Haha, based Arnie Roth taking the best possible announcement right out of Square Enix's mouth.
Seriously though this is awesome, and at this point I see no reason to believe this is a falsehood or mistake.
I'll be cautiously optimistic until Squeenix announces something... & that something includes the IZJS being released in the west.
SE did say that they'd consider a FFXII He if FfXHD sold well enough. Which I'm assuming it has. If this is indeed true then I'm glad. FFXII is by no means my favourite Ff, and I couldn't complete it. I sucked T the gambits. And the story wasn't that great, but I don't know how it ended so it could have ended pretty well. I'd love to give it another go though.
EDIT: Also need clarification on "remake". I can see a HD remaster, but I don't see them wasting efforts on a full remake.
Just heard about this, I guess it was to be expected after the success of the FF X Remaster. Cool for the fans of XII.
I hate XII tho so I'm not too interested :P haha
This better be real or I swear I'm gonna eat my shoe.
Remake seems to be used loosely for any type of re-release these days. I don't put much stock in the word given the context.
This is cool if it's true, but I'm waiting for the inevitable, "Square has joined the rest of the world in having no new original idea" comments and jokes to start.
As long as it's the IZJS version, I'll be happy with this. Been a few years since I properly played through FFXII so if this pans out, it will be fun to go through it again.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
This is interesting news... I suppose I'll indulge a bit of optimism for now and assume it will actually happen, as despite replaying this only a few months ago I would love an updated version. Hopefully they'll do more than simply spruce up the graphics, so for now I'll just wait to hear about a state-side IZJS.
I might play it if it comes to PC. Maybe I'll actually like it this time.
