A y🗹oung soldier and his beloved mount lay ✱dying, bloody and battered, on a battlefield. Thousands of his countrymen have been slaughtered around him as a high-tech totalitarian state invades his peaceful homeland. His solitude is complete, because everyone who loved him will forget him when he dies. Still, his passing causes ripples that will shake the very foundations of the world.
Intrigued? Welcome to Final Fantasy Type-0, an action RPG set in the mysterious world of Orience, where powerful sentient crystals rule over humanity and erase the painful memories of those who have passed. It's a fascinating setting that drew me in with a gripping war story, raising questions about mortality and memory. At its center is Class Zero, a group of fourteen elite army cadets who are tasked with turning the tide of battle against the invading Militesi Empire. Along with high-stakes combat missions, these young comrades face dark mysteries, political intrigue, and interpersonal drama that, although doled o🃏ut slowly, make a story worth experiencing.
Fitting with its military theme, Type-0 is a highly structured experience. The action is split between combat missions and “free time,” during which our teenage heroes can gear up and prepare for the next mission. Combat missions are brief and linear but nicely varied, with goals ranging from liberating towns to sabotaging enemy factories. Free time offers a lot of gameplay choices but is limited by a time management system. It’s a different kind of o꧃verall experience than we usually see from Final Fantasy, but it only helps to reinforce the military theme of the game.
This being a war storyꦉ, combat is the bloody, beating heart of Type-0. Your party is composed of three cadets at a time, one under your direct control and two AI partners who largely support your actions. You can swap between the three any time, and anybody who falls can be replaced by a character in reserve. Later on, you’ll get the ability to sacrifice a comrade in order to summon and control a giant, powerful beast like the firey Ifrit or frosty Shivꦉa. Don’t worry, they aren’t gone for good, just the rest of the mission. It’s usually worth it for the chance to stomp around and wreck things.
Final Fantasy's iconic giant yellow birds, the chocobos, make a grand appearance in Type-0. They can be captured, tamed, and ridden around Orience. They even serve as battle mounts in certain strategic fights. Chocobo fans will be pleased to know that they can even breed the birds via a game-spanning side quest. If you ever see an alternate colored chocobo on your journeys, high-tail it after the bird. You'll catch a rare mount that is especially strong, fast, or agile. If you're a real birdbrain, you could even hatch a ninja chocobo on your ranch. Yes, that's right. A ninja chocobo.
