first note that square enix did make the game and its for serious pvp which is rare since they seldom make pvp mmo.but they give up on the japanese server after a while and choose to focus on ffxiv instead and sold the license for it to other company to manage so it may not be square enix best mmo.
but i have watched their video on this in youtube before and the pvp is quite intense and since starting of beta is coming for new english version we can consider this.
should be a f2p mmo which is rare for squareenix
=====================================================
Square Enix and Gamepot USA have partnered up to deliver a new free-to-play fantasy MMOG dubbed "Fantasy Earth Zero" to MMOG fans in Q1 2010.
Fantasy Earth Zero, which is being announced exclusively here at MMORPG.com, will focus on PvPvE (Player vs. Player vs. Environment) gameplay and utilize a new "Hyper-Active Battle System," which aims to deliver an exhilarating combat experience akin to the "best scenes in Gladiator or Braveheart, with the action ratched up to 20."
A familiar theme for Square Enix games, Fantasy Earth Zero is set in the world of Melpharia, which has erupted into all out war over powerful crystals strewn throughout the world.
Players will be able to choose from three distinct and highly customizable classes, and five unique kingdoms, with the ability for up to 50 vs. 50 PvP battles. The game's soundtrack is being scored by Hitoshi Sakamoto, of Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII fame.
Below is a breakdown of Fantasy Earth Zero's features:
• Robust Character Customization: FEZ provides nearly endless opportunities to create unique characters, allowing gamers to tailor their Fantasy Earth Zero experience as much – or as little – as they like.
• Anime-inspired, energetic art style: Breathtaking, high-quality graphics from the unmatched skill of Square Enix artists.
• Three Distinct Classes: The Power of a Warrior, The prodigious skills of a Mage, and the impeccable aim of an Archer are yours to command.
• Five Unique Kingdoms Vying for Allegiance:
o The Kingdom of Netzawar: The brave Lion King Huenkel commands these warriors, driven by a selfless love of battle..
o The United Kingdom of Cesedria: Led by the beautiful elf, Queen Tiffarith, these fighters are dedicated to protection.
o The Gerburand Empire: A nation forged from endless wars, Emperor Lyle Geburand leads his people in a war of conquest.
o The Kingdom of Ielsord:Led by King Niass, These brilliant warriors live by one creed: Knowledge is Power,
o The Kingdom of Hordaine:This youthful country is led by the gorgeous Queen Wadritte, in a battle for her ideals.
• Breath-taking Battlegrounds: Wage war in cities, the countryside, snow fields, grasslands, and across day, dusk and night.
• Hyper-Active Battle System: From 5v5 up to 50v50 player-versus-player (PvP) action in multiple battlegrounds, Fantasy Earth Zero is more akin to an action game than a traditional RPG. It’s an experience that puts the control of a multiple nation war directly into the player’s hands. Fast-paced action where players dodge, attack and use their skill and resources to win battles and change the tide of war.
• Voice Acting: 5 Kings, 5 leaders, 5 distinctive voices. Your chosen king will encourage you on and off the battlefield, monitor your overall progress, as well as give sound advice to emerge victorious.
• Music by Hitoshi Sakimoto: Best known for scoring Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII, Hitoshi Sakimoto has composed soundtracks for more than 70 games, arranged music for more than 40 others and now lends his unique talent to Fantasy Earth Zero.
• Website Stat-Tracking: Check out your wins, losses, kill/death ratio and more online!
