Development
The idea for Final Fantasy Agito originated with the early origins of Final Fantasy Type-0, meant to be a mobile game called Final Fantasy Agito XIII. Even after the game's platform and name changed, Hajime Tabata liked the 'Agito' title, and decided to return to his original concept, deciding to use the player-choice mechanic the original would have boasted. In an interview, Tabata said he considered Type-0 as the prototype for Agito.

In contrast to the original's dark and brutal story and atmosphere, Agito is intended to be lighter in tone, as reflected in the game's music, although serious dramatic moments would also be incorporated. The first hint of the existence of Final Fantasy Agito came in April 2013, when Square Enix trademarked the name. While this was nothing new in terms of the company's operating procedure, it did cause speculation. The game's official announcement came later when Square Enix released details about the game in the September issue of Famitsu. Those who pre-registered online could get special street clothes to wear, while those who purchased the final volume of Final Fantasy Type-0: Reaper of the Icy Blade acquire a code for outfits inspired by the character Kurasame Susaya.
