Los Angeles. CA - January 12, 2010 - Gamepot (USA), Inc, the U.S.
publishing division of Japanese gaming behemoth Gamepot, Inc., will soon unleash
one of the most anticipated free-to-play online games on North American gamers:
Fantasy Earth Zero (FEZ). This massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG)
from Square Enix Co., Ltd., the creators of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest,
two of the world's most well-respected video game franchises in history, will
make its way to North America for the first time with its launch early this
year. Combining the respected pedigree of Square Enix with the Gamepot (USA)
promise of high-quality free-to-play games, FEZ aims to be one of the top online
entertainment experiences of 2010, providing fans of Square Enix - and of all
MMOROPGs in general - a chance to step into a world fueled by exhilarating
combat, absolutely free of charge.
Fantasy Earth Zero boasts a vast game world that puts epic warfare directly in
the hands of the players, emphasizing bristling battle systems, loyalty to
friends and defending the player's country against all threats. FEZ combines
fast-paced action and RPG elements in a player vs. player vs. environment (PvPvE)
world.
"Imagine a world of perpetual warfare, legions of unique classes, and a
Hyper-Active Battle System ---Think the best scenes in Gladiator or Braveheart,
with the action ratcheted up to 20," said Thomas Lee, senior director of
business and marketing, Gamepot (USA), Inc. "It's quite unlike any MMORPG
available - our 50 vs. 50 PvP system is pure, pulse-pounding excitement. And
now, for the first time ever, North American players can step into a world from
the creators of so many high-quality RPGs,completely for free."
In Fantasy Earth Zero, an era of peace ironically brings about war, which causes
trivial disputes of the past to evolve into full-blown battles, throwing the
world of Melpharia into chaos. Kingdoms are created and destroyed over the years
while their inhabitants fight for control of powerful crystals spread throughout
the land. These crystals are the origins of everything in the world and their
power can be used for transformations, healing, and more, making them
invaluable.
Fantasy Earth Zero features three distinct classes to choose from, five unique
kingdoms vying for a player's allegiance, immersive quests, a stunning
soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakamoto (Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 12), the
pulse-pounding excitement of 50 vs. 50 PvP and a nearly endless array of
character customization options, making it one of the most robust and
anticipated free-to-play MMO games of 2010.
