Since it was revealed at the Tokyo Game Show last year, Final Fantasy Explorers was a title for some odd reason that fans took notice of. Maybe it was the cutesy art design or maybe the hunter style gameplay with various Final Fantasy character, whatever the reason, fans were demanding for a Western localization. Which SE fulfilled with delight and surprise. During Nintendo’s first Direct since the passing of Iwata, it was revealed that Nintendo and SE announced a Western localization for Final Fantasy Explorers for the 3DS and revealed a special limited collector’s edition that is only available through the SE online store.
