Final Fantasy Type-0! SO excited for this to finally get to the English fandom.
Good news is that unless the international version is more difficult on principle, the normal mode is like most FF games. Harder modes are only unlocked by clearing the normal mode with high rank. The world map does throw super high level monsters at you like XIII, but if you can make it to a town with at least 1 member still alive everyone revives. Phoenix downs are still a mystery to me and it does seem that you can't revive anyone during a fight/mission. That sucks, but the way missions are designed you're pretty much meant to plough on until everyone's dead and then 'retreat' because you always keep EXP.
I'm not great at action games but it's only in the final dungeon that I'm really stuck with the difficulty. So I think you'll be able to enjoy it a lot!
