A couple of weeks ago Square Enix announced an entirely new mobile Final Fantasy game that will be heading our way soon called Final Fantasy: Record Keeper. Since that announcement pre-registration has been available for those of you who know you are going to be getting this game when it launches. As per usual, when you pre-register for a game, you end up getting an in-game bonus/reward or two when the game actually launches.
Final Fantasy: Record Keeper, in case you missed our previous coverage, is going to take all of the favorite fan moments, characters, and battles from all the previous Final Fantasy games and stitch them together to create a whole new game and storyline. All of the characters in-game can be completely customized and equipped with iconic gear, powerful spells, summons, and hundreds of weapon from all of the previous games. Battles in Final Fantasy: Record Keeper use Square Enix’s ATB (Active Time Battle) system which are all from past games as well but have been put together as a completely new storyline. The entire concept is actually pretty interesting.
Square Enix did something similar to what Gameloft did with the Dungeon Hunter 5 pre-registration, having a bar there that slowly fills up as people socially share the pre-registration page as they sign up for the game themselves. Since this game’s bar has hit 600,000 points, Square Enix has unveiled what that reward will be – the 8-bit Creator. As Square Enix explains it:
Fans will now have a chance to have their likeness brought to life as an 8-bit character created by the FINAL FANTASY creative team, cementing their place in FINAL FANTASY history.
In other words you will be able to make yourself into an 8-bit character and, if the creative team picks it, they will make your likeness into an 8-bit character themselves. If you haven’t pre-registered yet, you can do so here. There is still no specific release date for Android, only that it will be this Spring.
Just a side note, the actual 8-bit Creator won’t be a part of the actual game. It’s just a web-based reward to play around with and you have a chance to have your creation actually in the game.
