Final Fantasy XII - remaster?

Hi guys,

I'm a big FF fan, however, I am one of these people that

Loved and obsessed over FF7
Loved FF8
Enjoyed FF9
Enjoyed FF10
Never really played FF11
Thought FF12 was good, but different
Did not like FF13 but still own it on PS3
Never really played FF14
Played the demo of FF15 but have to say, probably won't buy this one until it's £10 or lower

With the release of FF12, am I thinking right it's just a straight HD Remaster like they did with FF10? If so, whys it under a different name?

Also, anyone thinking of buying it? I bought FF10 Remaster which I really enjoyed this time round again, but hated FFX-2 so will never play that!

Views?

Do you know if it's the same game? Or different?

'The full title of the re-master is Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. It includes a new 'job' system which was never available in Western release.
This advanced version allowed even deeper customisation of characters' abilities.'

From the BBC, seems a remaster with a few tweaks similar to the FFX version rather than a full blown game like FFVII.

Really enjoyed the game felt that it's probably one of the most underrated of the series by the general FF community. Vaan is such a terrible character though.

I know nothing about it at all

Do we know if this is going out across different platforms or if it's PS4 exclusive?

Anyone here play Crisis Core for the PSP? Probably my favourite of the Final Fantasys that I've played.

Loved VII & IX about equally, but couldn't get into VIII at all. The draw system was rubbish, the guardian force was rubbish, the level scaling was rubbish and the characters were all rubbish. Still, like every FF game ever made it had fantastic music.
Played the demo to XIII but didn't like it. Half completed IV, got stuck and just kind of gave up. Bought X remaster but I've not really managed to get into it.

And I haven't played XII at all. I do wish they'd go back to the more classic fantasy setting. Enough of the cyberpunk, bring back some steampunk!

My fondest memories are of FF7 and then 8, then 9 and 10! I bought FF9 the Monday it came out and completed it Friday afternoon after playing it non stop all week!

I've completed FF7 on grey original ps, ps1, ps2, PS3 disc and download and now PS4 download... Just got PSP and PC

I really don't enjoy FF13 though...

I decided to give FF13 another bash after this thread.

I still think they made a mess of what could have been a good game.

It's far too linear. By the time you get to a more open world area it's chapter 11 and you've already invested almost a day of playing time to get there - and by that stage you're getting bored. And then when you do get into the open world area, the map system is poor and I just felt lost most of the time.

The system for upgrading weapons is a mess too. It's too expensive for a start, and realistically you're just going to go online and find out what are the best modifiers.

The story itself is ok (although it has too many cut scenes for my liking) while the characters are fine - Hope is a bit annoying and whiny - but I think this is the third time I've got to chapter 11 and I just can't escape the fact that I keep getting bored at that stage. I'm going to play through it though and finish it this time.
