Why the fuck do you not have a White Mage by default? It's common fucking sense in any game even if you completely ignore magic most of the time.

White mage/Time mage
or
White mage/Machinst???
>>
>>383893095
Because I'm a retard. At first I was going to make Penelo a White Mage because she felt like one to me but when I got her I thought it'd be cool to have a Black Mage so I made her a Black Mage. I'll just give it as a second job to someone later.

I mean in my first run of FFX-2 as a retarded teenager I didn't change Rikku and Paine's jobs for the entire game, missed pretty much everything and I still made Yuna a White Mage. Whatever, different strokes I guess.

Here is what I am thinking.

Vaan - Monk/Shikari
Penelo - Archer/Time Mage
Balthier - White Mage/Black Mage
Fran - Uhlan/Knight
Basch - Foebreaker/Machinist
Ashe - Red Mage/Bushi

I want to use every class.

The only thing I have done for sure is make Vaan a Monk.

I really don't know what I want to do with anyone, I just want to do something fun.

>Hurr muh angsty teen Vaan
The thing is, even though he has out of ANY FF protagonist to date THE biggest right to be angsty he isn't. He gets over what little spite he had pretty much as soon as Basch proves he's innocent in killing Reks and is pretty level headed for the rest of the game. Reviewers and fans are just idiots who see every teenage character as angsty.
>>
>>383893392
That's actually a cool as fuck casting.

The biggest complaint I see about Vaan is that he's mostly inconsequential to the plot. Not that he's angsty.

>>383894008
I love how he's by far the best character in the game stats-wise despite being so inconsequential to the plot.
I'm terrified my party is just gonna be Vaan Basch and Ashe again because they're by far the most useful characters at what they do (Vaan as a tank, Basch as a straight damage dealer and Ashe as Mage/Archer).
>>
okay /v/, just how much better is the Zodiac age combat compared to the original?

Because the original fucking sucked
>>
>>383894276
Yeah I agree absolutely but it's a common thing is jrpgs. They need crazy ass anime attacks, it's expected of them so they tack them on without much thought. It's up to you to not use them. They really should be more "grounded" like you say and they should be not so fucking broken too.
>>
Penelo: Archer/Black mage
Ashe: Machinist/White mage
Basch: Samurai/Monk

What could go wrong? I kinda don't like having only one character to really benefit from berserker, but I guess I could make Vaan a thief, uhlan or knight to switch with Penelo if needed.
>>
>>383893521
Good'ol Limit Breaks that have been series staple ever since FF6 (yes, FF6, not FF7, in FF6 they were semi-hidden though and many people aren't even aware of them, look up Desperation Attacks in FF6) introduced them.
Each game since then does something unique with them.
In FF6 it's purely random when on low HP.
In FF7 you've got a bar to charge and then can use it at will.
In FF8 it's affected by HP, Aura Status and Status Ailments.
In FF9 you get Super Saiyan transformations that power up the stats and movesets.
In FF10 it's more like FF7 but with distinction into Warrior and Healer type charging modes (Warrior-types can only charge their bar by attacking while Healer-types can only charge it by Healing/Buffing).
In FF12 they also use a bar charge system ala FF7 with no distinction into types, but they are divided into 3 different levels and use QTE to perform them allowing you to chain multiple ones from all your current characters and you get an extra one based on the combination you used.
For example 3x Tier 1 Quickening nets you the Inferno bonus one, 2x Tier 1 + 2x Tier 2 gives you Torrent and so on.
It's honestly my favourite Limit Break system in the series to date.
FF13 has by far the worst, they're more or less "regular" moves that you need to unlock in each characters specific Crystarium late into the game and can be spammed every turn, but they each require full ATB bar charges so you need to wait long if you want to spam them every turn.
>>
>>383894407
It's much better but if you didn't like the original you won't like this, the bases are exactly the same.
>>
>>383894246

Stat difference are negligible. When people say about best job, they are talking about how long the characters take to do an attack animation. Balthier is the slowest with guns, and Fran is the slowest with bows for example. But even then, it's something like 0,2 seconds slower.
>>
>>383894169
Isn't Mist basically the ambient magick energy in the air or something along those lines? It kinda makes sense that Quickenings that draw it all in at once would allow them to do much more dramatic magick attacks.
>>383894276
I wouldn't really call it anime in that sense. They're flashy in effect but they still have that distinct design quality that lets them fit in, they don't do big over the top animations for example. They're really similar to Break Arts and FFT spells still.

IIRC he wasn't in the original concept. Ash or Basch was supposed to be the main character, but he was added in later. Most likely to appeal to a fanbase Buy who knows? Either way he's effectively Luke in the Final Fantasy that mimics Star Wars the most.

