Key points
- Based on the International Zodiac Job System version of Final Fantasy XII, which overhauled the original game's character-development system and added numerous quality-of-life improvements.
- Features support for 60 FPS gameplay, 21:9 aspect ratios, and multiple-monitor setups.
- Exclusive to the PC version are boosters (developer-programmed built-in cheats) which maximize LP and gil, as well as the ability to play both New Game Plus and Minus without having to first finish the regular game.
- Received game patch to v1.0.4.0 on 24 April 2020 via Steam which adds new gameplay features from more recent ports of the game as well as removing Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM.
- Full Resolution Ambient Occlusion has a noticeable performance hit on most GPUs irrespective of brand.
Highly recommended to use Half Resolution Ambient Occlusion or disable it entirely for optimal gameplay/performance benefits.
