Final Fantasy Agito XIII (ファイナルファンタジーアギトXIII, Fainaru Fantajī Agito Sātīn^?) is a video game for mobile phones which, alongside Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, makes up the compilation Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII so far. Unveiled at E³ '06, the game "[offers] players easy on-the-go access to the FINAL FANTASY XIII universe. Utilizing gameplay functions only available through mobile phones, this title provides players with a unique take on a story accessible anywhere their real-life adventures may take them." [1]

The game is set in a magic school named Akademia, [2] and will gradually expand to the larger world outside of the school. It is described as an online RPG, but not "massively multiplayer". [3] "Agito" in Latin roughly means "to engage in motion" (and is also the root from which the English "agitate" is derived).

[edit] Characters

An unnamed character who uses the deck of cards as his weapon.

There are thirteen characters revealed, 12 of whom appear to be students. Weapons include longsword, katana, handguns, a shotgun, a mace, a bow and arrow, a spear, a scythe, an extending flail, bare fists, a flute and a deck of tarot cards. The thirteenth character is a Moogle used in previous Final Fantasy games. The character with the deck of cards has been revealed to have a greater importance than the other characters (shown in a pamphlet at the 2006 Tokyo Game Show).
