Report: The Next 3DS Final Fantasy Sounds Like Monster Hunter [UPDATE]

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

According to a Japanese Shonen Jump scan obtained by Siliconera, it's called Final Fantasy Explorers, and it's a multiplayer action-RPG.

The game will focus on searching for crystals and battling Summons, Monster Hunter-style, in parties of four. Multiple jobs will be available in-game—four of which, the Knight, the Monk, the White Mage, and the Black Mage, are shown on the scan—and taking down Summons will require teamwork and a proper use of class abilities.

The scan doesn't mention a price, a release date, or whether or not Explorers will be coming West.
