FFXII: The Zodiac Age

Hyped or not Hyped Cred Forums?

This game always made me fap due to penelo and Ashe's asses. I didn't like the game though because Vaan was such a faggot character and the story kind of blew.

The Zodiac Age will include the International Zodiac Job System that was introduced in the 2007 version released in Japan. It expands the single job license board from the original Final Fantasy XII into twelve different ones based on Zodiac signs. Other features were added, including a New Game+ and New Game- (where you don’t gain experience), and a Trial Mode where you go monster hunting for cash and item rewards. This is all on top of the HD graphics

I've already put hundreds of hours into the original IZJS so I'm not exactly "hyped" but I will be getting it.

Very hype. XII is one of my top 3 FF games. I can't wait to walk around as Fran to watch that gorgeous hair flow and sweet ass flex in HD.

...

I have vanilla FF12 on my shelf right now, I'm wondering if I should play it before Zodiac comes out or wait.

I haven't played FF12 before but it seems like the kind of RPG I'd love based on what I know about it.

this game is so fucking dead, hype wise.

Is any recent FF game worse in terms of hype?

Maybe FF8

Don't forget uncompressed audio. Biggest draw for me considering I already beat vanilla and played quite a bit of IZJS via emu. (It'll also be nice to have text that doesn't like like ass.)

Too bad they made the graphics worse, I hear you can change between job boards which is a good thing since IZJS suuucks.

The voices still sound the same.

Should you be angry about this if you are a feminist?
Yes.

When should you protest it to sjw media?
Right now.

im sure it will be an excellent game well worth the 80$ price tag

They really don't.

Yeah the graphics look weird. very strange shaders and the asses don't look as good.

They should have just focused 50% of the art budget on giving them curvier asses. Then 10/10 goty.

Saying that Final Fantasy XII is a good game is one of the biggest memes I've ever seen posted on Cred Forums.

This game is absolute fucking garbage in absolutely everything.

The characters are unlikable, the character designs are fucking atrocious, the story is a joke, the battle system was designed by complete retards, the soundtrack bores me to no end and the voice acting is awful.

And yes, I've played vanilla and the Zodiac version and they are both equally terrible.

Yes they do.

>not having a fetish for Penelo's skintight outfit.

"We overhauled the game balance so that it would be easier for players — closer to the feel of a classic Final Fantasy title."

What the fuck?

"no"

Akihiko Yoshida is generally a pretty boring character designer.

All of his character designs have sameface syndrome and most of the time look like infants.

The style in which he draws also irks me for some reason. Like the way Nomura draws all of his designs in that terrible Kingdom Hearts style.

I remember posting on Cred Forums about how much I enjoyed the game when it came out

PC version when?

>posting the videos I used to btfo some other guy
>probably you

Literally exactly the same, adjust the volume.

It's been done better in the past, user.

I did, and I probably am the same guy, except it was you who was btfo you tin eared faggot.

You already proved yourself wrong posting evidence, give it up boy.

>no Vita version
Do not want.

I wish more people cared about Garnet too, user. FFIXfags only seem interested in rat ass Freya tho.

Why are there 4 characters in the screenshots? Guest members?

No, really dude, no agreed with you then and no one will now.

I'll be honest.
I hated this game, on the principles that it was just boring as hell. For some reason it bores me way faster than any of the older games can even attempt to despite the combat being more dynamic, maybe because I don't really feel immersed in the story or world either.

Maybe the Zodiac re-balance shit could straighten the combat up a bit, but after FFX this game was kind of a large disappointment to me.

yes

the story was disjointed as fuck

never really grabbed anyone and the lead writer went insane or something?

You just have shit taste.

you're probably not old enough to remember the hype for FF8, it was real

FF8 isn't even getting a remaster

>not on vita
it literally would have been perfect for vita

that would require actual effort unlike FFXII which is just IZJS+HD textures

>long-winded opinion post saying a critically-acclaimed game with a polarizing following on Cred Forums is fucking garbage
>gives no actual reasons as to why it is, just says each aspect of the game is awful, a joke, etc.
>adds on "yes, i HAVE played the games" as if that somehow makes his opinion any more credible or means he's telling the truth
>image is cropped porn
This post is like the essence of Cred Forums. I could use this post as a thesis statement for a dissertation on the folly of video game discussion.

Sauce?

What the fuck is up with that thing's foot?

Nothing else is on the Vita either so why should this be?

Wait you will actually be able to change jobs in the PS4 version? That was the only things that bothered me about IZJS

I just unlocked Yizmat in the vanilla version.

It it even worth beating?

What's the deal with the job version? I only played the original.

>a toddler with no ass

Way to out yourself as pedoscum, user.

Instead of having one License Board that everyone shares, there are 12, each themed after a different classic FF Job and shaped like a Zodiac sign. You get to pick which board you want each character to go down but you can't change Jobs once you've made the selection.

