[E3 2015] Square Enix Announce World of Final Fantasy for PS4, PS Vita

Announcing a brand new Final Fantasy side-game for PlayStation platforms, Square Enix have unveiled World of Final Fantasy, a game described as attempting to expand “the FINAL FANTASY universe for a new generation of gamers”. In this game, players will be tasked with collecting, raising and taking into battle the monsters of Final Fantasy lore – the iconic, the adorable and the ferocious.

WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY combines classic RPG gameplay mechanics with fresh and imaginative toy-like visuals. As a brand-new title in the FINAL FANTASY franchise, this game can be enjoyed by both fans and newcomers to the series. Players will lead a pair of twins through varied FINAL FANTASY worlds and encounter the adorably familiar monsters therein. Capture and raise such familiar beasts as cactuar, chocobo, and behemoth to discover alternate forms and learn new abilities.

One of the key features of the game is a “stacking” ability – the siblings can adjust their size, turning small enough to jump onto the monsters during combat, or vice versa, shrink the monsters small enough to ride on the twins. By customizing and stacking their army of monsters, players can create strategic tower combinations and take on the most challenging opponents.

Currently in development for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, World of Final Fantasy is set to be available at an unspecified date in 2016.
