Mr. Beard's Review
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius
Mobile Game

The way I am doing these reviews is either people Suggest a game, or I find a random game to play. I play the game for an hour and give my initial opinion. Sometimes however I do play a game a little longer. It all just depends on my mood when I'm ready to write the next post. Every time I play a game and give it my personal rating. I rate the game on 5 different personal points.

I'll get to each one separately and explain why I feel it gets a full star or not. Now I can get into great detail with everything about this game, but this is just a quick review of the game. If you would like to know more just let me know in the comments below. Plus I will also be posting links to some other great resources.

Ok, so wow. Right off the start, this one made me super nervous. As with any game I review I make sure to check the ratings and make sure I am not putting something out there kids should not be seeing. Ok, so it turns out that the partial nudity comes from a character wearing a thong? I mean it's a pixelated character? I am not 100% sure on that though. It was just what I found all over the net. I guess the suggestive themes could also be either the fact that they are fighting a war, or there is a bit of romance? Nothing you would not find in a typical Hallmark family movie though. I did manage to peek a bit while searching for the rating stuff, and I must say... Well, let's save it for the review.

Game Play

The gameplay and mechanics are fairly simple. It has a setup that looks like an old Final Fantasy game, except you just click the characters window and make them attack. So much downloading with these Square Enix games. A lot of the scenes have that old school Final Fantasy vibe. So far I am loving it. There is no free roaming exploration sadly. It is all a basic map with quest makers. The constant downloading slowed me down quite a bit, so I did not make it much past the tutorial before my hour ran out. I had just stopped when I learned how to Summon Visions. They are like the summons and Aeons of the older games. I may have to play this more and make a second review. So far though this seems like a classic feel with an upgrade. Overall I gave this a full star!

Graphics

The graphics are a well-balanced mix of classic and newer cinematics. A feel of the old school RPG mixed with modern animations. For me, this is highly enjoyable. The background and single picture images are done with a more modern approach while the sprites (characters) are done with a classic pixel format. I do enjoy the look and feel of the graphics and animations, for that, I gave it a full star!

Music

They did not fall short in any aspect of the music or sound effects at all. They used their trademark battle victory music and a lot of variety that seems to have been done in an orchestra? I mean, in all honesty, it probably could have been done digitally. It does have a great vibe, full of emotion and story driving ability. There is a wide variety of sad, upbeat battles, fast-paced action, and even soft calming music. I gave the music a full star. So very well done! I wonder if I can get this soundtrack?

Story

So far it is the same as any other Final Fantasy story. I have not gotten far into yet, but I am willing to bet there are a lot of variations. The basics are, darkness is coming to destroy the world and you have been chosen by the crystal to save it. I am fairly certain that covers the whole story. I have always enjoyed the stories produced by this franchise even though they all seem similar in their foundation. To me, that is what gives it that familiar feel. I gave the story a full star!

Replay Value

If this is like a typical Final Fantasy it could potentially have some replay value to it. I know on the console games I have always replayed the games to find all the secrets, hidden items, bonus scenes, and even to better my scores. Now if this game carries that same style or not I am not sure yet. I know recently I reviewed Dissidia and found out that there was not much to do after completing the story. I have yet to beat that game though and will find out fully on my own for sure. For now, I gave this a full star.

Trying to play this game really slowed me down because I had some bad Wi-fi today and the constant downloading slow me down drastically. I will be coming back when I beat this a do a full review of this game. If there is more to this than I first got a chance to see and you have played this then please let me know in the comments below. I do hope you enjoyed today's review and hope you all have a fantastic day!
