Final Fantasy Type-0 HD PS4/Xbox One vs PSP 1080p Comparison Trailer Shows Impressive Difference

Many think that Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is just a remaster with higher resolution and a few improved textures over the PSP version, but that’s definitely not true.

Although a pathetic excuse...i understand why Square decided not to release on vita...they want to promote the ff15 demo...but why not pc????

NoctisPendragon3712d ago

Music , the problem whit those kind of port is often Music right.

Becuzisaid3712d ago

Sony third party team should have made a deal to develop our publish a vita version like they are with Revelations 2

Qrphe3712d ago

Since they obviously have the resources to port any game they want, it comes down to sales expectations of why they won't port to PC just yet. Whether you want it or not, piracy is an issue that Japanese developers are very sensitive to.

Rik_Mayall3712d ago

Way to generalise race on piracy matters.

joab7773712d ago

That's it exactly. I have wondered, what would make them take a PS4 game and remaster for a western release? Oh...yeah, couple a FF15 demo and...cha ching!

And I really want to buy it and get the demo, but Im not paying full retail when Bloodborne is coming. If Square is smart, after they sell a ton of 0, they will release FF15 demo for everyone.

There was a 15 minutes gameplay video posted recently somewhere around, and the graphics were more reminescent of PS3 times. The battles themselves use very small maps for a rather archaic looking combat.

The main reason I'm not getting this though are the permanent deaths. I hate to lose characters I've spent hours knowing and training. And what if it will be necessary/useful later? Knowing myself, I'd just keep reloading the last save to not lose anyone, and it's said characters are prone to deaths in this game.

FullmetalRoyale3712d ago

If your character falls in battle, he/she cannot be used until that mission is over.

It is not a permanent death, not even close.

Viryu3712d ago

Ooooooh, from one of the previews I've read, I thought it was completely permanent. I might think about it, but I'm still hesitant because of the smallish maps.

FullmetalRoyale3712d ago

If you're hesitant, you shouldn't buy it.

kowan3712d ago

The maps are small because it was originally a PSP game. Changing the map size and such would mean remaking the whole game from scratch.

kevnb3712d ago

Games rendered at much higher resolution look better? Shocking!

kowan3712d ago

Well they also added a lot of post-processing effects(High quality anti-aliasing(no jaggies), high quality motion blur, dynamic lighting(every light source produces realistic lighting on the everything and produces shadows), dynamic shadowing, etc.) usually used in CGI sequences. They also replaced the main characters model with the high quality models they used in the CGI movie cutscenes. Which makes the difference even bigger. That said, it would have been better if they improved everyone else's 3D model and not just the main characters.

Tapani3711d ago (Edited 3711d ago )

Basically, they just used already existing assets and swapped them to higher quality ones in-game. Plus, some added effects. It's like using GeDoSaTo with Type-0 :P

Well, surely they did polish other stuff as well. I just wanted even more...

MetalArcade3712d ago

really wish they would have put this much effort into the FFX/X2 remaster and also ported that to PS4.

Clown_Syndr0me3712d ago

The only thing I found impressive was how good the PSP version looked...

HammadTheBeast3712d ago

Yeah the PSP version looked great, but the PS4 one looks more like it's a PS3 one.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Review – Zero Regrets

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.

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.

90°

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_drake687d ago

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

H9687d 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
