Final Fantasy Explorers promises so much and inflates the imagination of both Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy fans alike. The very premise of a beautiful and open world with all focus and attention paid to the Monsters of Final Fantasy lore sounds like a dream come true for a fan of the series. Sadly, FF Explorers fails to deliver as a competitor to the wildly popular Monster Hunter franchise. My first biggest complaint is that online co-operative play forces a sluggish and reduced frame rate upon players; My second biggest complaint is that there is no depth or attention to detail so far as combat goes - animations are reminiscent of early MMOs and combat patterns, move sets and the corresponding player tactics are basic at best. I wouldn't recommend this game at full price, and consumers should make a stand to show Square Enix that this level of quality isn't acceptable for the price they're asking.
