The remastered game includes improved soundtrack and the overall technical performance. The game has also been awarded as the GOTY title and has got a few different awards for the quality of the remastered content, too.The ZodiacThe growth system in FF12: The Zodiac Age features the Zodiac signs system. Based on the twelve astrological signs and jobs, the system lets the characters controlled by the player to take on such roles as the Black Mage, Knight, Monk and others. Roughly speaking, each Zodiac sign presents a certain job with its own License Board while what we saw in the original Final Fantasy XII was that there was just one License Board for the controlled character.The combat and the charactersIn contrast with some previous FF games, Final Fantasy XII allows us to control all the members of our party of heroes freely. There will also be some guest members who are controlled by AI.FF XII introduces also a completely new “gambit” system. Thanks to that, the players can program a way the characters behave in certain situations. For example, we can set a cleric-type hero to automatically cast a healing spell on the party member whose hit points drop below 50% during a battle.Moreover, there is also a possibility to summon a friendly monster to aid our heroes in battle. The so-called Espers can be summoned onto the battlefield when the heroes accumulate the sufficient amount of Mist – a mysterious, magical energy allowing casting summoning magic. Just like in Final Fantasy X, the monsters we summon during battles become active participants whom we can control, and are not just limited to some cinematic attacks.
