 An international version of the game , Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System , was announced on May 10 , 2007 . It was released in Japan on August 9 , 2007 as part of both Final Fantasy 20th anniversary and Ivalice Alliance . The game includes twelve License Boards ( instead of the original one ) , each corresponding to a different Zodiac sign and job . The battle system as a whole has been tweaked ; guest characters and summons are controllable by the player , and holding the L1 button doubles the game 's running speed . Additionally , the game features the English voices and the widescreen 16 : 9 ratio support of the North American version , along with a bonus disc based on the one initially released with the North American version . There is also a " New Game + " option , " New Game- ( minus ) " ( where characters do not gain experience ) , and a " Trial Mode " which allows the player to hunt monsters in 100 different maps to gain items and money .
