• Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age - coming to PS4 in 2017!


    The wait has been long, but the time has finally come! Final Fantasy XII has finally been confirmed for an HD rerelease, and it's the Zodiac Job system version!

    The announcement came in the form of a teaser trailer (linked below) that showcases the game's improved HD visuals. The characters and environments are looking better than ever!

    According to various sources (neogaf forums), we can expect more than just a simple graphical update. As this version of the game will be based on the Japan-only International Zodiac Job System release, we can expect all of the extra features from that game, including a Job System, turbo mode, and a choice between Japanese and English voices, both of which are getting enhanced for the HD version. The soundtrack is also getting a remaster (is this what Arnie Roth spoiled us on?), and you will be able to switch between the original and rearranged soundtrack, just like in FFX HD for PS4 and Steam. We can also expect the usual upscaling of FMVs, shorter loading times, and an auto-save feature.

    For now, the only platform given is the PS4, but fans are already talking about a Steam port in the future. Though I'm personally disappointed this is not heading to a handheld as well, this news is still great!

    Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is coming out in 2017.


    Are you excited? Will you pre-order this? Let us know!

      Yay! This isn't like a very overdue April Fools, is it?

      Very exciting news. Looking forward to it. This will please many people, I'm sure. The whole thing has been eagerly expected for years.

      If anything, I'm most looking forward for Turbo mode. Because the grinding/farming/hunting can be very tedious.

      EDIT: Oh no, are Vaan's abdominals still as weird looking as I remember? Ugh.

      I don't get why people don't like Vaan's abs. They fit in with the art style, imo

      I'm Captain Basch Von Ronsenburg of Dalmasca!

      So, as you can imagine, I'm very excited to see myself in upscaled, anti-aliased HD glory. It'll be a good way for me to get over all of Ondore's lies (which you totes should not listen to btw).

      Are the jobs locked in this game? If so that will be very disappointing and not fun. I hope they'll give an option to switch because if I choose something in the beginning I don't like I'll have to restart the game just to change it and I might not like the one I change to.
