Sequel to World of Final Fantasy arrives by year’s end for Android
August 15, 2025
With almost 500 thousand copies sold worldwide, it appears that, inSquare Enix‘s eyes, 2016’sWorld of Final Fantasymore than merited a sequel. It’s just interesting that the sequel,World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo, would be exclusive to mobile and arrive by the end of 2017.
For those unfamiliar with the original,World of Final Fantasylet you play as twins hoping to regain their memories as they travel to various locations and get involved in different conflicts. The plot is definitely thin, but it allows for a greater focus on the unique gameplay, which allows players to capture Mirages à la Pokémon and use them in battle. you may stack these Mirages to pull off various combinations and attacks, though that limits how many moves you have at your disposal.
It also helps thatWorld of Final Fantasyis incredibly adorable, an aesthetic thatWorld of Final Fantasy: Meli-Meloalso features. The sequel also brings over the gameplay of the original, albeit with a new story with new characters. Even so, expect to see familiar faces from previousFinal Fantasygames, such as Lightning fromFinal Fantasy XIII.
What’s interesting aboutMeli-Melois the shift to mobile, whereas the originalWorld of Final Fantasywas available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Windows. That’s a strange move to pull, but one that makes sense for Square Enix, seeing how the company has released numerousFinal Fantasytitles on mobile.
The only thing I’m afraid of are the possible micro-transactions thatMeli-Meloappears ripe for. Then again, the move to mobile exposes theWorld of Final Fantasyseries to a new and incredibly huge market, which will help with future entries in the series.
World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melowill launch in Japan by the end of 2017 on Android. Square Enix did not mention a US release, but we wouldn’t be surprised if we see the game make its way to other regions sometime in 2018.
