Final Fantasy Artniks is a Japanese video game developed by Square Enix and the GREE social network. It is the second Final Fantasy social game and the second game developed with GREE.
The game is a card game using art assets, characters and battle systems from previous Final Fantasy titles. Players either fight series of battles against enemies and bosses for rewards and rankings, or engage other players.
The game was released on November 30, 2012, and in just over a month, one million players had joined. Square Enix reported in 2013 that social games like Artniks were producing "acceptable profits".
On June 30, 2014, Square Enix and GREE announced a sequel to the game, titled Final Fantasy Artniks Dive, scheduled to be released later in the near future.
Both titles have since been terminated.
Players begin by choosing a main card. They also utilize equipment cards that enhance all characters in play. Ability cards are also used to make attacks stronger and hit points higher. Defeating enemies and completing quests fills a meter that when full makes players enter "Burst Mode", releasing treasure chests. Boss combat uses Final Fantasy's active time battle system. Player versus player combat is also possible, and involves eleven cards instead of the five used in boss battles. Winners get points toward the games leaderboard, and also "Mog Medals" that are used to access a mini-game.
Characters, monsters and items from all the main Final Fantasy games appear, as well as Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy Type-0, and others. Well known events from previous Final Fantasy titles are occasionally encountered. The game receives updates periodically in the form of "Most Wanted" villains for players to share information about to find and defeat to earn rewards. The first update featured Kefka Palazzo from Final Fantasy VI and the second being Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII.
