But we can't believe that until you at least show us a source. Anyone can just say he'll use twin swords.

"Two additional characters have been revealed in the latest Shounen Jump magazine named Rem and Machina who wield dual knives and dual swords respectively. Hajime has revealed that there will be 14 playable characters."

[Nerroth]

A separate thread for this game has been long overdue.

Still, better now than never!

& why couldn't you post this in your original post?

[Kafriel]

No axes or crossbows? Oh well, at least there's still a monk to fav

- confirm summon Ifrit, Golem, and Odin. it will be controllable

great plus, summons in FXIII would have been much more effective if they could be controlled.
So, any idea as to what gameplay features this title will possess?

the whole game system is based on crisis core except you will control more than 1 unit and more streamline.

before the mission/battle, you chose the "leader" which is character you gonna to control along with party member.

other than that it supposed to be similar.it will be hub based. you can ride a chocobo or fly an airship.

Indeed. I still wonder why Rem and Machina were not included in the cinematic at the end of that trailer.

New information. Like the other two threads, will copy paste.

* The game will have 12+2 main characters. This means that in addition to the 12 main characters, there will be two characters, Makina and Rem, in a different framework (I'm not sure what that means). These 12+2 characters will be your controllable party.
* You can have up to three characters out in battle simultaneously. Once someone dies, other members will come out to help.
* Until you come to the battle field, you move around the world map and execute a strategy.
* As you play on your own, other players will gradually take part in the battle.
* When you help other players, you earn points.
* In general, your full party heads to the battle field together.

From the sounds of it, this system sounds mighty interesting. Would love some footage to go with his new information.

interesting

* barely see any action rpg game where the magic is main attack
* it seem other player can control character and fight with you. if you dont have any friend you, it will be controlled by AI
* 3 minute? that bit to short. i wonder why
* multiplayer exclusive character?
* standard part system. it will be interest if the game is actually hard that you need 12 character to finish a battle
* there seem strategy element involved. nice mix for a RPG. weather this simply give character a "job" or you able to move character around like resonance of fate. both is still interesting.
* it seem multiplayer aspect is simply "to help/save" other player.

To make the game more difficult I guess. Oftentimes fighting with human brain exceeding AI, games are much more easier. This means we need to choose when is the right time to count on our trusty nakama and when we could just be a lone wolf and fight all the hardships alone.

- it seem battle system have some BBS element
- Rem and Machina are not "main character". they related to story though. it seem you quests fighter in the game. i predict that they die in early section of the game
- hold magic button gives you stronger magic (fire to fira to firaga)
- you can customize magic. (bit like crisis core)
- you can control the summon. just like in ffx but this time you control on real time
- multiplayer aspect seem you can describe as "big damn hero". other player can help but in short amount of time. they helping for short amount of time. seem important when you only have one character left in battle.

i think the game will be hard consider you have 12(14) character and you can loss all of them in single battle
- Development on Type-0 is currently 60% complete

with that said... it looks like the game is going to be even tougher if they remove phoenix down in this game.

[Kafriel]

Is there a single FF w/o phoenix down? :O No cheap phoenix pinions though...

60% complete

Was expecting a bit more, isn't is coming out in summer?
