This game brings Square back to creating an epic story and fantastic gameplay. The story is great, the map designs are pretty, the fights are epic, the new options of being able to switch jobs, and the gambit system make a game I could hardly put down.

This game add several improvements to really make it a fun game. If you've played the PS2 version this feels like a definitive remaster. With the added improvements and solid original game this is a must play. Plus on Switch it is portable!

Im very glad I picked this game up, it has an amazing story with interesting war politics and memorable characters and a deep customization system for character’s abilities, the combat system is also very nice and different to other final fantasy games. The porting on switch is also very nicely done, and I experienced no framerate issues.

Never played the original. So I was curious to try it out on the switch. I am a Final Fantasy fan this was a little different then other FF games. It had a good story and fun battle system. The voices sounded a little outdated but the soundtrack was remastered. Also not as long as other FF games took me a little over 40 hours to complete. It’s worth playing.

Playing this on the Switch was great. I never beat it during the first release (lost interest after a while) but being able to play a game wherever on the Switch really made this more approachable.

I played the original many years ago and didn't quite finish it on PS2. I didn't remember the story at all so it's like playing a new game for me. I like how this updated version plays and the ability to chose which class you want each character to be. It plays pretty well on Switch.

One of the best RPG's from the PS2 now it's portable and the graphics are even crisper while on the go. How can you go wrong? I wish all the FF titles would release on switch.

This is by far hands down the best final fantasy. It's more "new" compared to the some of the older titles and doesnt feel so dated. Great graphics, great mechanics and great story. A must buy!

This is a highly underrated RPG. Originally released for the PS2, this updated version is a tad bit harder than the PS2 version, but the portability of the Switch makes it a must have.

This game has Japanese & English voice/text support & text for other supported ones. The visuals in the game REALLY look awesome. There is a double sided cover art which has a nice detail to the art. Also the this version adds new job systems, music, & a trial option that can earn you early items that can help you in story mode or in the trials itself. So if you are one that gets stuck in story mode & need better gear then head into trial mode & steal some powerful gear. Over all this is a must own FF game with beautiful art style & also if you are a fan of Vagrant Story on the PS1 then you will fall in love with this game.

FFXII was already an excellent game, but the Zodiac additions, as well as the Switch special features, make it a must buy for a JRPG fan. Also, taking it on the go is a blast!

This version of the game runs smoothly and is portable, definitely one of the better aspects. It's a port of a classic game that came from the PS2 generation and is arguably the last great game that came from Square. Classic game, if you're a hardcore JRPG fan you can't go wrong with this one.

One of the seemingly forgotten gems of the Final Fantasy series. Fun combat and characters mixed with a great story and made even better being on the Switch.
