Just saw this on twitter - https://twitter.com/McBiggitty/status/505154029752561664

Just saw a bunch of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and chatted with the game's director. Full impressions soon, but holy moly, the game's legit.

1) When is Type-0 HD coming out?
Within the next year, Tabata says. (Before Aug 2015)

PAX 2014: FINAL FANTASY TYPE-0 HD: FAST, VIOLENT, AND MATURE

From the 20-minutes of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD gameplay I saw at PAX Prime 2014, it seems like Square-Enix is redefining what a Final Fantasy game can be.

While talking with Tabata, I brought up a lot of the questions we had immediately following Type-0 HD’s stealth announcement back in June at E3, first and foremost, why isn’t it coming to Vita. His answer was a bit vague, but he kept circling around to the idea of his excitement of finally being able to play through the portable game on the big screen, on new hardware, and the fact that it’ll now be able to get out to a much wider audience.

Tabata also assured me that Type-0 HD will be a full retail game, and while he couldn’t comment on when we’ll be able to play it, he mentioned that it’s currently about 80% done. From the demo I saw, it looked good and ran super smoothly, but don't expect the kind of visuals we saw at the XV demo back at E3 2013. It's still definitely built upon the foundations of a game from 2011.

Hoping for footage too soon, will be eager to see if it has the same quality as FFXV as the screen shot made it seem
 
Fucked if I'm paying full retail for a handheld up-port is all I can say about this release.

Probably at least a year away anyhow for all it matters.
 
This should release fall 2015 if we analyze the release patterns of KH 1.5/2.5 with FFXV finally "releasing" Q1/Q2 2016. That's my educated guess on the subject.
 
I am glad that the game is on PS4. Full large screen experience FTW. And the Vita users still should be able to use remote play.
 
I am hoping Kagari is wrong about this...

If it is indeed a really high quality remaster in the vein of virtually every other SE remaster out there, i really hope the base game doesn't drag it down. If they have to actually redo things to get the experience to work on a console, they should definitely do that. A lot of us have waited years to experience this game and it should be done right.

Its a PSP game being turned into a PS4 game. Limitations of the base design are going to be there, but hopefully they are smoothed over

They should allocate more people for the Type-0 HD remaster, thus delaying FFXV once again ;D
i'm being sarcastic but nothing surprises me from SE

This makes it more likely that we'll get a look at it next Tuesday at the Sony conference :)

That would be a good place for them to actually announce the product for Japan, yes. It's funny how it technically isn't even announced for Japan yet! Lol.
 
HD GILGAMESH when?

-------------

I've already played the original Type 0 over 50 times. I likely won't care if and when a HD version releases unless they add in the cut content.
 
The thing about Type-0 on the PSP is that it looks surprisingly good when you see it running at a higher resolution

Square had a level of mastery with the PSP hardware that was unmatched. There are some texture issues, but Square made sure to clean those up with their remasters of FFX and KH. So that's not really a worry. This is the one image that we have of Type 0 HD, and it looks fine to me

Obviously if you're expecting somethign like XV you're going to be disappointed, but it seems like it'll deliver if you're just looking for a nice looking game.

Lol, never even thought of that. If they have footage, I don't see why Sony wouldn't show it at their press conference.

I can't imagine this game being all that much of a looker tbh. SE has made quality remasters though, so we'll see.

you know, Vita TV is a thing that exists

Out of nowhere! :0

Almost done? sdkfjsdk

PS4 is going to destroy 2015 with Revelations 2, Type 0 and Bloodborne.

Square Enix and their stupid closed door demos. Fuck them.
 
Was this game well received in japan? I been waiting for it a long time but after never hearing any news of a release in NA I didn't pay attention to it
 
Sounds great! I didn't know PAX even started yet but with the game being 80%, we may actually get it really soon.

I'm shocked, i assumed when wouldn't hear a word about this game for at least a year or two.

This will probably release in 2015, otherwise the current SQEX would very likely not have announced it. The game is already done on a platform that is very easy to port games from and it's a recent game so it won't suffer from being a PS2 or PS3 game (games developed specifically for those two are hard to port, even to this day) or from lost assets like FFX | X-2 HD. They seem to be brushing up some of the assets & maybe improving lighting & other effects. That doesn't seem like too huge of a undertaking. They are remastering two KH games and making an additional movie from a third in about 1,5 years. Remastering one game shouldn't take too long, even if they put a little more effort into it than just HDfying the game like KH2 & BBS.
