I've been working on this GT on and off for several years sort of by accident, with the most recent being Awakening. Due to a number of factors, it's unlikely that this series will see future expansion, so this topic is likely to be a stable one overall. The Type-0 series as a whole has also received media attention and notoriety due to a number of factors, including the lack of localization for the original game and the production and fate of its mobile spin-offs. Thanks for reviewing! --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:21, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
(Note: There is a parallel FT nomination for Fabula Nova Crystallis, the subseries of which Type-0 forms a part. That nomination is dedicated to the subseries article and its three core titles, but given their distinct nature in gameplay and tone, combined with the unique nature of the FNC series, it doesn't make sense to merge them into a single topic.)
- Support: Seems like a coherent topic, a game and its remaster and minor spin-offs and an associated FL. All are at GA, all are linked by navboxes; seems like there should probably be a category within Category:Final Fantasy video games for these. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:19, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Category created and added. --PresN 17:19, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support: Nice to see all this excellent work culminate in one well done topic! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:10, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Includes the main game, its characters, its port and two heavily related spin-offs in the same universe. Seems to meet the scope of topic. Great work. Happy to support once the trans-title parameters are filled in for the Japanese references (also it would great if you could add some free images of the developers for Type-0 and related which there already appears to be avaiable but I won't let that hold up the nomination).

- @Spy-cicle: I went and added trans-titles myself to all 5 articles. --PresN 16:14, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Commentsthe references are not needed in the infoboxes of Final Fantasy Agito and Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, as the information they are used for is already sourced in the body. Also, the usage of Square Enix Blog and similar sources in articles of this topic does not strike me as entirely reliable though in general,these articles look good and will make a fantastic topic. --K. Peake 17:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)- @Kyle Peake: Infobox issue sorted. But I feel I must defend the use of SQEX's official blog and similar primary sources. Usually they're either the most reliable or the only sources for the cited information. I've only used fan websites and similar when they are original interviews, otherwise going for other sources. --ProtoDrake (talk) 18:19, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- ProtoDrake Thank you for explaining the sources; I do understand why these blogs are different from the ones written against at WP:SELFPUB with proper context. --K. Peake 18:57, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
