Final Fantasy 12 has found a home outside of its native PS2 thanks to The Zodiac Age remaster, which is available on PS4, PC, Switch and Xbox One.

As with just about any other Final Fantasy game, The Zodiac Age isn't short, or particularly simple for that matter, and then there's the fact that this PlayStation 4 remaster isn't even of the same version we first saw in the west - it's a reworking of the 2007 International Zodiac Job System version that was released in Japan, about a year and a half after the initial launch.

Here on this page, we'll be taking you through the PS4 Zodiac Age version differences from those prior versions, plus providing you with a contents of our various Final Fantasy 12 guide pages, and multiple parts of our Final Fantasy 12 The Zodiac Age walkthrough.

Final Fantasy 12 The Zodiac Age walkthrough

Progressing through Final Fantasy 12 often boils down to your traversal of its semi-open world. You'll often be popping back to previously visited places to stock up on items and sell your loot, or likewise to report back that you've successfully slain a foe or recovered something lost.

We've covered the story as it unfolds lineraly, in the fashion we found best, and noted where you'll want to take a break to do a spot of grinding or sidequesting. But as always with RPGs, feel free to tackle it as you wish!

The game unfolds in roughly eight acts, but they're untitled, loosely defined, and often pretty long. For the sake of clarity, we've broken the game up into parts which make sense (and which avoid you having to deal with too many overlong pages of guides!), so your best way to navigate is to think in terms of locations, bosses, characters and significant moments.
