00:02So, Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, it's called The Zodiac Age
00:06because when the game released in Japan on PlayStation 2
00:08it had the Zodiac job system which our European versions never actually included
00:13so it will do now on PS4, hence Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age
00:19I mean we've seen quite a few remasters haven't we Holly?
00:22I've seen a few remasters in my time
00:24We've seen a few remasters, this one I've got to say is up there
00:29with some of the most beautiful remasters I've seen
00:31I mean this was always an incredible looking game, Final Fantasy XII
00:35made by the same team that made Vagrant Story which is one of my favourite PS1 RPGs
00:39Vagrant Story I played, I don't know what it was
00:41and it's still a beautiful looking game now
00:43but this remaster is just fantastic
00:45I don't know whether we can go either into the Lusoo Mines down there
00:50where we can do some fighting
00:51or we can have a little explore of the city of Bajerba
00:56So I don't know why I never got into XII
00:59I mean it did come out at the end of the PS2's sort of life cycle
01:03maybe I was off playing, doing other things
01:05or maybe it was just that point in my life
01:07but I just don't know why I never picked up and really got into XII
01:11It was a very different shift of tone story-wise Final Fantasy XII from what had come before
01:18Final Fantasy X was like the last of those Final Fantasies
01:21it was a very character-driven band of teenagers off to save the world kind of thing
01:27Final Fantasy XII was a little more heavy, a bit more political
01:30I love X, X is my second favourite Final Fantasy game of all time
01:33But just look at this place, it's absolutely gorgeous
01:37The one is looking fantastic as well
01:43And I love the races as well
01:45Set in the world of Ivelisse
01:49You're loving this, aren't you?
01:50Yeah, the same setting for Final Fantasy Tactics
01:54Really?
01:54Yeah
01:56See, it feels really scary that I have such a big gap in my Final Fantasy knowledge
02:01when it's probably the series most dear to my heart
02:04I think quite a few people were in the same boat as you, Oli
02:07that Final Fantasy XII for whatever reason they didn't play or didn't quite get into it
02:10and now it's coming out on PS4, it's a great chance, I think
02:15for people to go back to it
02:18Yeah
02:19It's a great time to view
02:20And realise that they were wrong if they didn't like it
02:22because this game is amazing
02:24I can't go up there
02:25That's where the Marquis is up there
02:27That always says you can't go there
02:29Can't go see the Marquis yet
02:30So this area is about, if my memory serves me
02:34about two or three hours into the game
02:36So the big thing that happens at the beginning has already happened
02:39No story spoilers if you've not played Final Fantasy XII yet
02:42Yeah, because I still really don't know what happens in Tiles
02:45So for me it's like, I get the gift of a new Final Fantasy game
02:51You can also speed up time
02:52Yeah
02:53Which you can do in Final Fantasy VII on PS4 as well
02:56Yeah, so if any of you are experts
02:58Just press L1
02:58And if you're safely going through an area
03:00Because quite a lot of
03:01Yeah
03:01The good thing about Final Fantasy is
03:02The thing I enjoy doing in Final Fantasy is grinding
03:06No one enjoys that
03:07No one enjoys that
03:08No one enjoys that
03:08I enjoy it
03:09You would
03:11And a cool thing you can do is if you set your gambits up a certain way
03:14Yeah
03:15If you just want to grind for a few hours, you just press L1 and everything happens in double time
03:19And it's quite funny
03:20Imagine just putting like the Benny Hill theme tune on top of this or something
03:24Nope, you're off
03:54It does look, he looks adorable when he runs
03:55It's a gambit shop
03:55Oh, it's a gambit shop
03:57I don't think on this demo I have the ability to go into the menu and change my gambits
04:02Sadly
04:05But either way, let's go and have a look at some of the combat
04:07Come on, you chose some combat now
04:09The combat in 12, even I know, is very different from what came before it
04:13Yeah
04:13It's actually, would you say it's a bit more like 11, which was the MMO that it's obviously followed on
04:18from?
04:18I didn't play too much of 11, but it's definitely more skewed towards that MMO style, isn't it?
