There's no date attached to role-playing remaster Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age just yet, but it looks like the game is ready to go. Trophies for the title have appeared on tracking websites overnight, and this usually doesn't occur until a title has gone gold and its trinkets have been added to Sony's servers.
The popular PlayStation 2 game did play a prominent role at the Taipei Game Show last week, but still no official launch window was revealed. We reckon that we'll be hearing from Square Enix imminently on this very subject, because it looks like the PlayStation 4 port's done. As for the Trophies themselves, the Platinum looks achievable if you can stomach some grind time.

More FF is no bad thing, never played this one before so I'm looking to seeing what it's like.
Very interesting, and very unlike Square Enix.
Definitely not my favourite FF but loved the hunting quests that took up a majority of the hours I spent playing it.I never did finish the game so will most likely buy this again..pretty excited.
There should be a gold trophy for figuring out what the point of Penelo is.
FF XII is my favorite .. I hope they did a good work "remastering" it.
Oh yeah? Expected a bit more run up to this - is it digital only?
This and IX are the only main entries that I never really played, though whilst I can't remember why I didn't play IX, I do know that having played this at a friends house I couldn't stand the battle system, maybe I should give it another go
@kyleforrester87 It's retail as far as we know, which makes the sudden appearance of Trophies even weirder.
Really looking forward to playing this again. I think it's a deeply underrated entry in the series.
Could it be a shadow drop for the event that SE have planed for January 31th?
I've never played XII. I hear so many good things about it, but never played it. I was always going to buy a copy from eBay; so I'm glad we're getting a PS4 version.
@HungryWolf It could very well be, great shout!
If anybody would have asked me when this was coming out I probably would have said October 2016. I really thought this already released last year. We're never getting FF7 or KH3.
FF16 on the PS6, they should just plan on skipping the PS5.
As others have said, the monster hunts in this game were a lot of fun, spent about 40 hours finishing the story and over 100 hours hunting monsters, always refer to this game as "FFMH".
Oh, that one ice monster in the canyon that only comes out on every 3rd Wednesday between 1 and 2 in the afternoon but only during a blizzard, still haven't captured that one. Pretty sure they just put that one in there for the insane obsessed Japanese fans. I'm never going to catch the Liege of the Lake fishing either.
@ShogunRok Yeah that is odd
@HungryWolf Ooh, that's a tantalising thought!
Could be on Jan 30 when the conference happens
I imagine it's release will be a surprise announcement at the 30th anniversary celebration. Like FF7 was a few years back at PSX. Thanks for watching the show, it's out now to celebrate etc etc
FFXV is my first final fantasy and Im loving it. Would you guys recommend me picking this up?
Finally will get a chance to plug the gaping hole in my FF gaming history.
According to my info it will be out at 3rd of February
@Miles_Edgeworth Mmmh. What did you like more about XV? If it's the exploration and the hunts, I'd say go with XII. If it's the charisma of the main cast and the uniqueness of the world, go with X.
@Feena is X on ps4?
@Miles_Edgeworth Yes, it's been re-remastered XD
Love this game. Love the gambit system. Definite buy.
Yiazmat you awful ****!! Ill beat you this time Shakes fist
I play ffxiv so grinding for a platinum won't be a problem lol......also I remembered I loved playing ff12 but never finished it lol had a sudden case of gamer ADD hahaha
@PlaytendoGuy same here! 😀
I find FFX good messed up on Vita got to last boss couldn't beat him found out needed to grind for like another 100 hours. So got the PS4 remaster and using IGN guide this time. Way better hoping to get through it after DAI and Witcher3, could be awhile lol
@Feena ooh I might pick that up next then, cheers!
@Miles_Edgeworth whatever you do, Do not buy final fantasy type 0.
All the mainline series are good. Right the way down to the first game.
@johncalmc that behind?
@HungryWolf what event?
@themcnoisy I think I'm gonna pick up FFX next. What's so bad about type 0😂
@Miles_Edgeworth type zero wasnt really a bad game , it was different for its time and required betting the game twice to be able to do everything and get true ending iirc. But game was short , and the story was is generally not liked. But if you cant get . Enough ff its a easy quick game to hold you over till a new ff comes out. I personally liked the gameplay and the mass of unique weapons.
@BladeRider ah right that clears it up cheers!
Right on. For once a game that's coming sooner than expected... it's a nice feeling.
If they port the XIII trilogy I'd buy that too, even though I ran out of patience and snatched the PC versions
I can't wait to replay and finish this! I had 70+ hours on my save with my backwards compatible PS3 and then the console died on me. I LOVE this game. I never finished the story since I had a blast doing the hunting quests and just leveling up.
i lo-lo-loooove FF12
Its one of my fav FF games, best Overall gameworld so far in any FF imo due to the weather System (and the effects on the Environment and Monsters) and the sheer variety and Overall design. Cant wait to Play it again with updated graphics!
Im hoping they fix the loading times as well as the levelling up which was a real drag in the PS2 Version (took way too Long to grind, even for a FF game).
Oh - and this time ... im gonna get you ... Yiazmat ...
@Miles_Edgeworth @themcnoisy Ignore Noisy, type-0 is great It's a PSP game, so if you're gunna judge it on its graphics straight off the bat you will be disappointed, but having played it through to the end myself I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Maybe the release date is the news that square is teasing?
FF8 & 12 are my favs. Everything has to wait when 12 TZA arrives ^^
