While some jobs can feel samey, there's enough variety here for just about any player to find something they'll love.Ĭombat really is where the game shines. A monk will focus on fistfighting, allowing players to counter attacks, teleport to enemies, and generally beat down enemies with speed rather than raw strength, whereas a Machinist (my personal favorite) will rely instead on attacking with firearms, performing targeted shots that can cripple or instantly kill foes, or setting up "gun drones" that will attack as the player does, leading to double damage. There are over 20 classic 'Final Fantasy' job classes that you can choose, and for the large part, they feel very different from one another.
The core loop of it all is simple: Playing as an Explorer that you'll create and customise to your liking in the town of Libertas, you're tasked with taking on a variety of jobs from the townsfolk that usually boils down to "kill X monster", and while that can sound dreadfully boring, the combat and job systems really help keep things fun.
It's extremely difficult to talk about 'Explorers' without bringing up 'Monster Hunter', because this game clearly owes a great debt to Capcom's storied franchise, but part of the reason this works is because it uses a working template and tweaks it in way that makes 'Explorers' its own thing. It takes an incredibly complicated genre and makes it immediately accessible without stripping itself of the complexities that can make these games so compelling. I think that's part of why I respect what 'Final Fantasy Explorers' accomplishes as much as I do. It's always been an increibly tough series to enjoy, and it definitely scares a lot of people of. I absolutely adore 'Monster Hunter', having put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into the series, but I didn't always feel that way about it, trying and failing to enjoy every entry on PSP before it finally clicked with me when I played 'MH3' on Wii.
