Turn-based RPG Fantasian may be on its way to PC via Steam according to a new SteamDB listing. If the listing remains true, Fantasian will finally be leaving Apple’s ecosystem.
This past February, producer Hironobu Sakaguchi noted that a Fantasian PC port and sequel were possible. He did not confirm any projects were in development at the time, but it appears that Fantasian may be coming to PC after all.
Fantasian Potentially Coming to PC via Steam
A new SteamDB listing for Fantasian has appeared, implying that a PC release is imminent. Fantasian’s Steam database listing was updated this past July with key art for an official Steam page. Moreover, the listing received another update today, August 2, so an announcement may be coming soon. Most recently, a similar situation happened with the Tekken 8 closed network test on Steam, which turned out to be real.
Here’s an overview of the game via the App Store:
About Fantasian
Fantasian by Mistwalker Corp. — From the creator of Final Fantasy, comes the next breathtaking adventure from industry legend Hironobu Sakaguchi. Fantasian is an exciting, new RPG set against a spectacular backdrop made from nearly 160 handmade dioramas that blends physical environments and 3D characters.
- Dive into the Dioramas – Explore the nearly 160 different hand-crafted dioramas in Fantasian, with particular attention to detail. The adventure lasts between 60~90 hours with the first part more focused on story and the latter half more quest-driven, giving players the freedom to explore the world.
- New Battle Mechanics – Tapping into his experience from the Final Fantasy franchise, Sakaguchi brings to Fantasian several quality of life improvements to the classic JRPG genre, such as the “Dimengeon Battle” mechanic, which allows players to send previously encountered enemies into a separate dimensional dungeon to streamline combat and maximize uninterrupted exploration of the beautiful locations. “Dimengeon Battles” introduce various “Gimmicks” or power-ups that can turn the tide of battle for a satisfying encounter. Likewise, the Growth Map gives players various customization options and party members can be swapped in and out for even more diverse strategic options.
- Legendary Soundtrack – Celebrated composer Nobuo Uematsu, known for his work on the Final Fantasy series, scored all 60 tracks. The many layers of a full orchestra and diverse synth melodies compliment the memorable and magical world of Fantasian.
