Project Pheonix is the strategy-JRPG revival project from former Final Fantasy, Crysis 3, Diablo 3 and Halo 4 developers. It's long-since funded on Kickstarter, but developer Creative Intelligence Arts has opened up PayPal funding tiers and rewards, should you wish to back it.

Last year, I interviewed Project Phoenix director and producer Hiroaki Yura and found the game to be a strategic take on the JRPG format that blends Eastern and Western sensibilities, as well as Nobou Uematsu's musical compositions. It's a big project, and its just opened PayPal funding for those late to the Kickstarter.

In an email update sent to VG247 today, CCA confirmed that Project Phoenix PayPal funding is now live, and starts at $10 for the 'Supporter' tier.

$30 gets you into the 'Pioneer' bracket, which gets you a digital download of the finished game and beta access, while $45 grants access to the early alpha phase. For $60, 'Digital Collector' offers backers all of the above, plus a Death's Mantle in-game item, digital artbook, the making-of documentary and Uematsu's digital soundtrack. There are some new PayPal-only rewards in there too, such as a Shadow Phoenix pet and mount.

There's plenty more funding tiers through the link above, but the top level will run you $5,000, including everything on offer. Here's a run-down:
