Yes I know but iirc the PC versions offer more options? I could be wrong though.

Final fantasy XII coming to Switch & Xbox One April 30th 2019
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
outside of resolutions (and I think framerate? I don't know), there's no additional features
Well this is what Amazon currently have up.
Also X/X-2
Ugh, well hopefully they reconsider, I see that thing still says RP so it may not be final.
Hopefully, but it's what the PS4 got too. Though, the PS4 has a reversible cover, maybe we will here too.
It did.
- New Game Plus and New Game Minus – Post-game content modes are now accessible from the beginning of the game.
- Three background music options – The original, re-orchestrated and soundtrack versions are now available from the beginning of the game.
- Maximized License Points and Gil – New functionality added to grant players max License Points and Gil from the configuration screen.
According to Steam the PC version of FFX/X-2 offers 7 boosters including faster animations. The PS3 and PS4 versions don't include these options.
Well...let's hope so.
I wanted to pre order on Amazon but I am not seeing 12 anywhere for switch. Would you mind throwing up a link? Thanks!
I really hope I'll like it this time around! I couldn't stand the gameplay when it was originally released, and I did emulate it at one point to be able to fast-forward, but only got as far as Phon Coast, so I couldn't really analyze the plot at all. I know this one has fast-forwarding as well as a new class system, so I hope that'll make me like it better. If it'd just been FFXIV gameplay I'm sure I'd like it...
that's understandable. there's that long stretch of the game where nothing happens and you're just on a road trip across like five zones and each one of them could have stood to be about a third smaller.
That was the big thing with the plot, yeah. I had forgotten what was happening when I had to walk across the sandy zones that look like oil fields. How's the gameplay in this new one? Does the speedup function help? I tried playing Xenoblade and ended up giving up because of how it felt similar to XII in a lot of ways, so idk if this remaster helps or what.
The fastforward helps A Lot, and also enemies are less sturdy in this version so battles are resolved more quickly. In the area you described, I remember it going on and on and on forever in the PS2 version, but when I played the PS4 version I was genuinely surprised by how quickly it was over.
Good to know! Thanks for the response--I might actually pick the Switch version up.
WoFF was physical in the US - I imported a copy. I'm guessing I'll have to do the same for X and XII as well :(
One of the best FFs on more platforms, nice. That said PC version is the GOAT version because mods fix one of the biggest problem with the game (it becomes too easy after 10 hours or so and jobs are imbalanced). If you have a decent PC that's the version to go for.
Given World of Final Fantasy was enhanced on the X, I think there's a good chance the new titles will also be. However that compares to PS4 Pro we'll have to wait for.
Regarding a physical release for Xbox or Switch in Europe this is what a spanish retailer tweeted yesterday:
While they have some imported games on their site I don't think they would be promoting a preorder like that if it wasn't that a PAL edition is expected.

Zodiac Age is legit one of the best RPGs ever made, X is a good game but the lack of a 2x speed option make it dramatically less preferable than the steam version.
I prefer 12, but 10 is more narrative driven, if that's your jam.
I like this artwork because it puts the two best characters front and center
I wonder if the Switch ports of this year's FF games eventually end up in a discounted bundle?
Like, not a super steep discount, but maybe like $20 off the combined price when you buy them all together?
I've got all of these games for various other platforms that I already play on, and in this case I've played them to completion recently enough that I'm not feeling full price purchases for my Switch again, even though I'd likely start playthroughs of all of the incoming games if I could get them for less than the full retail price.
Still, FFXII alone is maybe enjoyable enough to me that I might justify double dipping from the PS4 version I already have.

if this was any other company, sure. not with SE. don't think there was a bundle in Japan either, which is the place where this would most likely to happen.
still expect a 7/8/9 physical bundle though (in Japan)
Well no, I posted a pic in another thread and I said it was the worst design but that's not really stopping me from getting it; the only thing stopping me is that I'm not really a FF guy, I played X and XIII but that's about it
Yeah, I know who you're talking about. That character appears for all of 10 seconds in the game and maybe has two lines of dialogue.
Ok, then that shouldn't bother me
(i still think it's weird that she wears panties over her clothes)
(i'm talking about elza)
Yeah, she's part of a trio that all seem really out of place. They only talk to you a couple of times in the story and they're not even voiced.
edit: oh shit, I just realized the little shit in the trio is supposed to be a small bangaa.
Whoever was the sub-character designer was smoking some real stuff, but she's a really really extreme case.
oh wow i never realized
Oh, well there's no way I would have thought of that character with your vague statement considering how unimportant she is lol.
I am this close to committing to a Final Fantasy purchase on a Nintendo platform other than the DS/3DS for the first time in literally decades. XII is so, so tempting.
So, US will get a physical release for both Xbox One and Switch where in Europe only for the Switch.
I really was looking forward to getting Xbox One physical version. Looks like I will wait for the digital version to go on sale then.

So… Square Enix store has now confirmed a physical release in Europe… but apparently just for the Switch:

Sorry for a slightly off-topic question, but regarding FFX/X-2 on Switch, anyone know if they're doing the Vita thing with X-2 as a separate download or will the Switch version be like the PS3/4 version?
