Square Enix shared more details about Final Fantasy Explorers during a live stream session last week. Check out the information below, as reported by Siliconera.
– Ramuh’s theme is in the game
– 20 battle themes or so
– This is the majority of music tracks in Final Fantasy Extreme, according to composer Tsuyoshi Sekito
– Tsuyoshi said most were easy, but he struggled with the main theme
– 4 jobs in Final Fantasy Explorers as previously mentioned
– Tanks handle monsters and face bosses head-on
– Attackers are the main damage dealers
– Healers (like White Mage) are in charge of healing but can attack
– You can’t be a great healer unless you also participate in attacking or go with some additional support
– Buffers (Time Mage and Geomancer) support the party with spells like Haste
– Buffers can also attack, though this depends on one’s play style
– Customization will play a bigger role on how you get to play your jobs
– Trance system: going Trance is split into two “powers”
– One lets you use the power from Summoned Beasts, and the other that lets you borrow power from Final Fantasy characters
– Both transformations will give your character a different appearance as well as a boost in parameters
– More details on the Trance system/powers coming soon
– Ramuh is a Summoned Beast fight
– The Dragoon’s Jump will go to whatever you’re locked onto, but if you’re not, it’ll go a fixed distance ahead of you
– Geomancers can set up traps like landmines, and use area-of-effect buffing abilities that cover a wide range around them
– Cura ability costs more and isn’t as effective when used by non-healer jobs
– Ramuh can teleport
– Yellow crystals on the map can be broken to stop Ramuh from teleporting
– The crystals will respawn
– The Paladin uses Ifrit’s Summon power in Trance mode

Final Fantasy Explorers details
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
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.
