FINAL FANTASY (Agito XIII) Type-0 |OT| Occupy Suzaku
- Thread starter Kagari
- Start date
The game looks very action oriented and I love military academies as game settings. How long was it under development?
Also I was wondering and this is a general question for anyone, has or will Square ever consider porting there PSP games to XBLA or PSN? I just think these titles could thrive there.

Technically 3,5 years, but the development didn't really advance for one year because the same team that's responsible for Type-0 worked on 3rd Birthday for a year.Plywood said:
Well, Sony has that PSP Remasters thing and Square Enix is currently HD-fying FFX for PS3 (& Vita) as part of the HD Classics, so there's no reason why they couldn't jump on board the PSP Remasters thing as well (apart from being slow to jump on such things). I don't think an upgraded Type-0 for PS3 (and maybe Vita too) is out of the picture.

Beautiful OP, Kagari 
I'm finally playing the game -- when my old-fashioned discs arrived I was surprised at how unadorned the package was until I remembered that I bought the basic, vanilla game; it's the OST where I stumped up for the LE -- and I'm finding myself utterly unable to import the summer costumes. It tells my that my system data is "broken" (corrupted; hason shite iru) whether I use my own demo data or someone else's.
Anyone else having these problems?

Thank you for posting the link!
I wanted to unlock the costumes but was too lazy to actually fulfill all the requirements in the demo. Didn't enjoy it too much, so it's good to hear the full game seems to be a lot better!
My copy should arrive by next week, looking forward to trying it out.
I'm really glad to hear that the actual game is an improvement over the demo. I guess I should just expect to not trust demos for RPGs. It's so hard to show RPGs in a good light when it's a small section mid-game. Too bad I won't be able to get the game until later... But I've already got so many games I need to finish, it's probably for the best!

Can't wait for this game's US release. I will be buying a Vita for it.

So I've got two questions:
1) How long do you think it'll take for the game to hit North America? We got XIII a mere three months later, but I think that had been decided way in advance. I'm not even sure if localization on Type-0 has even started yet. SE is definitely quiet on the subject.
2) How long before they put it up for PS3 as a PSP remaster game? This is Square Enix; you know they're going to do so with all of their PSP back catalogue at some point.

I can't imagine a game this big (it's no PS3 AAA release, but it's bigger than, say, Blood of Bahamut or Sigma Harmonics) not getting translated into English at all. It might be for the Vita given the way the PSP's status in the West these days, but in one form or another, it'll come.
It's big enough to get an Ultimania -- coming out on 11/24 -- and big enough to get the release-day "halfway" strategy guides like the World Preview and the V-Jump book. None of the never-translated, never-sent-abroad games got those.
Three months from now (
OK, six
But Square Enix Europe has trademarked Type-0, Type-1, Type-2 and maybe onwards. They are going to do it, they are probably just assessing how they'll do it. They coulddramatis said:
1) go with the PSP Remasters route for PS3 (how well did the Monster Hunter Portable 3rd PSP Remaster do?)
2) port to Vita (perhaps with added content/polish)
3) localize the PSP version and give it a UMD release (depends, how well did their PSP games do saleswise 6-12 months ago?)
or any kind of combination of those.

Didn't that one dude say on twitter that he was recording for a new FF game for a character named King some time ago?

Turned out to be a hoax. The image was photoshopped by some guy on GameFAQs.
I'm not worried, really, since the game itself shows a sign that the localization department is working on it:Dunan said:
Of course, we can consider the possibility that the developers walked up to the translator people and told them, "We think some English would look cool with our Japanese" and that resulted in the above, but I'll give them some space
and then it turns out they really just wanted it to look cool

Don't count that out; that's how it was with Valkyria Chronicles 3! Then again, that game's English under-titles were a little dodgy, whereas everything I've seen in FF-0 has been gramatically impeccable.
Also, PSA: Amazon.co.jp is offering the game for Y5880 ($75.50):

Even with international shipping (if they'll ship to you... not sure if they do), that's cheaper than Play-Asia!
Kagari said:
Digital versions, with their lack of reselling rights, need to get a lot cheaper in this era of 2-day Amazon deliveries.
I just wish Amazon still did price guarantees with their own sale prices, as my copy was Y6290 from them (and that felt like a bargain at the time)!

How do they work, out of curiosity? They seemed to be the most intriguing parts out of the game to me.Aeana said:
You start out with your base, and armies continuously set out to attack the current target. The opposing base(s) send out army units as well, and they clash with yours. What you have to do is disrupt the line (with your character's regular attacks and magic) in order to enable your armies to get to the opposing base and begin to capture it. Once they have, you enter it and go through maps and fight a miniboss. After that, you can send your units out from there as well, and you can change the unit type and destination. You do this repeatedly until your forces are big enough to take the main opposing base on the map. There's some other stuff to it but I've only done one and didn't soak up everything the moogle was telling me because I wasn't doing very well to begin with.Dark Schala said:

Oh, I see; that's a little disappointing. I was thinking it was going to be a little different. But it sounds like an interesting take on that sort of thing, albeit a little cumbersome (at least it seems that way).Aeana said:
You're right. It's making me think of Suikoden V's RTS battles (something I had a satisfied/dislike relationship with). If you weren't doing very well and still got an A-Rank, they seem to be pretty forgiving which isn't too bad (though this is probably because it's the first one). Thanks for the impressions.
Aeana said:I actually like the way random encounters are handled on the world map. You enter into a separate battlefield but the way it's done reminds me of Zelda 2 kinda.
Also, I took this screenshot last night because it immediately made me think of FF10:
Aeana, any way you could get a little closer to that sign and take another screenshot? I'm itching to read those letters, which surely say CHOCOBO something; I can see the three Os in the first word!
Sure, when I get back there I'll do that.Dunan said:
Man, I really like how you can level up enemies in random encounters. I don't know if there's a limit or if you get a reward for leveling them to a certain point, because I chickened out after getting the enemies 15 levels above me (fight was really difficult without relying on kill sights). Really cool though.

Mission areas can be somewhat enclosed, but there's a ton to explore.
Hm, so nothing really happens if you keep leveling up random battles all the way. The final 'round' has boss-like enemies with multiple health bars but winning didn't seem to give me anything special. That was very grueling, and I lost a couple of characters. On the other hand, that may be good enough since it would make grinding much, much faster.
I should be doing hw
