Operation Suzaku: AKA WE WANT FFType-0!

[Goldenboko]

Final Fantasy Type-0 was original born as Final Fantasy Agito in 2006 at E3, a game destined for mobile phoning gaming. Eventually the name and platform where scrapped and Final Fantasy Type-0 for the PSP was born.

It has been 6 years since it's announcement and last year the game was finally released in Japan. It was a huge success, however SE has no release date for any other localizations! The people at Operation Suzaku hope to change that. They've created several Petitions in various languages to be sent to Yoichi Wada, Square Enix CEO. They already have 2,000 signatures and it has been up just one week (and down some due to Hurricane Sandy)! Help their cause and bring another Final Fantasy to the west!

To keep up with their progress, try following their twitter or liking their Facebook page! Good luck to these noble warriors! EoFF will continue to track this as more information on Final Fantasy Type-0 arises.

Yeah! I really like that. Now, I don't actually own a PSP or a PS Vita (Nintendo monopolises my handheld slot) so I also hope they port it to the PS3 or something. It looks really good!

Signed.

The director did an interview recently and it sounds like translating the game is on hold until the market factor change but he sounds like he really wants it released outside of Japan.

[Snakz92]

[Del Murder]

Dunno!

[Snakz92]

I'll leave this here then and hope someone signs it!

[Flying Mullet]

Do these ever work?

[Snakz92]

Honestly, I'm not too much of a fan of the wording of this petition. While it may be true that the game is deserving of an international release, shifts in the market definitely are a valid reason to withhold release or localization of a game.

I much prefer Operation Suzaku's efforts. It reaches out in more ways, with more creativity, and tries to show Square Enix that there is a reasonable demand among the fans for this game, and that it will be monetarily viable.

Between their penny petition, and the "We Have Arrived" campaign, Operation Suzaku is trying to show that not only do the fans want this game, they are willing to pay for it.

I don't want to emphasize market conditions, or reinforce to Square that the game itself deserves the release, I'd much rather simply reinforce to them that my wallet is ready and willing to shell out the cash to buy it, and that there are tons of others like me out there.

I'm not sure if I should sign this or not. On the one hand, it is definitely good to show more support and interest in this game, but on the other, I don't want to emphasize this particular petition's focal points. Hmm...

We Have Arrived campaign

We Have Arrived is a song from Final Fantasy Type-0 that can be purchased for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy on iOS ($0.99/0.89€).
In order to show Square Enix we actually have money for their game, you are all invited to download Theatrhythm on your iOS device, buy We Have Arrived (Music Stages > Purchase Songs > Bottom of the list), give the game a try and leave a fair comment on the App Store. At the end of your comment, add “And please release Final Fantasy Type-0 for the West”.

Our goal here is pushing We Have Arrived in the Top 10 DLC for Theatrhythm in as many countries as possible. A topic on the Square Enix official Forums will be then created so they can see how strong the demand is.

A worthy expenditure of a dollar, in my mind. If you have an android device, it's a great way to show support for this game, and if we can make a Type-0 song one of the most downloaded/purchased, it will be a good step in convincing Square to localize it.

I dont really have a say in the matter. i just wanted to share it. although im sure a much more legitimate petition will show up at some point.

I remember Operation Rainfall doing a similar event where they wanted everyone to purchase the original Final Fantasy on Virtual Console on the day of the European release I believe. Don't know if it was effective but hey I have the game now on my Wii.
