Square Enix have revealed new details, screenshots, and a new trailer for Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy!

Featured above, you can view a new trailer showing off more of the upcoming Final Fantasy spinoff game.

A bevy of new details were confirmed (via 4Gamer) for the game. You can get a full rundown below:

• The game is a remake of Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon. The plot focuses on inventor Cid and his Chocobo friend ending up in the town Lostime within the island of Memoria while searching for the Timeless Power gem. The inhabitants seem to be cursed to lose their memories, until Chocobo (with the help of strange boy who feel from the sky called Raffaello) enters dungeons made of memories to help get them back.
• Along with Cid and Raffaello, Chocobo also makes friends with kindly Shirma who seeks to help the town recover, and the moogle Dungeon Hero X.
• Much like other dungeon crawlers of a similar look, when the player performs an action, all monsters take an action straight after. When you step forward, so do they. This can lead to you walking right into their attacks.
• Chocobo can learn new jobs from memories (dungeons) and change its job at a dungeon entrance. The more a job levels up, the better its stats are and the more abilities that are unlocked.
  • Knight has high HP and Defense. It can use Power Slash to knock foes back.
  • Black Mage can deal high damage in an instant with spells like Fire, Ice, and Thunder.
  • The Alpha class from Final Fantasy XIV can also be used. An all-rounder who can attack and support. At max level it learns the Mysterious Card ability that can produce random effects.
• The game will feature new challenging dungeons like “Narrow Dimension” and “Bottomless Desire”. In addition a dungeon based on the raid dungeon “The Bend of Time: Omega” from Final Fantasy XIV will also appear.
• The Buddy System is new to the remake. When you defeat monsters, they drop “buddy points” for monsters of that species or tribe. With enough points, you can bring a monster into the dungeon with you as an AI controlled ally.
  • In addition to this, the player can bring along characters like Cid and Shirma as a buddy into dungeons.

Finally, bonuses for pre-ordering and ordering from specific stores in Japan were detailed:

• Those who preorder get a Alpha Chocobo Buddy. Its Chocobo drop attack hits all surrounding enemies.
• Those who preorder on the Nintendo E-Shop get an Astronaut Chocobo Buddy. It’s Ultimate Fire attack can penetrate up to six enemies.
• Those who preorder on the PlayStation Store get a Beastmaster Chocobo Buddy. While no special attack is listed, it seems it acts as a healer.
• Those who preorder on the Square Enix E-Store get a Red Mage Chocobo Buddy. It can use Maxim to attack enemies up to three squares away with “Pure Magical Power.”
• Those who preorder via Amazon in Japan get a Dragoon Chocobo Buddy. Its Holy Lance shoots out in three directions up to two squares- penetrating through enemies.

Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy! will release in Japan on March 20th, 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. A western release is planned, but has no release date yet.
