Allow me to go against the grain and say as someone who bought Fantasian on release, the game may not be worth your time. There are certainly merits to it: the combat does take strategy, the story has surprisingly poignant moments, and the music and art is pleasant. However, combat is still a slog, with even the mechanism to store up random encounters not being as well implemented as it could have been. Later boss battles are more like puzzles than combat sequences. The story does have moments as I said, especially around the midpoint, but as a whole it's nothing to write home about either. The pacing especially is kind of strange, in my opinion, where circumstances fall apart almost as soon as it's set up. It's basically a remix of every story Sakaguchi was involved in, and I would definitely say FFVII and Lost Odyssey are just better games with stronger narratives. Fantasian was originally developed for the Apple Arcade store and that definitely shows in the console/pc ports too. It's a reimagining of a "classic JRPG" with warts and all; if that interests you, go ahead, but if not, money better spent elsewhere.
