Final Fantasy Brigade Uses The Same Art Style As Theatrhythm

Square Enix and DeNA teamed up to release a Final Fantasy social game on DeNA’s Mobage platform. The game launched in Japan this week, and you can take your first look at it with these images. It uses the same style of art as Kingdom Hearts re:Coded and Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy:

In Final Fantasy Brigade, players travel the world and master jobs by completing various quests, in order to restore radiance to the world’s crystals. You have access to your own airship, and can team up with other players as well.

 

The game also has a PvP element, but we aren’t sure how this works yet. You can find some of the job classes present in the game in the image at the top of this post.

    It’s also the same artstyle of KH mobile.

    Looks pretty good. I don’t know enough about Final Fantasy brigade, so this has helped. I just hope that we will see NA localized versions of Final Fantasy Legends, this, and Final Fantasy 7: Before Crisis. The last one, I have read, may come over here, but there is no reason to believe that the other two will.

    I like it, myself.  Reminds me of certain children’s picture book styles.

    I want it ;___;
    it’s so…
    cute!

    …Looks like a bad flash game.

      And it looks better than most post-VII FF stuff aesthetically.

      • Monkey_T

        You kidding? VII was an eyesore.

      That’s a bit unfair, don’t you think? Saying it’s looks like a “Bad Flash Game” is like saying “It looks like a bad C++ game”. It looking simplistic doesn’t mean it’s “bad”.

    Can we, y’know…not use this art style any longer, please? It may be cute, but it’s also just too simplistic and lazy.

      Simplistic style does NOT equal lazy…

        In this case though, it somewhat is.

          As someone who is engaged to an artist. Simplistic styles are NOT laziness. Laziness would be taking sprites/chartacter models from older games and Copypasting them. They could have easily done it, but instead they opted to draw in this style. Shel is perfectly correct when they say that a simplistic style does not equal laziness. Drawing characters like this still takes effort.

          Not to rag on you guys (You’re still one of the nicest places to comment), but i’m surprised you actually got likes on your comments, i thought people here appreciated how much goes into making art for games. Simplistic or not.

            Simplistic art and minimalism is not lazy. I agree. But this art style is just not that good. I think that’s all they’re getting at. It’s unique, yes, but it’s not very creative. Since all the faces are the same lifeless neutral face.

            I agree that simple doesn’t mean lazy. Let me just reiterate: in the case of this game, it is. There’s just no variation among the Final Fantasy characters, while the enemies featured in this game are better looking and carries better charm.

    I thought the third one in the top picture (a paladin) was Cecil. Seriously, it looks like they just recolored the hair of Cecil’s Theatrhythm sprite to blond.

    well, they reused one engine, why not another o 3o

    Siliconera, what in the world is this little facebook, twitter, google+ bubble thing floating down the page while I try to read the article? It’s very distracting and I can barely post a comment with it here. Please get rid of it, otherwise I will have to stop reading your website.

    I don’t get this art style. I hope it goes away soon.
