A little slip of the tongue may just have been the confirmation Final Fantasy XII fans have been waiting for. At tonight's Distant Worlds concert in Pittsburgh, Composer Arnie Roth announced that work had begun on a remake of FFXII, much to the delight and confusion of the live crowd.

The real story of this article now is that you have a working backwards compatible PS3 in 2015 :o (give it to me!)
Haha, true. I guess that I should amend my last comment to say that I'm surprised by how well FFXII and my launch PS3 have held up!
Arnie Roth apologized for using the word "remake" but stopped short of outright retracting his comments.
