FFXII *is* it's locations imo. I once spent an entire 40 hour work week smoking weed and running around Ivalice with a piece of paper taped over the minimap. It is one of my fondest memories of the last year.
Of course, if I wanted to enjoy an HD remaster, I would have to buy it again, plus a PS3/4 and an HD TV, which really I would rather spend 1% of that money on a big bag of pot and get the same amount of immersion.
