well it's an opinion, ;D but I have great feeling this will surpass all other Final Fantasies and rpgs and definitely the scenario, characters and everything is countless times more exciting and interesting than the other rpgs being shoveled out there these days.
It's about time there's a Final Fantasy seriously concentrated on the theme of war (instead of just being a background element in the story.), and the pain and weight that comes with it (FFTactics is considered a war story, but that's nothing compared to the actual all out war going on in Type-0 across 4 nations.)
And with 12 main characters, plus 2 extra characters with their own perspective in the story, this will be very interesting since this is one of the rarest rpgs that has an actual group of soldiers as the protagonists (Squall and friends don't count, Garden was more of a loosely connected mercenary faction that hardly functioned like an actual military.)
And also with the refreshing ensemble cast approach, it could be far more interesting than the usual rpg formula that mostly centers on just one specific character.
Also the battle system is looking to be very amazing. With 12-14 party members, each one has their own unique weapon, strengths and weakness, and with the Reserves system and how summons sacrifice a member to use their power (the sacrificed return after the mission) combat could be more strategic and varied while providing an intense real-time experience!

Final Fantasy Type-0 7 min gameplay part 2 05/21/11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhZ8_5ZeS6k#ws)

From what i've seen so far from the videos that you have post, the battle system, it reminds me of final fantasy XII. I didn't like the battle system of final fantasy XII and if on this one is going to be the same way, then i don't think that i will be very excited........
My top 5 list of final fantasy for me personally is:
Final fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy X
Final fantasy 6
Final fantasy VII
Final fantasy 4

Actually the battle system is closer to Versus XIII.
FFXII had an auto-attack system, but this is not auto attack and there is no time gauge between actions.
Each button can be assigned a different attack/spell/ability.
Also each character is extremely unique in weapon, special ability, strengths and weaknesses, besides personality, and there are 14 of them, each one virtually representing a different job/class.

Characters look meh to me. I don't think I would believe the "war" and I am sure tactics will remain a much better story even with less nations in the battle. It certainly won't uproot my top 10 rpgs no more then dissidia uprooted any of my favorite fighters. I hope it turns out good though but squenix has put out a lot of shovelware now.
-
This actually looks interestin :o
-
Final Fantasy to me is overrated, but this game looks ok. Not the GREATEST looking RPG, I have seen better role playing games generally speaking(Rogue Galaxy, Deus Ex, ect.). I like that this game will have co-op though, might trump Phantasy Star Portable 2 in re-playability(MAYBE, a big maybe). Eh, probably will check it out eventually.

Last FF I played was X. Got bored of the series after that.
And while I really loved the stroy in VIII, the battle system blew chocobos.

Why is that? I really liked the battle system of the game, you could spam the limit breaks of every character and by combining the strongest magic with their statuses, you could become a god in the game, very early!!!
Also many secrets to discover and the game with the cards, was also enjoyable!!! I for once, like it more than FF VII :P
-
indeed. battle system was great... chocobos in that game blew chocobos.

Gilgamesh, Eight and Alesia introduced ;D
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/05/24/ff_type_zero_update/ (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/05/24/ff_type_zero_update/)
Gilgamesh is a L'Cie, who has gained the power of the Genbu crystal but has forgotten its mission. He's apparently huge -- many times the size of the characters.
Gilgamesh is one of the game's giant bosses. You'll face off against many such bosses as you play through the game.
The "Genbu" name is one of the game's four Peristyliums, the others being Suzaku, Byakko and Souryu. These are located in four countries, respectively Lolica, Rebrum, Milites and Concordia.
The Genbu people, who reside in a harsh mountainous terrain, are mostly all soldiers. With the power of the crystal, they strengthen their bodies and cannot easily be defeated by weapons and magic.
Eight is a Class Zero student with short red hair. He's not a fan of weapons which take people's lives, so he chooses to fight hand-to-hand. Eight has a special ability which lets you unleash a variety of actions by pressing d-pad keys.
He has a competitive nature though he tries to maintain his composure at all times.
Arecia Al-Rashina (NPC) is head of Suzaku's magic division and overseas magic development. No one knows when she came to Suzaku. She's viewed somewhat as a sorceress who will do some unbelievable things at times.

