Final Fantasy XIII was originally planned as a grand creation spanning three different games with varying styles of play. The first came out as planned, but the other two - Final Fantasy Type-0 and what is now Final Fantasy XV - didn't quite come together as expected. After being released three years ago on the PSP in Japan, Type-0 is finally making its way to the West in HD form for the PS4 and Xbox One. Although there are some issues with the transition to HD platforms, I came away from New York Comic Con generally impressed.

Final Fantasy Type-0 focuses on a class of students from a military school who are aptly called "Class 0". The demo focused on the students invading a rival military base, with three out of the 14 playable characters available for use: the card-wielding Ace, the duel-wielding Rem, and the sword-whip using Seven. It definitely has the feel of a Final Fantasy game, with distinctly anime-styled characters, giant enemies, and even magitek armor, but it's also clearly noticeable that Type-0 was originally a PSP game.

The voice acting is pretty horrid at times, especially from the NPCs, as each word poorly matches up with mouth movements. There are sections where the voice acting shines, however, especially during the pre-mission narrations that are reminiscent of old war film reels from the 40s and 50s.