04:22Than the traditional turn-based style that had been in Final Fantasy at this point
04:25Yeah
04:26One of the richest veins in Ivalice
04:28I mean, Malthier
04:30That's so cool
04:31One of the best characters in any Final Fantasy game
04:33With but few exceptions
04:34Did you see the Fran playoff they released?
04:37No
04:37Stunning
04:38I bet it is
04:39The new Fran figurine has just come out
04:42It's really pretty
04:47And the cutscenes in Final Fantasy 12 as well
04:49In terms of facial animation
04:53When it came out, it was absolutely mind-blowing
04:56Like the subtle nuances in their facial expression
05:01Absolutely superb
05:02I just remember that leap
05:03Do you remember going from Final Fantasy 9 to 10
05:05And just having your mind blown by that leap?
05:07Like that leap
05:08Yeah
05:09Like fully voiced, animated
05:13That was everything
05:14Oh man, look at the judges
05:15So good
05:16And I remember these guys from all the promo images
05:20You are forgiven for asking, but you are diverting the purest of the magicite
05:24That's the Marcus I believe
05:26I can assure you it reaches Lord Vane most discreetly
05:27The guy whose manor we could not enter
05:33The dialogue as well
05:34It's very dramatic and theatrical
05:36It's very different
05:37It's almost got like a Shakespeare quality to it
05:40Very old fashioned
05:42I love that you're excited about James
05:44But Bujerba as well
05:46It's such a nice
05:46It's like so nice seeing you being like really really excited about something
05:50Yeah, because most of the time I'm just miserable aren't I?
05:52Well, you know
05:5370-80%
05:59Okay, come on
06:00Okay, come on
06:01Let me hear something now
06:02Marquis served as mediator of the negotiations of Damascus's surrender
06:06It would appear that he is somewhat less neutral now
06:11They say he's been helping the resistance
06:14They say many things
06:16You're certainly well informed
06:18Who did you say well
06:20Where differences are make
06:21We have to find Penuel
06:23Right, it's time
06:25It's time to start fighting
06:26She's a friend
06:27Look at his hair
06:28Look at his hair
06:28I know
06:30Out of interest
06:31Who here actually played Final Fantasy XII?
06:33Show of hands
06:34It's actually quite a lot of you
06:36That's actually really impressive
06:36And where does it rank in your
06:37In your league table of Final Fantasy
06:40Hands up if it comes in your top five
06:41Is it that?
06:43See?
06:43Not a popular choice
06:44Not a popular choice
06:45For me it's definitely up there
06:48Is it?
06:48What was your...
06:49Because we tweeted about this the other week
06:51What was your top five?
06:52Seven
06:53Nine
06:54Six
06:55Twelve
06:56Eight
06:57Eight
06:57No ten
06:59No ten in my top five
07:00Not in your top five?
07:01Really?
07:02No
07:03Okay
07:03I love twelve
07:06I did eight
07:07Ten
07:08Fourteen
07:08Lightning Returns Crisis Core
07:11I went a bit
07:12Crisis Core
07:13I never actually got around to finishing
07:14Crisis Core for me was better than seven
07:17Come on Holly
07:18Not seven?
07:18No
07:19Come on
07:19I got like seven
07:22It's another great thing I like about this
07:23I don't even have to do anything
07:25If you set your gamblers up properly
07:41Yeah you do
07:42Two
07:42I control Valthier
07:44Magics and Techniques
07:47Just steal something from this stealing
07:51There goes Valthier
07:52It's so different from ten
07:55Whoever's got this set up has got Vaan
08:00Using a magic staff like a long range magic set up with Vaan
08:05No
08:05Swords
08:06Always swords
08:07I would definitely be going in with a sword and you
08:08Yeah I'm a
08:09I play tank on pretty much everything
08:11I could just use Valthier
08:16Fast mode
08:17They can't take it seriously when you run
08:27So how much of twelve do you actually remember Holly? Do you remember the missed attacks?
