I've always wondered.

How does penello get undressed?

Very carefully.

 

[Shepard]

This game had better be running in 4K on PS4 Pro. There's just no excuse for it not to be.

edit:

What the hell? Is it true they nerfed the difficulty of the game for this release?

Really hope that isnt the case or, at least, they offer a hard mode right from the beginning. XII wasnt that difficult to begin with, don't dumb it down even more.

 

[DangerMouse]

What are the odds of a CE for this?

I'm curious too, looking forward to the remaster.

 

[Kensuke]

Great date.

Don't like stuff about rebalancing on Polygon. Weird that they'd do that. How is making it easier bringing it closer to 'the feel of a classic Final Fantasy title'? Hopefully they give us some options.

 

[Usual Suspect]

Perfect timing, with so many games, by then should be finishing Persona 5

 

[trikster40]

Really thought it was going to be earlier since the trophies are out. At least I'll be done with FF XV by then.

 

[Eylos]

i don't remember FFXII being a difficult game, but i remember that bullshit dragon in the coliseum being hard

 

[Screamapillar]

I hope the boxart uses that artwork or something similar to that because it looks beautiful

This.

I forgot I was in a FFXII thread for a second and thought you were talking about that dude from Microsoft. Bad mental image...

Boxes what are those?

Thinking about Balthier?



FFXII is one the best games i've ever played, definitely gonna try the Remaster.

 

[Reorx]

was hiroyuki ito at this event? can't recognize the people on that picture

 

[IaN_GAF]

If one happens i totes hope it includes one of these

I have been looking for these for so long it's not even funny anymore.

 

[Paltheos]

Says it outright in the article, sorry.
RIP.
Hopefully this comes to PC eventually and a classic or hard mod is put out. Or SE has the sense to put in 'classic' and 'remastered' difficulties or something or the other for the fans.

 

[Ricker]

I think I started XII over twice,if not 3 times and I always stopped after about 3 hours in for some reason lol...I could play it right now on my PS2 but July for this remaster is perfect,it looks awesome and its the International version so yeah,day 1 and I might just finish it this time lol.

 

[Curufinwe]

Three months to play Persona 5 sounds about right.

 

[rataven]

July works for me. Summer's usually a little quiet on the gaming front so it's something to look forward to.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Was expecting it sooner, but oh well. Too much shit coming out over the next two months any way. Will be a good summer game.

 

[Curufinwe]

Boxes what are those?

The things that new games that only cost $48 instead of $60 come in.

Noooo, first half of the game needed to be made harder if anything...

 

[cubicle47b]

Cool. I'm looking forward to this. It's a little weird that it's being released 2 days earlier in the US and UK.

 

[YuriLowell]

I need a higher quality version of that artwork.

 

[BobTheFork]

awwww, the fuck. I thought it would be 3 months out at the latest.

 

[Eylos]

I need a higher quality version of that artwork.

in the first page there's a hq version, you only need to correct the brightness imo in photoshop and will look good

 

[Curufinwe]

Japan uses the ideal system for dates.

 

[RedlineRonin]

Can someone give me the rundown on the whole "zodiac age" thing? Is this like an international version type thing?

I never finished 12, because unlike some of my favorite FFs, where the characters had given roles (like IX), every character seemed to blend together as they made their way through the skill trees and i kinda got bored. Does this version of the game address that at all?

 

[Inuhanyou]

Lol.

Lol nah, i've always been confused cause she only has one belt on her person, no zippers and generally speaking it looks like the designers drew her outfit without any way for her to get out of it, it looks like a one piece

 

[BumRush]

Perfect release date for it! So happy the Q1 rumors weren't true.

 

[Dark_castle]

I've always wondered.

There are some things you don't question in life.

 

[SprachBrooks]

basch taking a sneaky glance in that promotional art lol

Lol thought so too. What manga is your avatar from?

HYPED for this game so much. My favourite FF.

 

[Cornbread78]

Kinda wish it was a week earlier so I could play during my vacation, but the middle of the summer is perfect regardless.

 

[silva1991]

Man, if they used that keyart for the cover it would look pretty dope...

So of course I had to mock it up:

This needs to be it.

 

[Dead Prince]

I seriously hope to shit they made camera controls able to he inverted

idk. i prefer the camera the way it is. lol.

 

[TheSeks]

idk. i prefer the camera the way it is. lol.

I got used to it, but it's still dumb. Especially going back to it from other controller-based games.

 

[vareon]

I don't think he'll see you but that's Prison School.

 

[TheFatMan]

Great launch date, I can't think of any other games I want at the moment anywhere near that. Will give me something to do in the middle of summer that doesn't involve roasting outside.

 

[Kanann]

'///'


Why not April!!!

 

[raven777]

 

[Lucifon]

Hyped for this, the only FF since 6 that I haven't properly played.

 

[Jimrpg]

6800yen before tax in Japan. Either there is some great unannounced content in the remaster or they just don't give a fuck. Lol.

SE got a

discounted

sale out of me.

 

[SprachBrooks]

I don't think he'll see you but that's Prison School.

Thank you.

This is the PS4 port of the International Zodiac Job System version of the game. IZJS included a few big changes, the most significant being the addition of 12 job license boards to replace the single large board from the original version. You pick a job for each character, and they are set in that role (unlike other FF titles, there's no option to change).

There are other balance changes, a speed boost option (up to 4x on PS4), gambits are available much earlier, and I believe both Japanese and English audio.

His gaze is closer to Vaan's abs

Would also like to know this. For a friend.

This version is specifically about giving characters roles. You choose from 12 jobs one a character becomes playable. Guest characters are exempt.

The tradeoff is you cannot switch roles. So its like FFI, IV, or IX where characters have their speciality and thats that.

 

[Kremzeek]

Ok that's great news!

I can put a dent in my backlog between now & then.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

Was hoping for a release date sooner than that but at least we know when it's out. Hype!!!!

Thanks. I just happened to see that Polygon link above that discussed some of that. Sounds like it'll address exactly what I didn't like the first (and second) go round.

I'll be glad to give this another go, as it's the only one I never finished since 7.
