%%** Trey: [[ArcherArchetype Bow]]

An UpdatedRerelease has also been made for the Platform/PlayStation4 and Platform/XboxOne, which [[LateExportForYou finally allowed the game an international release in 2015]] (March 17 in the USA, 19 in Japan, and 20 in Europe, along with a Steam release on August 18), bundled together with a voucher for the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV: Episode Duscae'' demo. Due to its BloodierAndGorier nature compared to the rest of the franchise, ''Type-0 HD'' is the first ''Final Fantasy'' game to receive a "Mature" (17+) rating in the USA's ESRB system, and "C" (15+) for Japan's CERO.

* EleventhHourSuperpower:
** Should Class Zero fall against [[spoiler:Shinryu Celestia]] in Chapter 5, the Eidolon [[spoiler:Bahamut ZERO]] is summoned to win the battle in their place.
** [[spoiler:From their crystal stasis, Machina and Rem are able to revive Class Zero with enhanced power that will last them until their {{Heroic Sacrifice}}s against Cid/Gala. This includes auto-Haste, HP/MP regeneration, and auto-Life.]]
** PowerUpLetdown: [[spoiler:During the bad ending, the player can locate a bottle of Phoenix Ichor, which promptly provides them with enough EXP to kick their level up to the nineties. But enemies during the final mission are scaled to your level, and being l'Cie means you're pretty much hitting the damage cap anyways; all this does is amp up the Rursus' levels and HP, which makes it harder to survive the onslaught of Rursus for bragging rights]].

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Most of the Eidolon classes except have at least one Eidolon which is drastically different from the others.
** Ifrit Class: [[JackOfAllTrades Jacks of All Trades]]. Calamity: CripplingOverspecialization.
** Golem Class: {{Mighty Glacier}}s. Orge: LeeroyJenkins.
** Diabolos Class: {{Gravity Master}}s. Baalberith: GoodOldFisticuffs.

A game in the [[RunningGag war-declaringly popular]] ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series and second entry of the ''Franchise/FabulaNovaCrystallisFinalFantasy'' sub-series, ''Final Fantasy Type-0'' (originally known as ''Final Fantasy Agito XIII'' until late January 2011) is an EasternRPG originally released for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable. As with the other ''FNC'' games ([[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII the]] ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2 XIII]]'' [[VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII trilogy]]), ''Type-0'' shares some concepts with the other games but are entirely independent of each other. The game was originally bound for cellphones, but this was changed early in development. The PSP original was released in Japan on October 27, 2011, and never saw a stateside release (save for a fan translation project. The original blog is now defunct, but can be visited [[http://web.archive.org/web/20150822131338/http://www.skybladecloud.net/we-have-arrived/ here using the Wayback Machine]]).

* AsLongAsThereIsOneMan: The structure of the FinalBoss battle. [[spoiler:Machina and Rem’s spirits summon the Class Zero members one by one to slowly weaken the Rursan Arbiter and absorb the Phantoma from him. Doing so kills off the current character, so another is brought in his/her stead, and the process repeats itself eleven times, with the last person standing to witness his death.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Orience was previously spelled "Oriens" and "Oriense" before receiving an official spelling in ''VideoGames/TheatrhythmFinalFantasy''.

* ShinySense: How most items on the ground are obtained.

A short lived mobile game, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyAgito'', released for iOS and Android in 2014 before shuttering in 2016, taking place in a different timeline to that of ''Type-0'' but with the same setting. It received a successor made primarily for the Chinese market titled ''Final Fantasy Awakening'', which lasted a little longer, from 2016 to 2020, though outside its target country it flew under the radar, with the biggest exposure it got being briefly promoted in an episode of ''[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers [=SMG4=]]]''. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really.]]

An alternate companion game, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyAgito'', has been released for iOS and Android, taking place in a different timeline to that of ''Type-0'' but with the same setting.

Oddly, after the original blog was deleted, someone else took it and made new posts, while saving the old ones).

%%** Nine: [[BladeOnAStick Spear]]

* BladeOnAStick: Nine uses a spear, along with his [[StoneWall high defense and HP]].

* WhipItGood: Seven' [[WhipSword whipblade]] boasts the longest reach of any melee fighter.

* TierInducedScrappy: In-universe, Thunder RF was on the receiving end of this, being the ''only'' spell of the [[FireIceLightning three core elements]] that did not receive a -II class.

* BareYourMidriff: Happens quite often thanks to the uniform designs of Class Zero's girls. Their shirt itself only comes down to their hips, some of them like Rem's are even more shorter leaving a little midriff exposed.

* ATasteOfPower: The opening mission, which also serves as a tutorial for the battle system, has the party under constant Reraise. Then there's the first time an Eidolon is used in battle, which is Odin. The latter is lampshaded by Jack prior to entering that battle, as it is explained there is a Special Eidolon who can be summoned without costing the summoner's life.

** The more specific a Special Order is, the more likely you'll be able to find a loophole. For example: during Operation MA Demolition, you receive a Special Order to get to point X without taking damage. You ''could'' trigger the Special Order as soon as it is received and mash the dodge button until you reach point X... ''or'' you could [[KillEmAll murderize everything]], walk up to point X, trigger the Special Order, and then take one more step - at which point, the Special Order is considered 'complete'.

* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:Turns out [[PhysicalGod Arecia]] knew all along that Orience was trapped in one, as part of her and the Rursan Arbitor's experiment to see which of them gets to open the gate to the Invisible World -- the latter through [[KillEmAll sacrificing billions of lives]], Arecia through the "mighty souls", which come in the form of the sixteen students of Class Zero. However, within the last ''600,104,971'' iterations of this cycle, [[YouCantFightFate Class Zero has been doomed to fail Operation Apostle each time by becoming l'Cie and dying in battle]], and Orience to destruction because of Cid's actions, and along the way four such pawns were abandoned, leaving only twelve to try and hold off [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Finis]] long enough for either deity to finish their own experiment, each being apparently an AnthropomorphicPersonification of a given power: Ace represents trust, Deuce kindness, Trey knowledge, Cater courage, Cinque innocence, Sice persistence, Seven understanding, Eight calmness, Nine action, Jack ignorance, Queen intelligence, and King resolve. Come the 600,104,972nd cycle, Machina and Rem, two such "abandoned" pawns, representing fear and love respectively, helped the twelve defeat Cid -- [[BittersweetEnding not that this keeps Machina and Rem from crystallizing and their classmates from dying, though]]. Fortunately, their actions, [[ScrewDestiny which changed Orience's destiny]], convinced Arecia (with some help from Joker and Tiz, the two remaining "abandoned" pawns, representing pain and decrepitude respectively) to revive Machina and Rem and allow them to record their classmates' deeds 50 years later; and at best, she abandons the experiment altogether and [[CosmicRetcon changes history]] such that [[RetGone the crystals would cease to exist]], giving Class Zero and Kurasame [[EarnYourHappyEnding another chance at life as a]] WackyHomeroom of sorts.]]

* KillEmAll: In the end, [[spoiler: only two members of Class Zero survives the end. (and in one of them's case they have died once.) And that's not counting the side characters and everyone who died during Tempus Finis.]] Seriously, this game has the highest body count in a Final Fantasy ever.
