Review: World of Final Fantasy

There really has never been a more exciting time for Final Fantasy fans than right now with the strong build up to Final Fantasy XV in full swing with animated web series and a feature length film in Kingsglaive all building to its release later this month. But there is another game that really deserves to take centre stage right now for fans and it is a game that has completely taken me by surprise, so much so that the last Final Fantasy game that captivated me so much was Final Fantasy VII. It is time to step into the ‘World of Final Fantasy’.

World of Final Fantasy introduces us to the brother and sister heroes Reynn and Lann, who wake up unable to remember anything other than their names and that they are siblings. A mysterious woman who introduces herself as Enna Kros, explains to them that they are both in fact Mirage Keepers, endowed with the power to control creatures known as Mirages and that at one time they were both so powerful that they could ruled the world together. However their memories connected to the Mirages as well as the Mirages themselves has been stripped away from them. Enna Kros tells them that they should travel into the world known as Grymoire, the land of the Mirages, to recover their Mirages and in doing so hopefully reclaim their memories and discover what happened to them.

World of Final Fantasy for me is really a cocktail of traditional Final Fantasy games blending in with the charm of Kingdom Hearts with all the fun and excitement of Pokemon. That combination actually completely threw me as it was much unexpected. If fact if I am truly honest, my attention has been so focused on Final Fantasy XV that this almost snuck past me until I tried the playable demo on the PSN Store and it totally grabbed my attention in a surprising way. Visually this is perhaps the cutest game I have played this year, taking inspiration clearly from Kingdom Hearts and it is all the better for it. It is simply a beautifully drawn world to explore with so many adorable characters and Mirage creatures to meet that it really has such a wonderful aesthetic to enjoy the further the player dives into it.

But the foundation and the strength of this game is that of the Pokemon element, the Mirages. The twins must build an army of sorts by collecting Mirages along their journey in Grymoire. Mirages come in many shapes and types and by capturing them, the twins can harness their abilities and powers to become even stronger. Just like Pokemon, Mirages are captured in battle and the player will need to learn how to unlock each Prismtunity, the chance to capture the Mirage in a prism. The ways vary from using physical attacks to reduce the Mirage’s health to using a specific power or elemental attack to activate the Prismtunity and either Reynn or Lann will use a Prism to try and capture that Mirage. A total of ten Mirages can be carried at any one time, with any surplus Mirages sent and stored in the Prism Case safely back in their own world Nine Wood Hills, looked after by the Mirage Serafie. This Prism case can be accessed via any travel gate or save crystal to exchange the Mirages travelling with Reynn and Lann which comes in handy once you begin to level the Mirages up.

woff-1

Mirages have three forms or Transfigurations that can be unlocked as each grows in power by unlocking their skills and abilities through XP earned from battling. Mirages can have three stages; small, medium and large. As the Mirage learns a new transfiguration they will become stronger and learn new powers and abilities which Reynn and Lann can then use in combat. Using the Prism Case and once unlocked, the player can choose which Transfiguration they wish to use but each one still has access to the attributes of any Transfiguration unlocked so if you have unlocked the attribut bonues of the medium Transfiguration but choose to use the Small form, Reynn and Lann can still benefit from any of the bonuses of the medium form. Special attacks remain locked to the transfiguration. This all becomes very useful when it comes down to the combat in World of Final Fantasy, and something that to me is the most fun combat system in the Final Fantasy series yet,  Stacking.

Stacking allows the player to organise and build a stack that consists of three levels using the three forms a mirage can have of small, medium and large which translates into top, middle and bottom. Now each stack must include Reynn and Lann so each can have two Mirages with them in a stack. The stack pools together all the health points and powers of those within it so the player can put together very powerful teams combining different types of Mirages. Now Reynn and Lann can have two stack builds which the player can set up to use. Both twins have the ability to change from large size, known as Jiant to medium, known as Lilikin and so they can either be the base of a stack or the middle. In Jiant form the twins have their own special attacks which utilise the power type of the mirages in the stack. In Lilikin form they take the middle position and so a different large form Mirage takes the base and allows for stronger attacks to be used. It really is the most rewarding combat system for a Final Fantasy game in recent years, still using a turn based system from traditional games but refreshed by being able to tailor each stack to face the dangers Reynn and Lann face.

woff-2

The search to meet and capture Mirages by itself would make this game deserving of having the attention of any Final Fantasy fan but of course the story is also something that elevates this game so much for me. Unlike more recent entries to the series, World of Final Fantasy has a very easy to follow yet epic level story for players to experience. Thought and attention has clearly been taken to avoid what so many find to be troublesome in Final Fantasy stories in that at times as the player you can easily lose track of what is going on. Here the story is split into chapters, often when the story takes the twins to a new region and this bite size approach allows the flow of the story to always make sense and using by the Adventure Log in the menu, you can easily check where you are by reading the synopsis of each chapter as you move forward in the story.

