It may not be nearly as culturally seismic as Final Fantasy, but Fantasian Neo Dimension is proof positive that Hironobu Sakaguchi is an RPG maestro – it's another memorable tale that deals with big themes and neat systems, and its arrival on consoles is more than welcome.

Critic reviews
- Fantasian Neo Dimension does Apple Arcade's best-kept secret justice on consoles.
- 10Additionally, in my experience replaying the game on PC, the new release is remarkably more stable and performant than when we had played the original relaese on Apple TV 4K (2021). We experienced no crashes on any of our PC systems, and performance was strong enough that we are confident that any reasonable PC setup will have absolutely no issues playing the game. Finally, additional improvements such as the new voice acting have had a profound impact on the game's presentation during key scenes, particularly memories. All put together, Fantasian was already a game we were confident in giving our RPG of the Year 2021, and Neo Dimension has thoroughly polished things to a shine. We are proud to give Fantasian: Neo Dimension our coveted 10 out of 10.
- 9.0In a year brimming with amazing JRPGs, FANTASIAN Neo Dimension stands out as one of the best, thanks to its charming characters with well-developed backstories and interactions, emotional story moments, solid combat system, and a very distinctive visual style. While these elements are the evolution of what Hironobu Sakaguchi did with the Final Fantasy series, their execution makes the game a must-play for both longtime fans of the genre and newcomers alike.
- Fantasian Neo Dimension è un titolo che necessita di essere giocato, sviscerato e portato all’attenzione di tutti. Non c’è nulla di nuovo, tranne un paio di meccaniche interessanti, ma la realizzazione estetica come musicale è di primissima qualità, al netto di quello che è un gioco realizzato con n budget estremamente ridotto. Di questa situazione ne hanno fatto virtù, spremendo ogni singola esperienza in forza a Mistwalker e restituendo un JRPG decisamente notevole.
- 8.4Fantasian will make you work hard for every win, but the reward's always worth the effort
