Final Fantasy Type-0 is shipping this week in Japan on two UMD discs, meaning that users will have to swap them out at some point. Strangely enough, game director Hajime Tabata revealed to Dengeki PlayStation that the game uses a disc swapping system quite dissimilar from those seen in older multi-disc Final Fantasy releases.

The core of the single player content can found on the first disc, including the first and last chapter. The rest of the game is reportedly allocated to the second disc, where players can hop in and out with friends on multiplayer as well. In order to finish the game, players will have to swap from the second disc back to the first. A strange system indeed.

Tabata notes the reason for employing this system is due to the game’s multiplayer mode. He assured fans that even though the initial disc swap might be early on, it is not because of lesser content.

In other new, changes and improvements have been made to the game's camera, making it less of a nuisance, as well as the phantoma system. Some character balancing has been done as well.

With all that said, there’s still been no word on a Western release after that Blummer last week.
