It "costs" 6 hours to go outside
Worth noting that a) you get a lot more time in later chapters and b) there's a lot more to actually explore if you wait until later.
If you try to go roaming around in the first few chapters, you have access to like three zones all with boring dominion cities and one cave.
... later you have access to more cloned cities and caves D:

That makes sense, it's going to be a lot of give and take decisions on this stuff. Are there any items only available by getting that SP aND buying at Tha base?
Ouch, so much for grinding everyone's levels. .

Ugh that really sucks.
I really love the game so far but I can only play for up to like an hour before I start to get a headache :'(

You can take people with you and I'm pretty sure you can just go to other towns to switch party members
In the main menu, you can replay past missions to grind everyone up.
Exactly. Utilize the save points in towns to switch outwhen you need to and grind away. Also, while I'm not positive for the rest of the game I've noticed that you're left on the world map after missions which means levelling at no cost.

When did video game guides cost so damn much
I got the type-0 guide gamestop had one for 35 bucks only hard cover. Looked no soft cover.
Before then I went online saw the guide for 25 i think on amazon. Thats like 2 bucks tax and 3 shipping because its not over 35 bucks.
guide retails for 35 buck i guess i got a discount (lol) and paid about 33 for it

The price of the guide on Amazon is why I bought it. Though I already have the game and the guide won't be here until next week. Will probably just play as is, and for the New game plus use it to see what I might have missed.
Same here. I never used Cinque for anything but summon or death fodder on PSP but Cristina Vee makes me have to use her.

so just wondering
? Been having a fun time trying to figure out who i like playing the most, probably king but still trying out everyone.
when will I learn what the deal with all the cadets calling the scientist "Mother" will happen, I feel like i'm watching Advent children with the 3 silvered hair men all over agan
Within a few minutes of playing?
They all call her mother because she's kind of the den mother to their class. She brought them all in and together. It's kind of like a girl scout troop calling their leader 'mother,' except moreso because they all go live at the academy away from any parents they might have
Damn it, why do companies prevent footage capturing of some cutscenes? I wanted to watch the intro credits again and I'm certainly not going to sit through all those cutscenes again. Everything on YouTube either has the music removed due to copyright claims, the footage is skipped because they were recording from their PS4, or its IGN where they talk over the entire thing and take up space on the screen.
On the plus side, I watched the original which has a different intro song and its kind of cool to see how the tone had changed.

I'm not sure, but I think you lost her. I could never find that NPC again at least.
They call her Mother because she took care of them (and trained them) since they were kids, and she's also the one that revives/treats them, it's not like AC =X
I suppose there's more to that answer, but that's the main thing.
You can rewatch videos from the library or the main menu.

Manual for what? The story? Controls? Systems?
I'm pretty sure all of those can be found in the library, yeah.

It is now $20.99 at amazon. If you dont have Prime just price match at best buy and $21 out the door.

Actually, if you equip Jack with the Avoid magic (or whatever it's called in the HD version =X), then the AI does a pretty good job, because whenever he attacks it will deal a lot of damage, and he pretty much never gets hit (upgrade the magic to not use much MP beforehand and he will last pretty much as long as you want). That tip goes for everyone though.
Queen and Rem tend to use magic more, so if you don't care about mana, they're pretty helpful.
But ultimately, none is very good, they're there for you to switch between them.
She can trigger it with Square + forward, if you have it.

It may seem like cheesing but I found one of the better strategies for those having trouble with long missions is throwing the class members you don't use as fodder in the reserve pool and changing to your "advanced guard" of say 6 when needed...

If you run through the game it shouldn't take too long (but the game will be harder since you're not stopping for anything).

She's actually pretty good at it, the little orb that flies around you does a lot of melee range attacks when enemies approach you so it proc a lot of killsights that are during the animation of the attack(like in arena when those guys come try to melee you, they'll explode instantly from the orb attacking them at the same time) and her forward+attack move is pretty fast unlike the rest. She's actually really strong imo, even if the gameplay is a bit boring, the fact she can move around while shooting and her insane stagger rate it seems makes her really strong, plus she can heal for "free" with the healing song.
I mostly play her as a support AI for my melees though, she plays her Concerto song pretty often which gives Aura+Protect to everyone and that's pretty nice. She also has a very large mana pool to cast heals and stuff.

