The game was originally announced as a title for mobile phones and the PSP called Final Fantasy Agito XIII. The setting and presentation were inspired by historical documentaries, and the story itself was written to be darker than other Final Fantasy titles.

Eventually, the group becomes entangled in the secrets behind both the war and the reason for their existence. When the Militesi Empire launches an assault on the other Crystal States of Orience, seeking to control their respective crystals, Class Zero is mobilized for the defense of Rubrum. The story focuses on Class Zero, a group of fourteen students from the Vermillion Peristylium, a magical academy in the Dominion of Rubrum. The player also engages in large-scale strategy-based battles on the world map, and has access to a multiplayer option during story missions and side quests. The gameplay, similar to Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, has the player taking control of characters in real-time combat during missions across Orience.
