A collaboration between Square Enix and popular mobile game, Brave Frontier developer, Alim. Brave Exvius is an all new crystal story. Very little information has been released other than game screens and the 3 primary characters, the hero, Rein, his rival Raswell, and the heroine, Fiina. Battle screens also show characters from previous Final Fantasy games fighting alongside the protagonists.

Ughh. With Square Enix’s track record on microtransactions, this is likely to be terrible.
I don’t think their smartphone games are microtransaction heavy, AFAIK. There was that one FF (mini-)game that handled it (spectacularly) badly that’s given people the impression that they’re worse than they are. Most of their other games are premium.
(Or I could be talking total bs)
Wait. It has “fantasies” in the URL, but the title has been corrected to “Fantasys” instead?
I’d just be happy with 7, 8 & 9 being released on mobile with no updates other than the HD from the Steam releases (obviously not 9 with that 🙁 ). Yeah I could emulate but I’d be happy to pay for official releases again.
Triple Triad … nice!
Tri…tri…TRIPLE TRIAD?!
That middle Triple Triad card at the bottom, 1s on all sides, what’s the point of that card? I guess you could match it against other 1s with the right rules but still
Iirc there was a rare rule that appeared to make low value cards more powerful in the game, but I used to grind the low cards into materials
I grabbed one of the games in a Steam sale a while ago. Had no luck in creating a square enix account so it was first and final for me.
Triple triad? You have me sold
Should be worth mentioning that Triple Triad will sync with Final Fantasy XIV’s Triple Triad once it gets added
Hurrah for Triple Triad but they defecated on it by adding new cards it seems.
In before the games are $50 each.
