Review Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (Switch) - This Is How You Handle A Remaster
Vaanderful

Princess Ashe, the last remaining member of the Dalmascan royal family, vows revenge on the empire, and secretly leads a resistance in the hopes of restoring her homeland.

If I had not already purchased this updated version of FFXII on PS4, I would be buying this on day 1. Speaking based on the PS4 version, it’s a great update to the presentation and gameplay. Dip into this game if you are hungry for a long adventure with great characters and a darker plot than many entries in the series.
Very very impressed with this version, as surprising as it is I have not yet played this game on any console, almost bought it for PS4 but once I found out a Switch version was being released I waited and I’m glad I did. Obviously the Switch version isn’t as pretty but because I use the Switch daily and the productivity of it being able to go wherever I’m glad I bought this version. Great game, worth the wait and price.
As I understand it in the Switch and Xbox versions you can switch jobs and respec as many times as you want.
In the PS4 version you only get to choose your jobs once.
I got this way back when it was on the PS 2. Glad they put it on the Switch. It's a great game.
Still no Final Fantasy XIII on PS4 or Switch.
