Final Fantasy Explorers is a new twist on the long-running JRPG series' formula, but it owes a lot to the games that came before it. So, to honor the heroes and heroines of previous Final Fantasy games, Explorers will let players transform into 11 of the franch🐼ise's most iconic characters. You can see Cloud, Yuna, and Lightning in action with a new trailer:

In Final Fantasy Explorers, you'll choose from 21 jobs - cool ones, like Dark Knight, Machinist, and Ninja, not lame ones like Assistant Manager or Customer 🍌Service - and hunt down monsters in a never-ending quest for better, fatter loots. Complete special requirements, however, and you'll be able to temporarily transform into classic characters.

The tota♏l cast of returning warriors includes Cecil (FF4), Bartz (FF5), Terra (FF6), Aerith, Cloud, Tifa (all from FF7), Squall (FF8), Tidus (FF10), Yuna (in her Gunner attire from FF10-2), 🔯Vaan (FFXII), and Lightning (FF13). What, no love for Final Fantasy 9?

Final Fantasy Explorers wiꦐll be available for 3DS🦩 on January 26.
