UPDATE: Square Enix has confirmed Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age will be making its way to the West as well exclusively for PlayStation 4. As an added bonus, the game will be made playable on the E3 2016 show floor. The company has also released an English version trailer, which we’ve linked along with an official run down of the game’s features and staff listing below.

This version of XII, which has been rumored for what feels like forever in numerous ways, is based off Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System and will feature the usual tricks to expect from a HD remaster. These include higher resolution character models, cut-scenes and backgrounds plus higher-quality audio from what was found on the PlayStation 2 version in 2006.

It’ll also contain dual-audio English and Japanese voice-acting plus the option to switch between the original BGM for the game and a newly-remastered BGM for the HD version ala Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD, plus shorter loading times, an auto-save feature and a turbo mode.
