No, the most noticeably ugly thing about the game is the character models. Square Enix has done an excellent job of hiding it as much as possible – environments are actually really quite gorgeous, and while the overworld looks a little like an old PlayStation One Final Fantasy game, the art direction throughout is consistent and the world conveys scale, even if it looks simple. Short of rebuilding it from scratch, it was always going to be a game with some ugly assets that simply don’t look as good on a big HD TV as they did on the tiny, low resolution PSP screen. It’s a PSP game, designed to run on a tiny screen and with some of the most primitive 3D hardware ever produced, that has been blown up for the most powerful console yet. Let’s get something out of the way right away: Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is not an attractive game.
