Just started chapter 4 last night. Feels like things are really kicking into gear. Been enjoying the play through so far, but I can already tell that I'm going to have to do a 2nd.
In an interview with Famitsu last week, they pretty much said that you can only say you've beaten Type Zero after playing it a second time.

Is this game difficult for those that don't understand Japanese? Would it even be worth playing it using some sort of guide? I'm just wondering if this thing will be localized.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I remember after FFXIII launch, you saying you're not interested in doing the OP for FFXIII-2... what made you change your mindKagari said:Just wait until you see what's coming for FFXIII-2's OP
?All things considered, I really enjoyed the game. I started my second cycle tonight.
The one thing that really has left a sour taste is the amount of things locked away via multiplayer. You miss out on a ton of weapons, costumes, magic, etc. Sucks to have to resort to codes to unlock things but for some people it is just the only way.
Another minor gripe I have is no adjustable difficulty for missions on second cycle. Especially since you can change it when replaying missions from the main menu.

XLink Kai and AdHoc party is incredibly fun with this If your having a local multiplayer issue. Need to start the thing during Japan time though.

I just checked videos out for this for the first time. Dammit. This looks like what I would have wanted instead of FFXIII! Hopefully versus is this cool looking...

Do you need anything special to get multiplayer going? I tried doing it the regular way (turned on the PSP's WLAN switch, selected the appropriate menus) but the moogle running the show couldn't find any missions for me to do.
Could this be because I'm on CFW? The game says that if the UMD is removed, your mission will abruptly end, and my PSP's laser has the annoying habit of failing to see the UMD every 10-20 minutes or so ("Would you like to quit the game?" - No, PSP, now stop bothering me!) so I'd like to avoid going back to OFW and playing with the UMD in.
There have been more then a few posts calling SE good since XIII including XIII being good. Remember for as much flack as it got it still got number 15 on te GoTY hear.Shadow780 said:
Honestly though it gets old talking about a game when a meer mention usually follows by a dozen people calling it a piece of shit and calling you out for liking it.
That said, we still have plenty of SE fans around who do pop up their heads from time to time.
Shadow780 said:
Count me in with them; for those of us who didn't like FFXIII, this game is a big step toward making SE games hype-worthy again.
@Lucis - Ah ha; didn't know about the ad hoc distinction. The only oneline experience I have with my PSP is with Wipeout Pulse, and with that game my playing partners were very, very far from me.

Disk 2- Track 15 (Battle- Birth of Darkness) of the soundtrack is probably one of my new favorite FF songs. Sounds so epic and emotional. Makes me really want to play the game.

Not all of us obsess over the bad. Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Tactics Ogre: LUCT, The World Ends With You, Dissidia etc. are some of the best games on their respective platforms (and from the comments it seems Type-0 is up there too) and they have a promising slate of upcoming stuff (Versus, KH3D, XIV 2.0 & even XIII-2, at least gameplay-wise). Then there are games like 3rd Birthday & Crisis Core which, while flawed, are decent too. XIII was somewhat of a rushjob, so it's no wonder it wasn't up to standards. XIII-2 shows what they can do when they have a bit more time and without all the problems they had with XIII's development, and also that they listen to their fans, unlike certain other companies who insist on continuing on the road they've chosen no matter what the fans say.TruePrime said:
The worst things Square Enix has done is not that they have developed a lot of bad games (though, there are those too), but mostly the stupid outsourcing/publishing decisions they've done. Shit like Front Mission Evolved shouldn't have happened or at least it should never have been given to Double Helix (don't really mind that it wasn't a strategy RPG, just that it wasn't a good mecha action game).

I tend to agree with this. As another example, Mindjack was a fairly interesting concept that probably could have been better executed by anyone OTHER than FeelPlus.

