But with a lot of them (FFX, Soul Calibur, for example) PCSX2 will crash after around. I'm running on Windows 8, through Bootcamp, off of a Mac Pro tower. Question (as it may shed some light on the cause of the crash), when the game crashes, pop into your 'SteamsteamappscommonFINAL FANTASY FFX&FFX-2 HD Remaster' folder, there should be a file called 'OUTPUT.TXT' - Are there any errors or crash reports (especially near the bottom of the log)? If your not sure what your looking at, share the log.

Game description: The story of FINAL FANTASY XII takes place in a world called Ivalice, in an age when magic was commonplace and airships plied the skies, crowding out the heavens. War was on the horizon. Seeking to strengthen its base of power, the great Archadian Empire had been invading and subjugating its neighboring kingdoms one by one. The small Kingdom of Dalmasca was one such kingdom. Our story follows Vaan, a young man living on the streets of Dalmasca's Royal City of Rabanastre, the Princess Ashe, the sole remaining heir to the Dalmascan throne who had been given up for missing, as well as Vaan's friend Penelo, the sky pirate Balthier, Balthier's partner Fran and many more on an adventure through Ivalice that traces the mysteries behind the Archadian Empire's invasion.
Final Fantasy XII is a console role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2. Released in 2006, it is the twelfth title in the main Final Fantasy series and the last in the series to be released exclusively on the PS2 (not including the expansion sets to FFXI which all got released on PS2 and Final Fantasy 7: Dirge of Cerebus). The game introduced several innovations to the series: battles occur without a transition to a separate screen; a customizable 'gambit' system automatically controls the actions of characters; and a 'license' system determines which abilities and equipment are used by characters.
Test configurations on Windows:
Mac os x 10.4 tiger intel iso. Apple sold several versions of Tiger at retail, culminating with a 10.4.6 full install DVD. The bundled install discs that came with G4 and G5 Macs do not work across the board on all models – again trial-and-error. These discs will work on all supported models of PowerPC Macs and are the best ones to have or try to find via resellers. Upgrade DiscsSome PowerPC systems sold during the to Tiger transition included a Tiger Upgrade Installer for Macs with Panther already installed on the hard drive.

| Europe v02.00(14/06/2004), Recommended, FPS drops when near Wendigoes and large groups of enemies. The only enemies I have yet to face are the Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat. Run it in Native because upscaling any higher causes tremendous lag on the Menus and during most battles., PCSX2 crashes when accepting hunt 28 directly after accepting hunt 13. Not sure if this is specific to my ISO, so more testing needs to be done in regard to that. | |

| The version used here was the International release with a translation patch applied. Has two noticeable graphical glitches in all hardware modes, not gamebreaking or intrusive but readily apparent. The minimap distortion effect does not display properly in hardware renderers and there are graphical glitches during the Famfrit fight with Cid. The game also slows down to 10FPS during Mateus introduction cutscene and most level 3 and some level 2 Quickening animations despite running at 300FPS uncapped at 4x Native resolution otherwise. Completely playable from beginning to end with no freezes or crashes. When uprendering there is noticeable ghosting during cutscenes which can be reduced with half pixel offset hack but that creates other graphical glitches. | Vibhor |

Trivia
- Original names: ファイナルファンタジーXII (SLPM-66320) & (SLPM-55022), ファイナルファンタジーXII インターナショナル ゾディアックジョブシステム (SLPM-66750) & (SLPM-55210)
- Also known as Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System (JP,KO,AS), 파이널 판타지 XII INTERNATIONAL Zodiac Job System (KO)
- The game sets to widescreen when it is prompted by the 16:9 ratio setting in the PS2 internal menu.
- Both the original version of Final Fantasy XII and the NTSC-J only Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System (FFXII IZJS) run the same, regardless of user patches such as English translations.
- This game has native widescreen support, but there's still a WS Patch included in PCSX2's cheats_ws.zip archive file that is superior to the game's native WS option. The native widescreen adds a bit more to the sides but crops the top and bottom of the 4:3 image, meaning less visible vertical viewing area than when played in 4:3, while the WS Patch gives you more to the sides without cropping the top and bottom. So be sure to use the WS patch in addition to setting the game's Screen Size option to 'Widescreen (16:9)'.
Known Issues
Shadows not displaying correctly
- Status:Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: Some shadows are missing or incorrectly shaped and in the wrong place. And some surfaces are completely black when they're not supposed to be.
- Workaround: Go to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, click 'Enable HW Hacks', go to Configure Hacks and enable Preload Frame Data. This will fix some shadows but also cause new shadow glitches. Switch to Software mode by setting Renderer to any of the (Software) options to avoid this issue.
Fixed Issues
Corrupted Overwritten save data
- Status:Fixed
- Type: Serious
- Description: Attempting to overwrite previous saved games will cause the new file to be corrupted.
- Workaround: Use v1.3.1-1538-gd3ec74b or newer. For older builds, either use a file-based memory card or delete the previous savegame file you wish to overwrite before saving.
