Final Fantasy XII remake confirmed

Finally! 

 

A video showcasing a new and improved, PS4 version of vaunted role-player Final Fantasy XII has found its way on to the internet.

As you can see from the video, the PS2 classic is looking very sharp indeed, no doubt thanks to some updated graphics tech as well as to what seems to be higher res textures, character models and backgrounds.

Judging by the trailer, it's safe to say the re-release will be based on the International 'Zodiac' Edition of the game. This is all rather exciting, especially as this edition was never seen outside of Japan. It also added a job system to the game in addition to several tweaks and improvements to the combat.

As with most of Square's recent Final Fantasy re-releases, XII will include a few adjustments to make life easier for us modern gamers. These include a turbo mode, which will let you coast through combat encounters, decreased loading times and an auto-save option.

At present, the game has only been confirmed for release on PS4. That could change, but given that the Final Fantasy X remaster was a Sony console exclusive I wouldn't be surprised if XII followed suit. We'll know for sure either way when Square give us an official announcement.
