Square Enix taking a “clean slate” approach in terms of plans for bringing Final Fantasy Type-0 to the west By Erren Van Duine on November 2, 2012 at 11:45 AM

Square Enix has yet to localize Final Fantasy Type-0 due to market reasons.

That’s quite obvious given the state of the PSP outside of Japan. One could argue the company waited too long to make any localization decision on the title, but Hajime Tabata has provided a few words instead that may encourage you.

“Due to market reasons, we are taking a clean slate in terms of our plans. We feel strongly about bringing this title to the fans in North America and Europe, so if an opportunity arises that can become a conclusive factor, we are prepared to go into consideration right away,” Tabata told GameSpot when asked about a possible release for Type-0 in North America and Europe.

Vague words to be sure, but at least he’s acknowledged it. Other highlights of the interview include Tabata’s history at Square, and a bit of insight on Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. You can read the rest of the article here.

    We pretty much figured it had to do with the market since day one. Now it’s just a matter of figuring out what they mean by “clean slate”. Sounds like they are looking for a fresh start. The opprotunity to start over. This could very well be on a new platform unless PSVita starts doing better.

    It sucks that he hasn’t finished FFVI and FFXII. Those two are the best 2D and 3D FF games, respectively. He could learn a lot from the those games in terms of story, gameplay and world design.

    However, I’m happy that he believes that an open world is important for the future success of the franchise.

    Ok. So now we know it WILL come to Europe, but not WHEN it is supposed to be released in the west, right?
