Both his movement speed and attack speed are on par or better, than that of Cater and Ace.

Out of the class, Eight has a higher experience requirement to level up, and demands for players to train their own skill and reflexes to properly play him, putting up a learning curve and skill gate to overcome.Īs compensation, Eight is quick. His MP pool is low and his damaging special attacks consume a lot of the ability gauge. Mixing all these techniques displays his true potential.Ī downside to Eight's battle style is his range as most of his attacks are close-ranged and ground-based, he will struggle reaching long-ranged, airborne enemies. The player can cancel his attacks to make infinite combos, and quickly maneuver to an opponent's side and gain extra damage for executing back attacks.

Since they’re all fun to play in their own right (even Deuce, who wields a flute), I have no problem with it.Demon Fists Eight is a playable character in Final Fantasy Type-0 who wields knuckles and fights with kicks and punches. While some may find it an excuse to pad the length, I personally love it, as there is real incentive to try out everyone. The game gives you pretty much everything up front, and to really succeed, you’ll need to have a balanced party to prevent a top-heavy situation from happening. Out of all 14 students, every single one of them has a unique skillset, from scythes to Magicite pistols to good old fashioned fisticuffs. From what I’ve played, this is absolutely true.

Type-0‘s big message is that every party member needs to be used, and everyone is viable. By sacrificing your leader one can bring out a temporary playable Eidolon summon like Ifrit (which is subsequently limited by a timer), or rely on reserve troops if your party starts to die out and dwindle.

The more one plays the deeper combat becomes, as you start to get into tactics like standing still to heal, holding ability buttons to charge them up beyond their limits, and absorbing souls from fallen enemies, Onimusha style. For the most part you’ll control three characters at once, with the ability to switch freely between them with the d-pad to adjust your tactics accordingly.
