>coming this year
>COMING 2017
>>340206647
maybe i'll actually finish the main quest this time instead of putting 500 hours into fucking hunts again
>>340206647
Will the audio still be compressed to nothing?
>>340206647
i mean you can play this now with an emulator.
I know nothing of FF12 other than the gambit system. is the job system anything like 3/5/X-2?
>FF10 and FF10-2 remaster.
>FF15
>FF7 Remake being split into three game instalments.
>Now FF12 remake is coming.
How can Square keep up with all of this? Since when did Square become a FF factory?
What about the poor Vita? ;_;
>>340207610
They'll pay some Chinese company to the port.
>>340206647
Vagrant Story current gen full remake when?!
>>340207750
poor who?
>>340207871
Fuck you.
>>340206647
Fucking sweet, XII is one of my favourite FFs right behind IV
>>340208097
You sir have amazing taste in video games. Congratulations!
>>340207267
It just requires a massively more expensive PC to run well and it won't look as good (better than PS2, but not as good as this).
>>340207610
Gee I dunno it's not like they released nine FF games on one console in the 90s or anything.
>>340207610
the original game is already gorgeous, square wont have too much work with this
I've been waiting for this since the X/X-2 Remaster.
About fucking time. Though maybe it's for the best it took this long, because now I've got a PS4.
>>340207267
yeah, but it's nice to support the company so maybe they will make more games in the same vein.
>>340207301
you select jobs as you get each character and they're stuck as that for the whole game, so not really. And the jobs are not massively unique since they are are basically just subsets of abilities from the original game. But it is good.
>>340207043
Well now you can expedite your leveling and item gain with the Trail 100 thing.
>>340206647
>Remaking FF XII of all games
What the fuck?
Why?
Who wants that? Hell, it isn't that old anyway. At this rate the FFXVI remake is going to come out before FFXVI.
>>340209917
I don't think your inventory carries over from Trials. It's another option on the menu screen, you pick a base save to import your status from, then every 5 battles you can save your progress to a separate Trial save.
>>340207610
It was always like this
U have just forgotten
ff13 has fucked up final fantasy releases for so many years
>>340207057
They mentioned rerecording all the audio so I doubt it will be compressed like it was
>>340210096
>Who wants that?
Quite a lot of people. Many people have wanted a way to play the (much superior) ZJS version with emulation or piracy.
>>340209838
But some offer more than the original did. Monk gets more martial arts boosts then there were in the original
>>340209000
Technically 10 games.
Origins has FFI and II on it.
Collection has IV, V, and VI
>>340210136
Then the what is the fucking point of the Trial if it has no actual effect on the main game?
>>340210391
true, but I guess I mean in terms of abilities and gameplay style, in something like FFV there are major differences, but in XII it really just comes down to attacking with a different weapon or using different spells. Not criticizing the game, just saying.
>>340210359
That four years of huge profits from 11, that's why they could take time for 12. Even though Vaan and Penelo are still shit
>>340210553
it's a way to challenge the team you have built in the main game, really. Doesn't give you any items or stuff, it's just a challenge.
>>340210162
All of it? really?
Nice to see that they put some effort in it
Hope it also has an updated soundtrack like 10 remastered did
>>340210808
So it was fucking pointless.
>>340210773
12 had a troubled development though, the main director "got sick" and left the company halfway through. It's why the game kind of just ends and is a bit flat in the second half.
>>340210808
Isn't the last challenge against all 5 judges at once? Even the female one that got killed and you never fought
>>340210863
Dual Audio.
Play it in Japanese or English.
>>340210905
it's content in a video game, it's for ultimately pointless fun, like all the other content. Don't understand what your problem is. You don't have to play it, all the content in the base game is still there, this is just some optional endgame content for you to do.
>The Trial Mode was added in the game due to a flaw in the original version of Final Fantasy XII where players who bother to unlock the game's best weapons, will find they don't have any strong enough monsters left to try their best weapons on. The Trial Mode was envisioned as a challenge for this very purpose
also, I was wrong, there is a reward for beating it- you get the NG+ Weak Mode, where you start at lvl 1 and never gain exp.
>>340210962
yup, and apparently it's one of the most difficult fights in any game.
>>340208397
You can run FF12 on fucking windows tablets and 5 year old laptops you fag.
>>340210773
FF12 took so long because it had bad development. That's why it didn't turn out very good, and why some of the characters were bad.
>>340207610
Pretty sure they're outsourced
>>340210096
>Who wants that?
Why are people blind?
>>340211254
I don't think FF12 is being outsourced, at least not to the same company who did FF10. It actually looks better than the original, though the post processing may be a bit strong.
>>340210262
IZJS isn't 'much' superior. The levelling system is worse.
>>340210458
1. I
2. II
3. IV
4. V
5. VI
6. VII
7. VIII
8. IX
9. Tactics
Unless one of those was compilation games was actually III, the regional numbering is such a pain in the ass.
>>340211602
ok, fair enough, I know there is debate over whether IZJS is actually better than the original, so I can respect that not everyone likes it. I will certainly admit it has issues. Hopefully the game will have an option to switch, but I doubt it, it will probably just be a straight port using IZJS as the base. Can't you make a party of Freelancers and play it kind of like the original game? I can't remember.
>>340207610
>FF12 remake
it's a remaster.
