Final Fantasy Brave Exvius vs Tartaros Rebirth
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is a mobile MMORPG focusing on collecting heroes and assembling strong teams. The characters in the game are almost all based on the popular Final Fantasy franchise from Square Enix so you might see more than your fair share of familiar faces if you're a hardcore Final Fantasy fan, but the game does throw in some originals specially designed for Brave Exvius. New heroes can be obtained by completing missions or you can choose to improve your existing heroes by leveling them up and upgrading their grade and skills.Aside from the brilliant attack animations, the gameplay is very easy to grasp but if you want to delve into the game's deeper level of combat that requires some extra tactical know-how and strategic planning. There are plenty of dungeons and worlds for you to explore too but the paths aren't always linear - you may find secret routes that hide some extra rewards for the naturally curious. For the PvP-inclined, there are thrilling arena battles that you can dive into as well!
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius may not be anything like the namesake it is based on - it is a lot more casual just so it can cater to mobile gamers, but the game is still a Final Fantasy game through and through. The storyline in this game is a rather nice addition to the overall story and the characters are pretty much still the same.
Tartaros Rebirth
Tartaros Rebirth is the revived version of the anime-themed MMORPG that was popular back in the 2000s, Tartaros Online. Featuring everything you know and love from back in the day, this game has something new to offer as well, such as brand-new storylines. Like the original, you'll get to play as one of nine unique characters, each with their own personalities and skillsets. You can switch between them while you're in town, but not in dungeons or instances. Questing is the main way to level up in this game and the grind is real. However, there are tons of places for you to explore and you can even use higher level characters to complete quests for your lower level characters to turn in.The combat system is rather clunky though, so is its controls with keys that you'll probably have to rebind. Battles are played out in a semi-action-based manner, but since you can't really dodge, block or dash away from danger, all the "non-action" can be a bit underwhelming. Not to mention, the graphics isn't updated somehow and although it may have been acceptable back then, it is definitely not something that will appeal to players in this day and age.
So, in short, Tartaros Rebirth is a great anime-themed game to play, despite sharing many similarities with Dragon Nest, for nostalgic purposes but if you're simply looking for a new anime game to play, you might have a better time playing Lineage II: Revolution.
