Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is arguably one of the best games in the franchise, and with amazing new features like the Zodiac Job board and a newly recorded score, the best just got better.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is an excellent example of a holistic approach to producing a well-made remaster. Not only does it feature the usual remaster fare of significantly improved visuals up to their maximum capabilities but it also includes significant and positive improvements and additions to its audio and gameplay that take into consideration both its past strengths and weakness, the resources of the current times, and both its past and current potential audience. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is undoubtedly a remaster worth playing for both newcomers and fans of the original.
Final Fantasy XII is an epic, sprawling tale that many gamers — myself included — missed the first time around because of when it was released. Don't make that mistake again. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is one of the best, if not the best, remaster of a Final Fantasy game in recently memory, and is objectively better now than it was a decade ago. For $49.99 on PlayStation 4, the game is a steal to fans new and old interested in an old(er)-school JRPG experience.
Whether you memorized every map of the original game, or you've yet to set foot in the most intricate version of Yasumi Matsuno's Ivalice ever rendered, there's more than enough incentive in Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age to jump in.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is, easily, the definitive edition of FFXII. It offers the same great adventure that many played and loved in PS2 and enhance it with many elements and additions that improve the overall experience. However, even with all of these, the game cannot evade in showing some aspects that look like little bit aged. Neverthless, all of them are minimun and do not affect harshley the game by any means.

Final Fantasy XII released to mixed opinions when it first hit back in 2006, and even today, fans will still argue over where it deserves to land on a listing of the best chapters of the franchise. It received those opinions because it was a bold, daring, and different chapter of a series that up-ended our expectations for what Final Fantasy should be—and all these years later, those elements are part of the reason why I still think it's one of the best entries we've ever received.
There are still some core narrative issues with the main characters and the game can be a bit too easy at times, but the new job system alone made this journey back to Ivalice so much more enjoyable. Whether you're returning or playing this game for the first time, Final Fantasy XII is a JRPG that deserves to be played.
Final Fantasy XII is a fascinating game, and the International and HD additions make it even better.
The Zodiac Age eases Final Fantasy XII's progressive engine into a modern chassis. Some of Final Fantasy XII's problems were addressed some never will be, and that's OK. It's a one-of-a-kind model with tasteful upgrades and efficient tuning, and it leaves little doubt that The Zodiac Age is the best Final Fantasy XII has ever performed.
Remaster close to the ideal. Those who did not play the IZJS version get a whole new system gameplay. Few of those who have, the IZJS will benefit from some new additions. FF XII is by far the best "modern" version of the series.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is a superb RPG. Regardless of how you feel about the original, the new job system and overall gameplay tweaks ensure that this remaster is a worthy addition to your catalogue.
Even after a decade, Final Fantasy XII remains one of the brightest beacons in the long-running franchise.
While the story and storytelling have not aged all that well, the rousing musical score, surprisingly strong visual direction, and its incredible, incredible gameplay, all cement this game's place as a modern classic.
Quality-of-life features elevate the game's standout elements.
A near-perfectly executed remaster of a contentious-but-stellar classic that manages to feel more modern and relevant than ever
