In the first week, after its Japanese only release, Final Fantasy Type-0 for the PSP enjoyed phenomenal success; by the end of the year, it out sold Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (PSP), Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3), and even Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, making it the best selling PSP title of 2011.

With near-perfect scores from Famitsu (39 out of 40) and Dengeki Magazine (91.25 out of 100), this was the game that all Final Fantasy fans needed, but only those with import inclinations and the ability to read Japanese could access.

Now, after a long time of waiting, pleading, and begging to Square Enix, our patience has been rewarded with an HD version of the game that got away.
