I played this game. It was very nice but the language was Japanese. I heard the English version will be released by march.

message: There's been a good bit of controversy regarding the spin-off, mainly due to its complete change in gameplay formula. A user on YouTube, ZacharyZoomer, has managed to start a small amount of said controversy, and has later cited the results of the merger as the most probable cause. It continues to grow.
I was wondering if this controversy should be mentioned in the article. --173.59.197.62 (talk) 15:26, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually saw the video in question and that comment. Just over 7000 views on YT, though, suggests that, even if he has a point, this isn't the fandom crying out in pain over some atrocity of game design. We'll see what the critical reception to the game is when it (finally) comes out in December. Axem Titanium (talk) 01:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to add on that unless people are rioting in the streets, it's not really notable either way.  Dfsghjkgfhdg (talk) 04:56, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Or is it? Fan reception is also important, and 7000 views isn't bad for a game that, let's face it, isn't that well-known. For now, we should wait until the game is released. Robert Berkshire (talk) 01:42, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's still a big negative.  Fan reception is notable if it can be documented.  7,000 views is not much in my opinion, but what would be important for establishing if it was would be some sort of YouTube analyst claiming that it is; Wikipedia doesn't include OR.  In addition to that, it should be considered that 7,000 views of a video doesn't mean 7,000 people voicing that opinion or even caring about its content after watching, and, as I said already, even if they did all hold that view, I imagine it'll ship more than 7,000 units, in which case their opinion is not really special in the spectrum of opinions that would sure to be had.

thread_title:  Tad Bit of Controversy? 

message: The first or second paragraph, regarding who the player controls, revealed a huge spoiler in regards to Aya's true nature in this game - those who have either played the game or read the Plot description will know what I'm talking about. It simply doesn't make sense for such a thing to be revealed that early on the page, especially when that part of the page is for general information. If someone wants to know about such a critical tidbit of the storyline - one which is revealed mere moments before the game's close and could be described as the game's largest plot twist - they can read the Plot description. Otherwise, I fear you would be spoiling the game for individuals who are simply looking for information. 
I've already changed it, but folks are welcome to discuss changing it back.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.133.133 (talk) 00:08, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Quick question about the current wording of the part about "Overdrive". The article says that her consciousness can jump to different bodies in order to avoid too much damage/dying in her own body. I was just curious as to the repercussions of this. Is her old/original body still left open for damage after she leaves? Does the player need to go retrieve the body eventually? How long does the player stay in the new body? Indefinitely? Time-limit? For the level? I imagine whatever the answer is, it's probably an aspect of the gameplay design that may be worth mentioning, even if very briefly. Sergecross73 msg me 16:34, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: , I've done a rewrite to better define how Overdive works, as well as how it is very much tied into the NPC system. Hope it looks better. --ProtoDrake (talk) 17:23, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the new additions help understanding the concept quite a bit, thanks. One last question on this - what happens to the "Aya body" when she jumps into another body. Does the computer AI take her over? Does her body disappear? Something else? Other than that the concept makes complete sense now. Sergecross73 msg me 18:04, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Said what controls the soldiers when Aya isn't using them, and if you want me to explain Overdive completely, you might as well turn this into a dedicated wiki page, because it's complicated, and a gameplay-story fusion that I haven't seen anywhere else. That's part of the problem with this bloody game. Why couldn't they make it a straight action RPG --ProtoDrake (talk) 19:14, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Apologies, I must have misread it. Sorry, I wasn't trying to move it into game guide territory. Sergecross73 msg me 19:59, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

text: I looked up and down and all around for total sales figures, but found nothing that I could cite here. It's generally accepted that it sold under a million copies worldwide, so I highly doubt anyone would have taken note of that. Oh, and the PSP game sales wasn't exactly what caused Type-0 to be delayed until Type-0 HD, it was international platform sales, not the poor sales of individual games, that brought a halt to localization. --ProtoDrake (talk) 13:49, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what I figured. And yeah, thinking back, I don't think that this game in particular was singled out for halting Type 0 PSP in English, but rather, the general collapse of the PSP market around that time... Sergecross73 msg me 14:20, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
