Good morning my favorite followers welcome to other video game post of The Virtual Kitchen, this week I will make a special of several games of "Final Fantasy" an excellent saga that I am playing from Nintendo to the PSP. Today we will talk about a PSP game called "Final Fantasy Type 0" with a similar system to the Crisis Core but handling 14 characters (Incredible) and we will play it thanks to an excellent emulator called PPSSPP.
But first our usual review thanks to Wikipedia:
Final Fantasy Type-0 (フ ァ イ ナ ル フ ァ ン タ ジ ジ ー 零 式 Fainaru Fantajī Reishiki?) Is an RPG video game published by Square Enix for PlayStation Portable. Along with Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XV form the series Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy.
The game was originally announced with the name of Final Fantasy Agito XIII (フ ァ イ ナ ル フ ァ ン タ ジ ー ア ギ ト XIII Agito Fainaru Fantajī Sātīn?). "Agito" means "to start" in Latin. Its director, Hajime Tabata, said that he liked the title of Agito, but that the name had nothing to do with the game Final Fantasy XIII and with the change of name, they want to develop type-0 in a different series, but although the game no longer has "XIII" in its title, will continue to use the mythology of the Fabula Nova Crystallis.
On March 20, 2015 a remastered version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One was released in Europe, along with a demo of Final Fantasy XV, while the PC version arrived on August 18.

Starting the game we learned that there are four major cities and that each one has a magic crystal where thanks to their blessing they have prospered and grown. As there is never an ambitious lack one of the cities advanced in magical technology and decided to attack the other cities to obtain their crystals.
We will control a group of special magic students (apparently one of the weapons that neutralizes the magic does not have any effect on them) called class "0". We will control exactly 14 characters, all completely different in skills and weapons, managing to control 3 of them directly on the battlefield...
If one dies in battle you can choose another one, you only control one while the other 2 characters are engaged in attacking or curing depending on how you have armed their skills, both magical and in techniques.
The combat system is equal to the Core Crisis, action in real time, coming to select with the buttons that type of attack will make our character and changing between those available in the battle depending on the need that arises (attack from far, hit, only magic, etc.)
Each character has its own strengths and weaknesses, also developing their own abilities based on the weapon they carry. Each time they rise in level they will receive AP (Ability Points or skill points) that you will have to invest in the character, the magics are improved in another way, in a room called Crystalium, where with the spheres that you gathered from the fallen enemies you will have to improve each status of the magic, getting to reduce some aspect by another one (if you give a lot of force it will lose speed of caste for example).
We also have invocations, but now they are very different from their previous versions because now you control them and you can improve and develop techniques with them.
The game apart from its main missions also has secondary missions to gain ground in the war, you have an arena where you can leave your characters training while you turn off your PSP and have mini adventures with the characters where you can win interesting objects...
Pro
Excellent game, good graphic engine, quality soundtrack, exceptional combats, novel invocation system and novel plot (of good).
Cons
That the plot of the game does not last long, apart from the game is DIFFICULT if you do not know how to take advantage of the time, you must let your character train a lot to pass the missions which makes the game lengthen without doing anything ... and the experience killing creatures not It is a lot, apart from that you can only leave the city when you have free time and it is limited the times you go out. Bosses are more stressful than in their previous versions in other games.
Conclusion
Very good game, I recommend it first hand, yes, arm yourself with patience because the game comes up very fast difficulty, you can not stay on the laurels with the level of the characters low because you will not pass the bosses even if you care for your saints . Really very good game and nothing else by the fact of handling 14 different characters and improve each one separately.
I leave you a Gameplay of this magic school hahahaha:
