Final Fantasy Explorers
Final Fantasy Explorers features both cooperative play with friends and solo play, utilizing a refined party system which allows Explorers to master over 20 new and familiar jobs—including series classics like Dragoon, Dark Knight, Black Mage and White Mage—to defeat the realm’s mightiest monsters and even recruit them for battle. Players will have the ability to call upon the powers of eidolons like Ifrit and Bahamut, as well as transform into other legendary characters from the Final Fantasy series, such as Cloud, Squall and Lightning, via the Trance feature.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
