Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch port of Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age is in decent shape. In handheld mode, the image is definitely blurrier than any other release, including the base Xbox One version. I have posted a comparison between the Switch Handheld version and the PC version (in 1080p), but keep in mind that it will always look crisper on the actual Switch screen than it will on a screenshot. The frame rate is limited to 30fps (which is true for all other versions except for PC/Xbox One X) but it seems to be stable. The Switch/Xbox One ports come with some new features that the PS4/PC versions do not have. They are: -Licencse Reset, which allows you to switch jobs at will (acquired less than an hour into the story) -Additional Gambit sets. Gambits allow you to manipulate party AI, and this new set feature allows you to create up to 3 different sets of Gambits and switch between them at will. -An improved New Game+ that lets you start at level 90 and carry over weapons, magic and gil With these new features, along with the portability of the Switch, it is hard not to recommend this as the definitive version. The blurriness is definitely notable to me, as I have played the PC version as well, but in this case the good heavily outweighs the bad. P.S. Oh, and the title screen appears to have some input lag not found in the PC version. If this is a bad first impression, worry not. I tested everything past the title screen

Final Fantasy is a cool game for nostalgia. The game could have been made better but if your into Final Fantasy you won’t regret checking this one out. It goes on sale for 20$ during Black Friday if your a budget gamer like myself who doesn’t have all the time in the world to game and has patience. It would be worth it to snatch at sales price.

Runs great on Switch, a modern classic FF made portable

Love the story and the gameplay. Great cinematic and battle system

I've been on a JRPG/RPG game craze these last few months and am definitely happy to add this game to my collection. While not for every gamer if you're a fan of the mentioned RPG/JRPG games and for the price this game is definitely taking a look at.

Love Final Fantasy. Picked up the last copy my local Best Buy had for 25 bucks.

Very good remaster, one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. A must

Game works great and was worth the sale price. Would recommend.

good game works and enjoy playing it with everyone.

Love the heck out of this game and rpgs are perfect on handhelds like the switch.

This installment of Final fantasy will always have a special spot In my heart I have hundreds of hours with 12 I love that New game + was added

Runs well on my OLED switch. Too many games but too little time. Another addition to my backlog.

A great rpg truly underrated. Great character and storyline

This is a review more focused on what's new rather than the entirety of this game. This is a re-master of a PS2 game with updated graphics, more features & content, and quality of life changes. Best to look up a more thorough review if you're a first timer. The most definitive port of the game to-date of a beloved Final Fantasy game; Final Fantasy 12. -Includes quality of life features like the high speed mode & auto-save -The zodiac system from the international PS2 release was included allowing for a much more customized character experience -Trial Mode (100 levels of battles) -The Sky Pirate's Den (the in-game achievement system separate from game platform trophies/achievements systems on PS/Xbox) -Choice between original vs re-orchestrated OST -New Game+ -Balance changes I believe those are the more notable changes, but I'm sure there are more that I haven't mentioned here. While the Switch version does not run at 60fps (runs at 30fps), I think it's not really a necessity for the RPG games. But what you do have is portability, which is exactly why you would get the Switch version. I believe the versions that do run on 60fps are the Xbox One and PC versions (as far as I know). PS4 runs at 30fps, which is strange. So, it's a trade off; portability or 60fps? So whether you've never played this game before or would like to re-experience the adventure in a new light, this port is the version to play.

Probably one of the best Final Fantasy games out there, ported to Switch now. Strong recommend. Playing this game is complex and fun. Feels like playing an offline MMO sometimes. The AI in this game is fantastic and the game lets you customize hit they behave. The game is long and can be tough at times, but also feels very rewarding once you customize your character and party AI just right.

Great game. As of writing this review, it is full price in the nintendo online shop. So its a great deal for this physical copy

Best FF game overall IMO, aside from the FF7 remake. Solid storyline, enemy difficulty is carefully balanced, really loving the Gambit system which adds a wrinkle and layer to strategy. Not a cakewalk game at all but not overly difficult. Nintendo Switch version looks great!

The Zodiac Age rendition of the Final Fantasy XII Remaster is absolutely a dream on the Nintendo switch. The game is just as I remembered it back when it originally released and I was a teenager. I never did beat it originally, but replaying it on the Nintendo Switch has been an absolutely blast. This port of the game is very well done and features the enhanced visuals albeit the resolution on a large 4K display. Can be noticeably soft at 900p, but that’s excused considering the steady framerate/overall good performance. Pros: - Great Story - Arguably the last good Final Fantasy game in the main numbered entries. - Reworked jobs system lets you reset the license board at will. - Excellent Visuals for the time; the style still holds up. - Combat system is as great as it originally was - the option to SPEEDRUN through the game makes leveling a breeze and getting to the next part that much more enjoyable. Cons: - Length of the game may not be for everyone - Animations show their age - 900p and not 1080p (subjective)

After having played through Final Fantasy XIV's Ivalice raid series I was inspired to seek out this game. XII is a great game and it's combat it a departure from the earlier games in the series being almost mmo like. Story is solid and the game is on sale frequently. Worth picking up on sale.

Played it multiple times. Everything about Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age seems like it should have been a true classic. It has a lot going for it: a mature story, beautiful graphics that aged gracefully, a strategic combat system and huge world to explore full of side quests. Yet despite of all these desirable qualities, it does not do any of them exceptionally well. The mature story features an intensely stupid protagonist and a cast of very dry personalities. The visuals, while timelessly rendered, gets undercut by level design that is extremely cookie-cutter and the same assets are constantly being reused. The combat and character progression makes the cast interchangeable with no real distinct qualities to speak of while being used while fighting the same pallet swapped enemies for dozens of hours.
