Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age Reviews
The Spring of 2019 has been a wonderful stroll down memory lane of Square Enix glory, and Final Fantasy XII is the high note it ends on. Featuring every quality-of-life improvement to date, and the ability to play in handheld or on a television at a moment's notice, it's an easy decision to call the Switch version the definitive experience. Final Fantasy XII may end up being the best of the franchise on Switch, but with so many titles still available, hopefully it won't be the last.
Final Fantasy XII's willingness to be different and innovative has left it feeling every bit as modern and poignant now as any new JRPG on the market, and it remains my favourite game within a series that I hold very precious to me.
The definitive way to play Final Fantasy XII.
Final Fantasy XII is a rearest example of the timeless classic. After 10 years it is still one of the best jRPG ever created and the best, most innovative and mature chapter in the long running series. Ivalice, we missed you so much.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age took one of the best games ever created and made it even better.
Stunning graphical overhaul aside, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age delivers several gameplay-improving mechanics never seen in North America. While balance is still occasionally wobbly, there's no doubt that Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is a masterclass in the light but deliberate touch necessary to take something great and make it even better.
For anyone who missed out on Final Fantasy XII the first time around, or perhaps hasn't played it since it came out on the PS2, like myself, you owe it to yourself to re-experience this game all over again.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is a well deserved remaster of one of the best, yet most underrated, RPGs of all time. If its original release at the end of the PS2 life cycle/beginning of the PS3 era made it fly under the radar of many, this is the perfect opportunity to experience a game that, even a decade after its original release, aged incredibly well and surpass, with flying colors, many of the games released in the past few years.

Final Fantasy XII has aged well. The things that made it unique, especially the Gambit system, still feel fresh. And the Zodiac Job System and High Speed Mode are great improvements that make the game more convenient for newcomers and fresher for fans who have already played it. If you have any love for RPGs, The Zodiac Age is a classic that you should pay attention to.
It took five years for the 12th installment of Final Fantasy series to finally release and now these fans have been waiting almost 11 years for the remaster of Zodiac Age. Either you're a fan of this series or it's your first time playing JRPGs, Anyhow this is a game you don't want to miss.

Though the story is too wrapped up in political intrigue, the cast and combat are enough to make this a memorable journey
One of the best Final Fantasy games gets the remaster treatment it rightfully deserves.
Final Fantasy XII has really managed to get its hooks into me this time around, which I credit to Square Enix's excellent remaster. If you missed it the first time around (and you probably did), then now is the time to give this underappreciated gem a second chance.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is an excellent remaster with plenty to offer fans new and old. If you never experienced the game during its heyday or simply couldn't get past some of its shortcomings, The Zodiac Age is a perfect way to re-enter the game or start from scratch.
Though I remember having a huge amount of fun with XII when it came out, it's always been Final Fantasy X that was ‘my' Final Fantasy game growing up. However, having replayed them both again in remastered form, it's clearly XII which comes away the winner. A wonderful remaster with welcome enhancements, it's remarkable just how fresh, fun and involving Final Fantasy XII feels over a decade later, with elements that still feel modern in a franchise well known for hanging onto the past.
Today as thirteen years ago FInal Fantasy XII is still a great game, blessed by an innovative combat system and a great and vibrant world. Maybe the story is not as grasping as others, but it still a pleasure ti play.
