A [[{{Turn based strategy}} Turn Based]] TacticalRPG heavily flavored with {{Mon}}-style collecting, published by SquareEnix worldwide.
The story follows the adventures of Ziggy, as he tries to save his baby brother Zero from the evil [[{{Big Bad}} Number 42]] and his [[{{AssimilationPlot}} Machine Network]]. Along the way he gathers a huge group of Tune Troopers, as well as [[{{Robot Girl}} Robot Boy]] Z.E.R.O and a quintet of unique, superiorTroopers, the so-called Superstars.
Oh, and did I mention it's an ''iPod Touch'' & ''Iphone'' exclusive?
The gimmick of this game is that every individual Trooper Ziggy summons is created from a specific song in your library, and levels up as you listen to that song, so instead of the typical [[{{ExperiencePoints}} XP]] grind, they level up naturally as you listen to music.

* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Three or four in most battles (plus [[{{The Hero}} Ziggy]]), one in Rehearsal, eighty total.
* AssimilationPlot: [[{{Big Bad}} Number 42]]'s Network.
* AuraVision: When Seattelite's daughter, who is blind, meets the party, she describes their auras. This actually factors into game terms: Seatellite, who's a blue resonance type, has a blue aura, while Ziggy, the game's only white type, has an aura like she's never seen.
* BladeOnAStick: The Knights all use lances.
* CallingYourAttacks: And all of them are named after songs or lyrics.

* FantasyCharacterClasses: Boiled down to five- Archer, Mage, Knight, Soldier and Monk. Everyone has one of these classes, even the Big Bad.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: One flashback shows Ziggy jumping over a crevasse that only flying units can cross in-game.
