The news die-hard FINAL FANTASY fans have been waiting for has finally landed. FINAL FANTASY Type-0 and its mobile successor, FINAL FANTASY Agito, have been confirmed for release outside of Japan! Originally released in Japan back in 2011, FINAL FANTASY Type-0 is a title that western fans have long been clamouring for. Even going so far as unofficially translating the game. SQUARE ENIX have finally bowed to demand, likely due to the surprise success of Bravely Default and the impressive sales of FINAL FANTASY X|X-2 HD Remaster.

FINAL FANTASY Type-0 takes place in a world known as Orience, which is divided into four nations known as the Dominion of Rubrum, the Milites Empire, the Lorican Alliance, and the Kingdom of Conorcdia. Each of the four nations is blessed with a crystal that grants them unique powers: Rubrum controls the power of magic, Milities controls the power of weapons, Lorica controls the power of the shield and Concorida controls the power of the Dragon. These four nations coexisted peacefully under the Pax Codex until Cid Aulstyne, High Commander of the Milites Empire, broke the peace treaty by staging an invasion of, and subsequently conquering, the nations of Lorica and Concordia. Rubrum stood tall in resistance due to its magical defenses. Hoping to force Rubrum into surrender, Cid stages an attack on Rubrum's Magic Academy, Peristylium Suzaku. It falls down to the students of Class Zero, to organise and execute Operation Apostyle, a desperate covert mission to defeat the Milites forces.

Type-0 will be releasing on both XBOX One and PlayStation 4.

FINAL FANTASY Agito is a game set in the same world of Orience, during a previous cycle of war - although this has not officially been described as a prequel. Players will create their own character who is a student of the Peristylium Suzaku and will join forces with characters. The story is a dynamic one that will develop over time, based on the choices all the players of the game make.

Agito will be releasing on iOS/Android devices and will feature a freemium model. Early reports from Japan suggest that the vast majority of progress in the game does not require monetary investment, with real money generally being used to pay for additional consumables etc. A break from SQUARE ENIX's previous freemium offerings.

More news is bound to be released as E3 progresses, so stay tuned!
