    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game starts with a cinematic that drags on forever about some injured person who in the end has nothing to do with the story at all. It would be like if a background character in a movie was injured or killed and the director decided we needed 10+ minutes of his life story even though it has nothing to do with the plot.

    The game frequently puts you into situations in which it either doesn't explain the mechanics of the event or explains them very poorly.

    The controls are not difficult to get a handle on but they are more complicated than they need to be, and while the targeting system technically targets enemies it does not face you towards them it just highlights them. Attacks will hit that target but you could have the camera looking your character in the face not actually seeing what he or she is doing.

    Plot flow feels very random like the story for the game was written 'willy-nilly' with totally random moments occurring that don't seem like the were thought up at the last moment to look cool.

    Square's amazing laziness when it comes to lip sync shines through yet again, while it's excusable for pre-rendered cinematic sequences, in game models move in real time and therefore their mouth movement can be changed to match the language the characters are speaking

    Final Fantasy Type-O HD seems like square followed their usual process of developing in a vacuum, it is doubtful that any attempt was made to get opinions on the playability or 'fun-factor' of the game outside of the core team and continues Square Enix's now long running trend of making a game that is all visuals with no heart.

    If you want to make movies, then make movies Square. Advent Children was actually pretty good and that seems to be your forte now. You stopped making games about fourteen years ago.    … Expand

    Wow... I am a serious FF fan, and this is just... not worth my money. Graphics are terrible, storyline is like Harry Potter on crack, battle system is obnoxious, and that is just the beginning. Anybody knows how to return it?

    It makes me sad that I bought this piece of garbage remake just to get the Episode Duscae Demo. The game is a literal bloody mess, in both style and gameplay. This eyesore on the FF series deserved to stay on the PSP where it started, and after I saw this game I really hope this isn't the trend of demo releases in the future. Thanks a lot SQENIX, you found a way to sell garbage games toIt makes me sad that I bought this piece of garbage remake just to get the Episode Duscae Demo.

    after all this game again just a overhyped game by fanboys nothing else...+ imo there is no reason to make sequels again.. just ruin the gameplot/story.    … Expand

    A valiant attempt at doing something different with a revered franchise, but one that doesn't fulfill all of its goals or early promise. One for FF fans only. [Issue#123, p.74]

    So for anyone who bought it, or is intending to buy it as a stopgap before our first true current-gen outing for the series eventually comes along, then you might be find this game as a welcome surprise, as going back to school with Class Zero really has taught us that there’s still plenty of life left in Final Fantasy.
