Fantasian's combat mechanics are distinct because they factor in enemy positioning and the spatial layout of combat arenas. Additionally, the game introduces a smart system for handling random encounters, allowing players to accumulate these encounters and address them all at once, reducing interruptions in exploration.

Fantasian, initially released on April 2, 2021, has been praised for its innovative combat system and stunning diorama-inspired environments. The game's development by Mistwalker, a studio founded by Hironobu Sakaguchi, and its accompanying score by Nobuo Uematsu, reflect the high-quality crafting of RPG experiences typically associated with the Final Fantasy series. The Neo Dimension edition promises enhanced visuals and expanded availability, making it accessible to a broader audience of RPG enthusiasts.
