Those that pre-order Final Fantasy Explorers in Japan are in for a bit of a treat as Square-Enix have announced that the package will come with a download code for the 3DS version of Final Fantasy 1. The download will then surface on the eShop a month later for everyone else to purchase separately, though it’s unknown at the time if this version is based on a previously released port or if it has been enhanced specifically for the console. Additionally, Square-Enix will be releasing a prologue of the game on the day of the full game’s release, which will effectively act as a demo for the game complete with multiplayer, internet features in a similar vein to that of the Bravely Default prologue.

Square Enix has been fielding questions about Final Fantasy Explorers over on Twitter.

When asked if you will be able to change your appearance independent of stats/gear, the company said:

“As far as equipment goes, we’d like to apologize beforehand. There isn’t a system that lets you maintain the same performance while changing your looks alone. In order to be able to change appearance, we’ve prepared a wide variety of armor and weapon types for Final Fantasy Explorers, so it would make us happy to see you folks mix and match to your liking.”

Square Enix also reconfirmed on Twitter that Final Fantasy Explorers will support multiplayer over the Internet, and playing online will be free.

Final Fantasy Explorers director Atsushi Hashimoto and project manager Takahiro Abe shared more details about the game during a live stream event last week. Read on below for a summary of what was revealed (as translated by Siliconera).

– When you’re not in combat and the battle theme isn’t playing, your health will regenerate rapidly
– This means you’ll only need to worry about using potions in battle
-In addition to the Provoke move that comes in handy for managing hate as a tank, they’ll also have the Flash ability
– This will work similarly as the way it does in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
– Can pick between auto-saves and manual saves
– Acquire Abilities at the crystal in the middle of town
– Purchase abilities with CP points earned while going on quests
– You won’t be able to learn too many at once, as Abilities will be something you’ll work on over time
– Regarding Abilities that you can learn from other classes, or cross-class skills, you won’t be able to use every single skill from all the Jobs
– For the most part, you’ll be able to learn them as long as they make sense for your Job in some way
– Ex: Dark Knights will be able to learn various Black Mage spells
– Can have White Mages that don’t really heal as much, instead but specialize in damaging opponents
– Clearing quests takes about 20 minutes on average
– During the fight against Ifrit, the Ranger used her Trance mode, then followed by the “Legend Character” transformation and turned into Cloud, who used a bow instead of his regular Buster Sword
– Trance mode and transforming into a Legendary Character aren’t exactly the same thing
– Trance more is more of a power-up
– In order to go Trance mode, there’s an indicator on the top-left part of the screen that will show you when it will be possible to transform, which happens after defeating a certain amount of enemies
– Game has a system that lets you break parts off boss monsters to acquire material to create gear, or something else
