Grand Fantasia is an exciting free MMORPG that takes place in a beautiful fantasy world. Grand Fantasia uses cute and colorful gaming graphics to attract fans of games like HolyBeast Online (made by the same creators), Luna, Maple Story, and Fiesta Online. Grand Fantasia also uses a complex world to draw you in and keep you playing for hours. If you’re a fan of this genre of games or are simply looking for something new, this Grand Fantasia Review is perfect for you!

Grand Fantasia Review – The Basics

The first thing you’ll notice when you begin playing Grand Fantasia (or at least it was for me), is the music. The music actually suites this game pretty well and adds to the cuteness of it. Grand Fantasia takes place in the world of Saphael and has many quests to keep you entertained. The quests are fairly easy and can be accomplished alone if you’re the solo gaming type. If not, you can spend tons of fun filled hours leveling up and completing quests with friends. If you’re an MMORPG player who enjoys PvE, Grand Fantasia could be your cup of tee.

Grand Fantasia Review – Graphics

The graphics in this MMORPG are what you would expect of a shiny, colorful, and cute MMORPG. These fantasy 3D graphics make the game very easy on the eyes and are actually pretty stable (for a free MMORPG). The only downfall with the graphics is that they do have a tendency to glitch out at times, but for the most part if you have a fairly decent computer, you shouldn’t have too many issues.

Grand Fantasia Review – Game-Play Experience

Grand Fantasia’s game-play is where this game definitely delivers. Depending on how you look at it, you’ll either love or hate Grand Fantasia’s skill tree options. Unlike most games, you don’t have to worry about “wasting” skill points in Grand Fantasia because every character has access to their skill points in a chosen class (as long as you meet the required prereqs for the skill). While this may seem disappointing for players who like to customize their skills a certain way, there is an option to advance into sub-classes to gain some variety back. Grand Fantasia also has a talent system that allows players to gain passive bonuses to improve your character. Another great perk that the game has is the ability to care for your own Sprite. Sprites can help you in the game with their gathering and crafting abilities. Upon reaching level 21, you can even battle Sprites (as long as they’re in their second evolutionary stage).

 Grand Fantasia Review – PvP Mode

Grand Fantasia’s PvP mode is pretty good, but unfortunately cannot be unlocked until level 31. With this being said, it’s a little frustrating that the PvP mode can not be accessed until such a high level. The PvP play style does not offer anything special, however, it still is a lot of fun to play and a great way to try your character against other player’s characters.
