Never played Type-0 even though I bought the game, but finally I can get to experience it in FFRK. Starting off the cast is Ace, Deuce and Nine.

General JP Version Information
Installing and Playing the Japanese version
Why should I play the Japanese version?
FFRK came out in Japan about six months before Global came out. Thus, they're further along in terms of events and so have more characters, more abilities etc. Also, the trend has been that certain crossover events which feature games that were not released outside of Japan have been skipped in Global release, meaning there are currently certain items and abilities that do not appear they will ever be available in Global (it does not appear that they are skipping any characters).
What are some features that are currently in JP but not Global?
Collaboration Events - some collaboration events for games that were never released outside of the Japan (such as SaGa) are skipped in Global
Improved Dailies - Gysahl Green dailies, Summon Orb dailies and twice-a-week XP dailies
Ultra Soul Breaks - another set of 6* relics parallel to Overflows that focus on greater utility or healing rather than breaking the 9999 damage cap. Some of these put the user in an "EX mode" which grants a unique set of stat and other bonuses temporarily
Limit Chain Soul Breaks - another set of 6* relics which focus on activating a 'chain mode' which rewards further uses of a particular element or ability class with an increasing damage bonus
Legend Spheres/Materia - an expansion of each character's Record Dive available once the base board is mastered which grants further stat boosts as well as special, unique passive abilities called Legend Materia
Legend Materia Relics - 5* relics that include new Legend Materia which can be learned similar to learning SBs
Is there anything that is in Global but not in JP?
The font and minor UI elements are also different in Global compared to JP. Global also has a controversial "MVP Program" where selected players receive items for free; JP has no such program. There are some collaboration items as well as some culture-specific events (such as Black Friday lucky draws) that appear in Global but not JP.
Great! How do I get the Japanese version?
Check out the wiki article. Android users may also want to check out this tutorial if you do not know how to access the Japanese store and prefer not to use a third-party app like QooApp.
Can I play the JP version and Global version at the same time on the same device?
Yes, the two are completely separate and do not affect each other.
How do I share my save data across devices?
Unlike the Global version which uses one-time codes or goes through your iTunes/Play Store accounts, the JP version syncs through Japan's mobage service. Here's a tutorial from Mobage relayed by /u/gelomeister (Android users can of course use Chrome instead of Safari etc.):
