Final Fantasy Agito Trailer Highlights Battle System

Square Enix’s latest game release, Final Fantasy Agito, is out in Japan for mobile devices today. To celebrate its launch, Square Enix Japan released a trailer on their official YouTube channel showing off the game’s battle system and character creation mechanics.

In a nutshell, the game looks great! It certainly looks like a throwback to older Final Fantasy titles where you could explore a town, talk to NPCs, and engage in classic turn-based combat. It would also appear that Final Fantasy Agito‘s battle system incorporates some action-based elements into its system as well. We see a character firing a gun at surrounding enemies, and it looks a lot like the real-time battle system we saw in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII back on the PSP.

Final Fantasy Agito is currently a Japan-only title and is available for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices. It’s also worth mentioning that while the application itself is free, it does come with in-app purchases too. There is currently no word on the possibility of a localisation. But given that some of the songs from Final Fantasy Type-0 (which is the universe Agito is set in) will be featured in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, I have hopes that this game will see a Western release.

Famitsu also recently released some videos showing off more of Final Fantasy Agito‘s gameplay which you can check out here.