There's also a bunch of minor improvements, like being able to control guest members and different chest contents, as well as the new Trial mode (a 100-floor gauntlet against increasingly strong enemies), "Strong Mode" that lets you play through the game with all your characters boosted to level 90, and "Weak Mode" that keeps all your characters at the lowest level.

i cant take his fucking voice out of my head

I'm not going to write an essay on why the game is ass, it's not worth my time.

If you honestly think I'm wrong then by all means, let me see your rebuttal instead of just posting maymay arrows.

I don't think you know what a toddler is you idiot.

>>critically-acclaimed game
like gone home?

...

how is scathe even being used versus tiamat

critical acclaim is not a gauge for quality

If a professional critic's opinion isn't a gauge of quality, neither is the opinion of some cropped porn-posting 16-year old on an anonymous imageboard.

one is paid one is not

im not but I would always trust the opinion of a human being over a 'journalist'

I'm not a paid journalist. If I told you that Phantom Hourglass was a better Zelda game in every possible way than Ocarina of Time, would you just believe me just on principle?

i wouldn't. especially if they frequent Cred Forums

more likely than believing that skyward sword is a 10/10

Yes or no answer.

>16
>toddler

You are either fucking retarded or trolling.

>no ass

Someone is blind as shit.

>hyped for a game you can easily emulate with similar graphics fidelity

???

The zodiac job system is shit anyways. Sometimes freedom isn't the answer when it comes to RPGs.

Pic related makes me very excited, I love magic spam. You can't do this in the ps2 or emulated versions.

Already played ZJS. Changes make the game too easy and the class system (it's not even a job system!) is crap. Not a huge fan. People who can't into patching and softmodding: you're missing nothing. And those who can: don't buy an inferior game that you can patch and play for free.

Release when? I can't wait any longer, I need ff12 in my life

They have clearly applied a filter that makes the voice clips sound less shit, but they can't just bring back the audio quality that was lost in the original compression. The voice clips are still low quality.

So you're both wrong. They don't sound the same but they DO sound shit. Ya deaf cunts.

The fuck are you talking about?

explain whats happening here

>no vita version
no buy

>because Vaan was such a faggot character
That's not even the problem. He's pretty much completely irrelevant. I read Ashe was supposed to be the MC and Vaan and Penelo were added later, because "muh female MC doesn't sell" meme.

As soon as I got 4 characters in my party, I stopped using Vaan. Near the end I was pretty scared that there might be a point where you have to use him. He was around level 12-15, so I'd be fucked.


Also, I'm mad, because I've finished the game last year for the first time. Should've waited for this.

Sine it's not on vita I will wait for the inevitable steam release

Not that user, but I assume what he's talking about is the spell queue. In the original FF12, only one large scale spell/ability could be happening at a time, likely due to hardware constraints, so if multiple spells were charged simultaneously you'd be stuck waiting for them all to finish one at a time, which sucked ass and could get you killed if your Curaga was placed at the back of the queue. In TZA, they seem to be removing this limitation, which should make the gameplay a lot more fluid and dynamic.

reverse slutwear

i want to find more girls willing to wear a thong outside their shorts

It's funny how XII has the coolest character designs and the dumbest designs as well.

I never played IZJS, but in principle, I absolutely HATE job systems and liked the license board, which is why.

As long as that isn't terribly limiting, I'm looking forward to it, since vanilla was my favorite FF.

It feels so weird remembering when tgis was first posted and FFXII was new. People arguing over whether it played itself or not, who really was Captain Basch Fon Ronsenberg. Fun times.

>but they can't just bring back the audio quality that was lost in the original compression

They might have kept uncompressed studio recordings. If they didn't, and just tried to clean up compressed audio that's just stupid.

>Can literally enter every command if you want to, like any other Final Fantasy
>"It plaiz itself gaiz! lolololol"

Oh, it's THIS guy again.

Any examples of dumbest? I doubt you can top some of the stuff seen in FFX and FFX-2. Like mr Beer belly and this guy.

Mildly hyped.

If I can choose between original license board and zodiac - super hyped.
If PC version - super mega crazy hyped.

I'm buying either way, but I'd kill for a PC release.

Pc release most likely 12 to 18 months after ps4

WAIT

>They might have kept uncompressed studio recordings.
It really does not sound that way to me. Those voices are lacking in audio quality, even without that nasty staticy sound they has on the PS2.

hypd as fuck

There were methods to override the spell queue however and 'get' your Curaga to the front.

May as well play it, it's still good. Don't need to complete it or anything, and you'll appreciate the changes in zodiac edition better (as well as understanding the game system a bit which will help you pick classes for the characters and stuff)

It's even better emulated on PC because you can upscale the character models.

I'm just glad they working on a respec option so you're not locked into the one job for each character.

Wow, So many things wrong with this post.

1st. Vaan was the first character to be drawn, though the last to be assigned playable. His name was Aqua back then.
2. The "Original" protagonist was meant to be Basch, and the story presented to test audiences didn't test well, so they scraped it
3. Vaan is very important to the plot, even if he isn't the main character. You're allowed to not like a character, but don't make shit up because you weren't paying attention to the plot.

I always see this.

Anyone know where I can find the video?
