I didn't know what to expect but after getting used to the camera speed the rest shines. The game has a nostalgic JRPG quality to it that I've missed. Also, the serious tone of the game certainly helps push the story forward.

Final Fantasy fans have waited a long time to finally get their hands on Final Fantasy Type-0 HD . It was released on the PSP in Japan in 2011 and although it hasn't come over on the ideal platform (surely PSP to Vita would have made the most sense), this HD remaster on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox...

Final Fantasy Type-0 originally released in Japan in 2011 for the PSP, and it was never localized for the West. Due to fan outcry, Square Enix acquiesced for the game to cross the s Pacific in an HD remake for the PlayStation 4.

Refreshing for a FF game to go back to the action-RPG combat; a wide variety of characters and fighting techniques; plenty of FF callbacks and references to keep fans happy; and a twisting and intriguing story that will keep fans on their toes and curious to learn more

It should have stayed with the handheld format; the graphics were a slight disappointment for a new generation of consoles; and the grinding and exploration was far too forced when it really didn't have to be

While not the next-generation Final Fantasy game fans are anxiously waiting for, Type-0 is a fun action/adventure with a lot of compelling ideas. There's enough variety in the gameplay to keep the combat fresh for dozens of hours, and the story is surprisingly emotional for a political thriller.

Forget JRPGs, 'Final Fantasy' games alone are enough to form hard lines between various fans. 'Type-0' plays like it's meant to be enjoyed in bite sizes and in marathon sessions, and the story is so much more palatable and enjoyable than what one might expect from the past 15 years.

When it comes to Final Fantasy, everybody has a favorite era. Some people love the simplicity of the 8-bit games, while others prefer the polygonal look of those early PlayStation sequels. Often lost in this discussion is the PSP era, which I would argue was Square Enix at their most experimental.

Final Fantasy Type-0 finally comes West in the form of a new-gen port. Has it successfully made the jump across consoles? Was it any good to begin with? Alan takes a look.

Typically great music; A variety of combat styles

Terrible visuals; Groan-inducing audio; Boring

It is fitting that a game about war--its passionate triumphs, its bloody defeats, its tragic consequences--would focus so heavily on combat. In Final Fantasy Type-0, you guide a group of gifted teenagers through numerous campaigns to capture opposing cities and kill the powerful beings aiding enemy...

Combat is fast and engaging; Mission structure actively encourages use of all 14 characters; Meaningful leveling and and ability customization; Primary characters' personal stories properly reflect the ravages of war

Most NPCs were left out of the HD treatment; Clunky narrative fails to explain key concepts

Originally released in Japan for the PlayStation Portable back in 2011, Final Fantasy Type-0 finally makes its way stateside after a long wait. Though it won't be gracing a portable platform like most anticipated, this HD update arrives exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Originally released in Japan (2011) for the PSP only, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD brings the world of Orience to next-gen consoles, allowing for a new type of FINAL FANTASY experience, featuring a gritty worldview and an action-packed battle system.
