Final Fantasy Awakening vs Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag
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.
Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag
Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag is a rather unique mobile MMORPG that follows the popular anime and light novel series of the same name, Sword Art Online. In this game, you'll be playing as a low-level Kirito and will be attempting to escape from the VR MMORPG that you are trapped in by going through all 100 floors of the Aincrad castle. Aside from its storyline, the majority of its characters are also based off from the actual anime series, including all the original voice actors. Best yet, you can actually recruit these familiar characters to your team of heroes through a fun gacha-like system before heading off to battle both AI enemies and other human players alike. After all, in this game, your team's survival is the only thing that matters!That said, the most unique part about this game is that the game interestingly combines elements from a standard 2D side-scrolling action game with all the complexities and nuances of a casual role-playing game, which results in a one-of-a-kind gaming experience that fans of SAO and/or RPGs can really get behind. If you love SAO or maybe mobile MMORPGs in general, you'll definitely enjoy playing this game.
