Akademeia is the capital of the Dominion of Rubrum in Final Fantasy Type-0 and Final Fantasy Agito. It is the place of the Vermilion Peristylium that houses the Vermilion Bird Crystal and primarily serves as an academy for training Agito Cadets. It is located on an island connected to the mainland by a bridge and serves as the home base for Class Zero, the Consortium of Eight, and the Dominion's leader, Chancellor Khalia Chival VI.

Rubicus[]

Gel. XIII, 1 RG The Vermilion Dawn

The oldest exact verse of scripture in Akademeia is perhaps the most open to interpretation: "Unto Orience came the Crystal of the Vermilion Bird, to guide the children of Rubrum and bestow the great task upon them." The "great task" referred to herein is commonly understood to mean the creation of Agito, and it is to that end that Akademeia was established.

The grand halls we know now were initially naught but a single schoolhouse, a quiet sanctuary where a few cadets might bask in the light of the Crystal as they sought enlightenment. Yet as the teachings of the first chancellor spread, so did the size of that humble schoolhouse.

By the year 100, the use of magic had become so prevalent that Akademeia was now responsible for both research and enrichment. Attack spells, which fell monsters and destroy obstacles, as well as defense spells, which heal the wounded, would be analyzed and reformulated day and night. This could then be taught to individuals enrolled as Agito Cadets who sought to actualize their full magic potential, thereby forming the basis of the Akademeia we have come to know. How a simple, cryptic verse could alter the course of so many lives is indeed nothing short of remarkable.

Aqu. XII The Structure of Akademeia

Established to bring the legendary savior Agito into the world, Akademeia was organized into an educational facility for potential candidates known as Agito Cadets. The students were divided into thirteen core units, known as "classes," from the newly formed Class Zero on to Class Twelfth. In addition, Akademeia housed a reserve class of trainees, students who had not fulfilled the requirements to be promoted to cadet. The Sorcery, Scholastics and Logistics Divisions, along with Administration and Armory, were formed to train, support, and educate the student body.

The dominion legions originally existed for the purpose of these fledgling cadets, but with Orience constantly at war, the military branch of Akademeia tended to have considerable influence in administrative matters. Mobilization, arms production and deployment of soldiers were crucial components of the country's infrastructure—and with all those aspects under his command, the commandant enjoyed more authority than the Chancellor of Akademeia in regard to national administration.

This political structure coincided with both the Akademeia administration's desire to devote themselves to cultivating Agito, and Central Command's wish to manage the military without interference. As long as the war did not escalate, the country ran smoothly. The war did escalate, however, and Akademeia was drawn into the fray. With the cadets now assigned to its charge, the military's authority increased even further, and the balance of power was reversed as Akademeia was slowly subsumed as a part of the dominion legions.

Final Fantasy Type-0[]

Akademeia precedes the formation of Dominion of Rubrum. The school was formed around the Vermilion Peristylium to train cadets to become Agito, the fabled savior of Orience, as per the wish of the Vermilion Bird Crystal, but the academy grew over time. When monsters attacked Akademeia and the onslaught was only quelled by the Vermilion Bird l'Cie, the previously loosely affiliated states of Rubrum, Togoreth, Iscah and Eibon unified to form the Dominion of Rubrum with Akademeia as its seat of power to protect the Crystal.

The Vermilion Bird Crystal blessed its citizens with the ability to use magic, the gift passed down by Agito Cadets and cadets-turned-instructors propagating the Will of the Crystal. Once the four Crystal-States had been established, the dominion government followed the example set by the other nations to promote and oversee the blessings of their Crystal, as the denizens of Orience now needed to fear each other as Rubrum had learned from the war with the Kingdom of Dracobaltia. When news of the Lorican-Militesi War reached Rubrum, the dominion government decided to strengthen its magic faculties to prepare against a potential assault, and Akademeia's Sorcery Division was founded in 297 as an instance responsible for all magic matters.

FFT0 Akademeia under attack

Akademeia under attack.

In 842 Akademeia is attacked by the Militesi Empire after they break the Pax Codex by deploying a l'Cie and initiate a war, and the dominion recalls all legionaries to defend the capital leaving the rest of the dominion defenseless. The empire disables the Vermilion Bird Crystal via their crystal jammer and thus nullifies Akademeia's magic barrier. Cadets who would later be known as Class Zero are deployed to take it down. Ace requests a dominion legionary named Izana Kunagiri be deployed to deliver his team a COMM, but Izana and his chocobo Chichiri fall in battle. Ace finds the duo before they perish but it is too late to save Izana, so Ace only takes Izana's Knowing Tag and the COMM. His memories of Izana are removed by the Vermilion Bird Crystal.

