This is shaping up to be more than just a straight port of the console version of the game. In addition to the many changes made to The Zodiac Age on PlayStation 4, the PC release supports 60 FPS framerates, 21:9 ultra-wide aspect resolutions, a third 'Soundtrack' version BGM toggle, cheats to give you maximum gil and license points, and the ability to choose New Game Plus and New Game Minus from the beginning. The port also supports controllers and Steam trading cards.

Great for PC owners.

I'm stunned at 60fps though. I thought the game logic was tied to the fps. There's no reason the PS4 can't run this at 60fps then, the CPU shouldn't be a hinderance as it was a PS2 game...

Didn't they say 60FPS wasn't possible for this game? I bought the PS4 version but never got around to playing it, maybe I'll just eBay it now.

  • Maximized License Points and Gil - New functionality added to grant players max License Points and Gil from the configuration screen
New Game Minus? Not sure what that means

Also the LP and Gil thing... is that just a built-in cheat code or something?

Yeah they've build cheat codes into a lot of the FF ports.

FF7 and FF9 have them too.

NG Minus means you're locked to level 1 and cannot gain levels. That's one of the 2 modes you can unlock after beating the regular Zodiac Age main game once.

Yes it's a cheat. A bunch of their remasters had this.

New Game Minus is a mode in which your characters are locked to Level 1

Yep yep yep. Buying for a third time. I love this game.

(It still would have done better for SE with a day and date PC port)

How the crap do you nest this game at level one?!
