Welcome to Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, a fast-paced action RPG where you command Class Zero, a group of 14 students from a prestigious military academy. You'll navigate treacherous missions across the Dominion of Eug, mastering each character's unique abilities and fighting for survival in a world consumed by war. It's a story-rich experience with a fantastic soundtrack, perfect for players who enjoy deep combat and a compelling narrative.

This guide is here to help you conquer every challenge Type-0 HD throws your way. We'll cover navigating the game's missions, mastering the diverse character abilities, and achieving the coveted Gold Medals in combat. Whether you're aiming for all the Steam Achievements or just trying to survive the brutal onslaught of bosses like the Ultima Dragon, this guide will equip you with the knowledge to succeed.

Intro

Welcome to Final Fantasy Type-0 HD! This guide covers essential controls, combat basics, and menu navigation to get you started on your journey through Class Zero.

Hey there! So you're diving into Final Fantasy Type-0 HD? Awesome! This guide is here to make sure you're not completely lost when you first boot up the game. Think of me as your friendly guide, helping you get the hang of things before you jump into the thick of it with Class Zero.

This game originally came out on the PSP, and this HD version is a fantastic way to experience it. Since it didn't get an official English release back in the day, finding info could be a pain. But don't worry, I've played through it and gathered everything you need right here, using the official HD version's terms so you're all set.

We'll cover the controls first – they're pretty important, obviously! You'll see a breakdown of what each button does, both when you're out exploring and when you're in the heat of combat or navigating menus. Pay close attention to the field and combat controls; getting these down will make your life a lot easier.

Controls Overview:

Here's a quick look at what your buttons do:

Necessary control adjustment:

Now, listen up – this is a pro tip! The default 'Hold R' to lock-on can feel a bit clunky. I *highly* recommend changing this to 'Press R'. It makes targeting so much smoother in combat. Here's how the 'Press R' settings work:

SettingAction
Activates Lock-OnHold the R button for about 1 second
Switches between targetsWhile activating Lock-On press the left or right d-pad
Switches to the closest enemyWhile activating Lock-On press the up d-pad
Switches to the closest item / dead enemyWhile activating Lock-On press the down d-pad
Deactivates Lock-OnWhile activating Lock-On press the R button

Trust me, making this small change early on will save you a lot of frustration. Getting used to these controls is the first step to mastering Class Zero. Let's get you ready for Chapter 1!
