Lightning is indeed one of the game's trance characters. You may now all pre-order 2 copies of the game instead of the usual 1.

Lightning indeed... RETURNS!!!

Final Fantasy Explorers Adds Beastmaster Job And A Look At Bahamut

Sounds like those who have played it at TGS say that it reminds them of Crystal Chronicles.

Seems like nobody really cares about this game.

Pardon my ignorance if this has already been stated. Has this game been announced for the overseas crowd yet? I've watched some videos and find myself slightly intrigued.

 

[Squirrel Emperor]

No, it hasn't been announced for the overseas crowd yet.

 

[Azuardo]

Always interested but will be more interested once it gets confirmed for the West. Which will be quite some time away. Appreciate the updates.

I am actually interested in this game, but I think like most other stories and smaller titles, this fell victim to FFXV opening up the floodgates this past week. And to me, this is one of those games where there isn't much to talk about until you lay hands on it.

Regrettably, I sold my 3DS a short while back, because I needed some money to go towards a new laptop, so acquiring another model, likely the *New* 3DS is first and foremost on my mind before I fully contemplate on picking this one up.

 

[Leonhart]

I think no one posted this yet:

I don't know what to think about this yet... I think I prefer with they just stick with the original characters.

 

[Azuardo]

God damn, I just realised chibi Lightning has some womanly thighs at last! Shame her XIII model isn't as meaty.

 

[Tani]

Chibi Lightning looks too cute *_*

I'm so busy with XIV right now but I still really want to get/play this. The "legacy characters" details has released. Some people are questioning the mission of Zidane (or anyone from IX), I'm more upset the lack of Vivi!

Square mentioned they would like FF: Explorers to turn into a series of games, so with that in mind maybe Zidane will make it into the next game or DLC for this one?

BTW, I know Famitsu reviewed the game already, but are there anymore reviews available? I'm pretty interested in picking this up but not sure if it's a real winner.

I wonder why Zidane isn't there.

Most reviewers are saying that it loses its charm after a few hours, and is only really good if you're a diehard fan that has to have it.

I think the general consensus is that it's a poor man's Monster Hunter with FF skin.

Here's me talking about the game a bit. The full review on RPG Site is coming from someone else, but I have about 30 hours logged.