With aid from their informants via the communicator, Ace and his fellow cadets infiltrate the Militesi flagship that had docked on the Akademeia Airship Landing and disable the first crystal jammer. Machina Kunagiri and Rem Tokimiya, Agito Cadets of other classes of Akademeia, face off against Qun'mi Tru'e, the White Tiger Secundus l'Cie, at the Arena, but the crystal jammer in her magitek armor, the Dáinsleif, renders the two powerless. Ace and his friends arrive to help, and to Qun'mi's surprise summon the Eidolon Odin. Qun'mi is defeated and teleports to safety as her magitek armor and the crystal jammer within explode. As the power of the Vermilion Bird Crystal returns, Rubrum forces drive the imperials out of Akademeia as the Militesi General Qator Bashtar receives word a Vermilion Bird l'Cie is on the move and issues a withdrawal order.

Since the foundation of Akademeia, cadets and trainees alike had only participated in drills and other wartime activities as part of their training to become Agito, a legendary savior said to appear during Tempus Finis, the end of the world. They had never engaged in combat for the purpose of achieving military goals, or at least not in an official capacity. The commandant, Suzuhisa Higato, places the cadets under military command with the chancellor declaring the dominion—and, by association, the peristylium—to be in a state of emergency. With the Consortium of Eight's approval, the cadets are organized into military units.

FF Type-0 HD Class Zero

Class Zero, Akademeia's new premier class of Agito Cadets.

The cadets who could withstand the crystal jammer are a special group tutored by Archsorceress Arecia Al-Rashia, one of the most influential people in Orience. Impressed by their prowess, the administration enrolls them to the academy under the name Class Zero to start deploying them on missions to retake the territories lost to Milites. As Ace is heading to the Class Zero homeroom he runs into Arecia who tells him the class is to get two new recruits, Machina and Rem, but as they are different from the other members, she warns him of telling the two of the true nature of phantoma, the mystical life energy of all living beings the class harvests from felled foes that allows them to use magic independent of the Vermilion Bird Crystal. The Sorcery Division of Akademeia researches magic and phantoma but knowledge of this substance is classified.

Machina learns his brother died in the capital liberation and investigates why he was deployed, but the records are confidential. After Class Zero helps Rubrum retake the Rubrum Region from the empire, Ace overhears Arecia arguing with the commandant over Izana's deployment and how Ace had asked for him, but is unable to tell of this to Machina. The cadets are deployed to help reclaim Togoreth Stronghold and to secure classified documents on phantoma research in a top secret Code Crimson mission, but the entire area is obliterated when the White Tiger l'Cie Primus Nimbus appears and the Vermilion Bird Crystal deploys its own Primus l'Cie, Zhuyu Voghfau Byot, to intercept him. Though given a withdrawal order, many cadets perish.

FFT0-ConsortiumOfEight-Cinematic

the Consortium of Eight.

With Togoreth lost Rubrum sets out to reclaim Iscah and to sabotage the empire's magitek armor research in the Steelworks facility near their capital of Ingram. A ceasefire is called when Queen Andoria of the Kingdom of Concordia invokes the Fabula Pact, but it is shortlived as she is assassinated and her successor, the King of Concordia, allies with the empire for the dominion's supposed betrayal, as the regicide is pinned on Class Zero. Akademeia is in turmoil as wild rumors circulate of the Class Zero cadets and the consortium doesn't publicly defend them, as a rift has widened between its members: the cadetmaster, the provost and the commandant scheme to usurp Arecia, the consortium's most influential member. Thus, her adoptive children, Class Zero, also lose favor. The commandant plans to send Class Zero's commanding officer, Kurasame Susaya, as well as the class members themselves, to the front lines in the upcoming battle against joint Militesi-Concordian forces, expecting them to perish.

Central Command prepares for the upcoming showdown with a plan is to send Class Zero with Lord Zhuyu to fight off the Concordian dragons with an airship fleet, and the rest of Rubrum's legionaries, as well as Akademeia's cadets and trainees, to the Militesi border for Vermilion Bird Secundus l'Cie Lady Caetuna to summon a Verboten Eidolon. Trainees have never been sent to war before, and two l'Cie taking part in Rubrum's military operations simultaneously is unheard of. Many see these as signs of the dominion's desperation.

FFT0 Rursus Akademiea

The Rursus besiege Akademeia.

Caetuna's Alexander demolishes the Militesi forces turning the tide of battle to Rubrum's favor. The dominion conquers Concordia and soon after the Milites Empire falls as well, and Orience is united under the Vermilion Bird banner. As Class Zero returns to Akademeia from the battle of Ingram they find its cadets and legionaries slain and the dominion commanders gone: Tempus Finis has begun and the Rursus Army has invaded Akademeia, Lord Zhuyu having fallen to them as well.

Other cadets reveal the once Code Crimson missions, which Class Zero partook, making the remaining cadets turn against them, blaming them for the ensuing apocalypse. Rem succumbs to her illness and falls into a coma, and she is taken to Arecia's office but the prognosis doesn't look favorable. Of the Consortium of Eight only Arecia remains, who tells the cadets they have lived their lives according to the Will of Crystals recorded in the Akashic Records, but now that "souls have been released" they can write their own ending, as humans have the power to decide how they live or die, hinting at a vital decision the cadets would soon need to make.

FFT0 Celestia Finis

Celestia arrives in Akademeia.

The cadets learn that Militesi Marshal Cid Aulstyne has headed to Pandæmonium, the Land of Judgement that rises from the ocean when Tempus Finis starts, said to be the place where the Judge decides on Orience's fate: if there is no Agito, the world will be destroyed. Despite knowing that without Arecia they cannot be revived if they fall in battle, the cadets endeavor to follow and speak with the Judge. Celestia, the Azure Dragon Secundus l'Cie, arrives at Akademeia offering to take the class to Pandæmonium, as the Vermilion Bird has no l'Cie left.

After the cadets depart the Vermilion Bird Crystal asks them to become its l'Cie, but the class turns down the offer. The Crystal brands Rem, still slumped in Arecia's office, in their stead, and sends her to Pandæmonium to intercept a White Tiger l'Cie it had sensed there, wanting one of its own l'Cie to become Agito. Rem sublimates alongside the White Tiger l'Cie, but Class Zero prevails against the Rursan Arbiter as mortals despite having been deemed unfit to be Agito. After the battle the dying cadets are teleported back to their old classroom, which they find in ruins.

DeadClassZero

Machina and Rem find their classmates perished in the ruined Akademeia.

Arecia learns from the class members' souls they do not want to be revived for another spira, and, heeding their wish, departs from Orience forever after releasing Machina and Rem from crystal stasis and sending them back to Akademeia. Machina and Rem find their classmates dead, and mourn for the loss of those close to them for the first time in their life, realizing their memories of the cadets have not been erased; as Arecia departs from Orience the light of the Crystals dims and mankind is allowed to remember the dead, Orience entering a new era where mankind must learn to cope without reliance on the Crystals power. What becomes of Rubrum and Akademeia in this new era is unknown, as without the Vermilion Bird Crystal it is likely people can no longer wield magic.

Tasks[]

Tasks are requests from clients to fulfill a specific objective, such as procuring items or defeating a number of enemies, to claim a reward.

The player can randomly encounter it while exploring certain areas of Akademeia. These areas include: Terrace, Chocobo Ranch, Back Garden and the Airship Landing.

Agito Cadets[]

Agito Cadets are trained in the use of magic as per the wish of the Vermilion Bird Crystal, whose peristylium the cadets are sworn to serve and the Crystal chooses its l'Cie from their ranks. The Crystal's goal is that come Tempus Finis, its l'Cie would enter the Land of Judgment and become Agito, saving Orience.

People associated with Akademeia[]

Musical themes[]

Several themes are played in Akademeia. The first and most prominent is "Crystal Guide Us" (クリスタルの加護, Kurisutaru no Kago?), which is a variation of the "Prelude", the iconic theme familiar from the series. "Peaceful Times" (静謐な時間, Seihitsu na Jikan?) plays after several storyline missions are completed, and eventually becomes the main background theme midway through the story. The third background theme is "Battle - Recapture Strategy" (戦-奪還作戦, Ikusa - Dakkan Sakusen?), which plays midway through Chapter 7.

Behind the scenes[]

Art Director Yusuke Naora journeyed to a remote island off the coast of Japan that took over half a day of traveling to get there. While on the island he caught a fish, but realized he feared the open ocean. This formed the basis for his inspiration for the island home to Akademeia. The wrecked airship off the coast of the island is inspired by Naora's fear of the sea.[1]

The nature of the surprise attack on Akademeia draws upon many of the raids and assaults carried out by aircraft in World War II, notably to that of Nazi Germany's attacks on London, the Imperial Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor, and to the United States' firebombing of Tokyo.

Etymology[]

Akademeia is an alternate Latin transcription of the word "Ἑκαδήμεια", "Academia". The word "Academia" comes from the academy in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, Akademos.

The word academia designates the community of students and scholars engaged in higher education and research.
