Planning for the title began in 2014 after it became clear that the online elements of Agito could not be developed further due to technical difficulties. The game is being overseen by staff from Agito, while the main development is handled by Perfect World, who were chosen due to their good track record for domestic and international online games. First announced at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show, its first beta test opened in mainland China in April 2016.

Gameplay

Final Fantasy Type-0 Online is focused around multiplayer gameplay similar to the multiplayer functions of Final Fantasy Type-0, but with a more evolved system and hack-and-slash style gameplay. The game will use a free-to-play purchase model: while the base game is free, optional items can be purchased by the player for cash.

Synopsis

Type-0 Online takes place in Orience, a world divided between four warring nations. It is referred to as a "parallel world" to that of the original Type-0. Similar to Type-0 and Agito, the world is locked in a repeating spiral of history, with Type-0 Online being an iteration of that history.

Development and release

Planning for Type-0 Online began in November 2014, with full development starting at the beginning of 2015. The game was designed as a successor to Final Fantasy Agito, which had hit insurmountable technical barriers which stopped further development of its online functions. Type-0 Online is being co-developed by Square Enix and Chinese online game developer Perfect World. While Perfect World handled primary development, the original staff of Agito supervised the project. Perfect World was chosen as they had extensive experience with domestic and international online games. After Agito shut down, the development team transferred over to work on Type-0 Online. Over 100 staff at Perfect World were attached to the game's development for more than a year. Development went on for longer than anticipated, although it progressed smoothly when it neared its first open beta. It was built upon the Unity game engine.

It was first hinted with the announcement that Agito was shutting down in November 2015. The company stated that a "reborn" version of Agito would be shown off at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show. The game was announced at that event, along with its release window and that players of Agito would receive an unspecified "favor" if they chose to play Type-0 Online. A beta test was scheduled for Chinese territories in the winter of 2015. The first beta test ended up starting in mid-April 2016. When it was first announced, a localization for Europe and North America was under consideration. At the 2015 AWS Summit Tokyo, the open beta for Japan was announced for June, with releases following in Japan, North America and Europe. Its first playable appearance was at the 2016 ChinaJoy Expo. It was also stated at the event that Perfect World would act as the game's publishers in Asian territories outside Japan. In October 2016, it was announced that the game would be renamed Final Fantasy: The Awakening in China. The game became available for general download in China on December 14, 2016.
