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 Zodiac 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!
I am excited for both new and returning fans to enjoy the world of Ivalice! Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age is set to launch on PlayStation 4 next year, but we’ll have more to share before then. Stay tuned to PlayStation.Blog for more information as we get closer to its 2017 release.
The one question I have wasn’t answered, and it’s a make or break thing for me.
In the original IZJS game, once you picked a job you were FORCED to stick with that job for the entire duration of the game. This severely hampered the fun for me, as the game would continually throw situations, armors, accessories and weapons at you that you weren’t adequately prepared to deal with.
Please let us change classes!
kind of upset that i just re-bought this for PS2 2 days ago and its coming to PS4 remastered in a year! still I LOVE FFXII
Please give the option to choose between the original or zodiac license systems at the beginning of the game, like we could with the sphere grid modes in FFX.
The zodiac system will probably turn some people away, as it is really easy to screw up your party arrangement. It’s essentially an “expert mode” for people who have already played the original.
I know it’s pointless to say so but here’s one more person who would buy this on Vita. Just finished FFX HD!
In any case glad this is coming. I know it’s sacrilige but XII is my favorite FF game.
Ff 12 is one of my favorites as well at least the normal license board and not the zodiac license board
