For the most part the gameplay of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is great fun. The combat has some camera and character problems but is otherwise enjoyable and nicely strategic, and the action strategy overworld moments are a highlight. I’m not so sure about the exploration, side quests, Chocobo breeding, etc, especially with the tiny areas and many loading screens, but it’s mostly optional stuff barring the loading screens. The trouble is though, the gameplay is not the major part of the game. ...
Patience pays off, as Final Fantasy Type-0 is finally available in English. Whether it was worth the wait or not depends on what you enjoy about RPGs and how much you're addicted to the Final Fantasy XV demo.
A lot of this game's PSP heritage appears to be on display. While the characters appear to look fine for an HD remaster, many of the environments and menus look awkward and even blurry. The gameplay has several moments of frustration, especially with AI not always knowing when to heal you. This would normally be alleviated by grabbing a partner for co-op, but that aspect of the game was stripped away for the HD remaster for reasons that leave me scratching my head.
The combat has it’s moments but it has very little to do with Final Fantasy, although the awful storytelling is all too familiar from the rest of the Final Fantasy XIII series.
Final Fantasy Type-0 is the action packed Final Fantasy game that a lot of fans have been waiting for. The frantic and fluid combat system, coupled with intricate customizing option, is an RPG fans dream. While the story is does offer some heartwarming moments it’s still tough to fully immerse yourself in. Once you start playing you’ll easily lose yourself in the world of Orience, it’s that good.
