Final Fantasy Explorers Announced

Square Enix today announced that Final Fantasy Explorers, a new action role-playing adventure, will be coming exclusively to the Nintendo 3DS on January 26th. Either through solo play or with up to three other Explorers, players can dive into dungeons to collect crystals scattered throughout the world while battling classic Final Fantasy enemies.

Final Fantasy Explorers focuses on cooperative play with friends and utilizes a refined party system allowing Explorers to master over 20 new and familiar jobs — including Knight, Monk, Black Mage and White Mage — to defeat the realm’s mightiest monsters and even recruit them for battle. Players will have the ability to call upon the powers of eidolons like Ifrit and Bahamut, as well as transform into other legendary characters from the Final Fantasy series via the Trance feature.
