Give me transfarring option so I can play this on the go too.
Has anyone figured out how you unlock the Summer Clothing?
Not sure why I even want it because I doubt I could transfer it over to the US Version. Nor do I even have guarantees I can play it on the PSP even if it does make it to the West.
Just curious I guess what I should be looking out for.

how do you guys like the S.O. system?
for me, it is too harsh.
(1) it always bumps out during battles, and you have to open the window while the battle is still going on if you consider to accept. so there is NO time to read the requirements....
(2) fail to complete the mission always gets death penalty..this is too much.....

SO is fine for me, u can ignore them if you don't feel comfortable opening them while you're in battle, or just hide away for a few seconds so you can read them safely.
Summons on the otherhand are worse IMO. After summoning, your character is a guaranteed death when the timer is up, so I haven't really use them much.
Huh. Well that's the first time I've ever seen a PSP game crash.
Anyway, what team did this game? It feels more like a Kingdom Hearts/Versus XIII team action RPG than a traditional Final Fantasy but with a lot more depth I also actually don't mind the camera. I'm fine with just having a "center camera" button as a lot of Japanese games do. Could be worth it if it were released in a language that I could understand.
I'm also convinced that Square Enix have become wizards with the PSP hardware - and judging by FFXIII's visuals maybe in general (except when it comes to the Xbox 360). Maybe it's just that all the A-list Japanese teams developing on the PSP have been able to unlock it's full potential. Peace Walker looked amazing for a PSP game too if you ask me.

WHOA at those screenshots!
Almost makes me want to toss aside my resale rights and buy the digital version so that it'll be playable on the Vita -- that really looks amazing. You can even see the pattern lines in Rem's socks
!
One question: is there any reason why the small fonts used in the character names and HP totals at the bottom seems to be pixel-perfect for the names and antialiased for the other things? They're different fonts - the names have gradients and use more colors - but are they being handled differently for some reason?
Regarding the S.O. system, I find it very annoying and difficult to deal with, not least because I can't read Japanese as quickly as I can read English, and since the game doesn't pase while you read, every fraction of a second counts.
It's probably way too late in development for this, but I'd prefer if the SO instructions were read to you, speakerphone style. It would be a little more realistic than having soldiers stopping on the battlefield to look at their cell phones.
(Actually, maybe not. Japanese people seem to have no compunctions about stopping in the middle of anything to look at their cell phones.)
Still, a distinctive chime followed by a voice coming through on the radio with the Special Orders would be better from a playability standpoint.
Hold on a minute; フォース isn't necessarily more "correct" than フォルス. Japanese favored British pronunciations when they first started teaching English before WWII, and words containing "r" after a vowel generally dropped it, RP-style, but the American pronunciation of "force" is closer to フォルス and I'm happy to see that. Similarly, ケアル is a pretty good approximation of "care" (which is what I initially assumed it came from).
Supposedly デジョン was a contraction of "de-" plus "dungeon", which makes sense in a way. In this no-longer-restricted-to-four-characters age, though, I wish they'd use a more realistic word.
I think I've found a possibility here: German changes /s/ to /ʃ/ before /t/ as a general rule, as opposed to English which only does it in /str/ clusters. Where we say "Stein" as [stain] in English, German says [ʃtain]. If German adopted and assimilated the word peristilium (with i rather than y; German has that latter sound with the u-umlaut), then that pronunciation could go into katakana as ペリシティリウム.
Even then, ペリシュティリウム, with "shu" instead of "shi", would probably be more likely. But it's an explanation, at least.

Well, first, in the case of force, it's more of an issue of consistency than anything else. They shouldn't use both.Dunan said:
I've heard the "care" argument before, but to be honest it has always struck me as people trying to make excuses for infallible Japanese developers. And it's just as poor of an approximation of care as it is cure. Care should be written ケア. Fact is, though, that misapproximation of words in katakana is incredibly common so unless the person who came up with it says (as with the ones below), we'll never know.
As for デジョン, that is correct. It was actually talked about in an interview at one point. The meanings of エスナ and バスナ were also discussed there. (S-na and BS-na, S being status and BS being battle status).

