The Buzz

Fantasy Earth Zero is a MMO for the PC made by Square Enix and GamepotUSA that I manage to stumble across while searching toykopop.com. The game is a free MMO and when I first saw that the first thoughts that came through my mind was Square Enix made a free MMO get out of here! So, rapidly I downloaded the program to my computer, to see what this game was all about.

The game takes place in the Realm of Melpharia, which was a peaceful and prosperity land that has now been waged into war over the control of one ancient kingdom Ecetia, which once upon a time was the seat for the Mythical First King. The five other kingdoms who all believe it belongs to them are Hordaine- Controls the land of Oreole and are the youthful and most active kingdom, Netzavare – Controls the land of Victorino and is the home to non-human creatures., Yelsord-Controls the land of Pedestal and are all about knowledge, The Royal Alliance of Cesedria- controls the land of Akelnar and is ruled by an elfin queen, and The Gevrandian Empire- Controls the land of Strictor and are (just as they’re continent name says) strict and big on military.

The controls to the game remind me a bit of the controls from Guild Wars. However, the characters and scenery are very beautiful, and the game doesn’t take that long to download. It took me only about two hours to download it, and it holds all the characteristics of a traditional MMO. (You get to create your own hero/heroine, come up with a name, select a class etc.

The game play is a tad bit difficult at times, because the game does not use the traditional arrows keys to move the character, but the keys they use shouldn’t be that big of a problem w is up, a is left, d is right and s is down. So at least they are not all over the place. Sometimes it can get quite confusing because I accept what I thought was a quest, but in yet the quest did not pop up in my quests log.  How it goes it that you accept a letter red for beginners, blue for intermediate, and yellow for advanced and these are how you obtain your quests.  They also make it to where you have to really read the quest and take in the information; for those who have a bad memory you might want to write it down, because there is no going back to the quest giver to re-read the quest. It took me almost 15 minutes before I asked where I was supposed to deliver the letter too. Although, looking at the board does give you some insight on where the letters are delivered too, because each of the places will be in red, blue, and yellow.

All in all minus these few minor setbacks, I still gave it a try and I ended up really liking it. So, if you would like to find out more on this game and/or try it out you can visit the website at http://fez.gamepotusa.com/ and/or watch the trailer which I’ve posted here.
