‘Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age’ Confirmed For 2017

After months of rumors combined with a shred of foresight considering how remaster happy this console generation has been, Square Enix has finally made our return to Ivalice official with the announcement of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age.

Releasing exclusively for the PlayStation 4, The Zodiac Age serves as a re-release of the 2006 PS2 hit. Serving as a huge overhaul for how Final Fantasy handles its combat, level up mechanics and storytelling, the polarizing twelfth entry will receive a series of improvements on top of the expected graphics upgrade. Presumably bringing over the Zodiac Job System that the Japanese exclusive Final Fantasy XII International used to improve its often confusing and convoluted growth system that kept some from enjoying the game, (myself included,) The Zodiac Age is already on track to be worth a second look.

In addition to the job system, the real time combat is also set to be revitalized with a reconstructed design. This on top of a re-recorded soundtrack, shorter load times, an auto save feature, the Trial Mode from International, and trophy support show that there’s plenty to enjoy for new and old players alike.

See it in action for yourself and let us know what you think! The Zodiac Age is scheduled for a 2017 release.
