Final Fantasy Artniks Dive is a new free-to-play RPG designed for mobile

Square Enix is partnering with social networking company Gree to publish Final Fantasy Artniks Dive, a new free-to-play mobile role-playing game set in the Final Fantasy universe, Gree announced today.

Final Fantasy Artniks Dive — which is slated to launch later this summer on Android and iOS — resembles the older, 2D Final Fantasy titles. Players will roam large open maps searching for materials, explore dungeons and fight monsters in turn-based battles.

The game will feature a new original cast of characters that can specialize in any of the franchise's classic job classes, weapon crafting and more than 100 monsters to summon. Players can also find in-game collectable card sets featuring characters from other Final Fantasy games, including the Warrior of Light from the original Final Fantasy, Firion from Final Fantasy 2 and Lightning from Final Fantasy 13.

Final Fantasy Artniks Dive pre-registration is open today for Japanese players. There is currently no word if the title is slated to come West.
