{{nihongo|'''Final Fantasy Type-0'''|ファイナルファンタジー 零式|Fainaru Fantajī Reishiki}} is a video game for the [[PlayStation Portable]], which, alongside [[Final Fantasy XIII]] and [[Final Fantasy Versus XIII]], makes up the {{c|Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII}} series so far. The game is not a sidestory to Final Fantasy XIII; it is part of one story which will have shared themes and myths around which all the Final Fantasy XIII games will be centered. While a release outside of Japan has not been announced, Hajime Tabata is trying to appeal to the North American players in his direction of the game.

The game's plot is thought to be "massive" and is still being finalized as of June [[2009]]. The game is set in a magic school named Peristerium School of Magic, and will gradually expand to the larger world outside of the school. It is described as an online [[RPG]], but not "massively multiplayer". It has been revealed that Orience is the name of the world and that the antagonizing military country is called Milites. A peace treaty is supposed to be in effect with the world's four countries, but Cid of Milites has sent his l'Cie soldiers to war with the neighboring countries. Other areas have been revealed called Rubrum, Anaze, and Kogai.
The game is set within a place called Oriens, which is divided into four nations: the Suzaku Fiefdom of Rubrum, the Milites Empire, the Lorican Alliance, and the Kingdom of Concordia. Each nation has its own emblem (a phoenix, two tigers, a dragon, and a turtle, based on the Four Symbols) and is blessed with a crystal that grants them unique powers: Rubrum controls the Suzaku Crystal containing the power of Magic, Milites controls the Byakko Crystal containing the power of Weapons, Lorica controls the Genbu Crystal containing the power of the Shield, and Concordia controls the Sōryū Crystal containing the power of Dragons. The Crystals have the ability to mark humans as their countries' servants. These servants, called l'Cie, are branded with a symbol and are given a "Focus"—a task to complete. However, while blessed with long life, l'Cie are cursed to lose their memories over time. There are also summons called War Gods, only five are seen to be playable: Shiva, Ifrit, Golem, Bahamut, and Diablos.
 
From the IGN Impressions of the trailer that was debuted at Square Enix's closed door party, DKΣ3713, it was revealed that there is a militaristic nation that, due to the machination and rallies of their leader, began conquering all of its neighboring nations. The nation went unimpeded until they came across a lone island kingdom isolated from the rest of the continent that was apparently being protected by a giant crystal and is also said to worship a god named Suzaku. However, for reasons unknown, the crystal shatters, seemingly leaving the nation vulnerable to attack. The kingdom's fear is realized when a cloaked woman, wielding a "whip sword" along with other blades, appears with a massive army in formation behind her. The trailer continues with random bits of fighting in CG along with gameplay and ends with the main character sticking a flag, most likely that of the kingdom, into the ground, rallying his allies. It is also confirmed that the nation's military has been destroyed.
