    Previously known as Final Fantasy Agito and only for the japanese PSP owners, after years of waiting we (occidental players) were at last able to play it under the name of Type-O on PS4 with an HD upscaling.

    Technically the game is clearly outdated and they didn't make a lot of efforts to offer a true PS4 version, except the main characters, everything looks flat and unrefined. At    Previously known as Final Fantasy Agito and only for the japanese PSP owners, after years of waiting we (occidental players) were at last able to play it under the name of Type-O on PS4 with an HD upscaling.

    Technically the game is clearly outdated and they didn't make a lot of efforts to offer a true PS4 version, except the main characters, everything looks flat and unrefined. At least the game is not buggy but it's still a disappointment after all those years they could have at least make it look like a PS3 title.

    Concerning the gameplay: the fighting system is pretty close to what we will encounter in Final Fantasy XV, with a clear orientation for the action (where old Final Fantasy XV were turn based), if you're not an hardcore fan that refuse any change, this system works perfectly and all the fights are more alive while containing enough personalisation to truly qualify as a RPG in the same time. The game was clearly design for mobile players with fairly short sessions in mind, it's not the best for PS4 but I won't blame the game for that.

    The story is a classic war story from Japan, with magical resources and all that. It's pretty well written with some twists. On the other hand the characters are very cliché and like the XIII saga you'll want to slap every one of them for being so stupidly naive and the voice-over are also pretty bad and won't help you to create any link with them. The side quests are pure fetch quest and only completionist will have the patience to do them. To finish the main game you'll need around 25 hours which is a fair length.

    In conclusion Type-0 is a nice action J-RPG but with outdated graphics, despicable characters and side quests with 0 interest make this title advisable only for those who are craving for RPGs, if it's not your favourite genre you can skip it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, let me be up front. I enjoyed the game, and my criticisms will be mainly in the form of complaints. To get the "good stuff" out of the way up front. The combat is pretty cool, and overall I found the game's overarching story (until chapter 8) to be pretty refreshing.

    My objections:
    - The controls seem like they are a bit clunky at times.
    - The combat is fresh, but the locations are EXTREMELY repetitive. There's essentially about 10 "different" types of "field" that you're going to fight in. By the time you are about 3 hours in you've seen the vast majority of them
    - There are more fights in this game that end in you dying automatically than basically the ENTIRE FF franchise put together. I understand that it's to make the player feel powerless, but it happens with SUCH frequency in this game that most boss battles just feel pointless.
    - The characters are pretty awful. For these 'all-powerful' characters, their personalities are all pretty rubbish. Seven is pretty alright, but the others are barely tolerable in any quantity.
    - The last chapter / ending make virtually no sense, come completely out of nowhere, and aren't fleshed out well at all.
    - SPOILER (minor): The final battle is impossible to lose as far as I can tell.
    - Gear progression throughout the game is sporadic, semi-random, and generally confusing.
    - Leveling is slow unless you cheat
    - Grinding SPP is REALLLLLY slow and unreliable unless you cheat.

    My compliments:
    The game itself deals a lot with death, often violent death. It doesn't shy away from that, which is nice.
    It's cool to see final fantasy do a "war" that actually FEELS like a war.

    The ugly:
    -The PS4 version lacks multiplayer, whereas the PSP had it. Removing features for next-gen, I just can't help but dock points for it.
    -The combat is broken up into areas, which is fine, but each of these areas is REALLY small, so you are constantly loading, which is annoying, if it pre-loaded (which should be entirely possible with a machine as powerful as the PS4 compared to the PSP) this wouldn't be an issue.
    -There's no real minigames at all.
    -The ending is complete trash

    My verdict:
    Pick it up, but if you haven't already done so, wait for this one to drop in price. By the end of the year this will be down at LEAST $30 from where it is now if you're buying used.    … Expand

