Footage of an upcoming remake of Final Fantasy XII has been released on Square Enix’s Japanese Youtube channel.

Titled Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, the game appears to be a direct remaster of the PS2 game with updated visuals and sound.

An insider on NeoGaf said the upcoming title would feature the following:

• Based on FF XII Zodiac job system.
• Background, character models, fonts and all 2D parts are higher resolution.
• Movie scenes are higher resolution.
• Uses current-gen graphics.
• 7.1 surround sound, higher-quality audio.
• Japanese and English voice acting.
• Option between original BGM and newly recorded BGM.
• Shorter loading times, auto-saves, and turbo mode.

The title appears to be a PS4 exclusive (although we wouldn’t rule out a PC release) and will release some time in 2017.
