In addition to being able to call other players for backup, you can also take pictures with your phone's camera and get certain items depending on what you photographed; for example, taking a picture of a white sheet of paper may get you, say, a Cure spell.

It'd be great if you could only get certain items by photographing things that are one of a kind or hard to find in real life, like a wild animal or a national monument.

There's no way this game is going to be put onto a format like the GBA with these kinds of features intact. Apparently that particular model of phone that supports Before Crisis is being brought to the States, though, so we may still get it.
