Final Fantasy Fables: Grimiore

Final Fantasy Fables: Grimoire, known as 'Dungeons and Grimoires! The Boy and His Diary' (ダンジョンとグリモア！少年と彼の日記Danjon to gurimoa! Shōnen to kare no nikki) in Japan is a Dungeon RPG made by Square Enix.

Gameplay
The Dungeon RPG of course takes place in Dungeons, there are also usual Final Dungeons, and even introducing the ultimate Dungeon, known as the Yadonoki Tower, along with Via Infinito. This game uses Technical Points (TP) for powering up Skills, like the Bravery in the Dissidia series, it can Break (though since it is for Skills and not regular attacks, it'll only Cancel Skills), you can also expand your HP up to 999999! This game takes on the SP system previously used in Chocobo's Dungeon and like that game, can extend up to 9. The Summonstones (can level up to LV3 for stronger spells and Special (SP) Ability) are also in this game, they are used for Summons that can aid you, attack enemies, etc.. This game is the first to introduce the online/web game, Final Fantasy Chess where you can challenge you're friends (or yourself) in a chess-based game using Job classes and RPG-based strategy.

Final Fantasy Fables: Grimoire The Story
Final Fantasy Fables: Grimoire The Story, known as The Story of the Grimoire, The Boy and His Diary (グリモア、少年と彼の日記の話 Gurimoa, shōnen to kare no nikki no hanashi) in Japan, is both a novel and an OVA following the events of Final Fantasy Fables: Grimoire. While the novel version follows the events in volume form, the OVA version follows the events in episodic form (Ex.: Episode 1: Warriors of Light, known as あなたの運命を果たす！光の戦士 (Anata no unmei o hatasu! Hikari no senshi, lit. Fulfill Your Destiny!! The Light Warriors) in Japan), while converting the beginning of the events in its own special: Final Fantasy Fables: Grimoire The Prologue, known as The Beginning of the Story, The Boy and His Diary (物語、少年と彼の日記の始まり Monogatari, shōnen to kare no nikki no hajimari) in Japan.

Trivia

 * In this game, in a certain sidequest, we see Serah, Noel and Mog appear out of nowhere and asks Tobby what time they're in. He checks in his Diary and saids they're in a different universe, they somehow got side-tracked and ended up in his dimension. Frustrated, they stick around anyways, and they decide to join your party!
