[b]Project Phoenix[/b] is an indie game being developed by [i]Creative Intelligence Arts[/i]. A squad-based real-time strategy video game combined with strong Japanese role-playing game design influence, the project is being described as [[Kickstarter]]'s first [[Japan]]-based video game project. The development team, self-described as "featuring AAA talent", includes [[Final Fantasy]] composer Uematsu Nobuo, and Arai Kiyoshi, an artist for [[Final Fantasy XII]] and [[Final Fantasy XIV|XIV]]. Violinist Yura Hiroaki will serve as the game's director and producer, while [[L.A. Noire]] QA analyst Vaughan Smith will be the game and battle designer.

The game's Kickstarter project successfully raised $1,014,600 (of $100,000 goal) on September 11, 2013; however, the project has since gone down as a disaster.
