World of Final Fantasy Coming To Steam This November

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

Chibi versions of some of our favorite Final Fantasy characters will migrate onto a brand new platform, Windows PC, with the re-release of World of Final Fantasy on Steam later this month. 

Exploring the world of Grymoire as twins Reynn & Lann as they aim to capture classic FF monsters is an enjoyable and light-hearted romp, in my experience.  While I have yet to finish World of Final Fantasy on either PS4 or PS Vita yet, the time I did spend with the game was not only enjoyable but the writing (and generous amount of puns) left me with a smile on my face.  

Players who purchase the Day One edition on November 21st will get access to an exclusive soundtrack sampler, a digital wallpaper and the chance to catch a number of previously unavailable mirages. These exclusive monsters include: 

  • Sephiroth summon 
  • White Chocobo
