Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age Standard Edition - XBOX One

Great game and story mode. I absolutely love final fantasy games. I’m addicted. Awesome graphics.

I was looking for a new JRPG to play and couldn't find one - so finally got around to playing this game. THB, I find a lot of the dialogue annoying, but it does allow you to skip. The fighting and level up system is pretty good. I think one extra active character in the party would have just made this even better. 10 hours in - I recommend this - if its too slow, you can even speed it up! X2 or X4 (I use X2, X4 is barely manageable).

Nice upgrades from the original in terms of visuals and frame rates. Pretty fun game but it can get grindy and there are sudden difficulty spikes. The fast-forward option helps with the grind, though.

Final Fantasy XII''s original release was slightly marred by coming out on a system that was in its last days (the PS2) and implementing an MMO-influenced combat system that utilized a macro programming system which was not very well received by all FF fans. Now, given a second chance at life on all current consoles, FF XII returns in all its glory and then some, with higher res graphics, better performance (especially on the Xbox One X with the highest frame rate available). Its once ahead-of-its-time combat system is not so alien to modern gamers as is its open world design. This is a fantastic game, with excellent writing and voice acting - perhaps the best writing in a Final Fantasy game, with a plot dealing with empires and war and focusing on a group of characters that are grounded and not your typical superheroic chosen ones out to save the world. The gameplay is fluid, always fun, and there is always a sense of progression, with 12 varied classes of which each character can select two at some point in the game. Hopefully this re-release is successful enough to merit a return to its world and systems someday.

Brings back memories. Glad they add this game on xbox
