  I’m not that impressed by the PC port of Type-0, either. ...Square Enix is slowly getting there with moving its colossal back catalogue onto PC, but Type-0 does not represent Final Fantasy at its best. I think existing fans will enjoy the combat system, but I couldn’t recommend this limited action RPG to anyone as a starting point for the series.

  While it doesn’t look as good as Square Enix’s previous PSP remaster Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, you can really tell they did a good job on making this look pretty on current-gen consoles. ...I definitely would recommend picking up Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, as it features a decent story, a solid cast of characters, fun gameplay and tons of replayablity value mainly due to the New Game+ content that adds even more story.

  A lot of this game's PSP heritage appears to be on display. While the characters appear to look fine for an HD remaster, many of the environments and menus look awkward and even blurry. The gameplay has several moments of frustration, especially with AI not always knowing when to heal you. This would normally be alleviated by grabbing a partner for co-op, but that aspect of the game was stripped away for the HD remaster for reasons that leave me scratching my head.

  With all that Type-0 does to freshen up the franchise, it also has some elements that come off as decidedly old-school. You’ll feel those out-of-date remnants of past RPGs as you slowly trudge from location to location in the unremarkable overworld or deal with the game’s outdated quest system. Type-0 doesn’t always hold your hand on what you’re supposed to be doing next or what all those names and terms it just threw at you mean, and all of it can be somewhat overwhelming or bewildering at times.

  It's been a long time coming, and by and large Final Fantasy Type 0 is worth the wait. Despite some dated visuals and mechanics better suited for a last-generation portable system, and despite being greatly overshadowed by the Final Fantasy XV demo it ships with, Type 0 deserves the attention and respect of Final Fantasy fans.

  With a darker tone and war themed setting, Type-0 shows a dreadful and horrifying side of the world, but also the hidden beauty within it. Aside from the wonky camera, the battles are fast-paced and rewarding that makes the game stand out amongst other Final Fantasy titles giving a unique experience. Whether you’re a Final Fantasy fan or just in need of some action-packed battles, check out Final Fantasy Type-0 HD.
