Square Enix has revealed the news that "will make fans of Final Fantasy XII happy", and no, it's not a Switch version. In fact, it's a relatively small addition, but we're glad that it's making a return.
Okay, so Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age will be receiving a new PlayStation 4 patch tomorrow -- that's the 22nd November. Update 1.04 will add the Sky Pirate's Den, a feature which appeared in the original release, but for whatever reason, it was cut from the current-gen remaster.
The Sky Pirate's Den is basically like a little diorama that you can open up from the menu. As you progress through the game, more characters and creatures are added to it, and you acquire player titles in the process. It's a cool bonus that keeps track of your achievements.
What's more, Square Enix will be releasing a free PS4 theme which is based on Eruyt Village -- that's the place with all the scantily clad rabbit women, in case you were wondering. It's only been confirmed for Japan at the time of writing, but we don't see why it wouldn't be brought to the North American and European PlayStation Stores as well.
What do you make of these announcements? Were you expecting more, or are you just happy that the game's still being supported? Please don't port beg in the comments section below.

Bit of a nothing announcement.
hmmm...well it's better than nothing I guess
I was expecting Baltier to make it to the Dissidia roaster.
sooo.... that's it? That's all? Bah. That said, I DID wonder where the Sky Pirate's Den had went and it's a welcome addition. But uh... yeah. I'm not exactly wetting myself.
It's not as good as my sky pirates den up the tree in the back garden.
Mind blown.
Is the free theme for FFXII:ZA owners only?
@WanderingBullet Don't think so, it'll just be on the store for free.
@ShogunRok Hey, what’s that word starting with “S” right there? Smitch? Sflinch? Never seen nor heard it before in here, wonder what it is...😂😜
(Disclaimer: it’s an honest joke, nothing less and nothing more, it’s all good)
@ShogunRok Cool, will go look for it tomorrow.
Give us Revenant Wings please Square!
It's a cool addition.
I played the original and don't even remember this...but okay. Looking forward to the theme.
I hadn't even noticed this was missing from the Zodiac Age. I think it's one of those features I opened once or twice in the original and then forgot about.
From this site’s first article on this tease:
“[...] let's not discount the possibility that this may have nothing to do with PlayStation. It could be that The Zodiac Age is coming to PC or another platform, so we wouldn't get too hyped just yet. [...] What do you think this news could be? Now that the article's over, feel free to speculate like crazy in the comments section below.”
Now, from this article:
“Square Enix has revealed the news that ‘will make fans of Final Fantasy XII happy’, and no, it's not a Switch version. [...] Please don't port beg in the comments section below.“
It’s all in good fun and all, but you guys really brought any port begging on yourself this time. Not much right to complain ‘bout it!
Anyway, looking forward to checking out this theme, and getting back up to feature parity with the original game is always nice, even if it should be the bare minimum for a remake to start from.
The more complete the game is the better for when it finally comes off the backlist. Hoo~ray!
Couldn't find the theme in the JP Store.
Edit:Nvm, they only just added it to the store a minute ago.