This sentence tells me more than enough of what I need to know about this game. Sounds highly impressive
Argh, the fact that
really annoyed me. Wish I knew that earlier (don't know if they said it before and I just skimmed through that), because now I have to repeat the whole mission again, as it was impossible to complete with my setting.
Edit:
Argh, hate this misson, bosses killing you with one hit suck.
I have to split my team into 2 in chapter 5

I personally felt that FeelPlus' talent was wasted for this game, for a genre they simply weren't talented for.
These are Shadow Hearts and Lost Odyssey's developer, and should've been developing a new RPG instead... I wonder what they're up to now that they've been absorbed into AQ.
Woof, the final episode is
Ending:
very anticlimatic. I loved the "World War" setting (episodes 5 and 6 are fantastic) but I don't like this at all. Suddenly there's a lot of mindfuck out of nowhere and it reminds me of... The 3rd Birthday :\
I hope this ends well :\

Ending:
Holy shit, it doesn't end well 
Good game but not what i was expecting. The final episode and the ending doesn't feel right.

the Tower of Agito
I ran away very quickly.
There's a few other areas with enemies not QUITE as strong, but still a fair amount higher than the average player is going to go in one playthrough.
Ah, thanks for the answers, shouldn't be a problem then.
For all the ones interested - I've spent the last hour trying out the SE Type-0 Member's Site that allows you to exchange tickets for items (link). You get said tickets by uploading your data, entering the player code (in game's main menu select Options -> Members and do what they tell you to), post on the BBS, register points for the game/soundtrack (if you have the PSN version there's an option to link your PSN and SE Members Jp account here).
After a bit of meddling I downloaded 5 weapons on my PSP. All I have to say is that if you've bought the weapons from merchants in one of the cities in Chapter 6 or 7 (not sure), don't bother with this site. Yeah, you can get 30 fantomas for 1 point and 3 or 5 Dash Chocobos for 3 tickets, but all the weapons are worse than the ones you can buy. Meh.
Oh, if you upload the data before 15th I think and the site reaches a set number of total uploads, you'll be eligible for 5 free last elixirs or something.

Keiician, thanks for the info!
I hadn't bother linking everything together despite owning the game and the soundtrack and being a member of SE Japan's web community.
Played a whole bunch of multiplayer last night and it can get a little frustrating when you're with people more than 5-10 levels above you -- you die, a lot, and you don't get to spend SPP that are lost when you die. One-shot over and over again by things like stray bullets. Finally I found a group with levels comparable to mine, and had fun running through the Dogoreth mission a few times.
Now I'm at the mission in the latter half of Chapter 3, and there's a scene that feels like a direct homage to FF6:
. Got stuck in this mission with too few people alive to handle the Colossi,
, and am about to try it again.

you ride a Magitek Armor-like vehicle through a snowfield in a way that very much resembles the march to Narshe that opens that game
and would like to complete it without slaughtering those unarmed technicians in the laboratories

look at history encyclopedia for the game http://wikiwiki.jp/ff0/?%CE%F2%BB%CB%2F%CE%F2%BB%CB%A5%CE%B5%AD%CF%BF look at the end, after finishing the first play you unlock 真の章, which opens a lot of question, and the existance of
TIS and JOKER (wtf is TIS anyways)
B.K. said:
well,it's on youtube
however i have no clue what i just saw lol,it's no epic teaser like in the kh games,it's lighthearted comedy that shows
the members of class zero during their daily school life
though i don't know if it's canon or indeed a "what if" scenario,wouldn't watch it if you don't want to spoil yourself which characters may survive
Jigsaw said:
none of the actual 12 of them in the real game, unelss there's a third ending lol, this game is basically describe a part of a eternal cycle of search of agito, which apparently has happened for 6 trillion times lol, the what if you saw might not be the actual thing, there was a part of it described in the normal ending, which was ace's dream
Jigsaw said:
The alt ending probably is
another loop in the Type-0 tragedy
Also about the second run:
Tiz and Joker are Arecia agents in Suzaku/Byakko and they force the "good ending" in the second playthrough or something, right? And WTF is Arecia? is she Etro?
Damn, what a weird... everything.

Goddess fal'cie I guess? How the hell do you get people out of Crystal state without being one? >.>
Oh and I was expecting more of a challenge with that final boss, all the annoying SO were more difficult lol.
Ok, I've just cleared the game for the first time.
Question for the people who are now on their 2nd play through - does anything change regarding the story (I'm not asking about the ending, just the stuff before), or is it just that you're able to do those missions with high level requirements etc.?
So true...
