Final Fantasy Explorers is slated to launch on 3DS in Japan on December 18.

Explorers is a new action RPG from Square Enix that eschews the story-driven nature of most Final Fantasy games and features more of a Monster Hunter style where players go on quests. The combat is focused on a job-based system and players can even play online with up to three other players. The game is directed by Atsushi Hashimoto, who most recently worked on Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Square Enix is airing a series of videos in Japan starting on September 3 at 8 a.m. ET/5 a.m. PT/9 p.m. JST/2 p.m. CET  to explain the mechanics of Final Fantasy Explorers.

As of now, there is no word on a North American or European release for Final Fantasy Explorers.
