Final Fantasy Type-0 HD: The world on the shoulders of fourteen young warriors.

The Crystal States of Orience have been granted great power in the form of Crystals; ancient powerful artefacts capable of bestowing great power on any individual. The Militesi Empire, in an effort to attain this power for themselves, launched an assault on the other states of Orience. Twelve students from the Vermillion Peristylium, a magical academy in the Dominion of Rubrum, are called to fight against the charging Militesi. As these young warriors becoming entangle within the war, they begin to unravel the secrets behind the attacks and along with it, the secret behind the existence of the crystals.

As with almost every Final Fantasy title produced, Type 0 HD will be an action RPG title which will let players take control of the fourteen young warriors that the game centres around. The battles will be on a real-time, action based system, with characters brandishing their own unique weapon and activating special abilities. Players will be controlling three players at a time, able to switch between them while the AI system takes over for players not in control.

The environment, very much like in Final Fantasy XII and XIII, will be to scale with the in-game characters, creating a more realistic and immersive style of gameplay. Part of these to-scale environments is the large-scale battles players can anticipate to take part in on the world map; some missions will see players command military divisions with the objective of liberating cities and towns from enemy forces.

Although originally a PlayStation Portable title, no new gameplay content was ported to Type-0 HD. Instead the focus has been on upgrading the graphics and adjusting existing gameplay for the Xbox One and PS4.
