This is the name of the brand new IP of Luminous Production of Square Enix.
According to information I got from an insider very close to the marketing department of the Square Enix company, he has several important games to announce during the Summer Game Fest.
And among these important announcements there are also Final Fantasy XVI, and the new IP of Luminous Studios Crimson Arbitrium - Agni's Anthology.
Crimson Arbitrium - Agni's Anthology is an action JRPG game, settled into a huge openworld developed with the Luminous Engine.
The combat system is designed to place greater emphasis on elemental spells, and how they can be modified by the main character in the environment, transforming them into barriers or long-distance projectiles, and with a significant impact in the environments in which they are left. The spells can also change the appearance and the ability of the weapons equipped, and of the equipments too, giving different power up and changing some of the abilities.
The games that inspired the developers in creating this game were: Final Fantasy - The 4 Heroes of Light, and Parasite Eve.
The game is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X and PC, it does not yet have a final launch date, but has a launch window set for the fiscal year 2022.
Like I said, it's weak, it's 4chan but we'll see. A timed FF16 to PS5 would be huge though.
