Dengeki's Final Fantasy Type-0 (formerly Agito XIII) report this week spans four pages along with a one page interview with Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama.

Here's a bit of what's leaked out from the interview:

The keyword for the battle system is "Magic in Action." While you have weapons, magic is main.
A main concept is "It's not necessary for everyone to gather." The game has a multiplayer system that can be enjoyed by solo players too.
You can join other players' games for three minutes. While you can extend this, Type-0 is not the type of game where you play together with other players continuously.
The game will have 12+2 main characters. This means that in addition to the 12 main characters, there will be two characters, Makina and Rem, in a different framework (I'm not sure what that means). These 12+2 characters will be your controllable party.
You can have up to three characters out in battle simultaneously. Once someone dies, other members will come out to help.
Until you come to the battle field, you move around the world map and execute a strategy.
As you play on your own, other players will gradually take part in the battle.
When you help other players, you earn points.
In general, your full party heads to the battle field together.
The actual interview and article are hopefully a bit clearer about the battle system than the message board summary off which the above is based.

This game must be made by Square Enix.


All the other stuff sounds interesting. Odd sounding multiplayer system.

If I am to be honest, there is way too much multiplayer involved both here and in Dissidia, and that is a shame for someone like me who doesn't know ANYONE who would play those games, *sigh*.

maybe the multiplayer in this won't be strictly ad hoc? I really hope it's not because then it's a waste of multiplayer capabilities when I know no one irl who would play this game

from what I understand, the different framework might be kind of like Brotherhood: one story for the one player, another story for the multiplayer

Thanks! Every time I watch that trailer I keep convincing myself that Agito will be quite awesome, indeed (as long as the multiplayer issue is not a game-breaker).

I'm in the same boat. I barely know anyone who owns a PSP, besides myself. But the game looks cool, I'd definitely love to know more about it. S-E definitely knows that trick to giving out just enough info to keep people interested without revealing much at all. Damn them :P

Anyone know who's composing the music for this game? I was very pleased to hear some good ol' Nobuo Prelude in the first half of the trailer. While I really liked the soundtrack for XIII, I missed some of those classic FF tunes, so it's nice to see that they might be making a reappearance.

Ah yes, he did Crisis Core as well. I'm perfectly happy with him composing, it's just nice to see some homage to the classic tunes.

Yeah I thought he did a pretty good job in CC. I loved all his remixes of original FF7 songs especially. I think he'll do this game justice.

Famitsu interview
The title has been rebooted which is part of the reason the name has been changed to Type-0. It’s also to make it independent from the rest of the XIII games. Type-0 was chosen to signify the beginning of what they consider to be a new series. Although they can’t confirm Type-0 may receive its own sequels, they want to raise the importance of the title. The new logo’s hand written kanji is actually written by the same person who wrote the kanji for the Shinra logo in FFVII. The word “Agito” still has relevance though as it is used in the games world to define a “messiah” or “saviour”. The word “Finis” is also mentioned in the trailer which refers to “destruction” or “chaos”.

Machina and Rem who were revealed in the latest piece of artwork are the protagonists companions. They will be the most important characters in the story but the majority of the game will be played with the 12 “trainees” which you also take control of in the game. You’ll be limited to using three of these characters in battle at once. However, if one of those characters dies in battle, they will be automatically replaced with one of the remaining characters on standby.

Multiplayer allows another player to jump in and help someone during battle. The other player will only be allowed 3 minutes to intervene though and once that time is up, they’re kicked out of the battle. Depending on how well the player helps the host in those 3 minutes, will determine what kind of bonus they’ll receive.

The game will include an experience point system as well as enhanced abilities being learnt when levelling and accessories which can be equipped. There will also be a customisable magic system allowing the player to use it more strategically e.g. Using Fire for longer period causing low damage or for a shorter period with high damage. Stronger magic of the same type (Fire, Fira, Firaga) no longer exists but the basic magic becomes stronger with more use. Summons make an appearance again but they will have a time limit.

Concerning development, the game is approximately 60% complete and will span two UMDs to allow them to avoid cutting out any content. They plan to polish the title until the last minute before release this summer.

I've said this several times but this reminds me so much of Dragon Age in terms of adding people to your party, swapping members out and especially THE LIBERAL USE OF BLOOD

that being said I can't wait to play it and holy crap two UMDs

For a FF title, this game looks pretty dark. They're not going all out with the voilence, but they're not holding back the blood either. I like it.

Ooo. I do love me some renders and wallpapers. I won't use either, but they are always nice to look at. And look, peoples: Somewhat functional clothing and weaponry.
