Final Fantasy Fans Petition For Type-0 With The Power of Twitter and Facebook

PlayStation Euphoria: Final Fantasy Type-0 is an entry in the Fabula Nova Crystallis series for the PlayStation Portable. With a focus on party based action gameplay, Final Fantasy Type-0 seemed like an excellent entry for Final Fantasy and after playing the Japanese demo, this was the most promising title for the franchise within this generation, in my opinion. This game, sadly, has never been released for the West as the PlayStation Vita began to take shape. However, with the digital release of Final Fantasy III for the PSP not so long ago, there still is hope. One petition group who plans to get this Final Fantasy game localized is Operation Suzaku with their new Twitter campaign.

Think Sony should just localize it, like Nintendo did for Bravery:Default.

chrispseuphoria4011d ago

Sony did publish Kingdom Hearts in Europe so it could happen!

jujubee884011d ago

SCEA and SCEE could publish it on PS Store and call it a PS VITA "digital exclusive".

Seems simple enough. Well. I mean, it still needs to be translated and SE prob needs to waive those rights to allow for Sony to publish it that way.

"we have money!" :D

I think it's about enough to convince Squeenix.

According to one of our sources, Square Enix and Sony failed to reach an agreement. The PSP market was already dead in late 2011 overseas and the PSVita market was (and is) moribund.

But the localization is already done. Two voice actors broke their NDA to let us know their worked on the game between Nov. 2011 and Jan. 2012.

I've played the Japanese version, and this game is truly great. One of the best Final Fantasies since 9.

belac094010d ago

i have it too, it would be soooo AMAZING if i could understand it, even though i cant it is still THE best psp game.

Majin-vegeta4011d ago

Maybe now with WADA gone it could happen.

Prodigy-X4011d ago

E3 will reveal all for the long awaited FF Type-0 & Versus 13 at Sony's press conference.

Pozzle4011d ago

When have Square Enix ever listened to petitions though? :(

jc485734011d ago (Edited 4011d ago )

they probably did in the past, but I don't remember what game that was. It's not that they didn't listen, but no one used social media to get their attention. If they did in the past, then I should've heard of one because I really wanted Front Mission 5 localized. I ended importing the game. Very disappointed for those that didn't care.

zerocrossing4010d ago (Edited 4010d ago )

I have heard rumour that one of the reasons FF type-0 hasn't been localised yet may be due to a licensing issue regarding a specific song from the Japanese band "Bump of Chicken" it's supposedly sung by a character (or characters) in game and has highly prominent connotations to the story/plot, If they haven't gotten the rights to translate the song or even use it in its current form outside of Japan then this may mean FF type-0 is effectively stuck in localisation limbo :/

OperationSuzaku4009d ago

Actually, it was not a rumor but a hypothesis from RPGLand.com.
According to our sources, the moribund PSVita market is the main issue here.

Panthers4010d ago

When have Square Enix ever listened to its fans period? They were so worried about getting new fans, they turned their backs on their old ones.

OperationSuzaku4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

I have feedback from Square Enix, they are listening to us. We have now to convince them...

ErzaScarlet4011d ago

You guys will be the luckiest if SE listen to your petition.. But I doubt it SE will listen..

How Final Fantasy’s First M-Rated Game Laid the Foundation for XVI’s Dark Tone

Final Fantasy XVI demonstrates how the franchise has matured since the release of its first M-rated installment, Final Fantasy Type-0.

Type-0 Is The Darkest Final Fantasy Ever Made

DS: “I hate that Type-0 is forgotten among the Final Fantasy games. While not the strongest entry, its mature story makes it stand out from the others. And even though Final Fantasy now has three rated M games — including Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Final Fantasy XVI, — Type-0 will always have the crown of being the first, and arguably the darkest.”

i agree that it is indeed dark, but it has its issues.

and i feel like the ending is what makes it really a dark final fantasy game.

the rest is more or less war where teenagers fight.

This game was the epitome of the FF dark age pretty much, was hella boring and the gameplay was tedious. I'm glad SE got the series back on track

gold_drake312d ago

well, it was more of a spin off rly.
especially after they dropped the fabula nova crystalis stuff

H9312d ago

I actually really love this game, the main problem however was that the entire story and personality of the characters, was in the lore that you need to dig very deep to find and external materials outside of the game, honestly it has my favorite lore in the franchise, I wish they had made the game more story focused, god it would have been a masterpiece

The Best Final Fantasy Spin-Off Titles Ever Released

Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.

First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.

But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."

I enjoyed World of Final Fantasy and I love Crisis Core

SDuck1150d ago

Do you even know what a spinoff is?

FallenAngel19841150d ago

Do you? if you even have to ask that

FallenAngel19841149d ago (Edited 1149d ago )

@ cool

It’s more than just having characters. KH uses various gameplay mechanics, themes, terminology, & aesthetics from FF.

It just happens to be a spin-off that’s also a crossover, similar to fellow spin-off crossover titles such as Pokémon Conquest, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle, & Warriors All Stars

coolfool1150d ago

Does including characters from a game make it a spin off? If so, is Smash Bros a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid? 😕

Nerdmaster1150d ago (Edited 1150d ago )

I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).

About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
