I do hope this is true, although until Square Enix announces it themselves I'm staying guarded. And I hope it is the IZJS version! I've yet to play that yet!
It really only makes sense for it to be the IZJS version, if the FFX Remaster is anything to go by. Why would they settle for a downgrade?
Soon we'll get our hands on it, Formy, I'm sure
I just hope it's also on Vita.
At a Final Fantasy Distant Worlds Concert in Pittsburgh PA, composer Arnie Roth speculated that Square Enix is in fact doing a "remake" for Final Fantasy XII in HD. Hitoshi Sakamoto (no relation to Nichijou's Sakamoto), who composed Final Fantasy XII on the Playstation 2 many moons ago, was in attendance and just may have given Roth the information.
Square Enix itself has not given a statement on the issue, so as of now it's merely speculation. Also, it doesn't seem likely that the game will be a complete "remake", but probably more of a "remaster" for HD. One would also hope that it would include the International Zodiac Job System that so far has only been available in Asia, because to not include it would make the remastering somewhat frivolous in the eyes of many Final Fantasy XII fans.
This would be the first time Final Fantasy XII is available on a platform outside of the Playstation 2. Hopefully, it will get a wide release (Playstation 4, XBox One, PC), so a wider array of fans could experience what some consider the greatest Final Fantasy of the series.
Final Fantasy X / X-2 didn't land on Xbox or PC so I don't see FFXII HD releasing on anything but PS4.
Honestly, watching that video, I'm starting to think he may have made a mistake and actually meant to refer to the Final Fantasy VII Remake. He mentioned it alongside Final Fantasy XV as one of the major upcoming titles, so in context it really feels to me like that was what he thought of.
