Final Fantasy Type-0

Square-Enix's Final Fantasy Type-0, previously announced as Final Fantasy Agito XIII, has had its Japanese release date announced as October 13. The online, non-MMO, originally slated for a summer release, had its development slowed by the PSN outage earlier this year, with Square-Enix asking players to “wait until the season of red leaves” for the title. The officially-announced release date brings with it a new trailer with music by Bump of Chicken, one of the biggest rock bands in Japan. You can see (and follow, if you speak Japanese) all five minutes of the clip after the jump...

New Final Fantasy entry, Final Fantasy Type-0 will be featured in the July 7th issue of Famitsu magazine. The game has been confirmed for a US release. The game was originally a mobile title under the name, Final Fantasy Agito XII, but will now be released on the PSP. It will be the first title to use 2 UMDs.

One of the most anticipated games for the year 2011

We’ve been pretty excited about Final Fantasy XIII-2 at the old GR corral since it was revealed earlier this week. The only downside was the game was revealed at a Japanese event and many of us just don’t understand the language, so all we could do was look at the pretty pictures. But no more! Square-Enix UK just released an English Language version of the trailer...

The Square Enix 1st Production Department Premiere had some interesting visuals and information other than the feasted trailers of VersusXIII and XIII Type-0. Square-Enix delighted the audience with a terse review of the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythology that I believe was introduced in text document on the Japanese FFXIII website. For those of you who are interested in the mythology behind the Fabula Nova Crystallis: here's a quick translation of the curtail summary found off of the famitsu website. I think the summary sheds a lot of insight into the VersusXIII trailer and the character's interest with the painting of the goddess Muin and of course the subterranean intricacies of plot in Final Fantasy XIII. If you can't read Japanese, read the translation below. :) -The world is governed by the god Buniberuze. -He defeated the mother goddess, Muin, and therefore, the world fell into his hands. -With Muin's defeat, she became unable to see the world and created the invisible world. Consequently, Buniberuze became anguished due to her actions. -Because the world is finite, a horrible destiny exists. Buniberuze believed this curse was caused by Muin and therefore, thought it fit to defeat Muin to lift the curse. -In order to reach Muin in the invisible world, Buniberuze created Fal'cie, the first being Pulse to search for the entrance into the invisible world. Pulse's mission was to cut the earth and find the door. Buniberuze then created the Fal'cie Etro. Buniberuze made the mistake by making Etro look familiar to Muin. Fearing its form, Buniberuze did not grant Etro any powers. -Instead, it created the Fal'cie, Linse. Linse's mission was to solely protect Buniberuze and to enter crystal stasis when the right time presented itself [but this is not explained fully]. -Pulse decided to creat...

Scrawl: Final Fantasy XIII-2, announced this morning, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and Final Fantasy Type-0 (formerly known as Final Fantasy Agito XIII) star in the latest issue of Jump.

UFFSite Writes: Japanese Final Fantasy fansite FF Reunion appears to be suggesting that there'll be seven games total at tomorrow's 1st Production Department Premiere Event - three of them new, and one of those new titles a new game in the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII series of games. In the posting on their site, FF Reunion announces that they'll be covering the event via updates on Twitter. The event takes place from 6pm Japanese time - around 9 hours from now. After that, they list the titles to appear at the show under two separate headings. The first heading, Fabula Nova Crystallis Related, lists Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII, already confirmed for the event by multiple sources and a third, mystery game marked with a question mark. Based on the events of the past week, this could well be the Final Fantasy XIII-2 which Square Enix just registered their first web address for last week. Meanwhile the second heading for...

Andriasang writes: Square Enix has opened up registration for January's 1st Production Department Premier event, an event that was formerly known as the Fabula Nova Crystallis Conference. Members of the Square Enix Members fan site are able to put their names down to attend the event, which takes place on the evening of January 18 at the Toho Cinemas in Roppongi. Only 300 will be invited across the event's two showings (one at 18:00 and one at 20:00).

In a great interview made by the french website FINAL FANTASY DREAM, Shinji Hashimoto (Producer of Fabula Nova Crystallis), revealed that Haeresis XIII isn't a project at all. See more information on the website, with an interview video.

Andriasang: There won't be an exhibit related to Fabula Nova Crystallis at the event, Nomura wrote.... If you take Nomura's comments at face value, it looks like Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII are out for Jump.
