    Can't stress enough how awesome this game has been for me. The graphics aren't great, the camera is wonky at times, but the nostalgic yet fresh Final Fantasy experience I have been craving has been satisfied. I was disappointed with the direction of the series, but have fallen back in love with FF Type-0. 9/10, but 10/10 for awesome nostalgia-ness.

    It's quite a joy to play a Final Fantasy and not to leave blanching and sad to see how they have prostituted.

    One of my best games of last year. I loved Type-0

    Its been a long time, since I had that feeling of "this is final fantasy" and this game gives you that.
    Its not the most graphically awesome game, and it has its faults. But over all well worth playing.

    This game is like no other final fantasy but it is still awesome and for the most part it is a dark version of kingdom hearts. You also get to set up parties for each playing style which is a nice bonus

    Final Fantasy Type-0 is like no other Final Fantasy ever. It thrives in its originality while floating through the franchise's mythos and established lore. It's definitely not perfect, but it's a fantastic Final Fantasy game.

    The first thing that I want to get out of the way is how good the combat is. You'll spend most of your time fighting waves and more waves of enemies in this game.

    You'll spend most of your time fighting waves and more waves of enemies in this game. And I'm happy to report that the combat system in this game is astounding!
    Easy to pick up, hard to master, fluid battle system, fast paced, seamless grinding, good boss fights, unique characters that actually make a difference when building a party and going to battle, challenging and most importantly: fun and addictive!
    It's impressive how the combat alone glued me tight. I could recommend this game based on just that.

    Then we have the story. And this is where it gets complicated to talk about. But it's not bad at all. You see, I got quite attached to the characters and their motivations. The war and Orience's bleak setting kept me interested. This is the darkest and most serious Final Fantasy I've ever played and it works.
    Most of it is due to the cast of remarkable characters. They all get their time to shine (some more than others, unfortunately), spending time in Akademeia helps to form a bond with their daily lives and the endings are very well done. The original/canon ending actually brought tears to my eyes.

    The problem is that this beautiful story isn't well told at all!
    The writing is convoluted and things happen way too fast. Too much of the lore and backstory of Orience and its past occurences are written in a tome. So instead showing it to you, they make you chase it. And what makes it worse is that those things are essential to grasping everything going on. And A LOT goes on.
    Not only that, but too much of the content is locked behind new playthroughs. It'd be fine if they just added optional stuff to NG+, but there are new story cutscenes and important missions that you just don't get the first time around.

    In addition to not properly telling the story, the game also fails in a few other aspects.
    Party AI should be better, sometimes it gets too tough even on standard difficulty, casting powerful magic and using items is huge hassle, RTS missions break too much of the game's pacing, there are too many characters to level up and there's A LOT of content gating.
    Also, I just can't stress enough how weak the soundtrack is. This is unacceptable for a FF game!

    Having said all that, I'm just very happy that I've finished this game. This is a very good Final Fantasy game, with its own successful original take, an entertaining cast of characters and a brilliant battle system.
    For a PSP remaster, this is impressive. Play this one.    … Expand

    I was quite surprised by this fun little FF jaunt. When taken as a casual experience the experience really seemed to shine through for me. A linear plot progression that pushes you to finish once and jump into NG+ isn't always appreciated but in the end the bulk of the replay value is in side missions that required higher levels. Could have benefited greatly from an inventory overhaul butI was quite surprised by this fun little FF jaunt. When taken as a casual experience the experience really seemed to shine through for me.

    Type-0 me parece un juego dificil de evaluar por su precio. Personalmente lo compré por unos 20$, pero entiendo que mucha gente lo compró y jugó por 50 o 60 dólares. Como en la actualidad el precio es el primero que mencioné, lo evaluaré de esa manera. Aunque he de adelantar que salvo que seas muy fanático de la saga no recomiendo pagar más de 30 o 35 dólares por él. Ya dejando ésto deType-0 me parece un juego dificil de evaluar por su precio.

Aunque he de adelantar que salvo que seas muy fanático de la saga no recomiendo pagar más de 30 o 35 dólares por él. Ya dejando ésto de lado.

    La principal virtud del juego es la forma en que entrelaza distintos tipos de jugabilidades, gestión de crecimiento de personajes, algunas partes de estrategia, la relación con los NPCs, elección de misiones, variación de las mismas en el New Game +. Esto genera una sensacion de variedad dentro del juego, lo que ayuda a no aburrirse del mismo. Por ultimo , y antes de pasar al análisis por puntos, tengo que destacar los compases finales del juego, donde la historia estalla y se vuelve sumamente interesante. Su final y la reflexión a la que invita está a la altura de los mejores de la saga, como FF VI, VII y IX. Lamentablemente en otros aspectos no da la tallar, veremos.

    Jugabilidad: Como adelanté, se entrelazan distintos tipos de jugabilidades, aunque principalmente son dos; por un lado está el action Rpg como sistema muy similar al de Crisis Core, pero muy depurado y agregando la profundidad de tener 15 personajes controlables con sus movimientos y capacidades específicas. La segunda jugabilidad es la de un RTS clásico, pero mas simplificado. En general el juego es entretenido, aunque cuando se acoplan demasiadas misiones ARPG se puede tornar aburrido, sin nombrar que en la actualidad hay mucho mejores ARPG, incluso japoneses. 7/10.

    Apartado Sonoro: En cuanto a ambientación sonora, el juego es originario de PSP y como tal no se le puede pedir demasiado, el juego cumple con tener ciertos sonidos ambientales, pero nada comparado a juegos actuales o de sobremesa. Sin embargo a nivel de musicalización el juego es extraordinario, Takeharu Ishimoto realizo una labor extraordinaria, entre melodias inspiradoras, épicas y tranquilizadoras variando por los distintos momentos del juego. Si la remasterizacion hubiera mejorado un poco la ambientacion sonora el juego sería de 10 en este sentido, lamentablemente no fue así. 9/10

    Apartado Técnico: La labor visual de Square Enix con este juego ha sido mejorar la resolución a HD y cambiar a los personajes principales con nuevas animaciones y diseños graficos más o menos acordes a los tiempos que corren. De resto el juego es igual a su versión en PSP. 6/10.

    Como siempre digo, un juego es más que la suma de sus partes. Por eso aunque como remastered el juego es flojo, el juego base es extraordinario en cuanto a historia, reflexiones a las que invita y composicion musical. Por ello mi nota final sería un 8.    … 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.