    To    Entering the world of the Playstation 4 (and Xbox One) and the new era of HD remasters/remakes comes Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. FFT-0 was released in 2011 as a PSP game that stunned people with great graphics and a darker, fresher direction for the series as a whole. The team as Square Enix has brought this wonderful entry to the series up with enhanced visuals and not too much else.
    To begin with the most glaring change, the graphics. From the PSP to the larger consoles and TV screens, the game has scaled nicely. The character models are great looking and move somewhat fluidly. That's not to say there isn't some clunky or oddball movements from characters. The other glaring fault here is the facial graphics of each character. Whether it be in remastered CGI cut scenes or gameplay there are some jerkiness issues and shading issues here. Sometimes I caught a glimpse of triangular shading on a character's face from the cheek bone area down. Nothing major, but it's still something that flaws the experience. Other things such as clothing, monsters, Chocobo's, and etc are heavily, heavily detailed. They seem to lack the shading issues over all. My only other gripe is that during any and all cut scenes the characters' mouths don't match the voice overs for either the English or Japanese dialogue. The characters flap their mouths without any sound at some points.
    Gameplay-wise the game is rather solid, but very, very confusing at times. Somethings aren't explained well at all such as Killing Sight and Break Sight. There isn't any formal introduction to each of the playable characters to give insight into their skills, abilities, or weapons. It's a game of trial and error. You may go headlong into a mission only to discover that some, like the Katana-wielding Jack, can't attack a whole heck of a lot. The game does suggest the "best" team for each mission by highlighting them in yellow/gold. During missions and in battle, there is a hell of a lot to focus on at once. HP, MP, enemies, harvesting souls from downed enemies, and general chaos. It also doesn't help that the targeting system and camera go wild on occasion.
    For the story... Well, the same as above. A lot to focus on and a lot of questions that are thrown at you right away. There is a lot of info popping up quickly and most of the finer details aren't explained, but instead they are written down in the school's library for you to read later.
    The music is rather good. I'm not sure if that got a bump in quality too, but everything comes through crystal clear. My only complaint in this area is that the VO for both languages are... Off in a way. Both Japanese and English have the typical girly-girl voices, brooding dark dude, typical action hero, and voice of reason that we as gamers have come to know, expect, and hopefully love by now.

    Overall, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD isn't a bad game. It lacks some polish here and there, but it's a great way for Square Enix to test the waters of the PS4/Xbox1 before the release of FFXV (which is included as a playable demo).
    Short list:
    Pros:
    -Quick game play
    -Great visuals
    -Great music

    Cons
    -Confusing... Well... Everything is a bit confusing
    -Typical voice acting for both languages
    -Some model flaws/shading flaws/random mouth flapping    … Expand

    Aside from the fact that it should have been ported to the Vita rather than the PS4, it does give the mainstream a different type of FF to play. Soundtrack is great, controls are not too bad, and the learning curve doesn't feel to terribly steep for new players. All in all I would consider this to be a FF appetizer until FFXV comes out.

I would have to disagree. I give all three entries in XIII a better score than this. My main problem with this game has nothing to do with the port -- I've never been a big fan of how many characters are in your party and how fast they enter, without any establishment of personal stories or backgrounds. It's a problem of 'too many cooks'. One of my favorite aspects of RPGs is the deep, entrenching story and compelling and complex character establishment. This game severely lacks the latter. For the first 10+ hours, over half the team probably hasn't been in your party yet, and you may have heard 1-2 lines from most of them. Honestly, it's hard to get connected to any of the characters because of that. Fifteen playable characters is just wayyyy too many, even for a FF game. So that already was a problem for me -- however, the port introduced some new issues. First of all, the cutscenes are anything but seamless. I understand it's a port, but the 15 seconds of blank loading screens in between every 5-10 seconds of cutscene sometimes leaves something to be desired. They really could have worked on just sewing some of the scenes together a little better, given they're now on XBONE/PS4. It would have given the story a better flow than the original offered. Lastly, porting to a new console generation gave them the opportunity to make the interface a little more clear, and they just plain failed to do that. We're not on a five-inch screen anymore, so there's no reason for the big, blocky, messy interface it has. It's honestly an eyesore.

    Now, that's what I DON'T like. I'm not saying I hate this game. I love the story, the combat system is the best so far aside from XII, and the graphics are beautiful (they really did a great job with that). I'm just saying that over the years I've come to always expect great from Square Enix, and they have never truly disappointed -- more often than not, they actually exceed my expectations. This is, I would have to say, the first final fantasy game I have ever played that I was truly disappointed by. Not gravely disappointed, but disappointed nonetheless. And the main reason I'm a bit upset about it is BECAUSE it's Square Enix, and I know that if they wanted to, they could have easily done better (they always do). I do feel it's the first time they've lowered the bar for themselves, and I am sad about that.

    I'm not saying you shouldn't play this game, either. You should. It's a great game. I'm just saying that it's really not what I was expecting, and it doesn't quite live up to the reputation of its developer.    … Expand

    This is one of the hardest FF to play. It is quite good but the difficulty level is too high. Even on Easy you are going to need much luck. Even the first Boss is hard and if you die you have to start over from the beginning of each level. The story rescues the game from a bad rating. I score it with fair 7 points.

