Over a monthafterFantastian Neo Dimensionwas released, Square Enix gave players a minor update to download. Although no new content forFantasian Neo Dimensionwas included in the late January update, players will notice a few new options are available. The update adjusted analog stick movement controls and gave players a new camera interpolation slider in the settings menu. Dubbed the “Camera Interpolation Time” option, this new setting allowsFantasian Neo Dimensionplayers to adjust the camera’s speed when moving through the game’s open field areas, with 1.00 being the default position. Players who use a controller will also have the option to either disable the vibration or only leave it enabled during specific battles and events. Some bugs specific to the PS5 version ofFantasian Neo Dimensionwere also addressed, including some that crashed the game or caused the controller to stop taking inputs under certain conditions.
Finally, more options were added to give players more control over New Game+ mode. These options include sliders for enemy power and speed, alongside the option to scale New Game+ difficulty by replay count. Alternatively, a New Game+ run can be fixed to have enemies be as difficult as a first or second playthrough, which could help or hinder players. At the time of writing, it is unknown what effect theFantasian Neo Dimensionupdate’s New Game+ changes will have onearning specific Trophies and Achievements.
Although Sakaguchi previously stated he would retire following the launch ofFantasian Neo Dimension,the Mistwalker lead is looking to make a spiritual successor toFinal Fantasy 6as one of his final major projects. Only time will tell if Square Enix will also be involved.
