Final Fantasy Type-0 English Translation Completed and Released

[T-hug]

On Dec 30, 2012, GBAtemp member SkyBladeCloud created a thread here called 'Final Fantasy Type-0 RomHacking'.
Sky proposed a full English translation of the PSP Japan exclusive; Final Fantasy Type-0.
Fast forward to June 8th 2014, after 181 pages of posts, the project has been completed and is now available to download.

For more information check out the project's homepage at SkyBladeCloud

Wonderful news, congrats on the successful translation, SkyBladeCloud and team.

Do I have to merge the ISO before putting the translation?

No, I think you can just use it on either of the two. At least, both spit out a ~2.7GB iso and someone said using it on part 1 works.

Superb work. Now I can enjoy this badboy

is there a mirror for the patch that doesnt use mega?
and why are both the patch and the merging thing so gigantic? is that supposed to be so?

You don't need the merging thing, you can just patch either of the two isos and it'll work.
Also, it's probably so huge because it includes the video files (which is pretty much the reason why the game was split in two isos normally, because they're too large)

 

[Clydefrosch]

so patching one iso gives out the complete game then, as if it was merged first?

Yes.

Awesome. One of the few Final Fantasy games I genuinely like. Glad I can dust off the ol' PSP.

 

[kirbymaster101]

YES. Have something to play during the summer!

From someone who's been varying degrees of disappointed with Recent Final Fantasy titles... is this worth playing? Or would this be another entry in the "not even worth pirating" list?

 

[Pedeadstrian]

It's always great to see projects like these actually completed. Too often they they're stuck in limbo. It's downloading now! I hope it runs on my PS3. (:

Well shoot: http://www.destructoid.com/final-fantasy-type-0-is-coming-to-ps4-and-xbox-one-276371.phtml

I wonder if they'll just "borrow" SkyBladeCloud's translation?

And Square pwns you only a few days later. sad.

Not really. The remaster is only for PS4 and Xbox One. It would have been worse if it was for PS3 and/or Vita.

I played the demo awhile back (entirely in Japanese), and it definitely got me interested in the title. It's different, but in a good way. I'd check out some gameplay videos, and if it looks interesting to you, give it a shot. Personally, for me, this is half the reason I'm buying myself a second PSP after selling off my first a couple years back.

Not really. This is still the only portable version translation available, and Square has voiced no plans to bring the FF Type-0 HD version to the Vita, despite the fact that it was Vita fans that wanted it more than anybody else, transitioning from trying to get it over on the PSP back when it initially released. Of course, the Vita thing might change with the uproar surrounding the decision to not bring the game to Vita, but with how game companies operate, I wouldn't bet on them changing their mind.

I wouldn't trust Square Enix with their reaction to fan uproar. Just look at the FFVII PS3 demo. Since then they've remade several games, and what do they do for FFVII? Give us a crappy PC port with stupid DRM.
