Square Enix released another batch of battle screenshots from Final Fantasy Type-0. Instead of Rem, Machina or one of the card named characters (that’s not a joke party members in Final Fantasy Type-0 are named after a deck of playing cards) one screenshot shows a player in control of Ifrit. The Eidolon has a set of flame attacks and what appears to be a time limit above the command list.

Other battle screenshots show Queen running away from a Snow Giant and Eight kicking some soldiers. He’s equipped with a Power Knuckle, perhaps making him the martial artist out of the core group of hereos.

STORY

Type-0 is set in a world of four countries, listed in the game's Wikipedia entry as Milites, Rubrum, Anaze, and Kogai. Crystals serve as the power and energy source for the countries. Each country protects their crystal in a "Peristerium," a magic academy.

The story begins when the Milites Empire invades Rubrum. Their ultimate goal is the crystal in Rubrum's Peristerium. They plan to use their new weapon, the "Crystal Jammer," to make the crystal powerless, leaving Rebrum vulnerable.

Students at the Rebrum Peristerium band together to defeat the invaders. These are the characters you control.

The Milites Empire has developed a mechanized civilization. Its troops equip not just guns, but warships and mecha as well. Rubrum, on the other hand, is a country of magic and summon beasts. The Rebrum students face off against he imperial army and its mecha through magic and summons.

The Rebrum Peristerium can be considered the equivalent of both a city and a base of operations, according to Tabata. You get your orders from the Peristerium. Once you've gotten your orders from the academy, you select the place you'd like to go from the world map, and the mission starts once you've arrive.

At a broader, Fabula Nova Crystallis mythology level, Type-0 places the focus on mankind, born from the blood of the goddess Etro. It's a "war chronicle drama" that shows how the gods are part of people's lives, and how this is seen in the eyes of history.

The game's Wikipedia entry lists some of the names as Cinque, Seven, Trey, Eight, Nine, Jack and Queen (some of these names can be seen in the screenshots in Famitsu).

There are two other principal characters: Rem and Machina. They're shown in the new image artwork (shown below). While Rem and Machina are not considered "main characters" as far as the game goes, from a historical perspective, they will be viewed as the story's main characters. During the game, they will fight alongside the main characters and will be party members (screenshots seem to confirm that this means they'll be playable).

This game sounds sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Goooooooooooooooooooooood! :D

I hate when a thread gets no replies

game looks good

i would love they dropped the name eidolons. GF from ff8 has been the best name for summons imo. i agree the game looks awesome if it is anything like ff crisis core . it'll turn out great

i dont know how i feel about controlling the summon but it is gonna rock.

I would love to control Bahamut.

Controlling summons isn't exactly new. The story sounds pretty cool, great premise at least, but the names are stupid. Even though that wouldn't hold me back from getting the game, they're still bad names. I hope you can change them, or I hope they change the names.
