At long last: Final Fantasy XII remake confirmed

Final Fantasy Distant Worlds conductor accidentally spills the beans



Following in the steps of Final Fantasy X, the twelfth instalment in the long-running RPG series is finally getting a hi-def makeover. The news came straight from the mouth of Arnie Roth, conductor at Pittsburgh's Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert, who inadvertently let slip that a remake of FF XII was in the works.

First released on the PS2 back in 2006, Final Fantasy XII attempted to shake up the series' formula, overhauling the combat mechanics and the way players developed their characters. Considered by many fans to be the last truly great FF game, news of this remaster is sure to be greeted with open arms by JRPG enthusiasts up and down the globe. 

I imagine this will be a HD makeover, a la FF X, rather than a full-fledged remake, but it's still great news for anyone who missed this classic adventure the first time round. Besides, despite coming out almost a decade ago, the game's still quite a looker and the bump up to 1080p is sure to give the visuals a new lease of life.
