I'll never understand why Kagari keeps saying Type-0 is like FFX HD when screenshots and handson all say is something in which they've definitely put more efforts in. Well, I guess in few hours I'll see for myself.

Also... the teasing of Duckroll about other news coming with FFXV are true or just trolling? I'd love that to become a toriyama-sort-of-related-news-on-the-new-project.

7) Are they adding any new content that wasn't in the PSP version?

Nope. No new story or challenge modes or anything like that. The three main differences are A) high-definition graphics; B) new controls for traditional controllers; and C) difficulty modes, because a lot of Japanese fans told Square Enix that Type-0 was just too hard.

8) Does the game look good?

I think so. Don't expect a traditional Final Fantasy here, and don't expect something that pushes the boundaries of what the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can do—this is a remake of a PSP game, after all—but the few minutes I saw of Type-0 made me want to play more.

Nothing that I have seen anywhere indicates anything other than a traditional remaster. Square has a solid track record with hiring good devs to make quality remasters, but nothing indicates that it is anything more than what we have seen from them before.

You realize a lot of textures, water effects and even the main character models were completely redone for FFX HD right?

Do you realize that making a PS2 game looking a bit better on a Ps3 is not exactly like making a PSP game appealing on a Ps4? It's a given that they've put more efforts in it for this:

to turn into something like this:

When you compare the original FFX with the HD, you get to see some improvements but nothing ground-breaking like this.

My question is this: did you see the game remade or not? Did you get to see the 20 mins demo?

 

[HeelPower]

People are grossly underestimating the amount of work done into FFX HD.

The amount of work that into the backgrounds and every little detail is actually huge.

The water looked nothing like that back then and neither did the amazingly textured backgrounds in many parts of the remaster.

That is not what the PS2 game looks like people..lol

Do you realize that making a PS2 game looking a bit better on a Ps3 is not exactly like making a PSP game appealing on a Ps4? It's a given that they've put more efforts in it for this:

FFX HD was a very extensive remaster and it ended up looking better than many PS360 games(its actually probably high tier)

Don't let the dated animations and some of the weird faces tell you other wise.

 

[theofficefan99]

Lucky is not even the correct word, the mercy that Duckroll has exhibited today is just like you said he's in a very good mood otherwise the hand of god would've banned him on the spot. Talking bad about Kagari is blasphamous.

I don't know what I was thinking TBH and I know how strict the mods are here

I don't understand what is wrong with FFX HD? It was a great remaster of the PS2 game. Type-0 should be the same, and less like Kingdom Hearts HD releases.

 

[Perfo]

FFX HD it's a fantastic remaster (except for the faces, those were terrible). But Type-0 HD – if the screenshots are real – looks thousands times better than that. This is what I see: Type-HD > FFX HD > FFX > Type-0 PSP.

 

[wmlk]

SE doesn't have to work with those stupid FFX fish lips this time.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

but you could feel it in the air last night, right ?

I don't know why but there was a strange disturbance of psychic energy this time around.Different but not unlike that of E3 2013.

A certain restlessness that ended with materialization of the actual demo.

The hype ritual worked at last.

when that hype hits..its over

 

[Brazil]

What in the fuck.

The blind hype begins anew.

 

[Cloud Strife]

It shouldn't be about them being strict, we're all here to have fun and there shouldn't be a difference in how excited we all are for the game, be it on FAQS or GAF.

Random hatred for "insiders" and this thing where people tend to get pissed off like "omg he/she is totally wrong about X game and everyone believes him/her, but not me!" that tends to happen shouldn't. Let's all just enjoy the news we get without bashing each other, regardless of whether you trust someone or not.

 

[HeelPower]

But Type-0 HD – if the screenshots are real – looks thousands better than that.

We haven't seen anything that indicates that.

Btw you need to observe the textures and the water quality in some sections of FFXHD.

Particularly the Ship you board from besaid to kilika.

There are some amazing textures in the background.

I 100% agree and it was wrong of me to do so. I'd like to start off with a clean slate and just talk about GAMES, what this site is all about.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Its like Y2kev's relationship with The Last Guardian but less extreme.

I'm not crazy. This is the truth that must not be contained any longer.

You must click at your peril for once you realize who it is you won't know what to believe anymore or who to trust. I'm a mere tool in his cog.

Behold the true leader of the Versus brotherhood who has been there since day-0. The one who will bring us and promise a road to release from this day forth.