Reached Chapter 4 last night. Still finding it quite enjoyable. I did quite a bit of leveling on Chapter 3 while waiting for the days to pass by and get to the mission section, so my guys were 18-23 when they started the final section of Chapter 3. Still had issues up near the end.
Kept trying to do those special SO challenges and failing, killing my best fighters lol. I love that dynamic personally. Got some pretty good rewards on other quests by doing a bunch of them before finishing.
Oh, and now that I finally figured out that hitting up on D-pad and then down on d-pad will use the equipped item, im not running around like a headless chicken whenever im low on health and no one is healing lol

I'm actually not a big fan of Sice for killsights, her range is surprisingly garbage considering the size of her weapon and she has a fair amount of delay to her attacks. Her dodge animation is godlike though so you can get in good positions very quickly so it generally works out fine, and her tornado thing when you have Aura+a bunch of malice charged is completely broken damage wise, so that's a good plus.
I alternate between Sice and Queen for my "main" char, I think Queen's better overall, she has the meh dodge roll but she can teleport right into melee range and her attacks are extremely fast, plus she mixes some magic stuff in there so you get good damage even against physical resistant enemies.
Btw am I supposed to find new weapons at some point? I'm still using the starting ones cause I'm cheap and didn't want to buy the very first vendor ones, and I haven't bothered doing SPP farming for the weapons from these, but I'm at like Chapter4 and I haven't seen anything else(vendor might have been upgraded though I came back to town and didn't check). Luckily it doesn't really seem to matter as I kill most mobs in 2-3hits(or 1 when Sice is charged up) which means killsights are 1hit kills instead of the yellow ones other than bosses and what not.
This so much this. I love Vee, respect Vee, even have stuff signed by Vee. (I follow her on twitter too) But folks fanboying the dub based off the actor/actresses alone IE some folks so happy that Heather Hogan/Colette is in this, yet not realizing how atrocious the Voice Direction is, is just absolutely blind and ignorant.
OK, I haven't been able to find anyone with the same problem but is the game freezing periodically for anyone else? It happens ever so often but the game just hangs for a few seconds (doesn't affect the music or seemingly anything else) and then returns to normal.
I'm playing a US Xbox One digital copy on a UK Xbox and I've tried redownloading and installing it to no avail. None of my other titles do this (Type-0 happens to be my first US digital copy as that's what my PR contact sent) and it's really frustrating as I have no idea why it is happening! I know people use the US and other stores all the time without any issues, too. Any help would be great. Really taking the shine off the game as you can imagine.

I like this game 10x better than Final Fantasy XIII. My Steam timer for FF13 says 29 hour, I think I'm about halfway through. I literally got there by switching paradigms occasionally and then mashing the auto-combat button repeatedly. So, so boring game.
FF Type-0 however.. I love the combat system. But at the same time this game is hard! I just completed chapter 2, and I almost failed the last mission of the chapter because
.
So, here is my question...how much grinding and world exploration is required? Some of my cadets have extremely hard time surviving in arena combat simulations. I die 30 seconds in or so. Are my skill configurations or gear inadequate? Am I playing wrong? Or is the game just that hard? I'm playing on "Officer" difficulty.
Also, are the expert trials possible to when my cadets are 20 levels below the trial levels?

There are more weapons, but I don't remember exactly when they start appearing (you might have unlocked something at one city or another, check the vendors in those.
Also, your gil in that game cries whenever you need to upgrade equipment in this game (unless you're not upgrading all 14 characters).
Yup. Square's localization teams are awful. I'm starting to think that the only reason KH games still come out with good VA over here is because of Disney.
They got a bunch of good VAs too...
I'm pretty sure you're the first one with that issue man.
At least the first one I've seen.
Might be a problem with your disc.
No grinding is really required.
The only thing is how big you keep your team. If you do sidequests and go to dungeons and whatnot, then keeping 6~9 characters leveled should be easy and requires no grinding whatsoever. If you just rush through the story, then it might be harder, so keep a team of 3-ish.
One time the game completely froze while i was going through the menus (xbone ver) but that's all so far

The game is relatively difficult, but I don't find the combat simulation to be a good gauge, you won't ever fight alone and while the AI is derp derp at times, if you have them set with Cure they will heal you fairly often so you don't have to heal yourself, plus they also kill/distract stuff, and there's no permanently spawning enemies besides boss fights, you fight for a little while then it stops and you can heal back to full, while the simulation just keeps going forever.
That said, mastering each playstyle you can definitely last for a while, and with some of them you can last forever once you unlock specific skills that give you sustain(for example Sice has an aoe that drains life and only costs AG, making it very easy to live forever as long as you're not getting crushed).

Thank you for the answers. Sounds like I'm playing with wrong mindset, I'll have a second look at my cadet configurations when I play the next time.

So is there like a general rule of how I should spend my time?
I'm ignoring the question marks from generic charcters unless Class 0 is around them.
I only just beat the first mission outside of school.

Focus on Moglin's Lessons (make sure you have subtitles on!) then those from classmates. After that, Requests. Make certain you speak with the Mog right in front of the Great Portal too!
Talk to everybody unless you specifically need the time. Question marks don't cost any time.

So do I need to worry in particular about leveling up my team? I'm on cadet.
I already know i'm skipping those sorties. Just did one and was not at all fun.
Keep your main team at least 2 levels from the recommendation at each mission.
