The two types of missions encountered are story-based missions, and "Practice" missions, which act as side-quests. The main gameplay is presented in a mission-based structure. The player initially travels to preset destinations in the world on an airship supplied by the Peristylium, but gains their own airship to freely navigate the world map after defeating a powerful enemy guarding it. Class Zero is sent on missions across Orience during the course of the game. Outside environments such as the Vermillion Peristylium (Class Zero's home base) and dedicated missions, the game world of Orience is navigated via a scaled-down world map. Further games related to Type-0 have also been developed, including a high definition remaster that was released internationally in March 2015.įinal Fantasy Type-0 is an action role-playing game in which the player controls the 14 members of Class Zero, who are sent on missions across Orience. Releasing to strong sales, it received praise for its story and gameplay, but was criticized for its camera control and artificial intelligence. Initially designed to provide players with easy access to the Fabula Nova Crystallis universe, the mobile version was eventually cancelled and the game's title was changed to distance it from the subseries' flagship title Final Fantasy XIII.

It was directed by Hajime Tabata, who took up the project after completing Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII. The game was originally announced as a title for mobile phones and the PSP called Final Fantasy Agito XIII. The setting and presentation were inspired by historical documentaries, and the story itself was written to be darker than other Final Fantasy titles. Eventually, the group becomes entangled in the secrets behind both the war and the reason for their existence. When the Militesi Empire launches an assault on the other Crystal States of Orience, seeking to control their respective crystals, Class Zero is mobilized for the defense of Rubrum. The story focuses on Class Zero, a group of fourteen students from the Vermillion Peristylium, a magical academy in the Dominion of Rubrum. The player also engages in large-scale strategy-based battles on the world map, and has access to a multiplayer option during story missions and side quests.

The gameplay, similar to Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, has the player taking control of characters in real-time combat during missions across Orience. Released in Japan on October 27, 2011, Type-0 is part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis subseries, a set of games sharing a common mythos which includes Final Fantasy XIII and XV. Final Fantasy Type-0 is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation Portable (PSP).