That single pond and reflections in the Type-0 screen already look better than anything I've seen in FFX. And again: we're talking of a game that comes from PSP, so the rebuilding must've been heavier for it to end up looking like in that screen. Also every hands-on, regarding of the wording, states in one way or another that the game really looks good on the new gen. Something I'll never say about a game like the original type-0 running at higher res. because it'll be... sincerely... disgusting. So 2 things: or they're crazy the one saying that looks like a PSP remaster (a la God of War) or the screenshots are fake. No other way.

[KojiKnight]

I was thinking about trying to find a japanese UMD and applying the translation to Type-0... but that release is actually a lot closer than I thought it'd be so I think I'll wait it out.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

which timeline do you prefer? the one that we get FFXV or the one that the game gets canceled?..or worse mobile ;P

Duckroll aka Neo is the chosen one now?!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Also with Type-0 you guys might as well just wait 1 more day to form a conclusion as opposed to comparing XHD to some bizarre looking photo mock image with some text over it.

We shall see.

Its hard to tell from that one screenshot ,but I have faith that its going to look good in the end.

but its important to keep in mind it probably won't even look like,say, FFXIII.

The person in question holds an incredibly strong interest in the game but doesn't realize how important the title is to them. They've become so fearful of the project falling apart that he/she began to troll the game in an attempt to subconsciously protect themselves from being hurt by disappoint.

Dude. Three screenshots can't even make a sentence. Skepticism is the safe route to go here.

 

[HeelPower]

Duckroll is the the overseer of gaming in general.

A higher power we cannot fathom or be remotely within true reach.

This is but a ruse

I can already imagine the incoming wait for the XV demo after Type O releases. Still, hype I guess.

 

[stargateheaven]

We will get new pics at TGS i guess.

 

[duckroll]

FF Type-0 already has really good assets for a PSP game. It looks great on an emulator without any sort of effort. Tabata said they're using cutscene models for the gameplay this time, which suggests they're getting a substantial upgrade without having to actually create a ton of new assets in HD. If this is a full remake, they would be redoing all the levels and the missions so it wouldn't feel restrained by it's PSP origins. But I don't think they're doing that. Narrow areas will still feel very narrow, and wide open areas will still feel really empty. If it's a full remake, Tabata and S-E's PR would probably be shouting it from the rooftops. Instead they just keep repeating "DX11" like it's some magic mantra.

Here's how Type-0 looks on an emu. Judge for yourself!

if the game is releasing in march expect a trailer.

People keep mentioning something being at 8 pm PST, so 11 EST and 10 central, but I'm not sure what the thing is supposed to be. I haven't been paying attention.

Realistically what we can expect is that when TGS starts, the PR for unannounced stuff will start rolling out from various Japanese news sites since they're attending the show and stuff will be on the show floor. That's what usually happens every year. So in 7-8 hours we'll know what are at the booths and so on.

 

[Past]

Is it coming out in Japan too or no? Pretty odd they would announce the release date for NA in a Japanese show.

Ah, gotchya. Makes sense. Waiting game time.

 

[Lucent]

No. Dragon Quest VIII included a Final Fantasy XII demo.

Also, Brave Fencer Musashi included a demo for FF8.

 

[jschreier]

I remember that one. It was the Dollet mission, but with characters and GFs you weren't actually supposed to have at that point IIRC.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

In a way the Japanese audience already played the game, so this game might be very low on their radar or no interest at all, you can also take into consideration the desire the NA audience wants for a rpg on next gen consoles plus the console market is booming here compared to the sad state of affairs in Japan.

 

[Famassu]

Is it coming out in Japan too or no? Pretty odd they would announce the release date for NA in a Japanese show.

Game Informer is a western gaming site so they report the North American release date. SQEX will of course issue a press release with whatever information they want to reveal during TGS, including the Japanese release date.

 

[MilesTeg]

Maybe there is hope for seeing significant footage/information of FFXV shortly. That's the only reasoning I got.

Alrighty, here we go then.

 

[jorgeton]

And Tobal No. 1 came with an FF7 demo back in olden times.

So if FFXV is indeed showing up with a new trailer, we should expect that new trailer to show up around 8 PM-12 AM PST?

Yeah, you had Squall, Rinoa and Irvine, something like that

And the music track which was right out of The Rock! I think they removed that from the final game too after people noticed. Lol.
