Square Enix japan has launched a new website for Final Fantasy Type-0 and some new artwork and screens were revealed.

like Final Fantasy Tactics and XII, Type-0 seems like a far more mature title and nothing shows that better than the most recent trailer

The scope of the game is described as flippin' massive, it's so big that it's going to be released on two UMDs. It's even its own self-contained series, within a series. It's just like Inception!

We've all seen the amazing visuals of The 3rd Birthday. It's undoubtedly one of the prettiest games to grace Sony's handheld and I believe it's pretty safe to say Final Fantasy Type-0, led by the same team headed up by Hajime Tabata, will be no different. The trailers already look pretty darn amazing. Both cutscenes and in-game events have an astounding level of visual fidelity that any graphics-maniac can appreciate.

Not only does it look great, the gameplay looks like some good solid action RPG fun. The multiplayer will certainly be interesting to see.

Famitsu and Dengeki magazine have revealed bits and pieces of the battle system, describing it as a healthy combination of Crisis Core and The 3rd Birthday. Combat looks fast paced with the game letting you form a party of three and even switch between them as the situation calls. The magazines also speak of a gauge that builds up as you use abilities, presumably not unlike the Linkage/Crossfire gauge seen in The 3rd Birthday. This will no doubt introduce a level of strategy to the flow of battle. As for multiplayer, it looks like players will be able to hop into a friend's game and help them should they fall in battle. It's pretty exciting just thinking about the possibilities. Unfortunately, while multiplayer will more than likely work like a charm in Japan and Asia, it's too bad that the West does not share the same local multiplayer culture.

Square Enix has plenty of experience with the PSP, the fact that these games are just as good as any other big title on home consoles.

The game is out Summer 2011 in Japan. Hopefully we'll see it by the end of the year over here in the West.
