This Canadian company is taking aim at the $150-billion-plus global video-game industry.

They come together in a war against Vam the Malevolent, a cold and condescending godlike villain with little regard or respect for our heroes’ world. This ensures you’ll spend the bulk of your time exploring the world, battling and taking in the story, which, in fine JRPG fashion, stars a warrior with no memory, a strong-willed princess on a mission and a jaunty captain, among other familiar character archetypes. There’s still the satisfaction of levelling up, earning new skills, and upgrading your weapons and armour, but it’s all handled through streamlined and intuitive systems that allow players to maintain pace and zoom along in both battles and character housekeeping activities without getting stuck figuring out how stuff works. It’s also blissfully simple compared to most modern role-playing games, though that’s not too say it’s been dumbed down. From its orthodox structure - players are put in control of a party of heroes who explore towns, dungeons, and an overworld map, with turn-based battle occurring at random intervals - to its sci-fi-cum-fantasy vibe, which includes grand airships, imaginative monsters, and even glowing save crystals, anyone who played a turn-of-the-century Japanese role-playing game is going to experience some welcome nostalgia here - especially when Uematsu’s signature battle music and themes kick in.

This creative pair eventually moved on from the seminal series to which they gave birth, but they continue to collaborate on games produced by Mistwalker, a studio founded by Sakaguchi in 2004. Sakaguchi has credits directing, producing, or coming up with the stories of the first 11 entries in the series - yes, he wrote Final Fantasy VII - while Uematsu composed each game’s soundtrack, including themes and hooks that continue to make appearances in the franchise’s most recent entries.

The subscription service costs $5.99/month in Canada.For folks of a certain age and gaming proclivity, the names Sakaguchi and Uematsu are as iconic as those of any movie star or pop singer. For me, when I heard it, it almost made me tear up a little bit, because it was a very big moment in both of our careers.” Fantasian is “coming soon” to Apple Arcade. “On a positive note, he poured his heart and soul into it.

If Fantasian is to be their last full collaboration, though, Sakaguchi says he’s more than happy with the end result. While he notes that Uematsu will likely continue to do individual compositions for games - like last year’s Final Fantasy VII Remake, for which he wrote the main theme “Hollow” - Fantasian “might be his last record.” “I think he kind of hinted that Fantasian is maybe the last game that he does from end to end in terms of scoring an entire soundtrack,” recalls Sakaguchi.

It’s an especially important collaboration for them, says Sakaguchi, as the work required to compose and orchestrate entire soundtracks might prove too difficult for Uematsu going forward. But ultimately, Uematsu pulled through to compose the game’s entire 60-piece orchestrated soundtrack. “Before we approached him to work on Fantasian, he was going through some health issues, and there were concerns if he was going to be able to compose everything or if was it even possible for him to work on this,” said Sakaguchi. Uematsu Sakaguchi All told, the two have been collaborating for around 35 years, but it almost didn’t happen with Fantasian. To further add to Fantasian‘s classic JRPG feel, Sakaguchi enlisted longtime friend and collaborator Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer of Final Fantasy, as well as such Mistwalker titles as Lost Odyssey, The Last Story and Terra Battle.
