You may think that the most unusual Final Fantasy game that you have ever seen was Final Fantasy: All The Bravest. However, the latest addition from Square Enix’s mobile games catalog, Pictlogica Final Fantasy, may make you think otherwise. Square Enix recently announced that the popular free-to-play mobile game Pictlogica Final Fantasy will now be making its way next month for its release for Nintendo 3DS. Gematsu recently announced that the famous puzzle game was launched in Japan in 2013 for IOS and Android devices.
Now it will also be available for the players to download the game through the Nintendo eShop from July 12th onwards. However, for now, both the 3DS and the mobile versions of this game are just released only in Japan right now, and that is a bit of a bummer for us. To my belief, everyone around the world is waiting for its release in their countries, too; after all, the game is damn adorable. The game comes with over 300 various types of puzzles that are included within the game. It also showcases more than 160 characters from this massive RPG franchise. No doubt people go crazy about this game.
Here in the Pictlogica Final Fantasy Puzzle Game, the players must complete different illustration puzzles and take on quests that will feature turn-based battles. Winning will help each character to learn new skills, get customized with new and stronger weapons, and level up.
Gameplay:
The Pictlogica Final Fantasy was inspired by the famous 10000000, an indie puzzle RPG game. The Pictlogica Final Fantasy is also a free puzzle RPG game that has mashed together different characters and settings from the Final Fantasy universe. The game arrived with a battle based on the Picross 3D system that will make you feel like a puzzle version of the actual real-time combat system. This game also has In-App Purchases.
Just like the other games of this series, The Pictlogica Final Fantasy also has an epic single-player quest that will take you all around the Final Fantasy universe while you solve various puzzles to perform different combos to shock your enemies. In the multiplayer mode, you can also form groups of up to 5 different characters that will level up and will also unlock new abilities once they gain enough experience. You can also use Summons and many other special abilities of the characters, like the healing spell, by successfully chaining attacks together and creating different combos. However, make sure to strike fast because the longer you take to launch your attacks, the weaker you will be. This is a very important part of the gameplay to balance the various use of complicated high special moves and the fast attack speed.
The memorial is a character that comes from the plates that the player mines for and can also be found as a drop from the monsters after defeating them or can also be obtained as a quest completion reward. Players can utilize up to four numbers of their own plates and can borrow a fifth plate from any fellow players for the battles.
Extra rewards can be obtained for unlocking the obtained character Plates, but this requires you to solve their puzzles. These nonogram puzzles can be a 10 x 10 matrix for the standard characters or a 15×15 matrix for the premium characters. If you can solve these puzzles without errors on the first try, you are entitled to win better rewards. Other than this, the Memoria will yield rewards every 24 hours, but this time period can also be reduced by completing various in-game achievements. Other than this, the male characters in the game yield gold and the female characters will yield element orbs, and which are useful for crafting purposes.
Memoria is available in five different grades, of which the higher grades are achievable by upgrading. The grades greater than three are exclusive only to the premium memorial. Mine by Yourself can yield normal memoria plates up to grade two, and the Have Moogles Mine will generate normal memoria plates of grade three and premium plates up to grade two. If you choose to mine 10 plates using Google, then it will yield a guaranteed premium plate on the 10th draw. Moreover, one set of premium memoria is featured every week with boosted rates at grade three. This includes the newest plate that is to be added in that week. The plates also come either with a unique accessory or a particular weapon upgraded to the highest grade. At times various limited and rare memoria, known as the Chaos Memoria, will also be available at limited rates. These plates come in dark purple color in contrast to the gold color of the premium memoria when you draw them during the draw sequence.
The higher grade memoria will have higher stats. The standard memoria with grade three can learn a single skill that belongs to their own job class, while the premium memoria comes with a leader skill and can learn one of the three skills through the Skill Fusion, which will consume a regular memoria with grade three having the particular ability and a Skill Prism. The success probability of such fusion varies by class, where class I is for the high chance, Class II is for the medium chance, and Class III is for the low chance. However, you can guarantee a successful fusion by using the Luminous Skill Prism.’ The Leader skills are being activated by choosing the memoria which will be utilized by the party leader regardless of their position. Premium memoria can help you learn various Premium Skills and unique skills that can charge during the battle through fusion with the memoria prime crystals.
