![]() ![]() Once the items are all gathered and the player has seen all the memories, they can connect certain objects that exist across two different memories to move freely between them. Occasionally, the player will have to explore Johnny's house and the surrounding area for certain clues, if they cannot gather enough energy from a certain memory, or don't know how to proceed to a further one. Gameplay is primarily about exploring Johnny's memories to find significant objects and collect energy from them to strengthen the memory and connect to a more distant one, from Johnny's old age leading back to his childhood. The game's focus, being a more story-driven game, is around puzzle solving, interpreting information from the subject's (Johnny's) life, and finding ways to get deeper into his memories. However, unlike a typical RPG, To the Moon has no battle system (aside from a joke battle near the beginning), inventory system, nor party system. To the Moon is built on the RPG Maker XP engine, which is used to create 16-bit 2D role-playing games, in the style of Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. An animated film adaptation is in development, partially scripted and supervised by Gao. While criticized for lacking much gameplay, To the Moon received praise for its narrative and music, thematic material and emotional power, with some considering it a leading example of artistic expression in video games, and was nominated for several awards. The game was updated later to include free downloadable content called "minisodes" to give more context to the main characters, such as 2014's A Bird Story. To the Moon would become Freebird Games' first commercial product, following smaller, experimental games released for free on the studio website. Development started in 2010, when Gao was struck by questions of mortality following his grandfather's life-threatening condition. The game was designed by Kan Gao using the RPG Maker XP toolkit. ![]() The game features relatively few gameplay mechanics, with the player controlling the two doctors, exploring the narrative and solving puzzles as they try to reconstruct the dying man's memories in order to fulfill his wish. The story follows two doctors who offer to fulfill a dying man's last wish using artificial memories. It was originally released for Microsoft Windows in November 2011, with ports later being released for Mac OS X, Linux, Android, iOS and Nintendo Switch. It will be interesting to see where the studio takes the X storyline, but for now? For now, we wait for more 7 Remake news.To the Moon is a psychological drama adventure game developed and published by Freebird Games. A hint to Final Fantasy X-3? Time will tell what’s in store." However, the audio drama leaves it hanging. When a new mystery emerges, it forecasts a great danger is looming again. Chuami has an interesting connection to one of Final Fantasy X’s main characters, and Yuna, Tidus, and other cast members reveal what they’ve been up to. "Set three years after defeating Sin, the scenario introduces two new characters named Chuami and Kurgum. "This HD collection features a 30-minute audio drama teasing that the quest to save Spira is hardly over," said our own Kimberly Wallace in her review of the HD Remaster. Regarding Final Fantasy X and X-2 and its HD remaster, we here at Game Informer loved this adventure, scoring it a 9 out of 10. Still, the knowledge that a story is written and the desire to return to this narrative is good news for those hoping to return to the X series. With the second part still a large mystery and the total amount of entries is still unknown at this time, it could be many, many years before we ever see anything concrete about Final Fantasy X-3. While he did confirm that the probability of returning to Spira is "not zero," he did add that Square Enix is fully focused on Final Fantasy 7 Remake at this time. In a recent interview with Famitsu, a Japanese gaming magazine translated by the folks at RPGSite, Nomura confirmed the existence of X-3's story, saying: "If we are to make X-3, we somehow have a synopsis written by Final Fantasy X writer Kazushige Nojima." He added that "it's sleeping right now, but the plot itself does exist." However, the caveat is that it is still a long way off as the team focuses on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It looks like those X-3 dreams could be coming true because director Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that a Final Fantasy X-3 concept is already in motion with the story already written. ![]() For those that loved the Final Fantasy X experience and its sequel, many have wondered if a third game in this particular iteration of the Final Fantasy universe would ever be a reality. ![]()
