How have things changed since the original release and has that affected your plans for the re-release of this game?ĪK: One of the basic ideas behind it is, especially lately, the worlds - every Final Fantasy is set in a different world, and the worlds are getting deeper and more complex. GR: The original release was the first time that there was a Final Fantasy spin-off game now, of course, it's kind of a growth industry for Square Enix.
But overall, the whole idea of the Zodiac thing is just something that's tied in very heavily in the world of Ivalice, so those games both take place in Ivalice and it's just something that takes place in multiple games. Is there any overlap between the new version of FFT and the new version of FFXII? Or was FFT an influence in how it was developed?ĪK: One thing is, the director working on the International version of FFXII is the battle director from Final Fantasy Tactics, so he was very fond of that battle system and wanted to implement that. GR: The new version of Final Fantasy XII announced last week is called FFXII International: Zodiac Job System.
