When in battle, Ace, the white-haired boy, can perform attacks with different types of cards by using the analog stick and pressing buttons. Queen, the glasses-wearing brunette, hits enemies with combos and other special techniques.
Orience, the world in which Final Fantasy Type-0 is set, has four nations, each powered by a crystal, and each at war with each other. Each are named after the four major Chinese constellations. They are:
* Suzaku the blazing wing
* Byakko the steel arm
* Genbu the solid shield
* Seiryu the incorruptible eye
The twelve playable characters in Type-0 are from class zero in Rubrum, Suzaku’s magic school.
