Final Fantasy Type-0 Impressions, 15 hours into the game.

I'm going to make this a list of positives and negatives. Here are my impressions, I've spent upwards of 15 hours. I like it.

Positives:

+ A strong start, the action in the first chapter plus the music pumps up your blood.

+ The gameplay is varied, from Sword bearers, Gun bearers and to even odd weapons like cards.

+ I really love the music, it does elevate that already great combat to a couple of levels above.

+ Some characters will die, it's a war after all. The preservation of characters has become a disgusting habit where the writer refuses to even kill one character in a war-based story. Here, there are a few characters that will die.

+ Some chapters are just awesome, for example. The fourth chapter starts very well, with a betrayal scene that makes you want to fight harder for your own sake.

+ Not much grind to level up your characters, it's balanced rather well.

+ When a female character dodges, you can see a glimpse of her panties.

+ The English voice acting is arguable as good as the Japanese one.

Negatives:

- Some chapters aren't as good as others, and there's not enough character representation of the 14. Some get most of the screen time, while other get none at all except from a few poses here and there.

- The story focuses too much on war, to the point the game has more still-images info-dump minute count than actual character screen time. And it feels like you're reading from a history book where all the interesting bits have been taken out, it's just a hassle.

- One character dies at the very start of the game, and because of that. You have no reason to care about him, the game just starts with him crying that he doesn't want to die and that's the only characteristic he has and it makes it really hard to not roll your eyes as you watch this. He wasn't given the proper characterization to make him feel human that all characters deserve.

- Some of the textures have the quality of 240p textures upscaled to 1080p, and despite that the game still runs on 30FPS with lots of motion blur and such effects.

- The camera sensitivity isn't adjustable, and it's quite fast. While you can fix this through locking on enemies, so it's not that much of an issue.

- The quality of remodeling characters is inconsistent. Some characters look very well, but others look like they're straight up up-scales from the PSP version with all their fingers moving like one object.

- Cinque has no neck.

Playing on PS4 or the Xbox? Either way, it does sound like a massive rush job on the port if they haven't done proper texture swaps.

Need 500 post to make a thread. inb4lock.

Character modeling inconsistency: There are mild spoilers in this video, but the spoiler is already given out in the opening scene of the game.

Good to see TC focusing on the important stuff

The game has been on sale in various stores and locations since the 12th of March.

Really...

And they are asking 60 bucks for this game?

lol

Two more days.....

if you're the kind that likes that stuff you can even change the underwear of the girls for some fancier ones. Everything from g-string to those that look like hot-pants.

The game has a lot of perverted elements, at least on PsP.

To me the game was still a piece of *#4 though.

Sold.
