Final Fantasy writer’s mobile role-playing game Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey ditches free-to-play

Maybe some Final Fantasy magic can make a mobile Japanese role-playing game a hit.

Kobojo Studio announced that its Japanese role-playing game Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey will launch for iOS devices later this year. It’s going to be a premium title at launch (meaning not free-to-play), and Kobojo will support it with additional, paid content. Final Fantasy writer Kazushige Nojima (Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, and Final Fantasy X) and composer Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII) are working on Zodiac. It was originally designed as a free-to-play game, but changed it to a premium title following feedback.
