2011 for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). It is an action role-playing
game where players take the role of Class Zero, a group of fourteen
students skilled in magic who are recruited by their superiors into a
war between the four nations of Orience. The players also engage in
large-scale strategy-based battles on the world map, and have access to
a multiplayer option during story missions and side quests. Developed by
the same staff as Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Type-0 was designed as
a departure from the traditions of the Final Fantasy series with its
action-based gameplay and dark storyline. It was originally planned for
both PSP and mobile, but the mobile version was cancelled in 2008. The
game met with commercial success in Japan, and favorable reviews both in
Japan and overseas. Plans for international versions were halted due to
the flagging PSP market in the Western world. The first non-Japanese
version of Type-0 was a fan translation into English in 2014. A high-
definition remaster was released worldwide in 2015.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
At Tara today in this fateful hour I place all Heaven with its
power, And the sun with its brightness, And the snow with its whiteness,
And fire with all the strength it hath, And lightning with its rapid
wrath, And the winds with their swiftness along their path, And the sea
with its deepness, And the rocks with their steepness, And the earth
with its starkness All these I place, By God's almighty help and grace,
Between myself and the powers of darkness.
--Saint Patrick
