[11/09] Final Fantasy Agito announced for PS Vi- ahahaha, no I'm kidding. It's for iOS and Android.
Who'd have thunk? It seems like the Type-0 saga may have just returned to its original mobile roots! "Final Fantasy Agito" was recently trademarked by Square-Enix, leading to fervent fan speculation that they were readying an enhanced version of Type-0 - or a follow-up game - for the PS Vita or 3DS. However, you know how Square-Enix operates by now, so if you're preparing to preorder a brand new iPhone 5C or 5S after yesterday's Apple conference, you're in for a treat! Final Fantasy Agito is destined for mobile (and presumably tablet) formats.
Final Fantasy Agito is in fact, an alternative reimagining of the events of Final Fantasy Type-0, and is neither a sequel or a prequel. It will feature the return of familiar faces such as Rem, Ace and Jack, albeit with different roles. The latter of which can be seen wearing spectacles. It's an alternative reimagining because presumably you have to pretend that none of the events of Type-0 have happened, and that for these characters, the cruel Fabula Nova Crystallis mythology has something else - and new - in store for them. Joining these returning characters is a fresh face called Myuu Kagerohi (voiced by Haruka Tomatsu).
This being a mobile game, means it will conform to the general practices of mobile game design and the standard business model of in-app purchases. I'll let NeoGAF's duckroll explain:
The main story is divided into chapters that will unlocked biweekly. There will be various player decisions and community voting (the social aspect of it I wager) that can influence how the story evolves as the player progresses through the game. Within those two weeks in between chapter releases, ten days will be set aside for solo play, where players can well, play through missions solo. The remaining four days are for player co-op. Find some other players, get together and defeat bosses as a group. Yay, social!
It is free to play and will have microtransactions. You know, if you ever fall in battle, you could erm, ooh, pay a couple of bucks to be revived? =D
