7 Final Fantasy Type-0 Facts You Probably Didn't Know

[@Kougeru]

The theme song, "Zero" by BUMP OF CHICKEN was of course created specifically for the game. The entire band had been FF fans their entire life and while they had worked on the Tales of series years prior, FF was really special to them and they felt honored to work on music for the game. Back then it was rare that global releases used the original JP theme songs, but SE kept the song in the global release of the game because BUMP OF CHICKEN pushed for it to be kept in due to how deeply the song tied into the story of the game. "Zero" is a gorgeous and iconic song for the franchise On a related note, the lead singer/composer/writer, Fujiwara Motoo currently has covid so 🙏 hopefully he will recover well with no long lasting problems.

[@kermitwithamustache3885]

Type-0 is criminally underrated and it has no right to be rated this low, it deserves more love. It's definitively one of the better modern titles released, even if the HD port isn't the best, it's still a solid, complete experience.

[@KaijinZSurohm]

Unfortunately, I disagree. I got my hands on the JP demo many years back and fell in love with what I was able to play. On the handheld, it's exactly what I was wanting to see in a FF game, gritty, live action. I pre-ordered the collector's edition and was giddy when I found it was taking them, only to be crushed when I finally got to play it. The PSP action did not translate well to a console, the story did the same mistake 13 did by hiding a lot of lore behind external reading sources, and you were not able to experience the story. The game moved on without you, and you constantly tried to keep up by learning about the world around you, instead of you being what's driving the plot It really made you feel like you didn't mean anything in the grand scheme, and the way that the leveling system was abysmally grindy, it overall hurt the experience. I really wanted to love this game.

[@Vayne_Solidor]

It's my 3rd favorite FF, and I even cleared the Tower of Yudecca and stuff like that.

[@DerRabenbarde]

@@KaijinZSurohm You are cadets obeying orders. Not being the driving force throughout the plot, not being in control of your destiny is the whole theme, the point. Things like forgetting the fallen, the weird feeling of being expendable while being treasured above any other people for being the only hope, not being told vital details, yet being constantly observed and evaluated should give you the feeling of being rats in a maze which, spoilers, you are.

[@flagfighter]

10:23 From page 839 of the Ultimania, Nomura stated that he was the one who came up with Class Zero's names. He was looking for a cohesive group of 13 names that sounded like codenames, so he decided on playing cards. Because the name "Joker" sounded so enigmatic to him, he decided to go with that idea. This has also led to the speculation that Lean Joker was the original missing 13th member of Class Zero before Rem and Machina were created. Those two don't appear to be part of the original Agito XIII concept - which is a "fun fact most people probably don't know" of its own.

[@TheMasterofMasters1]

Correct.

[@chrisramsteck5866]

I hated type 0 when I first started playing it. Then I experimented with the other characters more and ended up actually liking it when I found ones i enjoyed playing as. The archetypes of the characters reminded me of how you could customize your party in ff5

[@derptyderp5287]

Love Type-0, probably helps that I played the PSP version, which honestly just looks much better, higher res isn't worth as much as coheesive design (in my opinion at least.) Probably one of the better intro's as well, I really felt for that dude and his Chocobo. Also Takeharu Ishimoto made some fantastic soundtracks.

[@Smashvillain]

The actual GOAT. Thanks for showing it love. Also, my favorite fact involves Carla's final scene being a big excuse to get three of the four SOS Brigade voice actors (Aya Hirano, Minori Chihara, and Tomokazu Sugita specifically. Only Daisuke Ono was left out of the scene) together, and the localized title of it being "The Melancholy of Carla Ayatsugi" being the cherry on top. Considering those actors (met Aya and got her to sign my copy in 2012!) and that show are why I got interested in T0 initially, it always warms my heart.

[@JackfrostAtreidesOmegaXZero]

Also, Carla owns a great pair of legs just like most of japaneses and the characters from SOS too 🤪🙌

[@masterseal0418]

Final Fantasy Type 0 deserves more love and recognition. It has Takeharu Ishimoto compose the soundtrack after Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII, and he's the same guy behind TWEWY and NEO TWEWY's music! There was a time during childhood when I watched the trailer to Type 0's re-release, and young me was invested despite never getting the chance to play it. Can't remember that period, but of course I binged the franchise until playing FF7R.

[@theniteowl7007]

probably my favorite FF game. the story is really complex and intense.

[@kortezfitness]

Ppl be sleeping on type 0. I damn near cried at the end of the game

[@BlackFantasy470]

I did follow the original development of this game, when it still was part of the XIII universe (the time when XV was supposed to be versus XIII) and never thought I got to play it, played the PSP version and the PS4 version but still didn't know everything you mentioned.

[@JackfrostAtreidesOmegaXZero]

There's also even more and an pair of mangas as well as an novels.

