Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age

For aficionados, 2006’s Final Fantasy XII was a high point. Part-directed by Yasumi Matsuno, whose intricate stories remain some of Japan’s best, it involves directing your squadron of fighters like a football manager, specifying tactics and parameters of behaviour from the sidelines. This HD remaster of the original includes not only higher resolution artwork, but also a rerecorded soundtrack and, most enticingly of all, an overhauled management system, via which you grow your team according to strategy or whim.• Released 11 July on PlayStation 4.
