WTF is going on with FF Type-0?

I need to try playing it on my TV again since getting full upscaling capabilities. Yes, I know it will look like a blown up PS1 game and it will be GLORIOUS.
Sega Saturn was a healthier platform. Let that sink in.
I still haven't done a 2nd playthrough.

I don't speak Japanese and have played through it 3-4 times. There's a spreadsheet on GameFAQs that helps you figure out what you need to (which you will need for the Final Dungeon) but pretty much everything else is "reach the orange marker to advance."

Can you time button presses with yellow circles? Yes? You can play Type 0.
2 for story purposes/to access all missions. Kind of sort of 3 for all endings (or you know, just don't save after seeing one and do the other, then 2 for all endings.) 3 if you want to gain access to the Super Boss fights and Tower of You Cannot Win Here.
I dunno, I bought it on UMD. I'd buy a Vita if this came out for it, though.

Seriously how can SE leave a good FF game like this only for Japan and doesn't bring it here in the west?
It's their biggest franchise worldwide ... they don't want our money?
Ok PSP is dead in the west.... but how about an HD port to the PS3 instead? other companies did an HD port from handles to consoles so why not to do the same thing?
You need money... we need this game, it's simple!

You will take your PS2 ports and like it.
I have it on UMD too! I just don't use my PSP *at all* anymore, whereas I'll definitely have my Vita with me for commute and whatnot. I'll probably never get around beating the game on PSP ahah...
Type-0 PSN being 2100¥ is nice too, that's only like 15.
It is simple only when you are not a bunch of idiots. The leadership at SE on the other hand...
Yeah, that's half what I paid for the UMD.
The yen gets cheaper by the day thanks to our traitorous prime minister who is determined to make export companies profitable at the expense of his own nation's savers. A year or so ago, one yen was worth more than one euro cent!
Only once in the past five years has a major world currency collapsed like the yen has in the last six months (the GBP, in 2009). A looming disaster for people in Japan with substantial savings, but great for people looking to import Japanese stuff. If you were on the fence in 2011, pull the trigger now.
Oh shit I didn't realized this worked too. Well that makes things even easier!

Wow. Japan's been in recession for 20 years, its industry has been gutted by the rise of Chinese manufacturing and free trade agreements, and the balance of trade is completely out of whack. Screw savers (not that I understand how they're being screwed here). Abe is doing the right thing.
Yes. That's where I bought my copy. You can even still get the original (non-Ultimate Hits version) for a bit more money. My game is ready and waiting for the fan translation to complete.
Also, MagiusNecros, I have to thank you for the hard work you've been doing on the translation. You're doing a great service to us fans, sir!

SE has been pretty braindead for awhile making decisions that make people wonder how they're still in business.
Given the current trend of things, its no surprise they're going downhill.
This is the only SE game I'm curious about since forever and I don't expect SE to pull the trigger in releasing it ever.

Because this game kicks ass unlike that Lightning Saga thing and well that's bad publicity for Lightning the goddess of perfection.
They don't want to embarrass Toriyama.
It was a PSP game in the wrong place (the west) at the wrong time (when most retailers dropped the PSP).
They also claim they had monstrous piracy with Dissidia (didn't they say like 5 million recorded downloads or something? Not sure if I buy that but still...), so I guess all these things contributed to them deciding not release.
Seemed like a waste to do all that work and get no return on it though.

Part of me feels this was done on purpose but don't mind me.

They really should. Moreso because I have a 3DS therefore I selfishly want more stuff for it.

Son't be silly. They wouldn't have gone through the translation work if they had intended on just plain not releasing it and planned it accordingly with the western PSP decline.

I honestly think they thought the Vita would take off and they would be safe. And then boom.
I can believe that. Wonder if they'll use FFXHD to guage their Vita viability.
Probably not a good measure though as there's the PS3 version too.

I wonder how that will do. I don't have much stock in re-releases.
It seems no one post it yet, so here is an article from Operation Suzaku about Robin Kodaira, Localization Specialist/Project Manager at Square Enix who worked (at is still working?) on the Final Fantasy Type-0 localization.

Interesting. However I care not. Square likes it's secrets. I thank thee for thy info.
Edit: One day they stumble upon this after our update. Coincidence? I think not.

Hey! The 3DS already have Bravery Default ok? Let the Vita get some FF love (that's not a remake.)

All is fair when it's about Square.
