According this short video, Sakaguchi says mixing the practical and digital involves making models by hand and then photographing them, after which they're overlaid with 3D characters. In his words, Fantasian is a game that, "shouldn't exist."

Those who are interested in playing Fantasian apparently won't have to wait much longer. According to Sakaguchi, the game will come out this year, exclusively on Apple Arcade, though there's no specific date as of yet.