>>340207870
>>340211254
in house
XV-kun must be happy
>A print screen of Yasumi Matsuno’s reply to Andre Grant’s tweet. A direct translation of his tweet: Good afternoon. If Hiroyuki Ito is the director of FF16 and asks you to write the game scenario, will you do it? I really love your stories.
>Still has shit mmo combat
Why the fuck would they not change it?
>>340212142
There's no debate, the new levelling system is unironically terrible because it was half-baked. Any system that caps itself out before the game is even close to 100% is not a good system. FFX International had the option to switch so hopefully this will too.
>freelancer
what
>>340212943
ah, I thought there was maybe a way to just use the license board from the original game but I guess not.
As for an option, desu I don't see it happening because it isn't in the IZJS PS2 version so it would be too much work to add in.
I see your point about capping. I know in my save I had everyone will all licences and LP to spare for the final boss, and I barely did any hunts. Personally I like it because at least you get to see all the abilities and skills in a normal playthrough, but I can understand that people don't like it. I suppose Trial Mode is there too, to give you something to challenge your maxed characters with.

This is exciting for me because I never played XII. I loved XI and head the combat is similar, so bully for me I guess.
>>340210908
>main director "got sick"
Maybe if the team weren't backstabbing cunts and didn't leave for Mistwalker, then everything would have went smoothly. Unfortunately they did leave, and we've never had a decent FF game after XII.
>>340214882
they left because square-enix is fucking cancer
>>340214951
They could have left after their work was finished. Except they chose to leave en masse, which proceeded to stress Matsuno so hard he decided never to handle a big project ever again.
Ondore 2016
>>340206647
wait for the inevitable steam release.
>>340206647
is it going to be full retail?
took them long enough
Sweet. I've kinda been putting off playing IZJS just because I don't like playing on emulators. Gonna pick it up day one
>>340211219
>You can run FF12 on
>5 year old laptops
BULL
SHIT
>>340216151
You can.
>>340216419
No, you can't.
>>340215978
Ba'Gamnan will never join your team
God fucking damn it.
>>340216151
>>340216551
Yeah, you can.
I could emulate FFXII at about 30-40 FPS on a mid-range laptop I got in 2009.
>>340216683
Speccaronies?
>>340206647
Too bad they can't remaster the characters and plot.
Will this version delete Vaan from the game? Or at least give him a motherfucking shirt?
No?
Then I don't care.
>>340216683
>30-40 FPS
>Ashe and Fran sweet asses in 1080p
Oh baby
>>340216797
>FF 12 remaster
>Vaan is still in the game
NOPE
>>340216151
Emulated the International zodiac version on a Laptop I bought in 2010 years ago with little to no slowdown.
>>340216551
Yes you can you autist.
>>340216783
>>340216863
Notice how he said 2009. 2011 was five years ago and in 2011 pcsx2 got faster and laptops were more powerful.
I love how poor you are by the way.
Fucking hell, there's been more FF remakes/remasters/ports than new games this generation, Square Enix really love milking that cash cow.
The trailer makes it look like screenshots from emulators that people have been using for years. Are consoles really this much of a meme?
>>340216551
Bish my computer is six years old and it can run FF12 at 60fps
>>340217012
>I love how poor you are by the way?
What?
>>340217184
You're arguing that because you're shitty ancient laptop can't play FF12 no others can.
>>340206647
let me know when it's on pc like the rest of the remasters
>>340217270
I was just asking for specs of his laptop
>also, check out my "ancient laptop"
>had a ball with vanilla
>while the job system is nice and worth a shot I don't know how different the tricks and chest grindan may be in IZJS
I mean, I remember playing this with full high settings, widescreen hack res hack (can't remember if I did anything else) and that was back when I had a gtx 275... which was years ago.
I'm sure pretty much damn near any modern computer can play this with flying colors.
>>340216783
>>340217556
Sorry friend, I've long since forgotten. I gave that laptop to my mom a few years back when I was able to build a PC. The CPU might have been an Intel Centrino? I can't remember.
>>340206647
Aww fuck no. It was such a long and long winded game. Once was easily enough this lifetime for me.
>>340206647
My dick is rock solid.
Now port it to PC.
Sweet! Now they're free to remake FFVI!
Oh wait...
>>340218412
They already did, anon. PCSX2 has existed for years now.
If Square doesn't fix the Effect Capacity, half of the classes may as well not exist
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Effect_Capacity
If it's on Steam? I'll consider it. If not I'll continue to emulate IZJS.
>>340206647
Not going to bother unless you have the choice of job systems. Gave IZJS a try after having made it halfway through the original and was thouroghly unimpressed, the amount of equipment and spells it locks you out of is unreasonable and the railroaded progression feels unbearable. Even if the original system had late game homogenization problems, if you were to compare their early to mid game IZJS is about as complex as the crystarium in XIII, whereas the original licence board is more of an experience like the expert sphere grid
I'd only be interested if it fixes the 99% auto attack combat, adds in the ability to position characters manually and not have them fidget around on their own, and does something about the threat system outside of Decoy.
It's very clearly a copy of the FF11 combat system with all the main mechanics removed, I never had fun with it.
>>340219269
Yea I forgot about the stupidity that is Decoy. It would be great for them to add in more threat management.
>>340218531
You got the mobile remake anon :)
Isn't that what you wanted?
>>340212894
>Nigger speaking Japanese
>Mariano using English
