Along with new character confirmations, the latest issue of Famitsu contains a ton of new Project X Zone details.

A summary of the information can be found below.

– Support Attacks: special attacks from party members
– Use a Support Attack if another unit is in the vicinity (roughly 8 spaces) of your current unit
– Support unit can perform a followup attack which can only be used once in battle
– Cross Hit is comparable to Support Attacks
– During a Support Attack, if the main unit and support unit strike the enemy simultaneously, you’ll trigger a Cross Hit move
– Enemy freezes where the Cross Hit was executed
– More easily perform combos after this happens
– Monolith Soft confirmed as the developer
– Kouji Ishitani and Souichiro Morizumi are “Development Producer”
– Namco Bandai’s Kensuke Tsukanaka is producing
– Cross Active Battle System in the game
– Battles are grid-based
– Enter a battle scene when you attack an enemy on the grid map

– Critical Hits: happens when you send an enemy into the air and connect your next attack before the enemy hits the ground
– Each character can access 2-3 skills
– Level up and you’ll gain additional skills (5-6)

– Encouraged to use as many of your skills as possible
