Final Fantasy XII puts players in control of a cast of androgynous ne'er-do-wells as they become embroiled in a sprawling political drama whose complexity rivals War and Peace.

Unused Map

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Figure out a way to load proper objects in this map (if any) and find possibly some more unused maps such as map ID 6D which might be a unused Phon Coast.

Use the following GameShark code in the US version to appear here:

2055CB60 00000049
2055B878 00000049
20549144 00000049
20549148 00000000

Debug Menu

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Is there anything here beyond text? Does the Japanese release have any more leftover functionality related to this?

The US version of the game still contains text for a debug menu. Unfortunately, the text is mostly unreferenced, meaning that the debug menu is likely no longer accessible. The only exception is "COMMON", which is loaded upon boot.

Regional Differences

To do: More differences.

Changes from the Original Japanese to International Versions

• Support for 16:9 widescreen mode was added.
• The Crystalbug enemies now have significantly more hitpoints.
• Some boss AIs were changed, including, but not limited to Vinuskar, and Hashmal.
• In the original Japanese version, even if a spell cast by a party member doesn't hit a target, the amount of MP to cast said spell is consumed. This was changed in later versions by not consuming MP if the spell doesn't connect.
• There are several unskippable text cutscenes in the original Japanese version. Some of these became skippable in later versions, and if they still aren't skippable, they now have voice acting instead of just text.
• In the original Japanese version, a scene where Penelo is tied up in Ba'Gamnan's Lhusu Mines hideout was cut out in order to lower the game's CERO rating to A. This was re-instated with the Japanese international version. Akitoshi Kawazu, the producer of Final Fantasy XII, mentioned that the removal was due to similar real life events, but didn't specify what those were.

Changes from the International Versions to the Japanese International Version

The Japanese international version (more commonly known as the International Zodiac Job System) added all the new content that was in the international versions as well as adding additional content:

System

• Addition of a "Zodiac Job System" featuring twelve jobs with individual License Boards corresponding to twelve zodiac signs.
• You can now press L1 to speed up gameplay. Conversations and events continue to play at normal speed, however.
• The game features English voices. Some previously unvoiced event scenes now feature voices and new scenes have been added.

Characters

• Playable characters' starting LP, consumables, gil, gambits, equipment, and licenses have been modified.
• Playable characters' base stats have been altered.

Weapons

• Several weapons' base stats have been altered to accommodate the new License Board system
• 12 new weapons were added
