Hello Ladies and gents,
I'm sure many of you are aware of the re-release/remake of Final Fantasy Type 0 upon us in March. I find myself feeling cautious. To me the game still doesn't have that normal Final Fantasy feel. I am well aware it is not a numeral title so it can be considered a spin off, but really feels different.
I think what initially makes me cautious is the stereotype anime set up of a boarding school. It simple doesn't appeal to me. I mean Final Fantasy VIII obviously has a similar set up with the Garden, but you break free from that as you become more of a mercenary on mission for the Garden - which then breaks away through the plot devices within the story anyway. So I never had that dampen the experience within VIII. But with Type-0 it feels quite set to the whole boarding academy style which I may find hard to overlook.
I could go into more detail but i guess what I really want to hear is impressions from people who have played the game through the PSP version, their thoughts on the game (Without spoilers obviously) and to what FF game in the series you feel it relates to closely. Last thing I want is to be let down like I was with Final Fantasy XII, but then other people loved that game, so I think hearing to what previous FF game it feels closer to is important. So anyone out there who can lay it down for us?
