Final Fantasy Agito XIII Update

After what we learned from the latest Final Fantasy XIII updates from Famitsu, it's time for another update for Final Fantasy XIII Agito. Tetsuya Nomura and Agito director Hajime Tabata spoke to Famitsu's editor recently. They said that a PSP version of the game was always in the planning right from the start. The announcement at the Square Enix party not so long ago was just an announcement that the PSP version has taken priority over the mobile version. The two addresses a few strong elements of the game. The newest trailer made mention of "Lucy", a word that has been mentioned in connection with other areas of the Fabula Nova Crystallis project. As explained by Nomura, this is one of the common points players will find connecting the worlds of the various FFXIII games.
Another term mentioned in the new trailer is PAX CODEX. This is the name of a peace treaty that exists in the Agito world. As Tabata explained, Cid, from a neighbouring country has broken the treaty and sent a Lucy out in an invasion. Tabata revealed that the Agito battle system will offer a mix of action and turn based gameplay similar to Crisis Core. He suggested players to picture a more developed version of the super high speed Active Time Battle system from Crisis Core. But different from Crisis Core whose battles were solo based, Agito has party based battles. The party based battles currently support infrastructure mode. Three players can currently form a party over the net. But Tabata said that he can not confirm yet if the final game will have infrastructure mode support, but this is something that Square Enix would like to offer to players. Plans call for giving players the ability to raise summon beasts and control them in battle.
All of this new tidbits just make me more excited about the game.
