Cloud won’t be the only familiar Final Fantasy series face to join you in Final Fantasy Explorers. Square Enix has revealed that Tina/Terra (Final Fantasy VI), Squall (Final Fantasy VIII), and Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII) will also have the ability to fight by your side, if only temporarily. Using a system called Trance you’ll be able to transform into one of these Legend Characters to face enemies in battle. Each Legend Character will have their own unique abilities in addition to your own, of which call back to their individual games.

Square Enix has allowed Famitsu some more hands-on time with the game as well, including a look at a four player team fighting against the summoned Shiva. If you listen carefully, you can hear familiar themes corresponding to each Legend Character.

Final Fantasy Explorers is due out in Japan on December 18th. First edition copies of the game will include a voucher for a free copy of the original Final Fantasy, in addition to other in-game bonuses.
