Throughout their adventure, players will collect, raise and battle adorable beings of classic Final Fantasy lore, including cactuar, chocobo and behemoth, to create customizable, strategic tower combinations to take on the most challenging of opponents."

Square Enix discussed several important details regarding the upcoming game in an interview with Famitsu that was spotted by Gematsu. According to the studio, they are currently doing all the finishing touches on the game to make sure that it will be ready for release in October.

They also revealed that they are making sure that the game will be played carefree by creating a system that can easily help players shift from the dungeon to the town and vice versa anytime they wish.

This can be seen live worldwide on YouTube and Niconico.
