I couldn't finish 'em. Looks like this's gonna get complicated.
The following tables are incomplete and require the mission-specific rewards entries to be filled. If you wish, please examine the table and add anything missing. Remove this notice upon completion.
Special Order.
Surely you’ve already been briefed on participating in the SO system, haven’t you? I trust that you’ll make the right decision in the matter. After all, Mother specifically designed the program for Class Zero, so refusing to participate would be equivalent to spurning her kindness.
Special Orders, or SOs for short, are optional objectives during missions in Final Fantasy Type-0. Players are tasked with fulfilling specific actions within a time limit to earn rewards, but risk Instant Death of the active party leader in the event of failure. Special orders are only given to Class Zero, the order to give them coming from Archsorceress Arecia Al-Rashia herself.
Completing an SO unlocks the achievement Make Mother Proud, and avoiding the death penalty for failing an SO unlocks the achievement Above the Law.
Gameplay[]
The appearance of SOs can be activated by talking to the Grandsorcerer at the Sorcery Division in Akademeia. When an SO is sent out, an "incoming" message appears on the screen and while active a letter icon stays on the top left corner. Pressing 
on the PlayStation 4, "Z" on PC, or the View button on the Xbox One gives the option to take the special order.
Completing special orders earns additional rewards, and completing certain special orders will reward the player with spells, equipment, or summons. The orders are various in nature, and can range from killing a specific number enemies with a Killsight within a time limit, to collecting items from surrendering troops.
Failing a special order causes three successive portals to appear under the active party member that cause instant death. However, these portals can be dodged with appropriate timing. The order is cancelled if the player leaves the area before completing it, but the buffs are maintained and the portals will not summon. The portals will not appear with an Eidolon active.
Variants[]
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)
Cid's Crucible.
There are two versions of the SO system where SOs must be accepted and completed to advance the missions they are present in. Because they are compulsory, these SOs will be activated even if the feature is initially turned off, and cannot be declined.
During Machina's Struggle, Machina receives SOs called "Will of the Crystal", reflecting the Focus given to him by the White Tiger Crystal. During "Invasion of the Rursus", Class Zero receives SOs called "Cid's Crucible", trials imposed by Marshal Cid Aulstyne. Failure to complete a crucible results in the automatic KO of the active leader and resets the area, forcing the party to start again from the entrance. Crucibles do not yield rewards upon completion.
Spoilers end here.
Rewards[]
Rewards earned at the end of a mission.
Completing a number of special orders during a mission yields awards in the report card.
- Completing 1-3 SOs during a mission yields an Ether or a Hi-Potion.
- Completing 4-9 SOs during a mission yields two Mega-Potions or Ethers or Phoenix Pinions.
- Completing 10+ SOs during a mission yields three X-Potions or Mega-Potions or Mega-Ethers.
List of Special Orders[]
Generic Special Orders[]
Generic SOs are given out randomly during missions, and don't yield rewards upon completion, but completing a number of SOs during a mission yields special bounties at the end of it.
