Mouse and keyboard support is fluid, though the default sensitivity felt lower than with controller; this can be remedied in the options if it proves to be a distraction. However, I did find myself favoring using a controller, simply for nostalgia’s sake. I faced no issued with performance, my game staying at the promised perfect 60 frames-per-second throughout the entirety of my playtime, the first Final Fantasy remaster to pride itself in such a feat.
Overall, I considered the Zodiac Age to be an excellent port; upon booting up the game, I was immediately transported to the whimsy of being a child and experiencing the PS2 classic for the first time, ignoring sleep to catch up on in-game shenanigans. New content and changes allowed for me to stay intrigued and pleasantly surprised; the graphical updates were breathtaking. I’d most certainly consider this to be the definitive edition of the game, for both newcomers that missed out on it during the PlayStation 2 era and returners that want to delve back into the world of Ivalice. If you yourself are fond of exploring a endearing world populated by memorable characters and don’t mind the deviation from traditional turn-based play, XII is a quite solid choice.