The biggest problem with the game isn't even in it's identity, but rather the limitations it's original console had in the PSP. T-0 HD is not the normal FF game, as it is more gritty and less colorful than previous titles. The game's story revolves around war, and how it is the young who die in war, not those who have the power to wage it, and the feelings of this are radiated in the fact that the supporting cast outside of the 14 playable characters dwindle down little by little as the game goes on. Gameplay holds a basic 3 attack, 1 defensive ability locked to the four button layout. A nice add on is the killshot, which is a split second that occurs where a red circle appears. If damage is done during this split second, then the target dies, regardless of whether it's an opponent or a boss. The limitations of course are the biggest problems with the game. The game doesn't look good. sure it looks amazing for a PSP port, but as a PS4 game it is not where the status quo would be. Cutscenes show its PSP origins as the simplest movements require a fade to black shot to reset everyone. The game itself is not bad, but the biggest thing that works against it is the fact that if the game was remade as a PS4 title, it would easily be one of the best titles on the console, maybe even the cosole generation.… Expand

The final boss was also just terrible, the boss battle lasted a very long time considering when you fight the final battle your characters cannot die you literally cannot lose the final battle which really goes far away from what Final Fantasy is.

    This game is great but has poor choices in its design. This is my first Final Fantasy game and I decided to jump in with the transition into action-based combat, and the fighting in this game is amazing, it's fast paced and all of the characters play differently and uniquely so you will definitely get a favourite to play with. The missions (when playing on Officer difficulty) are very tense and difficult when you are trying not to die since it is very easy to. I didn't mind having random fights in the over-world since fight in was such a joy. However the other element of gameplay kind-of falls apart, you have a time limit and you have to do tasks in that time limit such as going to the over-world and kill some enemies, but everytime you go into the over-world or talk to special people it takes up time so a layer of strategy is added to the game, however later on, I didn't know what to do in this time and I just kept on running around endlessly, good thing you can still start the story mission at any time.

    The graphics are the worst feature of this game because it looks dreadful, they range for mostly PS2 to the main character models looking like early PS3 graphics so I wonder why this wasn't on last gen as well as current gen, that would have made so much more sense.

    I must admit, I haven't played through the whole story and I am 20 hours in however your play though may be a bit quicker since I was trying to get trophies. But I thing the same gameplay concept will be shown throughout the story. The story is compelling and very interesting but I won't talk about it for spoilers sake.

    Overall it is good but it isn't great. I definitely wouldn't pay full price for it however it comes to around £30 it would be great. However the main reason people bought this game was so they could get to the Final Fantasy 15 demo so that's a reason you may think they put no time into it but they did put some time into it but not enough in the right places.    … Expand

    it's too Japanese, even it has lots of core FF elements from the originals, I´ve just bought it for the FFXV Episode Duscae Demo, it has good gameplay and graphics, but it's too japanese for me, hated the characters a lot

    If this is on PSP then it should be a 9/10 or even 10/10 RPG.
    However it is a PS4 remastered. The game is not suit for long time sit-and-enjoy experience.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 focus more on New Game+ than any other RPGs, I think. There are tons of mission you can't handle for the first playthrough and the story is not quite clear without the extra cut scenes in the second round gameplay.

    I thought this was fun 15 to 20 hours experience that I did have some issues with but overall enjoyed my time with it and would recommend if you like other FF games, I had a long of fun with the combat style and all the different styles, it felt quite polished to me for an older game, I thought the story was mostly good up until the last couple of hours where it pretty much just went offI thought this was fun 15 to 20 hours experience that I did have some issues with but overall enjoyed my time with it and would recommend if you like other FF games, I had a long of fun with the combat style and all the different styles, it felt quite polished to me for an older game, I thought the story was mostly good up until the last couple of hours where it pretty much just went off the rails from there and kind of lost me, I thought it was going on a good path and I really wish it went in a different direction then it did.

    I'm always skeptical with games that market a wide range of main characters, I find the often result is a very bland underdeveloped group of individuals and this unfortunately did fall into that trap, you really didn't get much substance to the characters other then a very touching cut scene towards the end of the game that I did enjoy but wished there were more of.    … Expand

    Final Fantasy Type-0 was a refreshing look on the Final Fantasy series. The story started off strong and maintained a high level of interest throughout the game up until the end where the game steered off in some bizarre direction that didn't make much sense at all.

One thing that was a bit disappointing was the sheer number of playable characters that were available in the game. There was way too many characters to deal with especially for the completionist players. Despite the lackluster ending the game was an enjoyable experience.

    Quiet a huge disappointment to the series of final fantasy in terms of storyline. The characters were allright although the setting is quiet boring. Gameplay was too grindy and the content is very limited. I would give it a 9 if it had better story-line and gameplay. One of the only reason i would brought this is the ff 15 demo.

    The graphics were old. The characters and music were ok. The games difficulty level is very shallow as if they want you to finish the game. I was disappointed with it.

    Took a while to get the hang of at first, but then ended up really liking it. The real time fighting system is great, and so is the story. Biggest downfall for me was that it got a bit repetitive, but great game overall

    A shoddy Vita port. Clunky gameplay and disappointing visuals leave this title miles away from the quality I've grown to expect from SQUARE ENIX.

