PSLS bets that Final Fantasy XII HD will follow in FFX and X-2 HD's footsteps. Both got "International Versions" which served as the foundations for their HD upgrades, and came to Vita, PS3, and PS4. Kingdom Hearts remasters only came to PS3 (...for now...) but still used their upgraded "Final Mix" re-releases as the foundation, not the original.
Info and predictions about the Final Fantasy XII HD version gamers might just find themselves with.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
Final Fantasy XVI makes big changes to the series. It has a new approach to combat and a mature story, that makes XII the perfect game to play after.
It's always a good time to play ff12. But more importantly absolutely everybody that has a ps5 should be playing ff16!!
What a game yoshi p and his team have delivered, we can only hope they have been handed the keys to next main line final fantasy and they can go back to back!!

He turned final fantasy into a 3rd person action game. A good one for sure, but not final
Fantasy.
What is final fantasy?
If your telling me it's turn based/party then people aren't actually final fantasy fans they are mechanic fans of turn based games not final fantasy.
I could point to 20 different reasons why this is a proper final fantasy but going off everyone opinions apparently what makes a final fantasy is the mechanics and nothing else lol.
I guess final fantasy hasn't been final fantasy since X-2.
I’m not saying just the turned based aspect makes a game final fantasy or not. It’s not that it’s not turn based only. I don’t like the combat at all in 16. It’s better than 15 for sure, but it just doesn’t feel like a final fantasy game. It reminds me more of the Witcher 3 than final fantasy. The setting, the look of the world. No sci fi aspects.
i still have to disagree dude, final fantasy games are made up of so much more, they have a certain heart & soul to them that make them easily identifiable and this game has all that heart and soul of a FF game as well ff staples below.
- the music
- chocobos
- moogles
- summons - Super heavy influence
- a grand epic story/ ps. they have done medieveil before like with ff9
- crystals - Super heavy influence
- cid
I mean the fact this game is basically all about crystals and eikons is about as FF as it gets, throw in the rest and i get it being action game may be weird but this is FF game through and through.
in terms of Sci fi, id say your probably still very early on in the game.
This is coming from an old school FF fan.
ff12 was the worst ff imo; no character was unique because of the class system, so in cutscenes no character had an assigned weapon; they were all different skins of one another; the game played itself, the main character wasn't the main character and it was just a big eh
I think I preferred 12 to 13 but I agree with your assessment. It was very bland and not much fun to play.
i liked 13 combat wise, and i think story wise, but then i really liked the 2nd game, and lightning returns was....odd but i liked it.
Sounds like you were late to FFXII and only played Zodiac edition.
FFXII is a great game, still today, and with Zodiac, it became even better.
not at all; while i love my ff7, ff16 is epic constantly; no game has epic battles the way this one does
The Zodiac edition was absolutely superb. Top 5 final fantasies, up there with 4, 6, 7 and Tactics.
Still the last one I really enjoyed.
Series is just all over the place anymore and, while people like the new arpg gameplay, it doesn't do anything for me.
The world is the real star of XII. I didn't care about the character nor the story but the worldbuilding was excellent.
First, the rumor itself. When Final Fantasy XII originally launched in 2006, plenty of players were left disappointed by protagonist Vaan, who many deemed to be dull and apathetic. From this, a rumor sprang forth than companion Basch was originally meant to be the protagonist of Final Fantasy XII, but was switched out of the role at the last minute.
This rumor has gained traction ever since, to the point where multiple outlets have reported it as fact, and Final Fantasy XII’s Wikipedia page (opens in new tab) even mentions it as part of the game's development. Now though, years after the rumor originated, original Final Fantasy XII director and scenario writer Yasumi Matsuno has stepped in to quash the rumor.
I'm still convinced Vaan and Penelo were placed in the game as a last minute decision.
It does feel like that tbh
It's why even though the theory has been shot down I can see why people came up with and believed it.
It makes sense
Vaan was there for the younger audience and to me that seems like a last minute development decision.
ok that doesnt change the fact that Vaan is the least intresting and biggest waste of a main character in the franchise.
like Penelo and Vaan are literally just there, to be there. any other character has more purpose haha.
The characters and writing for this game, just wasn't good, I have a hard time believing that there wasn't some major changes at some point (do writers just not leave notes for each other if one of them gets sick or leaves?).
I enjoy the gameplay a lot but tend to agree, the soundtrack was not memorable to me at all, either. Which is weird because the composer also did FFT which was tremendous.
I always think of Uematsu when I think of the FF franchise, but most of his music is pretty iconic, unfortunately I didn't get to play FFT (hopefully it ends up with a Steam release in the near future).
Back then I like the gameplay, but I just don't like the story enough to enjoy it as X.
It was obvious Vaan was of little importance. His brother or Balthier should've been the MC. They've already told us that Vaan was chosen just so the game can appeal to younger audiences. But well that's square for ya, always trying to appeal to the masses rather than just do what they really want to do and favor core fans.
The conductor said "remake," but I think as a conductor and not a developer or PR person, he was likely to make that slip. A lot of gamers incorrectly call remasters -- or even simple PORTS -- "remakes" sometimes. That's probably what happened here.
I don't see what Square Enix would have to gain from completely re-developing FFXII from the ground up, when FFX and KH sold so well as upgraded PS2 games.
I'm pretty sure a FFXII HD will be based oh the superior International version to give people who played the original incentive to revisit the game. Its only logical.
FFXII is the only mainline Final Fantasy game not released on modern consoles. I hope Square Enix makes the announcement at GamesCon.
I hope so, I only played this game once. The PS3 was just out and I never got around to play it a second time.
I read up on the international Zodaic board. It seems interesting. It was created because the players just unlocked everything for everyone and didn't differentiate between characters, so they went back to the traditional job system.
I like having my characters have defined roles so I set up my party like Ashe was a White mage and Penello was a black mage.So apparently I was playing the game how it was originally intended with realising it.
Wold love this also on 3DS
This was one of the last AAA titles on the PS2 and I'm really looking forward to picking it up again. For its time, it was ahead of the curve with 480p and 16:9 support too!
