Type-0 is a PSP Vita game I think. Things might have changed since both of these games have been in the making for an insane amount of time.
Type-0 was a PSP game, it came in really late in the PSP lifetime (2011 or so, which is why it already looked really good).
But seeing it on PS4 is just mindblowing to me.
11 and 14 kinda don't count being mmorpg. Games. They shouldn't have been given numbers.
I kind of agree, they should have been officially categorized as subseries like Fabula Nova Crystallis, but they follow the same basic canon as the rest so I presume that's why.
But a ff game hasn't had a world map or world travel since ff9 . That's like a decade ago...
Since then, 10, 12, 13, 13 again, 13 again have all been linear loving zone to zone areas with no turning around. And the game ends.
Type-0 has a world map, a world map that is occasionally used to direct troops between areas in addition to your party. :V
Other than Type-0, I know 12 had a weird one too.
I agree that that jank ass linearization sucks though, they've been dumbing down a lot of gameplay aspects way too much.
wiki:
"True to Final Fantasy fashion, the world map is an open environment that the player is free to explore and roam about via a car, an airship, or a famed Chocobo. Players will also be able to ride Magitek Armor mechas."
ah forget yes! its like a real god damn game again. all those threats of being fired all the square-enix devs received last year for making nothing but spinoffs and b titles must have worked finally.
also magiteck mechas are fun as hell. ff6 and ff14 :D
I just hope they don't handle like garbage, RPGs have tried to integrate cars and the like before with terrible results, and I think this is the first time they'll really be trying anything with actual vehicles, discounting Magitek Armours that basically handled like larger players. My fingers are crossed.