I've started to believe that this might be the case as well. But this is me being optimistic, of course. Id love to buy this on Vita, even if Im importing the JP version for PSP.Kagari said:
I agree with this. I don't mind the SO system in terms of a quest system because sometimes they're kind of cool. But since I'm not as fluent in Japanese as I am in English or French, my reading skills aren't quick enough to read the mission objective sometimes either. I get that action is supposed to be fluid, especially taking multiplayer into account, but it'd be great if it the mission was read aloud to you at the very least.Dunan said:
And the penalty for failing the SO is a little harsh, but I can deal with that.
Is that so? That makes sense. I guess they want to stick with it for some sort of familiarity/consistency throughout the series. And yeah, "Force" is more of a consistency thing than anything else. It's odd that both are used for the same word in the same game series to me. Unless it's a phonological issue that I'm not aware of.
But even if that theory makes sense (and it theoretically might be the case) why would they use the German pronunciation rather than a US/CDN/UK variant? It strikes me as a little odd.
When words are borrowed from different languages, primarily English words, would the phonology and pronunciation not be adopted from Standard English, or would it be the RP variant? I would expect that Latin items pronunciations would be adopted from SE or RP rather than other languages.
Perhaps were thinking too hard about it, and its just a misunderstanding. :lol
Huh. Was that in a Famitsu article or an ultimania? Interview sounds interesting.Aeana said:
Dark Schala said:
They don't filter Latin words through English, if that's what you're asking; in general Classical Latin is used for Latin borrowings (so Cicero and Caesar are キケロ and カエサル, not チチェロ and チェーザル, though Shakespeare's play is ジュリウス・シーザー
. Sometimes you'll see them use Italian pronunciations; in the subtitles to the "Rome" mini-series they called Vercingetorix ヴェルチンゲトリクス and not ウェルキンゲトリクス.Surely this is the case. ^_^; But props to SE for making a game that looks fun and engaging enough for us to want them to get all the words right!
I remember reading that エスナ and バスナ came from the initial sounds of 永久ステータスを無くす (eikyuu suteetasu o nakusu; remove permanent status (ailment) ) and バトルステータスを無くす (batoru suteetasu o nakusu; remove battle status (ailment) ). Could be wrong though.

Wow, can anyone confirm this? Cause if it's true then that's awesome.jiggle said:

After you've killed them, lock on to the body using R for several seconds, until there's a faint red bean from your character's hand to the enemy's body. The Phantoma icon above the enemy will rotate 90°. When that happens, the Phantoma is "ready" for your to harvest it, so press Triangle, Square, or O and you've got it.
Note that you won't be able to lock on if there are still other enemies around who are attacking you. In some cases if you defeat the leader of a group of enemies, the others will surrender, hands over heads, and they'll give you valuable items if you talk to them.

If you want to deal mega damage to your foes in Final Fantasy Type-0, you have the option of calling out a summon like Shiva or Bahamut. The problem is, this will sacrifice your current character.
There's another option for those who just don't want to off someone as lovely as Sice. Jump has details this week on the game's group attack options . You can make your three party members team up to attack a single enemy. While these group attacks don't do as much damage as a summon, you can use them multiple times.
Jump introduces Straight Flash, Dead Ensemble and Crisis Arrow for Ace, Deuce and Trey. Nine, King and Queen have Hornet, Linear Rush and Zero Distance Shot.
Jump also has a look at Bahamut this week. Famitsu is scheduled to have a report in its next issue (on Type-0 and Final Fantasy XIII-2) so we can hopefully look forward to additional details in a few days.

maybe it is just a part of Oriens that will be featuring in type-0....
just like titles of Ivalice series - every game has a map that is actually only a portion of the whole world...
and according to the official site, the four countries are located at the eastern part of the world...
so, more titles based on Oriens are coming?

maybe future Type-1, Type-2, etc. will (hopefully) reveal more of the world?