08:31I only played the first four or five hours
08:36Because you have these missed attacks I don't think we've got any in there
08:39We do
08:40So if I get
08:43I can actually use it on my next enemy
08:45I've not got enough to chain them together
08:47But what you can do when you learned like three of them
08:50You could chain them together
08:51And if you were good enough at it
08:52You could take down a boss
08:55Without the boss being able to do anything
08:57That's amazing
08:57You could chain like ten or twenty of these missed attacks together
09:00And just absolutely annihilate them
09:02I'm really really really
09:03Like I don't remember the battle system that well at all
09:06I remember it being really different and I think maybe that's what scared me
09:09It's very
09:11It's almost like a management sim in terms of battling
09:15You don't really do the battling
09:16All the battling is done in the gambit system in the gambit menu
09:19And you can intervene if things are going wrong
09:22Change things up if you need to
09:24But it's like setting out your formation in a football match almost
09:29You set out your tactics
09:30No wonder you're so good at it
09:32Yeah
09:34And for people who really love a very deep tactical system
09:37I mean this is quite early on in the game so we're not seeing anything too complex here
09:42We're just attacking these quite easy to kill zombies and bats and smacking them with fire
09:47But when you get later on into the game like say if there's an enemy who's weak against fire
09:51You could set up a gambit where if you encounter an enemy that's weak against fire
09:55You could cast oil on them which makes them even more susceptible to fire
09:59And then you'd have another gambit that said if any enemy is oiled use a fire spell
10:03That's so cool
10:03So you've automatically got this chain reaction of commands that you don't have to do anything because you've already set
10:08it up
10:10And it's just so satisfying
10:16Remember some of these treasure chests that mimics hate mimics
10:20Mimics? Treasure chests mimics suck in every game
10:23Yeah
10:28I'm sorry I'm still not over the fast forwarding
10:30No one is
10:32Right
10:36I mean this is going to be overkill here
10:38Oh, magically
10:39Let's just have a look at this
10:40In fact, I can't even do the move before Vash has killed it
10:47Okay, there's a trap there
10:56I mean just look at this move
10:58So you can chain them together
11:01This is pure Final Fantasy isn't it?
11:03I mean I'm going to completely overkill this now
11:07Oh my god
11:07Balthier
11:08Bash you can do yours
11:11This tiny little bat has just flooded
11:12This bat is like what have I done to you?
11:16What have I done to you?
11:16What have I done to you?
11:24What have I done?
11:32I'm going to go back to 8 because I bring everything back to 8
11:33Is that like Zell's limit break on Final Fantasy 8?
11:35Where you can do as much damage as you can before the timer runs out
11:38But Zell has like a timeline for everything
11:39With this, the time resets every time you go back in
11:42But you just get less time each time
11:44And I'm having to charge it up now, look
11:47But hypothetically, you could just keep going forever
11:50If you're quick enough
11:51So yeah, I've not got one
11:53I'm going to have to shuffle that
11:54I can't get another one in there
11:56But we've chained 6
11:57And later on he will learn more attacks than just Red Spiral
12:01Which you learn on the Zodiac Grid
12:04And yeah, you'll get a finisher
12:06If you do a certain amount of moves
12:07You do a finisher as well
12:09Sorry, stealing
12:145,000 damage
12:15And you still just get 30 XP
12:17Yeah, I don't think I needed to do 5,000 damage to that poor thing
12:21But...
12:22I mean they just look gorgeous as well, don't they?
12:24Those moves look absolutely amazing
12:26It's just, that's pure Final Fantasy
12:28Like that's what I play Final Fantasy games for
12:30It's just that luxury of when you do these kind of attacks
12:33I'm going to be bashed for a bit because I want to just hit something with a sword
12:39Gonna hit that
12:47Love it
12:50Yeah, I genuinely feel like I'm going to get another Final Fantasy game
12:54Like I get a new game that I haven't played yet
12:56Yeah, and I think that's going to be the same for quite a lot of people
13:01Either people who didn't play Final Fantasy XII or did play it but for some reason didn't quite feel it
13:06Yeah, just didn't finish it
13:08Because I really can't ever remember why
13:11Does that make sense?
