Amazing Final Fantasy game! It’s change in battle system may take a bit to get used to, but the systems work together smartly & draw players in with depth that never seems to be fully overwhelming either. The characters & story is superb and is worth the many hours to invest in the great world of Ivalice! It runs well on Switch in handheld & docked modes, and has the quality of life options of boosting battle speed and others like the PS4 version & other recent FF remasters like VII, IX, & X/X-2.

I owned this game on PS2, but this version has better graphics and I love the option to play with 3 different sound options: The original BGM, the soundtrack version and a new orchestrated option. If you're a fan of the FF series but haven't played this one, I really like that it gets away from the random, turn-based battle engine. Now you can see your foes and decide whether to fight or avoid. Just a fun game overall. The tweaks make it even more fun.

After playing FFXI a ton, I really liked the direction they went with the next single player game in the series. The battle system felt similar, and I just really enjoyed the entire game. Fun to play this portable on the switch after playing it years ago on the PS2.

Definitely a great game on the switch which is perfect on the switch for portability. Great FF series game.

I haven't played a final fantasy game since ps1 and FF7 but I really enjoy the action style combat, great music and story.

great game for Japanese role playing games fan. i would recommend

You need to play this game! Good story, looks great, and can take it anywhere with your Switch.

I needed to free up some space and wanted this game on physical when it was dirt cheap. The game is well worth the buy. I think the new add ons makes this a winner. Music and sound perfect. The only slight issue i had was getting use of camera angle changing with the right analog stick. Graphics are like PS3 graphics in an awesome way too. I say if you are curious about this game get it before the price goes back up.

This is by far one of my favorite rpgs available. While this game has been out on older systems for a while this updated version adds lots of quality of life items such as better leveling and faster battles to help save you time if time is an issue. The active battle systems makes battles feel fresh and like you're actually doing something instead of just inputting the same commands over and over. The story is interesting and the game was fun to revisit. Updated graphics and sound are a big plus as well.

This underrated Final Fantasy game is exactly what I needed. The gameplay can take a bit of getting use to, but once you understand the jobs system and combat you are in for a treat. The story as usual is fantastic and the graphics still hold up. Any fan of old school JRPGs should have this in their collection.

This game is really hard to beat when it comes to finding a good quality JRPG. The only other ones I would say that equal to it are Xenoblade and Octopath Traveler. The combat is just like Xenoblade and the story is more on the side of politics then end of the world that we are used to. Absolutely recommend if you are looking for a good long portable JRPG.

I never finished this game when it was originally released for the Playstation 2, but now that it is on the Switch I have sunk nearly 60 hours into this game. The improved combat system is great, and the ability to take this type of game on the go really helps. Definitely a must have for any Switch collector.

I have played this game several times, with the most recent (prior to this) being the Zodiac Age remaster on PC. This game is a very solid, great port both docked and handheld. It is amazing to have such a deep JRPG on the go, given how many hours you normally want to put into those. One of the better Final Fantasies as of late.

Final Fantasy XII is one of my favorite role-playing games, and when I heard its remake released a couple of years ago, I managed (with difficulty) to resist purchasing it, in the hopes that a Switch version would eventually be released. My wish came true, and I'm glad to have waited; FFXII is an excellent game on any platform, but being able to pick it up on the go for quick play sessions is a joy. It is quite different in gameplay to other RPGs, so I'd recommend reading a detailed review elsewhere if you're interested in what it's all about. But the crux of it is that FFXII is a game that lends itself well to sprints or marathons, and I like to have the option for both. The performance in handheld mode is nearly perfect; the image is lower resolution than in TV mode and as such, character models and the environment look a bit blurry (the user interface is always crisp and legible, however), but it's nothing that takes me out of the experience. Overall, I'm incredibly pleased to have one of my favorite games available in easy reach at any time, even when I'm away from home.

Great game when it originally came out and the remasters a little better. Definitely worth buying on cartridge to save memory card space on your Switch. I paid $35 on sale which I think is a little steep. $20 or less is a better price point. But, to have it portable it’s worth a little extra.

To play these more advanced Final Fantasy titles on the go is quite the experience. Especially, since it hasn't been an option before. Since the quality of the game isn't compromised too much since it's a older title. It is worth checking out and playing at any given time anywhere.

A worth while game play to the likes of final fantasy line. But this is even better for Switch as you can play on the go. The quest are fun but also hard if you don't watch your health as you battle to level up your character. Grinding is the best way to level-up.

Ffxii portable is really the reason I bought this game for the switch. However they continued to fine tune other little extras that make this the definitive edition. The steam version may be the best one visually. This one is best for its portability and its definitive little extras.

It is very good game. I own this game on PS2, PS3, PS4 and now the switch. It's a classic that you can play whole day. The music is some of the best in all of Final Fantasy, and features leitmotifs for specific characters, groups of people, and dastardly forces.

This is probably the 4th time I’ve bought this game so that should tell you how I feel about this game. Really strong story, tons of customization, this version has bunch of new bells and whistles and it looks great to boot. Balthier is there, he’s cool.
