(→System requirements: Removed requirements not officially-listed as well as duplicate DX requirement. Yes, it sucks AMD CPUs and GPUs were not tested by Square Enix, but PCGW sticks to the official requirements - no matter the real/not real bias.) |

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 and removed Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM.[1]
- Enabling Full Resolution Ambient Occlusion may have a significant performance drop on many GPUs.[2] [3]
