Hironobu Sakaguchi's Terra Battle Enters Second Phase Of 'Download Starter'
If you ignored Terra Battle when it was first announced and when we told how good it was just because it was on mobile, you might be interested now. With the game crossing the 2 million download mark, a title set in that universe is coming to consoles.
Mistwalker isn't stopping there, though. The developer has announced a new set of download milestones. These include both in-game and corollary materials.
Here's what's coming as the Terra Battle community grows and more people download the game:
- 2.1 million: A Terra Battle novel
- 2.2 million: New music by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII)
- 2.3 million: New characters designed by Yosuke Kozaki
- 2.4 million: Puzzle Quest by Daisuke Yamamoto of GungHo Online
- 2.5 million: New background illustration by Yuuzou Kayama
- 2.6 million: Endless Quest by Yoshinori Kitase (Director of Final Fantasy VI - VIII, Final Fantasy X, Chrono Trigger)
- 2.7 million: Team Fujisaka world
- 2.8 million: A Terra Battle comic
- 2.9 million: Opera Quest with composer Nubuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy VI and many others)
- 3.0 million: Planning begins for a second Terra Battle concert
Mistwalker is also planning on a Terra Battle fan meetup. Details will be discussed at a later time. Terra Battle is free-to-play and available on iOS and Android.
Our Take
Contrary to what some believe, there are good mobile titles, and some of them are free-to-play. I really enjoy what Sakaguchi and Mistwalker have created here, as the gameplay is unique and challenging. If you have a compatible device, I urge you to give it a chance.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
