Final Fantasy XII Remaster Coming to E3

In this week's news out of left field, Square Enix announced over the weekend that Final Fantasy XII is getting a full remaster for Playstation 4, to be released next year. In the vein of Final Fantasy X, this new remaster, subtitled "The Zodiac Age," will be based on the previous Japan re-release "International Zodiac Job System," which changed the original License Board system into one divided by the signs of the zodiac. As befitting a remaster, the game contains a large number of improvements, including:

• High-resolution upgrades for the world, characters, and UI
• High-resolution upgrades for movie cutscenes
• 7.1 channel surround sound
• Voiceovers in English and Japanese
• Remastered soundtrack
• Decreased load times
• Autosave settings

Despite having been just announced, the game will be playable at E3 next week. Click through to Gematsu to see a gallery of screenshots, which look very, very good, especially in battle. So far, the game has been announced just for PS4, but I would be rather surprised if a Windows release did not follow fairly close behind.
