Final Fantasy Type-0 Thread

[Flintlock]

That seems like it went pretty well. 80 minutes of Type-0 stuff followed by 20 minutes of AMA; fair enough.

This is a bit of a nothing comment, but it's just that I'm always surprised when Square Enix manage to do something without completely screwing it up.

lmao tabata

(In response to a question about trophies/ achievements):

3) There aren’t any tedious trophies/achievements in the game. We used FF13 as an example for our trophy/achievement list

I have every single player FF platinum available. FFXIII has the most tedious platinum of ANY FF, and I include FFX's sphere grid maxing in that.

 

[Tetsujin]

I lol'd at that too.

 

[Alex Strife]

Yeah I was like "huh? FFXIII as an example of not grinding?" I mean, not that I care for trophies but...

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

If it had been Naoki Yoshida saying it, I would have taken it as a sly dig. He's the only main FF dude who doesn't come off as ridiculously out of touch.

 

[Strangelove]

i thank fucking god that type-0 doesn't have a weapon upgrading system like 13 did then

hail satan

the hd version has some new costumes (i never got one of them in the psp one because it needed you to play the multiplayer stuff which i only did once), and a new video that wasn't in the psp original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFDhQe9rn3U

plus a new song

now if they would just release agito+ for the vita already, i will be happy

edit; i am very critical of the lyric translation for utakata on the ff wiki but i don't know if i have it in me to do better because the lyrics are pretty difficult (which i think would explain some of the mistakes)

i have strong opinions about trivial things

edit 2; so strong that i tried my own translation, but it's pretty rough because this song is tricky (and songs are hard because interpretations and stuff). i will be interested to see what the english version does for this song, and where it plays in the game

願いは永遠　悟りて
幾年　まだ届かず
A wish is eternal; many years since I realised this, yet still I have not reached it

荒ぶる炎　騒ぎて
止められぬ鼓動　焦がして
The savage flames rages, consuming the unstoppable pulse [consuming the pulse which clamours and cannot be stopped]

踊るように舞い落ちる　桜雪よ
抗うように　紡ぐ声　駆け上らん
Oh snow of cherry blossom petals, falling as if in a dance
A voice spun as if in defiance shall run up

何度も繰り返し　燃え上がりし憂いに
戦い祈りしは　泡沫
How ephemeral to have fought and prayed against the sorrow that has flared up so many times

見果てぬ宙　十六夜
歴史の風　誘う
The moon just beginning to wane in the endless cosmos beckons the winds of history

神の意志さえ欺いて
手を伸ばした
微睡むような　懐かしき
その姿
Deceiving [scorning] even the will of the Gods I reach out my hand
To that figure so nostalgic, as if I am sleeping lightly

儚き魂が　古の記憶が
無常に甦る
許されんと知りながら　身体が求める
誓いの　灯火が　ひとひら
A fleeting soul, an ancient memory are reborn into uncertainty [the fleeting human world/death]
The flickering of the fires of an oath which the body seeks, whilst knowing it is not allowed

奏でる愛言葉
委ねる君の側
眠り続けていたい
To you I entrust the words of love I recite
And by your side I wish to remain, sleeping

いつまでもこの時間が
続くようにと願った
輪廻に導かれ
I wished that this time would continue forever
Guided by the cycle of death and rebirth

儚き魂が　古の記憶が
無常に甦る
何度も繰り返し　燃え上がりし憂いに
戦い祈りしは　泡沫
A fleeting soul, an ancient memory are reborn into uncertainty [the fleeting human world/death]
How ephemeral to have fought and prayed against the sorrow that has flared up so many times

I honestly can't wait for this game just so we can go into "lore talk" mode.

Kinda tough having knowledge that you can't give to others.

 

[Lex]

^I'm actually really looking forward to that too. We're not long away now

Uh someone remind me to cancel one of my pre-orders, I think I've got the collectors edition pre-ordered in two separate places :/

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Remember to cancel one of your pre-orders.

 

[Strangelove]

i have been avoiding pre-orders (mostly because i have no money) since i'm kind of meh about the pay they are going with it nowadays where there's 15 different types and it's all shit and there will probably be a goty version later anyway (plus i got alien isolation with the original alien cast preorder bonus for £22 after it had been out for a while anyway)

but i am pretty confident to preorder this because i already liked the game and it's made by the people to saved the zone of the enders hd version. i might get the other novel while i'm at it and maybe actually read the first one

even though the japanese version is out two days later for some reason and then i have to wait for it to be delivered

 

[Strangelove]

new comparison video, but for some reason square decided to block it in certain countries like a bunch of jerks

here's another upload of the same video from someone who isn't evil

 

[Tetsujin]

Had this preordered but canceled it. Gonna have to save my money for now and I still don't have a PS4 yet. v_v
I was initially thinking of writing a review of Type-0 and the FFXV demo but alas, finances take priority.

 

[Strangelove]

i was the opposite, i thought i wouldn't be able to get this but now i can

i was also expecting money to replenish what i spent but haven't received that yet, but oh well

i still have like 18 days to get that money

 

[Kuja9001]

I think i'll consider against buying this in the future.

The dub annoys me and I don't care for the cast.

 

[Strangelove]

i find it hard to believe you couldn't fit both dubs on the disk

also no atsuko takana, no sale

not long to go now

 

[Alex Strife]

I find it hard to believe you can't put the Japanese dub for download on the store, for free.

Like what they did with Lightning Returns.

 

[Strangelove]

i have cobbled the money for the game, but i keep getting disappointed that i can't afford the special edition box even though it's just full of tat that would sit on a shelf

[Kuja9001]

I just learned that you can indeed switch over to the JP voices.

 

[Strangelove]

i wonder if that will apply to the japanese version as well

not that i'm super anxious to play it in english beyond curiosity, but still

 

[Strangelove]

bollocks, i accidentally watched that new video they added to the game because i thought the link was a preview clip when it was footage from an early copy of the game i was going to try to unlock that myself and now all my ambition is gone

 

[ForceStealer]

Package is being shipped my Amazon's own carrier? Which I didn't know it was a thing, and they apparently suck. And can't/won't just leave stuff at the mail room like other carriers, so I don't know when and how I'm going to get this game and I wanted to play tonight now that I'm home and graaaahhhhhh

 

[Lex]

Wait a minute, don't you live in the land of the random Tuesday release? What's going on? Why are you getting the game 3 days late?

 

[ForceStealer]

Because Amazon, apparently...I don't understand why it isn't just being shipped by a normal carrier.

If they don't succeed or hear from me in 3 days they'll return it and give me a full refund. No you assholes I preordered that version so I could get the demo now stop being shitty!

 

[Lex]

^You skimped on delivery didn't you

EDIT: I'm waiting on mine, it's been out for delivery for half the day so it should be here shortly. It's usually before 2pm and it's hitting half 1 just now so I'll see how that goes.

EDIT2: It's here! 13:29 <3