    This game left a lot to be desired. At first I loved it, I mean I could swap between players and there were 14 characters and it had a free roaming map... but the super long cut scenes, poorly chosen repeating sounds (that bleeping siren sound OMG!), retarded camera and a hodgepodge of a story that just left me wondering, "Why should I care?" and it all ended in tears.

One of my biggest pains was that certain character have play styles you are forced to adopt that made me want to whip my controller at the wall. "Reflex?" really who thought this was fun? Normally I don't mind long cut scenes when they develop the story, the problem with this story is that it had almost nothing to do with the characters you play. You could have taken any 14 random character and thrown them in this story and it wouldn't have made a difference. I made it to chapter 5 and by that point I was skipping cut-scenes, rushing from area to area just to make an effort to MAKE IT END. But I ran out of patients... As a big FF fan i found myself unable to finish this one... it doesn't really feel like a real FF anyway so I guess I don't feel too bad I mean with a name like Type-0 I guess I should have expected something more like X-2 or even the dreaded XIII.

    TLDR; What started of as excitement ended in... "I just can't play this game anymore, it just too annoying."    … Expand

    I’ve been playing FF games since I was a kid (it’s been a long time already XDD) and I got to say this FF feels a bit like a mixture of the old and new ones, which is not bad.

Bad things first, there are quite a few areas you can visit in this world and unfortunately, quite a lot of them feel quite simple and restrained artistically speaking, for example the cities you liberate are basically all the same in a same country… (Other venues are good). I think the setting in final fantasies has always been excellent, very detailed, awesomely beautiful or well-made environments with captivating music etc. This one does not feel that great. The main characters are average; I like the fact that there are quite a few of them, but although the class as a whole is decent, they are not very charismatic, individually speaking (maybe it’s made a bit on purpose to stress the whole teamwork/class thing but…). Actually, some of the secondary characters have a lot more charisma and they’re more interesting (e.g. dr al-rashia). Good things!!, I think the story was quite good and that is important in a FF, it was unexpected as the story is not supported by strong characters. The type-0 universe is really interesting, captivating and quite awesome in general. If you take some time and read the lore you’ll find that the type-0 universe is very very interesting, one of the best in my opinion. Combat is quite dynamic and fast paced, maybe it’s not my favourite but it is good I think.

    If you’re wondering, is it worth playing? I’d say yes, it is definitely, but I am pretty sure a lot of people will end up with the same feeling I ended up with. End of day, this is an average/decent game set in an awesome universe with and interesting story. There was potential for a very good thing here but they didn’t achieve it. I really hope square comes back to this world and does something with better characters and taking more time to design the cities and stuff. If they do, it could be absolutely epic, in the meantime give this one a try and treat it as an appetizer for hopefully a future better game set in this great universe.    … Expand

    Enjoyable game with numerous flaws.

    Pros: - Story missions are diverse and interesting - Characters are kind of decent and rarely annoying - With 17 (or sg like that) playable characters you have some skills, spells and playstyles to play around with - the "losses of war" vibe from the story feels well written and thought out, and had some memorable scenes.

    - the "losses of war" vibe from the story feels well written and thought out, and had some memorable scenes.

    Cons:
    - the "open world" is painfully empty
    - story endings make zero sence (until you search fan forums for explanations but thats really not ok)
    - diffucilty scaling is a joke. Let me emphasise I really do like and need challenge and decent difficulty in games, but in this game there is mostly 2 difficulty levels at any point: "kind of easy and boring" or "everything oneshots you". The one shotting isn't necessarily a bad thing, if you look at sg like Dark Souls for example, but here the hit frames are chaotic and inconsistent, so you basically spamming dodge (no stamina cost or anything) hoping for the best.
    - side quest system is trash. You are unable to accept more then 1 side quest at once. You go out ( to the boring painfully empty open world ) travel through some territories, walk aroun for like 10 minutes to find the mob you need to hunt, then go back to the quest giver to finish the quest, before you are able to take a new one. It is just really boring.
    - skill descriptions are often not detailed enough to understand without googling it.
    - visuals are from adequate to really ugly.
    - more then half of the boss are flying making meele characters ( which is 70% of them ) mostly useless.    … Expand

    Those hoping to see the franchise return to its legendary roots, or those (like me) who are just sick of the Final Fantasy XIII universe are likely to come away less impressed. It's nice that we've finally gotten the opportunity to play this game, but I'm not convinced it was worth the wait.

    Too technically flabby to be called vintage, but you'll find yourself immersed in a satisfyingly grim story with a varied cast of characters. [May 2015, p.86]
