Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Square Enix's remaster of Final Fantasy XII, the 2006 role playing game, based on an enhanced edition. Set in Ivalice, it follows Princess Ashelia, Vaan and their companions in a resistance after the Archadian Empire annexes Dalmasca. You control a character from a third person view, with a camera you can turn through 360 degrees, in a world rendered to scale that you cross on foot, by chocobo or by airship. Battles are seamless, and a gambit system lets you program your party's AI: each gambit has a target, a condition and an action, ordered by priority. Instead of a single license board, each character picks two of twelve job boards, and abilities unlocked by one job can apply to another. This version adds 2x and 4x fast forward, a transparent map overlay and a rerecorded soundtrack. Gambits you write yourself still make the party's behavior something you design.
