I am not for remasters, but Square is on fire now and we are seeing some of that old Square magic here in Zodiac Age. Yet another must have title for PS4.… Expand

El juego tiene tanto fanaticos que lo aman o gente que lo odia por tener un cambio tan grande con respecto a las anteriores entregas de la saga. El nuevo sistema de licencias es es genial y te da la posiblilidad de elegir dos trabajos por personaje lo que da mas diversidad al equipo sin llegar a ser repetitivo como en la version original. Graficamente es una de las mejores remastered que he visto, y un detalle que no es menos para los que disfrutan la banda sonora de los juegos es que podemos elegir entre la musica original o la orquesta que suena simplemente fantastica. Si amaste el juego en la ps2 vas a adorarlo en esta nueva version, si nunca lo jugaste ahora es tu momento de disfrutar de esta joya que recibio criticas por su sistema de combate en mundo abierto y los gambits que es unico ya que ningun otro juego imito este sistema aunque a otros les puede llegar a encantar.… Expand

I liked this game on PS2 because it has a very good story and a gameplay. Remastered version of this game is even better. I will not talk about the graphics and the sound because also graphics and sound was very good on PS2 and now remastered version only makes it better. I will actually talk about of improving the battle system.
   
   In PS2 version, all the characters had the same abilities which does not make a difference between them. Because they have the same abilities it was not the purpose of using all the characters, but only those you liked the most, the others was just a backup team. Also, there is no tactics in the battle if all characters have the same abilities and this makes the battle system boring. This was the same problem for me in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XIII. I like the Job system which they used in previous games and I'm glad they return it back. The Zodiac Job System in remastered version make battle system much better because now all characters have different abilities (different jobs) which gives a tactical aspect in battle. Together, Zodiac Job System and Gambits System allows the player to create his own strategy in the battle by balancing strengths and weaknesses of the characters. This is the biggest improvement in remastered version of Final Fantasy XII.
   
   This is the best remastered version of old Final Fantasy game and I wish they did the same thing with remastered version of Final Fantasy X. They could improve the battle system of Final Fantasy X by adding the Job system as they did with Final Fantasy XII.
   
   I hope they will use the Job system and the ATB system in new Final Fantasy game because with combination of those two system they can make the best battle system in JRPGs.… Expand

   Excellent remaster of one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. It feels good to be back in Ivalice! I've been able to put about 20 hours in inExcellent remaster of one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. It feels good to be back in Ivalice! I've been able to put about 20 hours in in 3 days thanks to having summers off as I work in the schools. The "new" Zodiac job system is amazing. I really have enjoyed being "forced" to spec a certain way and build a party around that. Graphically, it's not the best looking PS4 game, but it looks remarkable compared to it's PS2 counterpart. Cinematic scenes look really good. The remastered music is awesome. The optional speed up options 2x and 4x speed are a godsend as well. The negatives come in the same place they came back when this game first released. Vaan and Penelo suck and add very little value to the story. The camera is still crappy sometimes when you're fighting up against a wall. Looking forward to playing FF12 until I get the platinum.… Expand

One should know that this game is the same game from PS2, just some minor class system which doesn't add much to the game.
   What's in it ?
   * Good battle system to grind ; although boring and slow : you can write your own AI to the characters and watch the combat happen. But it is so repetitive and fails to impress late game. Techniks are not needed at all. Magic is good for buffs and debuffs , unnecessary for damage. Most of time you let the team combat themselves by direct attacks.
   * Impressive world theme, unoriginal scenario : The world consist of so many good places and stories. The Judge system is a really good fiction. But the scenario gets stuck after a point. Very traditional scenario. Get relics, defeat villains and save the kingdom, etc.
   * Characters are likable but dull : You can't get used to most characters even after hours. My personal favorite character is a villian. Most of the cast are dull and doesn't talk much. Balthier and Fran is nice others look dumb.
   * Soundtrack is awesome as all other FF games.
   * Lots of bosses and side quests which are better than the scenario itself. Plenty of time to spend in Ivalice.
   * Loading times are so-so.
   * Dungeons are well designed, monsters are variable and cool, boss fights are very good.
   * Summons (espers) are useless , takes too much grinding to get useful, overall sucks.
   
   Last word : If you like to play JRPGs this is a must buy. If you played this on PS2 or PC (with emulators) pass this one.… Expand
