Jurassic World, Marvel's Avengers, and more on the way

TGS 2014 Type-0 Companion Final Fantasy Agito Is Coming to PS Vita
Still no Type-0
When poor little Final Fantasy Agito was announced for smartphones and tablets, it was vastly ignored in the West, mainly because of its purpose as a prequel and companion game to the unreleased Final Fantasy Type-0.
