Final Fantasy XII Remaster Gets a Release Date

Here in the Year of the Rooster.

By Matt Porter

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, the remaster of 2006's PlayStation 2 game, is due for release on July 11 on PS4.

The announcement came during the Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary Opening Ceremony event in Tokyo. July 11 is the date for North America and Europe, while Japan will have to wait an extra couple of days until July 13.

The world of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII will feature upgraded graphics, and western players will be able to finally use the Zodiac Job System, a 12-job character progression system which was only included in the original release in Japan.

Other upgrades include a remastered soundtrack, the addition of 7.1 surround sound, auto-saving, faster loading times, and a Trial Mode, which sounds like you'll be taking on all types of monsters in successive battles.

The Zodiac Age was first announced back at E3 last year, however if you want to know what we thought of the original way back in 2006, IGN's review says it's "a fantastic RPG."
