Final Fantasy Record Keeper vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Final Fantasy Record Keeper
Final Fantasy Record Keeper is one of those games that will trigger waves after waves of nostalgia when you play it. This amazing RPG provides long-time fans the opportunity to relive momentous events in the Final Fantasy franchise that are seamlessly woven together into a tribute tale of sorts. The game digs deep into the lore of the game series, bringing back characters and stories that you might have not recalled before. Due to this though, Final Fantasy Record Keeperis more of a game designed for hardcore fans of the anime and not for someone looking to get into the series.The gameplay itself is party-based and you'll get to recruit various familiar Final Fantasy characters (across the entire FF universe including all the major spin-offs) to deploy into your team. Final Fantasy Record Keeper even offers players the Final Fantasy hallmark battle system - the Active Time Battle (ATB) where you get to control the flow of the battle. Of course, to spice things up, the game even has special events every week along with frequent updates as well as new chapters and characters.
This is definitely a mobile game to add to your mobile devices if you are a hardcore Final Fantasy fan. However, if you're not, you might find it a bit hard to relate to any of the nostalgic moments and well, the multitude of characters might just confuse you. It might be best to try another Final Fantasy game instead.
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time is an anime-inspired MMORPG title - the first of its kind - within the Zenonia game series. Apparently, Gamevil has given up adding numbers to their single-player Zenonia series and have created something of a spin-off MMO. Regardless of the major shift from single to multiplayer, the game still retains the charm that has rocketed the series to fame in the first place - it's Legend of Zelda-like experience albeit in a more anime format.Being an MMO now, the game provids players with an online hub of sorts - a virtual town - to interact with each other and with various helpful NPCs including quest givers and PvP arena ringmasters. The game also features the usual hack-and-slash combat system, many character classes and pretty graphics.
Although it's nice that the game's now a multiplayer game, we feel like the game has not really made the most of its multiplayer function and had restricted itself in terms of the features that are available. Not to mention, having a great storyline has never been this series' storng suit and this weakness is very evident in this game.
All in all though, if you've always wanted to try an MMO version of Zenonia, this game definitely fit the bill in spite of some of its downsides. After all, it's a free game. So, download it today on your mobile devices and give it a try!