[@zakuronakashima]

Type 0 is a game I have a weird relationship with. I adore it but I can't be bothered to try to beat it. XD When folks talk about Type 0, I get excited. And as such. Thank you for the video and all your hard work.

[@AndersonTenecela]

FF type 0 was actually my first game on ps4. In summer 2015 when I bought the console, I was allow to pick two games with my brother getting fifa 15 and me getting Type 0. Now to be fair, I got Type 0 because it had the FF15 demo which I was highly anticipated and my parents didn’t mind me playing the game because they knew I loved Final Fantasy series but I didn’t think I was expecting Type 0 to be violent they way it was and it… kinda upset my parents😅. That first fact makes me appreciate Type 0 more knowing that it lead to the HD Remasters of Final Fantasy X/X-2 and possibly more remasters that came in afterwards

[@SethJV]

This game's so good, I wish more people played it.

[@ruinga]

I feel like I should pitch in that Final Fantasy Agito ended up releasing as a Japanese exclusive mobile game that more or less served as a prequel to Type-0 and ended up adding quite a bit of lore. Separately, Final Fantasy Awakening was also released on mobile, but I believe the main audience was in Indonesia and China (development was outsourced to Perfect World if I recall). I played a bit of it myself and it... didn't make too much sense 😅. A chunk of FF Agito scenes have been translated by fans, though. Anyway. Type-0 is near and dear to my heart. It's a great, tear-jerking time.

[@fraenznoa5508]

I'll probably add one more fact, and that FF Type-0 Mobile game took place in the first spiral. while the main game took place in 600,104,972nd spiral

[@MatiasEzze]

It's sad to know we might never have Final Fantasy Type-Next concept as a brand new game.

[@GimmeGoblin]

Type-0 was intimidating for ms at first because of how many characters there are and I'm like "holy sh!t that's a lot of grinding to keep them all even." Then I learned I just have to pick a handful that I'm comfortable playing that I can make good 3 people teams with and it became much more fun. I always have Rem as backup in case I have to whip out the summons. Lol.

[@clothar23]

You don't even to do that. The arena training runs off system time. With some clock manipulation it was possible to get all characters max level.

[@saladinboss2507]

I need to give Type-O another shot. It was one of the first PS4 games I got when I got my PS4. I didn't even realize it was a HD remake (even though it had HD in the name lol). I just saw that it was a newly released FF game and I needed some games for the PS4, also the demo for FFXV was appealing. So i played it not having a clue what i was getting into. I though it had some good parts, but I think I was missing parts of the story and I struggled with that. I thought it was OK, but it just never connected with me like I know it did with others. I'm hoping that playing it through again with proper expectations will create a better experience.

[@megustare8337]

Finally, a video on Type-0 on FF Union's channel! Type-0 deserves more attention.

[@NirvanaPhoenix]

Type-0 felt like such a fever dream to me. The characters were so bizarrely written and voice acted, and the story just felt like a load of battles that go horribly wrong and you just have to let your whole party die, and then there's a big out of the blue twist and Cid is God and it's the apocalypse and then it ends 😂

[@Vayne_Solidor]

Thats why it has 2 walkthroughs, in the 2nd there are new missions called Code Crimson...

[@ecritdelajaponographie8565]

10:53 This is a little subjective.

[@AubreyTheKing]

Type-0 is one of the most underrated FF games in the entire franchise! I rarely hear anybody talk about it. I mean, let's be fair. Every FF fan bought the game just to play the FFXV demo. And I will admit, yes, so did I. But then I decided to give the game a chance to see was this game actually good. And by God, IT IS! I 100% the game and completed everything! The story, characters, music and everything about Type-0 was amazing! It has it's flaws, it's not perfect, but Type-0 doesn't deserve to be pushed aside and forgotten! I love this game SO MUCH, I was hoping Tabata would really do a sequel. If he didn't leave, I'm sure he would have. If you're a FF fan and haven't played Type-0, well, I won't guarantee you'll like it, but it doesn't hurt to play it. Final Fantasy Type-0 is one of my absolute favorites in the franchise! I'll never forget it!

[@ChaosMechanica]

Actually, I bought it just for it. Loved the concept from the trailer and on. It definitely stands well on its own merit and promotion, but it was wrapped up in all of the development Hell.

[@DonkThikkness]

Anybody else hoping for the days a mainline FF releases with turn based combat? I’m personally over character action games, mainly due to them all feeling the same because of balancing difficulty. FF7R for example uses the same tires tropes of 3 hits = dead, tight timing windows, everything has super armor, cheap input reading scripting, enemies not adhering to the same rules, etc. By the middle of my second hard mode playthrough the game was falling apart for me. Why’s Cloud and friends the heroes of the world?!? They die in 3 hits! Give me a damn propeller dude, a flamethrower dude, and a Buzzsaw, I’ll save the world with them and leave the glass on the shelf.
