After each battle you earn Crystalium Points (CPs), which can be spent in the Crystalium System to acquire new abilities. New abilities become available once you learned certain abilities in the grid.

In addition the magic level-up is demonstrated in the Crystalium System, you start with Fire, and you can learn Fira by level-up the blaster role, and it can be further upgraded to Firaga, which can hit multiple enemies and blast them into the mid-air.

He added: "For Europe and North America, the PS3 and 360 versions are going to be released simultaneously."

Kitase also said that they have been working hard to cut down the wait for European and North American gamers.

"For previous titles it took usually about a year to localise each version and bring it over to Europe, but for this title there should be a considerably shorter gap and [we'll] bring it to European territories as close to the North American release as possible."
