In an interview in Dengeki PlayStation, Hajime Tabata, the director of Final Fantasy Agito XIII and Parasite Eve: The 3rd Birthday, has revealed some new details about Agito. When asked about the development process, Hajime said that "The 3rd Birthday takes priority" and that the development of Agito is steadily progressing.

Hajime went on to warn fans that the game isn't what most FF fans would expect from the game. He explains that the story is going to have weight behind it and will affect the player. He also says there will be "some harsh portrayals" during the game. Kitase, Agito's producer, then joined in by explaining that players would witness characters being killed by fire.

Agito has long been in development and is part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation which includes Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. It was said that there would be a media blow out this year for Agito. However, with news that Agito isn't a priority, hopes of a 2010 release are slipping away.