The story is where I felt the inspiration that came from Kingdom Hearts and serves as real fan service for those familiar with the Final Fantasy series. Along their journey, Reynn and Lann will come across iconic characters from the Final Fantasy universe such as Squall from Final Fantasy VIII, Lightning and Snow from Final Fantasy XIII and Tidus from Final Fantasy X. It is so much fun to see them but more then that, they also fit really well into Reynn and Lann’s story that it just works so that as the player you do not even question why or how they are there. Once encountered, the player has the opportunity to purchase them as Champion Medals, gaining the ability to call on them in battle as a summon type attack. The animation of each Champion’s attack is something really special to experience especially when your own personal favourite appears such as my own in Cloud.

At the time of writing this I am now 42 hours into the game and story, and I still have so much to do in terms of catching and levelling up Mirages but I am still being distracted by side missions such as the Coliseum and Intervene Missions. The Coliseum serves as a battle arena where the player can take on challenges of different Mirage types in ever increasing difficulty which are all level based so you can gauge which ones you can tackle. Now whilst you will not earn XP from these battles, you can get items as rewards and you can also capture the Mirages you face, some of which are rare or higher Transfiguration stages to what you may have encountered in the story. To my surprise I then discovered that the Coliseum also has an online battle mode which allows you to use any of your captured Mirages and setup stacks to battle other players online and also to trade Mirages opening up a whole new extension to the game experience. Intervene Missions are fun side story missions featuring the Champions and are full of fun humour. Here time and space rules are bent to allow Reynn and Lann to step in to fight a battle for the Champion instead of them; again rewards are items and at times the chance to capture a rare Mirage.

woff-cloud

I have not been so captivated by a Final Fantasy game since FF VII, and leading into FF XV’s release at the end of November, this game has completely caught me off guard. Everything about World of Final Fantasy is just special in the wonderful nods to previous games to the excitement of capturing and battling Mirages to make them stronger. The story is beautifully written and told with some memorable moments that simply lift this title from being more than just a fan service game before the big release in XV. It is so accessible and easy to learn but with such a deep gameplay in the Stacking combat system and Mirage collection that I would easily recommend this game to old fans of Final Fantasy and new fans who may only have been familiar with more recent titles or the remastered releases.

World of Final Fantasy deserves more attention and time on the centre stage, it is so well crafted and put together as a Final Fantasy game that if XV was not releasing until 2017, it would be enough to shine a spotlight on the Final Fantasy series. It is charming, funny, challenging, rewarding and satisfying to such a degree that for me it has jumped right to the top of my own 2016 Game of the Year list. As someone who initially dismissed this in the hype build up for Final Fantasy XV, I cam so pleased that the playable demo on the PSN store changed my mind and snapped me out off that hype train.

I will be spending a lot more time adventuring with Reynn and Lann long after the story has ended, and I heartily invite you to join them for the ride as well!

0

Now World of Warships has added a little extra with Steven Seagal, he may have had a complicated relationship with warships in the past, he’s learned a thing or two about them. Now, he is braving the seas of World of Warships, letting players earn him as an in-game Commander for their vessel in a unique event. However, Steven Seagal won’t command just any old ship.

steven-seagal

In the event, which begins today 1st November and lasts until 14th December, you need to prove that you are a worthy action hero.

Once you’ve smashed through that milestone, Steven Seagal will be enlisted into your crew.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNQReC3y0cE

With Steven at your side, you could become more powerful than you ever thought possible. You could be the next great action hero. Steven’s not finished with World of Warships yet.

Central Intelligence – Born again actors

central-intelligence

It’s no secret that many actors feel they were born to act; that they wouldn’t know what they’d do if they couldn’t go on set or grace the silver screen any longer. Actors such as former child star turned cinematic chameleon Daniel Radcliffe have gone on record recently saying they’d be bereft if they were told they couldn’t act any longer, and cannot imagine another career path. Some, such as former comedian Kevin Hart, took a different road before finding their calling in life.

To celebrate the release of Hart’s latest hit comedy, Central Intelligence, which is available on Digital Download now and Blu-ray & DVD from 24th October, we take a look at actors who took a slightly different path on the road to superstardom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9lq11NNbg8&feature=youtu.be

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

Hart’s co-star in Central Intelligence and all round big screen titan, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson started out his career as a WWE wrestler, having played American Football to national championship level. From 1996 – 2004 Johnson was a major figure on the WWE circuit. A study in the art of multi-tasking, Johnson enjoyed an overlap between his wrestling and film career, making his feature film debut in 2001’s The Mummy Returns as The Scorpion King; a role he reprised in 2002’s film of the same name. Roles in comedies Be Cool, Get Smart and Race To Witch Mountain followed, before Johnson got his big break in 2011’s Fast & Furious 5. Since then Johnson has been unstoppable, starring in the likes of Pain & Gain, Empire State and San Andreas; and with the likes of Baywatch and Jumanji on the horizon the Johnson juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Boasting California’s most famous biceps, before Austrian born Arnold Schwarzenegger became known as a Hollywood heavyweight (in more ways than one), he built a reputation as the best bodybuilder of all time; winning Mr Universe at the age of 20 and Mr Olympia seven times. Not content with his weightlifting prowess ‘Arnie’ turned to the big screen; earning his first major role in 1982’s Conan The Barbarian. This paved the way for Hollywood producers to come calling, and just two years later he starred in James Cameron’s The Terminator – one of his most iconic roles. He reprised the role again in 1991, 2003 and 2015’s reboot, giving moviegoers one of the most quoted lines of all time; “I’ll be back”. Whilst Arnie is the ultimate action hero, he is also something of a career chameleon, and in 2003 he became the 38th Governor of California; serving for two terms until 2011. His next trick? Arnie will host and lead the weekly sackings on US show The Celebrity Apprentice, taking over from Donald Trump.

