Hexadrive clearly understands the importance of image quality and has taken measures to ensure that the resulting image is always crisp and clean. Anisotropic filtering is also used to an acceptable degree preventing textures from becoming blurry at oblique angles. SMAA 1Tx handles anti-aliasing duties, resulting in a sharp and clean image throughout thanks to its robust temporal component, where information from past frames is blended into the present. Let's get the basic stuff out of the way - the original 480x272 resolution of the game sees a sizable 17x bump to full 1920x1080 on both consoles. The final product is a mixed bag, but the sheer number of technical accomplishments on hand is very impressive. The talented Japanese development house has crafted a new engine with features rivalling any other modern renderer on the market today, with Square-Enix handling the spruced-up assets. The gap has never been so wide - porting from the almost eleven-year-old PSP hardware with its sub-PS2 spec is a gargantuan task and one that Hexadrive hasn't taken lightly. It may not seem like it at first glance, but Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is one of the most ambitious remasters we've played.
