Thank you to the team for making this miserable time of the lack of XV news so much more bearable.

So the main story has been translated, but they were going to push it back to August to fix a lot of the npcs? Well, can't wait to try it out regardless!
From what I saw during the stream this week the whole game is translated, not just the main story.

but remember crimson echoes that get C&D just a few days before release....
It would really help fan translation threads a lot if people could learn and remember the difference between a translation patch (that maintains gameplay and merely converts the text to a new language) and a total conversion mod (that essentially creates an entirely new game using the original's engine.) The latter is always going to be at risk for legal action; the former really is not.

Cool. Actually that post I read was a couple of months old. My bad.
Oh, I know that. But it was still a bitch move from SE
Thank you!
This is something I'm shocked how many fail to wrap their mind around this. It isn't like they're reproducing assets used for a fan project (IE: like that Chrono Trigger fan project people like to bring up), but are just translating a script.
Yes they don't legally own the script to the game, but they aren't profiting from it, or using it within another work, nor are they providing the source material to apply their translation to (since that would be illegal) so there isn't really course for legal action.
...what?
Why are you passionately lecturing about a hypothesis you have absolutely no evidence for, and that is actually extremely unlikely to be true? And even assuming for the sake of argument that it is true, and this group received a C&D and somehow knows about an incoming localization, I highly doubt a fan translation patch would meaningfully impact Type-0's sales. It's a very niche project, and presumably the great majority of people applying the patch have already bought the game - possibly because of it. But let's assume, also, that the patch would hurt sales. So what? It's a perfectly legitimate project, and the fact that fans have the power to take it into their own hands to make a game accessible to more people is a great thing. SE badly mismanaging the game's distribution is their own responsibility, not that of the passionate fans you seem weirdly eager to actively express indifference toward.
All in all, I came into the thread expecting good news and happiness, so it's somewhat jarring to see people seemingly wishing ill on the project for basically no reason.

So how good is this FF? I almost get a FF8 vibe with the school, but the combat looks like an action rpg.
The combat is an ARPG, and the FF8 vibes are intentional. It plays sort of like Crisis Core but more fluidly. Honestly the only parts of the game I did not enjoy were the RTS segments. The rest of it I felt was a very solid game. If you think of it as a sort of spiritual successor to Crisis Core it's really quite awesome.

so i just read the news that se will be dropping some ff type 0 announcements at e3.
that might be the reason why they're releasing the patch early.

Care to point out where you read it?
What news?
If Square does announce the game, great, I'll buy it (again) and play it to my heart's content.
They don't announce it, I've bought the game and I'll play it to my heart's content.
Either way, I win.

1. Please dont be a douchebag.
2.I did, and my question stands.
3.No seriously, dont be a douchebag.
Your tweets are nebulous, vague, and they are not in perfect English. Just because someone says Type 0 does not mean SE France was, and does not give you license to be an asshole.
Why? I haven't bought a Japanese version of the game yet, but when I do, I'll buy a used copy from Ebay or from the Amazon Marketplace. I'm not giving Square Enix a dime for the game though.

oh please. one person said agito, another person asked about type 0. both were replied to by square enix. how the hell you arrived to the conclusion that squeenix was excluding type 0 or was exclusively talking about agito is beyond me.

I loved the game when I couldn't even understand the language, pretty excited for this patch. Even with the patch I still wouldn't be too disappointed if Square decides to bring the game overseas.

Square Enix of France. It's a known fact that the Branches of NA and EUR have garbage relations with the JP branch. You can't take anything they say with 100% certainty.
1. You're still being a douchebag. We talked about this. Please read.
2. Don't tell people to read when you didnt read the thread. That makes you a hypocrite and a douchebag.
3.How did you arrive at your conclusion without Square saying Type-0? They said Agito, which gasp is a different game from Type-0! My question arose from things discussed in this thread, which you clearly did not read before you hit new reply and made a douchey remark to me. I mean all you have to do here is not be a douchebag. All you had to do in the beginning was not be a douchebag. There was no cause for you to do so, and there still is no reason nor need for you to do so. We can all be here and be excited about this game. Who didn't read what is beyond the fact. That you can't understand tweets or be bothered to read the thread before you post tenuously reliable information and then snap at people for daring to question it based upon conversations in which you did not take part through your own sloth is irrelevant. Let's just all be happy the patch is coming out and not be douchebags to each other? Can't we do that?
isn't it 20th of june?
edit: it's been changed to 30th D:. Well now I have all the time in the world to finish it. <3
Well, you could say that some of those insiders are retired, so even if something were known, it wouldn't necessarily be posted about.

"Operation Suzaku" is very passionate in suggesting people to wait for E3 lately on their FB and Twitter account before downloading the translated-patch. This with the rushed release of the patch really lets you think a type-0 official announcement is behind the corner...

my guess is an hd version of both agito and type 0 for the ps3/vita. squeenix seems to be on that boat right now of hd re-releases.

I'm not really interested in Agito because it looks trash, but as an added bonus I would give it a chance obviously. Type-0 is where my interest really lies. This announcement could save an E3 already ruined for me with a lack of any FFXV related news.
So... let's hope for it!
PS: they also had almost 3 yrs to develop this "hd" version, I hope they took some time in really making it great for HD screens.
Even if they announce it at E3, I'm still going to play the patch, tbh. It's like what happened with Danganronpa, the fan patch didn't affect the sales, hell, it probably increased the sales by introducing people to it before the localisation,
If SE announces it at E3, woohoo, they have my preorder the same day! If they don't, then I can go back to my save file on the patch.

And the scenario where the translators have knowledge of this that all the rest of us lack and yet are responding to it by actually publishing the patch is... what, exactly?

Insiders? Kagari knew FFXV was not going to be at the show, someone else might know Type-0 is now part of the show.

It's really probably just Agito if we're lucky.
I find it hard to believe that they would port Type-0 when they've just made a moblie version of the game.It would be a waste of money and remember that SE didn't want to localie PSP version because of sales. If anything it's going to be Agito.

The mobile version of the game is not the same as the PSP version. The gameplay is largely different (but still revolving in school life and the use of time as currency for events and battles) and the story is also different. Different iteration of the same world and characters with a different story. Story spoilers
Agito is the first cycle of what was a cycle of 6 billion cycles or so to achieve the goals that the avatars of Lindzei and Pulse want.
We will probably get Type-0 in the future if the company doesn't collapse. It's just a matter of when and where. Maybe 10 years later in a remake for a very hip China Brand cellphone/ OS system.
