WTF is going on with FF Type-0?

I agree that
the last battle was disappointing

I'll agree the last dungeon was kinda...yeah.
I'm quite interested in the 4 year old scenario of Orience allying with each other to take on a western continent.

Whatever. Final dungeon was ACES. Need to be more final dungeons like Type-0 and also FFVI's.

Hopefully the exchange rate doesn't go back to crap before this is far enough along to pick a copy up. Could get an ultimate hits copy for under $30 right now.
Why not just get it now?
How far along are you? An estimate, at least. 10%? 20%? 60? Almost done?You didn't see anything...

I'd rather get it once it's done or confirmed to be about done. Would be kind of annoyed if I picked it up and SE slapped the project with a C&D or it otherwise fell apart before being finished.

Far from done. 10%-12% I'd say at best. Game is hefty. But we'll get there eventually.
We figured an update once in a great while would be a good idea.
Ah, oh well, we've waited for this long, might as well wait longer. And yeah, it's nice to see the progress, although I did notice a typo in the vid (at some point there was a "The" which I suppose should've been a "This")
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
Yep. Will be fixed in a revision. I noticed it too.
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
Will be revised. I noticed a couple grammatical errors that will be rectified. If you spot these things it's always good to bring them to Operation DOOMTRAIN'S attention.

Hurry Magius. You are taking too long. You should also translate Seven as Lightning.
Joking. Keep up the good work

God I hope this comes out on the Vita some day.
Well we learned with FF3 and FF5 that it may take years, and it may not be PSP or Vita, but it WILL come out one day over here.
...unless SE somehow dies.

Have put 150hr+ into the game. A great FF game. To me, it is the real FF13. FNC mythology really shines in the game. Nojima should be happy that this game delivers the FNC setting really well (instead of the bullshit in FFXIII-2).
The production value is insane for a handheld game.
However, there are some very bad design choices in terms of budget usage.
For instance, instead of putting crazy amount of money into so many famous voice actors, they could've composed more tunes for different towns and cities. Also, it is such a waste of the traditional rich FF skill/magic settings when only 4 skills can be used at a time. IMO the battle systems is inferior to KH BBS.

For me it's a BERSERK esque FF. Which makes me super happy.

Sadness? It's a good thing it was bumped with an update. SE isn't giving us this game, so I'm glad we have awesome folks doing a fan translation.
I'd buy a Vita for this.
Towns used to only have one theme in FFs, so that never really bugged me, and I actually like the battle system in this game. The last act and
3rd ending
they thought it's good for sales probably, didn't help all that much though.
or actually make some proper towns and cities, it's really quite sad, some of those towns. It's only Peristylium that is pretty good, elsewhere it's ghost town and boring.
I think the soundtrack while good, definitely it's quite repetitive tunes and lacking variety, there are quite a few bad dungeon music too.
This game needed more buttons, lol. maybe they could use some buttons to swap mapped magic during battle, yeah BBS is definitely better. You have to level up a lot to unlock new abilities but then you can only have 4 at any time on a character, I guess they wanted to encourage using all characters and switching more often but then then exp system it's so bad and you'll definitely have low level useless characters... they should have given half xp to unused characters.
The game could've been really great, I think it's ok as it is but definitely had a lot more potential, some very odd designs in there.

Special training. Which lets you train a single character by putting it in sleep mode at the arena.
Otherwise replay missions or go to the overworld and train train train.
I actually feel like the plazas that represent towns were okay, I just wish that 1) I could explore levels where missions happened, like being able to go back into those fortresses in Concordia and such, and 2) the areas of towns you visit during campaigns should be explorable after saving a town.
Still, Type-0's world looks more populated than the barren worlds of Kingdom Hearts.

My problem with Type 0 is more a personal issue. And that is well how Lorica was treated.
Then again...that one guy has to start somewhere.

The game could use a lot of things. Type 0 is a great game and it is a step in the right direction in terms of plot especially, for sure. But people seem very forgiving of the repetitive nature of it in exchange for a world map and other things they like. Multiple towns shouldn't matter so much if they're mostly copy pastes ... Sometimes less is more.
And maybe I'm the only one, but I didn't care for the damage dealing in the game entirely revolving around sight kills. 3rd Birthday was a much more balanced game in regards to combat and the stun damage system was better overall.
In regards to the translation, it seems like at least fans can take care of that. What we should really worry about is ... is it possible for there to be a Type 1 at S-E anymore?

Framework was done for Type-1 as per the Ultimania in what November 2011? I fear it's been scrapped or shelved in favor of XIV.
No one knows what Tabata has been up to.
Last thing he talked about was having musings about a PE installment and Before Crisis 3DS.
Eh I see. Pretty much what I was doing, I guess I just need to hang in there.
Do you keep levels or anything for subsequent playthroughs? I seem to recall you need to be on a second (or third?) playthrough to get the most out the game story.

I thought in 2011 we were told that Tabata wanted to work on a 3rd Birthday sequel but was pressured to work on a Type 1 sequel.
I've been wondering if the lack of success in regards to the Vita blew up their plans (which is the only thing that could save it ...)

Kinda? It really isn't. Its condition may have improved, but it's still in the ICU.
Yes, my file everyone is maxed at level 99, but it's also like, my 5th playthrough.
Yeah, nothing really great or what, but at least it's not just a walking corpse anymore.
I'm fairly confident about Japan (as in, good enough but no PSP levels numbers ever), but we'll see.
Yes! Thanks for telling me this.

He said he would like to do something with PE but was pressured with Type 1 but not much else on that.
-------------------------
Yes you can keep your levels on subsequent playthroughs.
All stats and equipment carry over. It's exactly the same as New Game + from CT. Subsequent playthroughs allow you to do alternative missions and
unlock the 3rd ending, access the Tower of Agito, and fight 8 Armed Gilgamesh and the Dark Suzaku.

3-4 is par for the course.
On my 50th or so myself. But that's because I'm you know. Doing stuff. Debug mode is cool.

Just makes me sad, man.
Good analogy/assessment actually. I'd call it still very critical but more stable now overseas. At least it hasn't you know deteriorated past that. I want to say its in severely critical condition here in the US and Europe. I won't use the term grave condition yet. Somehow, it is managing to survive..barely but it is still managing that none the less.

I like playing it. A lot. You can clock over 100 hours or so which is par for the course.
