This week’s issue of Famitsu has a substantial update on Final Fantasy Explorers. There’s some recap of previously announced information, but there’s quite a bit new as well.
There will be roughly twenty jobs in the game, including the Geomancer. This job uses the surrounding ground to attack enemies and features moves like Earthquake and Sinkhole. If an enemy falls into a sinkhole, it will be hit with the Stop status effect.
Doryuasu is an original summon in Final Fantasy Explorers. It attacks with tentacles and powerful magic spells such as Earthquake. Poison mist emits from its body into surroundings and as such can cause poison, paralysis, and darkness status effects.
In the game, players will be able to produce familiar weapon from materials. These include Morning Star, Holy Lance, and Kikuichimonji.
Slayed monsters may drop items called Soul Stones. At a laboratory, these can be turned into living monsters which act as party members in single-player or in multiplayer if there are fewer human players.
Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII, Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII, and Terra Branford from Final Fantasy VI were previously confirmed for the “Trance” and “Legend Characters” system that allows players to transform into characters from classic Final Fantasy titles. During transformations, the background music changes. Confirmed tracks include Don’t be Afraid and Blinded by Light.