3 party version of Crisis Core. I can best describe it like Kingdom Hearts, where you control the "leader" of the three-person party, while the other two characters are AI. The difference is, you have the ability to swap leaders with the other two characters in the party(basically like Julius mode in DoS). So, you have control over all three characters, not at once(like old FFs), but one at a time depending on how you choose to battle. When someone dies in your party, a member of the reserve team with fill their place. The overall amount of characters you get are, I believe, 12 or 13, and you only get a specific party of 3 during battles(think the final battle in FFVI, when one character in your four person party dies, another one shows up in their place).

brand new story trailer!
more characters revealed!
English Subs - FFType-0 [零式] Natsubi trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-9YGIO67ds#)
It seems like from Class ZERO, the ones remaining to be revealed are 3, 5 and 10.
This trailer reveals Seven, Jack and Deuce, as well as some NPCs and villains. This is actually the first trailer where Qator's character is introduced in cutscenes.

for those interested in more media and info:
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/07/26/ff_type_zero_interview/ (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/07/26/ff_type_zero_interview/)
On Main Characters
Tabata once again attempted to explain the game's unconventional handling of main characters. Type-0 is not told from a specific perspective. It's meant to show historically what actions were taken by Class Zero (this is the class the game's playable characters are in). So, rather than saying there's a main character, Class Zero is the main role. Tabata also reiterated that the Machina and Rem characters are special, although this doesn't mean that they're the main character and heroine.
"Tabata and the team have worked hard to depict the game as a story of war and all the conflicting emotions that brings; they have also not shied away from showing images of violence and blood that are usually not present in the style that is normal for Final Fantasy. They imply that they must be careful with these scenes to send the right emotions."
■ Deuce
Deuce is the brown-haired girl that wields a flute in battle. She is very loyal to her duties at Class Zero, and she is kind-hearted and good-natured even if she can be a bit stubborn. It seems as if manipulating the pitch of her instrument will cause different effects in battle. Her special ability “Concerto” will create an opening in which you will be able to attack an enemy targeting her.
■ Seven
Seven is the young woman whom wields a sword-whip. While her expressions are somewhat cold she is kind and good-natured. It is because of this personality that she has won popularity with the underclassmen at the Suzaku Peristylium. Seven’s sword-whip is able to come apart and damage enemies at both close and long range. Her special ability “Catch” seems to ignore elevation differences between Seven and her enemies.
■ Jack
Jack is the young man that has slicked-back hair and weilds a katana. He seems to always have a smile and is able to make wise-cracks easily. In dangerous surroundings he is encouraging his peers to take it easy. Jack’s play style is heavily involved with timed sword strikes, and his special ability “Surrender” is sort of a fake-out attack where he appears to surrender but then throws his weapon into an enemy.
3 more members to go!
Andoria
Andoria is the princess of Concordia, and has a special relationship with the Dragon Queen (which is also the Souryuu crystal) through this role. She respects order and discipline and has a noble and fair spirit.
■ Celestia
Celestia is from the nation of Concordia and is a member of the prestigious knighthood that protects the Souryuu Peristylium. She is very prideful of her nation.
■ Phantoma
Phantoma will play a large part in the game in the field and how your characters will progress and evolve their magic. When enemies are defeated, you can draw Phantoma from their corpses which comes in three colors: red, yellow, and purple. Doing this will restore your MP in different amounts depending on that color, but where Phantoma is really useful is the development of Class Zero’s magical assets.
■ Magic
The three main schools of offensive magic in Final Fantasy Type-0 are Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder spells. The spells themselves can be modified so that the function in very different ways although they are of the same element. They can be altered to have similar effects to shotguns, rifles, bombs, missles, and rocket launchers. Dengeki lists:
SHG: Shotgun-type magic that is powerful at short range but fires in a wide shot with little range.
RF: Long-distance magic with a narrow shot that shoots straight for the target.
BOM: Powerful at close range and can be used to make quick work of swarming enemies.
MIS: Homing magic that will chase after an enemy. At higher levels it will follow longer.
ROK: Magic that is aimed over-the-shoulder. When it strikes it will deal damage to adjacent targets.
For example, the spell “Fire-RF” will function as a long-range “rifle” shot of fire.
■ Altocrystarium
Similar to Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Type-0′s Crystarium will serve as the basis for developing character skills. For magic, the article cites that to refine “Fire-RF” to a higher level of magical potency, six red Phantoma must be used. You will be able to alter the attributes of your magic such as: potency, MP efficiency, casting time, range of fire, and rate of fire.

One of the characters, Seven I think, looks like a younger Lightning.
From what I understand thins thing is built on the same engine as CC:FF7.
Wasn't it nice back in the day when SoM was Square's action RPG and FF was an actual RPG? I miss those days. I also miss the days when every game square made DIDN'T have the fucking final fantasy label attached to it. I know they were pushing this as part of the FF13 series at first but I guess at some point they just had to admit that it really hasn't got a damn thing to do with FF13.

a good final fantasy that isn't tied to a 90's title?

Looks like Steve Blum might have spilt the beans about a localized version on Twitter, the tweet was later removed.
And for those who dont know, he's voicing a guy named King for a Final Fnatasy game, who just so happens to be in Type 0.
Edit: Turned out to be false, sorry.
