Originally announced as Final Fantasy Agito XIII in 2006, Final Fantasy Type-0 (http://www.evilavatar.com/news/reinvented-final-fantasy-type-0) has since transformed from a cell phone game to a full-fledged Sony PSP title spread across two UMDs. This week, Square Enix released a free demo of the Japanese version of the game via PlayStation Network and its official Final Fantasy Type-0 website (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/fabula/0/download/). We braved the hazards of Japan's PSN and downloaded the demo for a test drive, even though Square hasn't announced a U.S. release for the game.
Type-0 takes place within the Fabula Nova Crystallis universe of the Final Fantasy series, which it shares with <a href="/games/ps3/final-fantasy-13/>Final Fantasy XIII</a> and <a href="/games/ps3/ff-xiii-versus/">Versus XIII. The unifying element of the Fabula franchise is the importance of crystals, which play an integral part in shaping each game's world. Type-0's is set in a time of multiple warring empires powered by crystals inspired by gods of the Chinese zodiac, such as Suzaku and Byakko. The game hints at a rich history that isn't fully explored in the demo, but the tension between opposing empires is obvious. Type-0's main cast is comprised of a number of students who belong to a group called Class Zero. Class Zero attends a magic school named Rubrum Peristylium Suzaku; naturally, their homeland houses and protects the Suzaku Crystal.
