Tips & secrets
About the game

Set in Ivalice, Final Fantasy XII follows a band of rebels and sky pirates fighting an empire, told with the political weight of a war drama. The Zodiac Age remaster adds a two-job system and fast-forward to a game whose programmable Gambits were years ahead of their time.

Kit's verdict · 8.8/10A grown-up, systems-first Final Fantasy that's best played as a remaster, at double speed. Kit · Sadkitty Games

Loved

  • Gambits let you program your party like a tactician
  • A huge, gorgeous world packed with hunts
  • Excellent voice acting and political story

Not so much

  • Main plot thins out in the back half
  • Vaan and Penelo feel like guests in their own story

Play it if players who love setting up a machine and watching it win.

Skip it if people who want to press every button in every fight themselves.

Cheats & codes

No cheat codes

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age doesn't have cheat codes. The tips and secrets below are the next best thing.

Tips

Play it better

  1. Start with simple Gambits like 'Ally: HP < 50% → Cure' and 'Foe: party leader's target → Attack', then refine as you unlock more.
  2. Use the fast-forward button (L1 on PlayStation) when grinding or crossing big zones.
  3. Pick jobs that cover each other: one tank, one healer and a mix of damage keeps the early game smooth.
  4. Take Hunts from the Clan Centurio board. They're the best source of money and rare loot.
  5. Chain-killing the same enemy type raises the quality of drops, so stick to one monster when farming.
  6. Sell loot regularly. Selling specific combinations unlocks Bazaar packages with gear you can't buy anywhere else.
