Fantasiah: soon one million downloads on Apple Arcade

While the Apple Arcade subscription is of absolute opacity as to its subscriber or download figures since its beginnings in March 2019, Hironobu Sakaguchi surprises by revealing on Twitter that its RPG Fantasian is approaching the million downloads.

We can not ignore this little statistic as it is rare to have a figure to get under the tooth about the Apple Arcade. If Apple has built a solid game catalog completely free of advertisements and microTransactions, its success remains difficult to measure. In its results published last spring, the Cupertino Group still asserted that the number of subscribers to its various paying services had further increased (more than 660 million), but has never communicated on the number of users of the Apple Arcade in particular.

Last RPG driven by director / producer / screenwriter FINAL FANTASY , Blue Dragon , Lost Odyssey or The Last Story , FANTASIAN is for reminder released in Two parties, the first on April 2nd and the second on August 13th. Developed with the ARZEST studio and the composer Nobuo UEMATSU, the game has been received rather favorably despite a scenario and characters too classic and a sometimes quite confusing difficulty. At the level of the more local criticism, it is further noted that the game has not been located in French.

Launched in March 2019, the Apple Arcade subscription reorganized last spring by ranking three categories: Apple Arcade Originals, timeless classics and legends of the App Store. The subscription, which costs recall 4.99 euros per month, now has more than 200 games, including original titles signed Square Enix, Capcom, Konami, 2k Games, WB Games, PlatinumGames and Clap Hanz. The recent notable outings include NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition , Star Trek: Legends or Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls .
