Final Fantasy Type-0

Final Fantasy Type-0​ (ファイナルファンタジー 零式, Fainaru Fantajī Reishiki), is a video game for the PlayStation Portable The game was previously known as ''Final Fantasy Agito XIII''​ (ファイナルファンタジー アギトXIII, Fainaru Fantajī Agito Sātīn?); "Agito" is Latin for "to put in motion"[4] (more accurately, "I put in motion"). Hajime Tabata says that he liked the Agito title, but the game didn't have much to do with Final Fantasy XIII. With the name change, they want to develop Type-0 into a series. Even though the game no longer has "XIII" in its title, the game is still part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series. While a release outside of Japan has not been announced, Hajime Tabata is trying to appeal to the North American players in his direction of the game.

The battle system will be similar to that of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII but will make use of the ATB system and allow control of multiple characters.

A compass has also been revealed in recent screenshots. Characters have been shown traversing dungeons of mechanical foes and soldiers. Playable characters alongside the nameless lead (nicknamed "Card-Kun") are shown in the screenshots with rather high HP and low MP costs to their magic spells in their command list. Like in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, names of foes are stated under "Target" on the upper-left-hand side of the screen. A recent article by Weekly Famitsu stated that each of the twelve students will have their own summon that can be swapped out and controlled by the player. The summons can also level up; so far, the only confirmed summons are Ifrit, Golem, and Odin, used by the de facto main character. In the Jan. 2011 trailer, Bahamut was seen in battle during a cutscene and an ice summon was seen skating on the battlefield (thought to be Shiva). In a Famitsu interview, Tabata says that, "it's becoming an intense experience where you do gun shooting with fire." He also added that, "Agito XIII will not have the standard multiplayer style of everyone gathering together to play. It will be a multiplayer system unique to this game."

The decision to create "Final Fantasy Type-0", also known as Final Fantasy Agito XIII was made after the other two Final Fantasy XIII games had already been decided upon, and was made in response to the popularity of the mobile phone game Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII. It was then decided to make it exclusive to mobile phones. Unveiled at E3 '06, the game "[offered] players easy on-the-go access to the Final Fantasy XIII universe. Utilizing gameplay functions only available through mobile phones, it was supposed to provide players with a unique take on a story accessible anywhere their real-life adventures may take them." Developers had been planning a release on the next generation of cell phones as phones available at the time could not offer all the capabilities they would need. An issue developers had grappled with was whether or not to make the command buttons used in the game visible. The game was in development with the idea of making it a "full-fledged numbered game". However, on August 2, 2008, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy Agito XIII will be released on the Sony PlayStation Portable platform, with development of the mobile phone version discontinued. On January 18, 2011 the game made its first official public re-appearance at the Square Enix 1st Production Department Premier in Tokyo, Japan where it was announced that the name would be changed from Final Fantasy Agito XIII to Final Fantasy Type-0 along with a new trailer that would be released to the public on January 27, 2011. The name Type-0 was actually trademarked by Square Enix in Europe on December 29, 2010 along with a logo. The game will also be the second (and last) game on PSP to use multiple UMD discs, with the first being Sora no Kiseki.
