The game takes place in the world of Orience, which is divided into four nations blessed with Crystals. It was directed by Hajime Tabata, with Tetsuya Nomura providing character design, while Takeharu Ishimoto composed the score. It was later re-released worldwide as Final Fantasy Type-0 HD for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows via Steam. It was announced for mobile phones, but released for the PlayStation Portable in October 2011 exclusively in Japan. The player can equip their party with weapons, accessories, and abilities, one ability slot being reserved for a support or defensive-type skill.Final Fantasy Type-0, originally developed and announced as Final Fantasy Agito XIII, is an action role playing game in the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series. There are fourteen playable characters who each have their own playstyle: some are fast, some are slow, some are ranged, some specialize in close-combat, and they have different proficiencies in magic use. There are some fighting game style elements like movement-canceling for skilled action players. Instead of navigating through menus, actions are mapped to the face buttons for quick access. Unlike Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, the combat is party-based. The battle system is an evolution of the “ATB Kai” system created by Takatsugu Nakazawa for Final Fantasy X-2, and later refined in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII. Much of the combat involves determining enemies’ weak points through Killsight, allowing players to deal a deathblow. The cadets each have unique playstyles based on their weapon and on their equipped abilities. Final Fantasy Type-0 uses fast-paced, action-based combat in which actions are mapped to face buttons rather than accessed through menus.
