Popular Post crimsonidol38 Posted June 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age is officially making its way to North American and European shores in 2017! Players can expect several modern advancements when they return to Ivalice, including a reconstructed battle design and a revamped job system. I am excited for North America and Europe to experience several all-new gameplay features, including The Zodiac Job System and Trial Mode for the first time!Updated Graphics We’re thrilled to give players a chance to return to Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, so we’ve updated the visuals to full HD resolution, including the environments, characters, and movie scenes to make sure they look their best on PlayStation 4.Newly recorded soundtrack Final Fantasy XII’s soundtrack features some of the most beloved songs in the series’ history, and this was a perfect opportunity to revisit its epic score. We’ve re-recorded FFXII’s background music using the current generation of sound production, now in true 7.1 surround. For the purists out there, you have the option to switch between the new and original versions of the score at any time.Improvements from the International version of FFXII Hardcore Final Fantasy fans in the US may remember that an International Version of the game was released that included a new character growth system, as well as various other improvements to the game’s interface. We are happy to report that The Zodicac Age integrates all of these features and updates, so North American fans can finally experience them for themselves. Modern advancements including PlayStation 4 Trophy support and Share functionality, auto-save, shortened loading times, overlaid location map and more are new!

Lucas Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Nice! I've never really played a FF game before and this together with the FF7 remake might get me into playing more of the FF games and liking them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Well it seems Omar got his wish. I have mixed feelings about FFXII: the story and most characters are meh and I remember it was necessary to travel a lot to get bits and pieces of story progression. The locations were nice and diverse, so were the enemies. Then there was that Yiazmat fight ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intresseklubben Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The only FF I ever played and I was pretty lukewarm about it to be honest. Might give it another go if it looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDRAG-K Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 One of the few FF games I've never played. Usually hear good things about it, so I'm looking forward to trying it for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonidol38 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Personally I owned a copy of the game but sold it more or less unplayed (maybe half an hour or so what I played). I heard that the story and the characters are not as sympathic as in other FFs but I really like the fact that this game takes place in the Ivalice. I really enjoyed Vagrant Story (I know it has nearly nothing in common with the actual universe) and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance back in the day and I love my fix of Bangas and Viera.

Lance_87 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) This could've been a perfect game for PS3, but i guess it's too late now. I would've preferred a "selector" between Vanilla and IZJS modes, too, but this is better than nothing. Oh well, if this remaster finally exists, it means it'll also get a PC port sometime in the future, just like all the other main entries (except I and II... for now) Edited June 6, 2016 by Lance_87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowReplicant Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hell yeah. I didn't love FF XII when I first played it, but after the complete train wreck that was the Fabula Nova Crystallis era of FF games, I can say that this will feel like an absolute masterpiece in comparison. Can't wait to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesk8vaincra Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The only ff since ff6 that i havent finished because my ps2 died juste after i bought my ps3 and i havent had the courage to begin the game from scratch. Now it is time :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniq Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Great that they decided to do a proper remaster instead of emulating the PS2 version. Looking forward to this. Haven't played it as much when it came out because I already had a 360 by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed Vagrant Story (I know it has nearly nothing in common with the actual universe) and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance back in the day and I love my fix of Bangas and Viera. Actually every game taking place in Ivalice actually takes places in the same world, just on different ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonidol38 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Added the features as someone translated them (can be found in this section http://www.jp.square-enix.com/ff12_tza/#sct2): Improved graphics with new tech 7.1 sound Japanese/English voice Original and newly arranged music Shorter loading times auto save mode Improved faster speed mode https://twitter.com/xenosaga7/status/739747384717021184 Actually every game taking place in Ivalice actually takes places in the same world, just on different ages. I read about that. The only thing that makes Vagrant Story stand out is that it only plays in one "city" and that it has no common characters from the FF-universe (may be wrong about this as I played in 2001 or 2002). And AFAIK the connection was build in retrospect. Edited June 6, 2016 by Crimson Idol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Meh, XII is not one of my favorites. The only fun thing about it are the marks, and at the end of it you have one hell of a trolling. At least this gets me closer to my IX remaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I love XII. Can't wait for this. I just really hope they give us the option to invert the camera this time. Always my biggest issue with the game and the big reason I haven't replayed it in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
