Final Fantasy Awakening vs Pokemon Go
Final Fantasy Awakening
Final Fantasy Awakening is one of the many official, third-party spin-offs for the incredibly popular Final Fantasy game franchise. Featuring a 3D ARPG gameplay that many casual MMO gamers would probably be familiar with, this game offers players with a brand-new storyline set in the world similar to Final Fantasy Type-0. Aside from having plenty of the franchise's iconic characters and Eidolons, Final Fantasy Awakening also boasts of containing over 200 high quality CGs that help in the visualization of the narrative as well as the gameplay.The game is a party-based RPG, where you'll need to recruit heroes to your Class Zero team. However, the heroes that you choose will also have positive or negative reactions to the other members of the team - this is called hero's bond, and having a good symbiotic bond can be crucial to assembling a much more superior team. Besides the many PvE elements, the game has a strong focus on PvP as well, providing players with intense cross-server PKs and Arenas to showcase their team and their skills.
As exciting as all of these sound, Final Fantasy Awakening is however only available in selected countries in the South-East Asian region for the moment. It is possible that the game may eventually make its way to the Western countries, but if you simply can't wait, using a mobile VPN is a way to go or you can simply grab the game's APK (or the iTunes equivalent) off a third-party website.
Pokemon Go
Pokemon Go is one of the world's first and most popular augmented reality game where players embark on their own personal pokemon trainer journeys in the real world (respectively) in hopes of being able to "catch 'em all". Utilizing the devices' GPS, the app will track your movement and allow you to, when within close enough proximity, detect wild Pokemon which you can then attempt to catch, or open up pokestops and gyms so you can collect items from. Players are split up into 3 teams, Mystic, Valor and Instinct, and they are often pitted against one another over the control of the Pokemon gyms around their area.In addition to legendaries appearing in the world, the game has also rather recently released exciting raids which will force you to group up to and battle boss Pokemon which has extremely high Combat Power (CP). Niantic, the developers of the game, has even organized massive Pokemon Go events throughout the world, sometimes even allowing players to remotely join in the fun.
Pokemon Go has revolutionized the gaming industry by superimposing digital Pokemon in the real world via the cameras on mobile devices, as well as popularized the use of global positioning to track a player's movement in the real world. Even until today (after the hype has apparently died down), the game is still widely played by millions all over the world. So, if you haven't already, you should definitely try this game out. This is also a no brainer if you happen to be a massive fan of Pokemon and its games.
