Final Fantasy Awakening vs MapleStory M
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.
MapleStory M
MapleStory M is the mobile successor of one of the world's most popular, 2D side-scrolling, anime-themed MMORPG. Designed specifically for the mobile platform, this game not only provides players with a whole new storyline but also brand-new regions to explore (in addition to all the old ones), amazing features to enjoy, gorgeous cosmetic items to put on, as well as challenging dungeons to raid and raid bosses to defeat.Like its predecessor, MapleStory M is completely free-to-play, though f2p players may find the game a bit grindy if they insist on spending no money on the game. The game is available on both Android and iOS.
