Fantasy Earth Zero is what you might call Square Enix’s first failed MMO, seeing as they shut the game down in Japan only months after launch, before the game even had a chance to launch worldwide. The game was boring, confusing, and didn’t have much to go on in terms of content or long term viability. After the game shut down, in a measure we all know well, another company picked up the title to relaunch.
Gamepot launched Fantasy Earth Zero back in 2006 in Japan, whereas the North American version did not hit until just last year, May 2010. While the game has enjoyed some form of success over in the east, the same could not be said for its much delayed North American counterpart. In an announcement today, Gamepot announced that Fantasy Earth Zero will be shutting down in North America on March 21st, less than a year after launch.
If you looked further into the game, you’d find that it was quite a unique MMORPG. If you’re looking for boring, confusing, slow-paced MMORPGs, turn to many other WoW and Perfect World point-and-click ripoffs. If you were looking for a fast-paced, cooperative, teambased combat, turn to Fantasy Earth Zero. What a shame, I enjoyed the game.
…from what you say I wouldnt believe you if you told me you played more than an hour of FEZ
I liked FEZ, It was a great Idea and I would love to see another game just like it in the future, but it wasn’t done very well, It was laggy and glitchy (didn’t help that I sucked at it) And the combat was just… difficult to do. Outside of battles, the game wasn’t great either, there was no good questing, or any type of enthralling story. Something better done would be a huge succuss.
Overall: Great idea, bad execution.
I really love playing this game for the PvP. but it did lack in some areas and I wish it would be reluanched. I would definalty play it again.
