Posted on June 8, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

A brand new Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age trailer has been released ahead of E3 2017. This trailer focuses on some of the major story beats as well as a footage from the introduction cinematic (which still looks drop dead gorgeous after all of these years). Don’t worry about major spoilers as these story moments are shown out of sequence and without any context. Regardless if you’ve played the original XII or not, one thing is clear: The Zodiac Age is one beautiful remaster.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age will be released on PS4 and PS4 Pro on July 11th. It should be playable at E3 however you won’t have to go that far to get a taste of the game, several Best Buy stores here in Canada have had an early XII: Zodiac Age demos at their PlayStation kiosks for months.

Posted on June 6, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Final Fantasy XII can be heard rejoicing as Square Enix confirmed the long rumoured, and at one time accidentally leaked, FFXII Remaster for PlayStation 4.

Titled Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age this revised version of the 2006 classic includes the Zodiac Job System originally introduced in Final Fantasy XII: International, upgraded models / textures, higher resolution cinematics, 7.1 audio support and an auto save system.

2017 is going to be a big year for the Final Fantasy brand as the first chapter of the FFVII remake is expected to be launched in time for that game’s 20th anniversary. The next numbered instalment, FFXV will be released on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this fall.
