FF TYPE-0 HD

The port itself is pretty average. It is still locked at 30 frames because it is a PSP game but you do get some extra graphics options such as texture quality and motion blur level. Also the PC port lets you change you character speed with the left stick click, which is super useful when traveling the world map or around the school.

The actual game has numerous flaws in it. There's no real indication for which missions have a lot of flying enemies in them, so you can effectively get stuck halfway through a mission because all you have are melee characters and can't really continue, or you'll have a much harder time with it.

There are these RTS-style missions which are absolutely terrible. You basically travel around a section of the map and "command" units to attack bases and take over control, but the controls are awful and it's possible losing one base means you have to restart the mission, or just give up.

There's a severe lack of any weapon progression in the game, with most of the good weapons being impossible to obtain unless you use a guide and sometimes only available on your second playthrough. I've put about 53 hours in to the game and i've only upgraded my weapons twice.

The story really makes no sense (though part of this is probably due to me changing the audio to Japanese because one of the main reasons I bought this game was for a voice actress) but the character interactions are neat and the sidequests have interesting narratives to them.

That being said it is my favorite Final Fantasy game and my 2nd favorite Action RPG omg I love this game so much.
