Monster Strike is known in Japan as "the game that saved Mixi", a social network that was going down the same way MySpace did in America, at least until this came out. It was originally a Mixi game, but is now an iOS/Android game as well. You battle in a Pinball and Angry Birds-esque system that adds a unique twist to the mobile RPG formula, collecting coins, orbs and monsters as you go.
Take a deep breath. This is a Final Fantasy x Monster Strike event, and is nothing to do with Monster Hunter. Stop playing so much Monster Hunter. Go to bed. Rest. And awake anew for some Monster Strike crossover fun once you've calmed down a bit. Because Monster Strike is fun too.
Wasn’t thinking of Monster Hunter author, so quit bringing it up in the description
Who doesn't SE try to "crossover" FF with? Is the brand in that big of trouble that it needs more recognition?
What's next? Final Fantasy x NFL Football? Final Fantasy x Call of Duty? So desperate SE.
Japan's massive mobile hit Monster Strike has been one of the best-selling mobile games these years, but it doesn't seem to work out well in overseas markets. Publisher Xflag announced today that it's shutting down the English-language version of Monster Strike this summer.
Crunchyroll: The Monster Strike mobile game is ready to help Final Fantasy celebrate its huge 30th anniversary with an upcoming collaboration. Mixi recently revealed the event, with details to be announced at their booth at Tokaigi 2017, which takes place at Chiba's Makuhari Messe February 11-12.
While we'll have to wait until then to see what exactly the collaboration entails, for now we have some nice artwork from inimitable Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano.
