In case you missed the news, Final Fantasy XII is being remastered exclusively for the PlayStation 4 – and publisher Square Enix has since added that Vaan's very punchable face will be making its way West in 2017. That's right, The Zodiac Age will be released next year in Europe and North America, as well as its native Japan.
So what can you expect? Well, the beautiful world of Ivalice will look better than ever before, as all of the graphics are being upgraded in gorgeous high-definition. Considering that the original was one of the very best looking PlayStation 2 titles at the time, expect this to look pretty darn stunning on Sony's new-gen hardware.
Also being upgraded is the audio, as Square Enix is re-recording the soundtrack in 7.1 surround sound. Don't worry if you prefer the PS2 music, though, as you'll be able to toggle between the original score and its upgraded counterpart as you please. It's pretty neat of the publisher to include that option for hardcore fans.
Finally, as speculated, this remaster will be based upon the previously Japanese exclusive International Edition, meaning that Western players will be able to experience all of the enhancements that that version included for the first time. And that's all in addition to Trophy support, shorter load times, and much more.

Happy days.
Coming in 2017
Pre-order now
I'm sorry, pre-ordering a standard game just always makes me laugh.
I forgot rabbit eared girl was in this, she and her tree dwelling tribe were good. I think. Man this game was just much too brown after X.
I can't wait to see the eerie Necrohol of Nabudis again.
@JoeBlogs Yeah, it's kind of obvious, isn't it?
@Grawlog Fran sounds about right, all I really remember are her big... ears.
Omg sign me up
What's with the sudden news explosion today!?!?
Seriously, this is awesome news. I've been trying to get into Final Fantasy for a while now, but the PS4 is easily the system to finally make this happen. The trailer looked great and I can't wait to finally play through one of the best installments next year!
So I come home from a day of work that I mostly spent fending off sleep, and come home to see the reason I got a ps2 being remastered for the ps4?
Well, I'm awake now! Thanks!
