  The room search function was also quite limited, as I couldn’t even search with the parameter of something simple like “has not started mission yet”. Despite these flaws, Final Fantasy Explorers offers a good time with friends taking on iconic enemies from the FF universe- just don’t expect much of a challenge.

  Final Fantasy Explorers ultimately strips the complex portions of its genre counterparts into a barebones action title with Final Fantasy-esque elements. Explorers is not a terrible game by any means. What you get with Explorers is a game that can help you waste time as you wait for your next anticipated game or something to play in short bursts while you’re on the go but it’s not an experience worth partaking in, even if you’re a fan of both genres.

  6.0

  The usage of the classic style job system, along with the very enjoyable Eidolon boss battles, can provide near countless hours of gameplay, although the quests can get a little tedious after awhile. Final Fantasy Explorers may not be the best spin-off that the series has received, but it still might be worth a look for those who are fans of both Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy.

  7.0

  Square Enix has crafted a game that unabashedly caters to the Final Fantasy faithful and provides some wonderful opportunities for customization and collaboration, but experimenting with abilities and grinding for new weapons and armor can only keep you entertained for so long when the beasts you’re battling aren’t putting up a fight.

  Final Fantasy Explorers does end up showcasing some good ideas, but their execution leaves a lot to be desired. Slowdown, a lack of general polish, and a disturbing lack of communication options means that unless you have three friends you’ll be able to play the game with regularly, it’ll end up being a hard sell. It’s a shame too, since when you’ve got a group together that really know what they’re doing and can properly communicate, the game is a nice pick-up-and-play title that might scratch that MMO party management itch.

  5.5

  Final Fantasy Explorers failed at what it set out to do, which is something I’ve admittedly tolerated from other games in the series. Final Fantasy XIII’s clunky combat system, for example, made for an unpleasant playthrough, but at least it was attempting to impress. Explorers falls short because it’s afraid to step outside of its own simple trappings and is an exceedingly average game as a result.
