Wow at Super Bomberman R. I thought it was done charting but here we are. Surprised PS4 didn't outsell the 3DS too.

Is this game a direct sequel to final fantasy XII or a remaster?

It's a remaster of the international edition released for PS2 in Japan only. I already have the game on PC via emulation, and intend to buy the PS2 version to play via my PS3's BC.

This one is slightly different from the Japanese international release. You can only pick 2 jobs per character, they did this to keep the characters unique.

Zodiac Age is so good. One of the best remasters, polishing it visually, updating the soundtrack, and even tweaking the job system to make it feel fresh to players who've played it before. And the fast forward button is surprisingly amazing, haha.... reminds me of the Bravely Default quality-of-life additions. Wonderful stuff, loving playing this again in such a wonderful way.
