"Final Fantasy Type-0 begins with a dying Chocobo.
As someone who has been with the beloved Final Fantasy franchise since its beginning, and as someone who has spent an inordinate amount of time breeding Chocobos in various titles, this was devastating. I have never seen a Chocobo with a spec of blood on it, let alone one dying, so it’s confronting that director Hajime Tabata has chosen to open Type-0 with this jarring image.
Final Fantasy Type-0 launched for PlayStation Portable in Japan in 2011. The HD version is slated to hit PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 17. It’s not a numbered entry in the mainline Final Fantasy series, which means that as a spin-off it’s allowed to take some liberties and risks. In this case, making a Chocobo a very graphic casualty of war."
Gary Green said: After finally getting the long-overdue platinum trophies for Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and XV, I wondered if I could manage another. Despite a few blunders, it’s a franchise worth showing off in your collection. I had to find another game with a realistically achievable platinum, which sadly rules out quite a few. Fortunately, I didn’t have far to look as I dusted off Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, which was, in fact, my very first PS4 game, and one that’s aging surprisingly well.
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
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 PC port of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD had many problems, and now a new mod fixes them and lets you play at 120 FPS.
120fps is overrated and totally unnecessary for these types of games . 60fps is more than plenty
One of the worst overhyped FF games with garbage story , people made a mistake hyping this up