Harrison Ford

One of Hollywood’s most famous leading men started out life as a carpenter, making film props for George Lucas Productions. Lucas gave him his first break with a small role in American Graffiti. Following that, when faced with a sick actor Lucas had him stand in to read lines for a film he was creating in 1977 called Star Wars. Ford impressed so much that Lucas gave him the role as Han Solo; a role which defined Ford’s career and undoubtedly catapulted him to become the star he is today – earning him the princely sum of $10,000 in the process! Ford continued to play Han Solo in every Star Wars movie (no doubt acquiring healthier pay packages) up to 2015’s The Force Awakens. Aside from Star Wars, Ford is best known as Indiana Jones; a role which started in 1981 and has spanned four films and counting, with the fifth instalment planned for release in July 2019. As well as being a hugely successful movie star, Ford is also a qualified pilot and has a collection of planes based in Santa Monica.

Mickey Rourke

Unlike the other stars on our list who turned to acting as a second career, Mickey Rourke – real name Philip Andre Rourke Jnr. – started off as an actor in the early 1980s, with roles in films such as the Charles Bukowski biopic, Barfly. Then, in 1991, Rourke turned his back on acting to become a full-time boxing professional. A stint of three years in the ring pushed Rourke back to his first love, and on he worked until he hit the big time in 2005’s dark thriller Sin City, and 2008’s The Wrestler. The latter earned him numerous accolades, including a BAFTA, Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. Rourke is also a passionate dog lover; having owned numerous Chihuahuas, so much so, that in his 2009 Golden Globes acceptance speech Rourke attributed his success to his four-legged friends.

Jason Statham

Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley’s beau is not just a pretty face. The Derbyshire-born actor has many talents; and being a top sportsman is one of them. Most know Statham as the star of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), The Transporter trilogy (2002 – 2008) and, of course, the Fast & Furious franchise. However a lesser known fact is that Statham started out as a footballer and diver, being introduced to the former through his old friend, Vinnie Jones. His dedication to and prowess for diving grew, earning him a place on GB’s National Diving Squad for 12 years and a spot at the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Statham’s diving-honed physique then caught the eye of fashion brand French Connection, whom Statham went on to model for before starting his hugely successful movie career.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE IS AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL DOWNLOAD NOW, AND ON BLU-RAY AND DVD ON 24TH OCTOBER 2016

Now, Alicia is plotting how to get her career back on track after a torrid time as State Attorney, and must also decide whether to support her husband’s run for Vice President.

From the makers of We’re The Millers and Dodgeball, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE follows Calvin Joyner (Hart), an extremely popular student and star athlete who saves his helpless, obese classmate Bob (Johnson) from a truly humiliating experience. Twenty years later, the one-time bullied geek has grown up to be a lethal CIA agent.

Coming home for his high-school reunion and claiming to be on a top-secret case, Bob enlists the help of the former ‘big man on campus’ Calvin, now an accountant who misses his glory days. But before the staid number-cruncher realises what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them both killed in more ways than he can count.

Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart rip up the rulebook to become this summer’s funniest comedy heroes, with Johnson earning particular praise for his role as the transformed geek on a mission. With Amy Ryan (The Office), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) and Jason Bateman (Horrible Bosses 2) also along for the ride, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE is the ultimate comedy to track down when it’s released this October.

To celebrate the DVD release of The Comedian’s Guide To Survival, we have three copies to give away.

Struggling comedian James Mullinger (based on the eponymous, real-life comedian) has come to a crossroads in his life; no one wants to see him perform, his wife is fed up, and his day time boss has given him an ultimatum – take a promotion and never do stand up again, or stick to the comedy and lose his job. To add salt to the wound, his boss, the editor of COQ Magazine, wants him to interview the greatest comedians in the UK and North America for an upcoming comedy special.

Recalling his own worst performances and the disasters that followed, James analyses where it all went wrong, and finds himself steering the interviews to his own interests, rather than those of the magazine’s. Through spending time with his former heroes, a faint glimmer of his passion for stand-up comedy begins to stir again…

Starring James Buckley (The Inbetweeners Movie, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and featuring Paul Kaye (Game Of Thrones, Doctor Who), MyAnna Buring (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One, Downton Abbey), Tim McInnerny (Eddie The Eagle, Blackadder), Mark Heap (Friday Night Dinner, Green Wing), as well appearances from the crème de la crème of UK and international comedy talent such as Jimmy Carr, Omid Djalili, Gina Yashere, Gilbert Gottfried, Mike Ward and Luenell, THE COMEDIAN’S GUIDE TO SURVIVAL is this year’s must see Brit-com!
