According to Famitsu and a new interview with the game’s developers, the PSP role-playing game Final Fantasy Type-0 currently 80% complete. Although it was previously given a Summer release window , an apologetic SE now says it may be out this Fall. Director Hajime Tabata stated that the delay was due to the PSN outage which effected the game’s multiplayer components.

Speaking of which, in  Type-0 the multiplayer experience is purposefully short-lived. When you reach a save point, the external player is forced out from your game. There’s also a time limit for multiplayer sessions, although the time can be extended by helping the host player.