13:12There's no point I got to where I was just like, yeah, this is not for me
13:15I just... didn't
13:17And for people like me who did love it
13:19I just get to play it in pretty graphics and we're trophies now
13:23Yeah, you get to play it all again
13:26And I get to call you every day and be like, Rob, Rob, I just did this bit
13:30And for people who... oh, sorry, someone's just hit a trap
13:34And if you like really hardcore boss battles as well, you know in Final Fantasy they always have the secret
13:39hidden bosses, the uber tough
13:40The Ultima and the Amiga weapons
13:42Yeah, Penance in 10
13:4410
13:44Did you ever beat Penance?
13:46I did beat Penance when I was playing on PS2
13:48I've never been Penance
13:49We did all the... we had the Dark Aeons, didn't we?
13:51Dark Aeons were difficult enough
13:51But you had to HP break and damage break
13:54I think Penance had about 12 million hit points
13:56Yeah, same stupid
13:57In 12, there is a monster called Yasmat
14:01Right
14:01Which has over 50 million hit points
14:03That's stupid
14:04And it takes...
14:07Two hours to beat him
14:08That's stupid
14:08Yeah, it is stupid
14:10Mind you, nothing can be worse
14:11Because that's definitely going to be a trophy
14:13But nothing can be worse than trying to get the zero time limit on 10 with the Chocobo in the
14:19Penance
14:19Don't even talk to me about that
14:21Don't even talk to me about that
14:21That's a platinum I'm never going to get
14:23Forget it
14:24Or 200 lightning bolt strikes
14:27Dodging the thunderbolts on the lightning plates was easier than doing the Chocobo race
14:30Oh, the Chocobo thing was the worst thing I think I... no, no
14:33And the Butterfly thing with Kamari in Macalania was
14:37Oh, the Butterfly was so fine, mainly because Macalania had the most beautiful music
14:44Right, who should I control now? Should we have a bit of...
14:47Fran's not with us, unfortunately
14:48We've got...
14:49Lamont?
14:50Instead
14:51It'll be Balthea with his gun
14:54Balthea just looks like a badass
14:55He is a badass
14:57He's a Sky Pirate, which is the coolest sounding job ever
15:01I thought PlayStation Access was the coolest sounding job
15:04No, it's not
15:05Sky Pirate
15:06Imagine putting Sky Pirate on LinkedIn
15:08On your CV?
15:09Yeah
15:17I need to be standing further away
15:19Yeah, you just want to be like, I'm just going to hit it
15:22Just want to hit it
15:25I'll ignore them
15:27Oh, that goes against every Final Fantasy instinct I have for levelling up
15:31Never ignore the encounters
15:43So what do you think Holly? Are you intrigued enough to be...
15:46Do you think you're going to give this a proper go this time?
15:48I mean literally, ever since the announcement and ever since we played this together at E3
15:52Yeah
15:52I was like, I'm 100% on it
15:55I...
15:56Yeah, I just don't know why
15:58Why didn't I play 12?
16:03So, I'm excited
16:05More JRPGs is never a bad thing
16:07Yeah
16:08And I think we're back into like a JRPG revolution again
16:10Where like, it's just...
16:12A new golden age
16:12A new golden age
16:13High profile JRPGs are coming out
16:15Absolutely
16:15And the more they push, the more we'll see other things come over
16:18Yeah
16:18And I'm totally fine with that
16:23Right, let's see if we can get through this area now
16:27Yeah
16:28Fast mode
16:29I love this, it's still adorable
16:31Sorry guys
16:33Places to be
16:35We're busy
16:40I'll go this way
16:48Okay
16:51This was the first area I remember in 12 really having to grind
16:56Really?
16:57So it's quite a difficulty spike
16:58I remember first playing this area
17:00Okay, that's a pro tip
17:01I should write that down and be like
17:02Yeah
17:02Make sure you don't run out on any random players
17:05These bridge areas here
17:06Because these, er...
17:08These skull defenders
17:10They respawn quite quickly
17:11And you get comparatively good XP for them
17:15So when you come here, when you play Final Fantasy 12 for the first time
17:17Just stay here for an hour or so
17:19Grind it a bit
17:20That's Rob's pro tip
17:21So Rob's just grind for an hour
17:24At least an hour
17:26Yeah
17:27At least an hour
17:27Yeah
17:29No, no
17:35And they're not that...
