had the version on ps4 and traded it in for this one. zit is one of my most favorite RPG games of all time and now it is on the go. you can speedvup the combat and change your classes if you chose a class by accident. It also looks and feels great in undocked and docked. If you never played or if you played the game a hundred times you should buy it again.

I had this on PS2 back in the day but never finished it and thought this was a great time to try again. I was wrong. It’s such a long hard game. Not unusual for a final fantasy game but I just could not care about the story. Combat is fantastic and the ability to speed up gameplay on the switch helps but it’s really tedious.

This is a great remaster with several convenient additions. Being able to avoid random encounters in the game is really helpful. Everything is streamlined so you can just enjoy the story without any of the annoyances of the original.

So happy this found it's way to Switch. I was eager to play it again when it came out on PS4, but I just didn't have the time. On Switch I can play it anywhere though and that has been surprisingly wonderful. The Zodiac Age version adds to character customization that wasn't in the original PS2 release and has been far more engaging than back then.

Final Fanstasy on the Switch is the best! Take it with you on the go and stay in your favorite FF world! Thanks Best Buy for letting me buy these games at such a great deal! Curbside made it simple to pickup and avoid any contact.

This game looks amazing compared to the version I already own, (PS2 game played on a PS3). I love the option to choose the original Japanese audio and the added speed mode. The only tiny complaint I have is not being able to use the joystick to navigate in the menus. I can't remember if was like that in the original.

Great remaster of a great game. This installment in the franchise was a bit of an outlier when it came out; it has a different battle system and progression. But it has aged really well and in my opinion is one of the top three or four Final Fantasy games.

I love the world of Ivalice. This game is the best way to play with smooth framerate and portablility. The menu controls have aged a bit but if you're looking for a large adventure with loads of fun characters.
This game's story is basically Star Wars in the Final Fantasy Ivalice universe and it's fun with that.

The Nintendo Switch has really becoming an RPG handheld machine. An extremely fun adventure,It s also the deepest Final fantasy in terms of lore and game-play. This is a remaster with additional content & features not available on previous platforms. Being able to take FFXII on the go now is definitely a must buy

This is the best version of this game, on the best system you could currently play it on. Switch allows this sweeping RPG to be played on the go with the newest pass of HD graphics and the latest take on the Zodiac Job System, which now allows changing jobs.
Three gambit configs per character seals the deal.

This was always one of my favourite Final Fantasy games because of the more action focused gameplay of the combat, putting it on active mode really makes you feel in control of the battles. If you are looking for an epic rpg look no further because this game has more than enough bang for your buck.

I have been waiting for Final Fantasy XII on the Nintendo Switch since it was announced- and it does NOT disappoint. Everything is here, with the extras included in the Zodiac Age version, and now portable! Definitely a must purchase if you even remotely enjoyed the original release on the PlayStation 2.

Got this as a gift for a loved one and they enjoyed it so much. Since they didn't play it when it came out originally due to not having the console, they were so happy to see that Nintendo switch got it. The visuals are fantastic and the story arc was great.

It’s structured a little differently than most Final Fantasy games, but the battle system is fun and it has a very good story.

Awesome game for newcomers and fans of the original PS2 version alike. Besides updated graphics there's a new feature that lets you increase the speed of the game by holding a button on the controller which helps when running long distances or just trying to hurry through a repetitive fight.
