Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age Has A Fast-Forward Button
The HD remaster of Final Fantasy XII will come with a fast forward feature, letting players blaze through all those random battles and giant maps at twice or even quadruple speed.
“One feedback we got from fans who played the original Final Fantasy XII was how vast the fields are,†said Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age director Takashi Katano during an interview at E3 in Los Angeles today. “It took a very long time to get through those fields. So we wanted to make that experience a little more convenient for the user.â€
There are actually two different modes. One lets you play at 4x the speed. “It’s probably wise to use that when you’re crossing huge terrains,†Katano said.
The other is 2x normal speed. “That’s useful if you want to get through more enclosed, crowded spaces like cities and dungeons,†Katano said.

That's nice, I guess, perhaps there will be a quick button for this as what they did with FFX's quick recovery.. or perhaps a new settings dependent of where you are.

Like how they demo MGSV Phantom Pain in a big open-world. Going from 1 point to another, while riding a horse, they have to fast forward the video to emphasize, uhm size of the play area.