17:36They're not that easy either these skull defenders
17:38Look, Lamont's taking a beating
17:41I'm just watching it happen
17:42Yeah
17:43Come on Lamont
17:48Yeah
17:48I'm doing well
17:50But you can have gambits like, er...
17:54As soon as a teammate drops below a certain amount of HP
17:57They heal
17:57You will use a potion on them
17:58And you can set how much that is
18:00I like that
18:00You can set it to like...
18:01Because you know in Kingdom Hearts
18:02Where as soon as someone even takes a hit
18:04Donald and Goofy are like...
18:05Donald, Donald
18:06And you're like, oh great, now I need to put...
18:08Thanks Donald
18:08And the potions are gone in like seconds
18:10With this you can set it so that you'll only use a potion if you drop below say 10%
18:15of your HP or something like that
18:16Yeah
18:17I hate Donald
18:18Which is risky
18:20Especially when you're fighting bosses
18:21Well yeah, especially if you take one...
18:22If you've gone less than 10% of HP and you take one massive wallop
18:24Then you're down
18:25Yeah
18:27I mean look, Bothea's used a potion on me there
18:30Because Vaan wasn't doing so good
18:33Yeah see, these skull defenders pop up quite a lot
18:36They really do
18:38And then...
18:39But we're gonna head on through
18:40Thanks for the gambits guys
18:42Thanks for the potions
18:44Don't even have to worry about it
18:45Don't even have to worry
18:53Let's give this guy another quickening
18:56Because they look nice
18:57You're just having none of it, are you?
19:00Oh, none of my guys are gonna get a charge
19:03Oh, Balthea just at the last minute
19:05So close
19:05Is there only one there?
19:06See?
19:07So it is still random there?
19:08The other guys didn't have theirs charged up
19:10You see the little bars underneath their name?
19:12Okay, so you couldn't select them
19:13That's essentially a limit break bar
19:15And...
19:16If you've got one person charged up you can technically still do a long combo
19:20But you have to do like a random shuffle and a mischarge
19:22Like you were just doing and then hopefully they won't come up
19:24And hopefully they'll get one up, yeah
19:25Yeah
19:25That's interesting
19:29Thanks
19:30Nice bit of rare loot there
19:32See the silver?
19:33When they're dropped
19:42Yeah, this map is quite considerable this dungeon
19:44This actually is a massive dungeon
19:46Quite considerable in size
19:47Oh, another nice bit of rally
19:48Also, when you er...
19:51That loot there
19:53I think it's rarer and better as the longer you go on
19:59If you can chain enemies together
20:00Right
20:01So...
20:02And if you manage to get a decent chain
20:04You will get metal loot
20:05You can get...
20:05I like that
20:12An assassin's dagger
20:14Just look at this though
20:15I'm just gonna slowly pan the camera around
20:17This is like a...
20:19Develop a slow pan
20:19And Magisite's mine
20:21Do you remember Magisite?
20:22Yes
20:22Final Fantasy 6?
20:23Yep
20:24I mean, it's a recurring theme in many Final Fantasies
20:27That's always...
20:28You know when people come to us and they're like
20:29I want to start playing Final Fantasy for the first time
20:31Can I just start with 15?
20:33And like, you can
20:34Yes, you can
20:35But what you miss are all of these
20:37You know, you don't understand what a chocobo is
20:40Or when they refer to Moogles
20:41Or that there's always a safe the queen
20:43Chocobos are pretty easy to understand
20:44Or there's always a Cid
20:45You know, it's all these, like
20:47Things that Final Fantasy fans get
20:50And I think
20:51This little cutscene here
20:53Marks the end
20:54Of this demo build of Final Fantasy 12
20:57So we'll just have a little look
21:00What's that?
21:02It's Nethersite
21:04Manufactured Nethersite
21:04Manufactured Nethersite
21:05This is part of an evil and elaborate plot
21:07Unlike regular magicite
21:09Nethersite absorbs magical energy
21:11This is the fruit of research into the manufacture of Nethersite
21:14There we go
21:14Little look at Final Fantasy 12 while you're there
21:16What do you guys think?
21:17Are you excited?
21:18Because I know not many of you have played 12
21:19Are you excited to play 12 now?
21:21That is what we want to hear
21:22Yes?
