October 22, 2026, worldwide, on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC.

Partly. It adapts the first story arc, "Lapis", of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, the 2015 mobile game, with Rain, Lasswell and Fina as leads. But it is a full premium console RPG, not a port: the gacha mechanics are gone, the combat was redesigned and the visuals moved to HD-2D. Sources: Wikipedia, RPG Site.

After Veritas of the Dark destroys the Earth Crystal, the knights Rain and Lasswell, joined by the mysterious Fina, set out to protect the remaining crystals of the world of Lapis. Critics found the plot pleasant but predictable, a classic crystal story rather than a twisty one. Sources: Wikipedia, Metacritic.

Yes, traditional turn-based, not the ATB gauge of older Final Fantasy games. The core loop is to fill an enemy's stun meter, stun it, then unleash special and combination attacks while it is helpless. You can also summon Visions, ghosts of iconic Final Fantasy heroes. Reviewers rate the combat as the game's strongest point. Sources: RPG Site, Wikipedia.

Visions are summonable spirits of famous Final Fantasy characters that fight alongside your party. Cloud, for example, brings enhanced physical attacks and lightning magic. A recurring criticism is that Visions feel less central than expected to the overall design. Sephiroth appears separately as an optional super-boss. Sources: Nova Crystallis, Wikipedia.

Reviews are generally favorable. Metacritic sits at roughly 83 (Switch 2), 85 (PS5) and 86 (PC, Xbox), and OpenCritic shows 92% of critics recommend it. Individual scores: Game Informer 9/10, IGN 8/10, Destructoid 8/10, GameSpot 7/10, Eurogamer 3/5, VGC 3/5. Praise goes to the combat and HD-2D visuals; the criticism targets a predictable story and underused Visions. Sources: Metacritic, OpenCritic, Wikipedia.

Most US listings show $49.99 for the Standard Edition and $59.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition, while European stores list about €59.99 and €69.99. Some outlets reported higher US figures ($59.99 standard, $69.99 Deluxe), so check your local store. A Collector's Edition around $209.99 has also been reported.

Square Enix's own estimate is 30 to 40 hours for the main story. Famitsu's review put the campaign closer to 20 to 30 hours, with around 70 hours for 100% completion, and some sources cite up to 80. Expect something in the 25 to 40 hour range if you mainly follow the story. Sources: Final Weapon, Push Square, Pure Xbox.
