For all you action RPG fans out there, Final Fantasy Explorers is now available in North America as of today! If you have a Nintendo 3DS, you can go pick up your copy and get in on the fun!
Unlike the other story-focused titles in the Final Fantasy line, Explorers is quest-driven, similar to Crystal Chronicles or the Monster Hunter series. Characters can be assigned quintessential jobs from Final Fantasy games like White Mage, Black Mage, Monk, Paladin, Dragoon, and a host of others including game-specific jobs.
You can play with friends by sharing your Nintendo Friend code with others or enter a local game via WiFi.