I have a gambit on Balthier with cast first aid on a party member with less than 50% hp like he showed in the tutorial.

Priority. Put the first aid one at the top of the list.
>>
>>383894871

Place it higher on the list to give it more priority. Also first aid doesn't really work unless a character's hp is in the red
>>
>>383894871
First aid only works on critical HP. The gambit order is also important.
>>
>>383894871
First Aid only works on critical-health allies.
>>
>>383894812
>this acne
NOPE
>>
>>383894871
Maybe you don't have mp to cast it? Or no one is at critical health? Or you have another gambit on higher priority?

>>
>>383895062
It's just the international version with some neat tweaks.
>>
>>383895062
It has new changes that weren't present in IZJS.
You can now pick 2 Jobs per character instead of 1 like in IZJS and 0 like in vanilla.
Speed up now goes up to 4x Speed unlike 2x in IZJS and 0x in vanilla.
Attack Buffering has been removed entirely so now there is no "queue" for attacks and spells so the powerful attacks are now actually viable instead of being useless like on PS2 due to the buffering so the PS2 wouldn't fry itself.

Instead of foe>nearest or foe>full hp, do foe>party leader target. Or just don't have any offensive gambit. On my first playthrough I only used foe>party leader target on my two companions, and turned the gambits off on my leader, and he always kept attacking the monster.

>>383897175
not quite since your gear detetrmines how strong you actually are. getting the licenses won't magically spawn the equipment on your inventory.

pretty much, since you don't have to compromise having shitty characters that specialize only on debuffs or having a weak ass mage who has access to high level spells but dies in a few hits.

>>
>>383897762
one is a single player game one is a mmo. how did you even think this question was a good one to ask?
>>
>>383897762
XIV feels pretty similar to XII already thanks to having the same artist behind it (Akihiko Yoshida), not to mention wandering through those vast sceneries and farming shit for hours.
but I still prefer XII because it's SP and I don't have to bother making parties with assholes for dungeons just to advance the story
>>
>>383897762
I did love XIV for the year and a half I played before HW hit, but XII is and will always be my favorite game of all time. XIV is more of a loving homage but the story, script, and style will always go to XII. I will say XIV is a much truer sequel to XII than Revenant Wings (boo, hiss) even if the plot is unrelated in terms of gameplay and polish.
>>
>>383896843

Anyone?
>>
>>383898175
dunno but since you're bruteforcing the game to activate stuff it's supposed to be permanently locked it's probably going to work the same way, that is, if it works at all.
maybe it will force your character to stick only with the new job's stuff or just crash
>>
>thinking about how to keep berserk up
>mfw remember about armguards
>>
>>383896843
I don't think IZJS has been coded to take two jobs into consideration when calculating a character's features.
It's probably going to reset or null the other's progress to keep only one of the jobs and their respective licenses active.

Well, tested it. Unlocked spear lores on a samurai and it allowed me to equip spears.
But this is what it looks like when I switch jobs. On the left, samurai, the job I picked for her in the beginning, on the right, the job I changed to in the save editor. the lores doesn't stack, unless one grid go have 2 battle lores and the other have 3, then I'll use the first job with 3 battle lores instead of 2.

Vaan's relevance is the relevance of an average and below person stuck in a story bigger than him, with princesses, emperors and gods. What would you have done in his place? Nothing better, cause you're just a simpleton.

Hating Vaan is hating yourself.

Vaan and Penelo are there to show the Ashe who are the people she have to protect as a queen instead of just fighting for power or vengeance against the empire.

what's the guide's argument for reversing Balthier and Basch's setup in your party?
do they have some innate abilities or stats that help with these jobs?

your six-man party is evenly split between the nobles, the commoners and the free folk

it does, it's perfectly fine to have a story where the main character is merely witnessing a far more important character 's progress and narrating it from his point of view, specially if the story has some inconsistencies or looks embellished as consequence.

Those are the most badass summons in the whole series and SE still couldn't bother making them actually useful even in this remaster. Being able to control them as in IZJS is just not enough, they're shit and your party is almost always more competent.

Is this game easy enough that I can get by with just picking whatever I want for jobs

i've been staring at the licence board for about 10 minutes now unsure about what job to pick for Vaan
>>
>>383904792
yes, don't listen to anyone telling you otherwise. Obviously if you make everyone have the same fucking job layout you're gonna have a hard time but it's not going to be impossible. Just as you can finish ff1 with 4 white mages you can finish ff12 with some pretty retarded setups. Get to a hard spot, just grind some.

What was it, Gurren Lagann final episode?

That's disease. It's removed with remedies with remedy lore or vaccines. Apparently having bubble on you makes you immune to it too. The magic Cleanse also removes it.

No, two permanent jobs per character.

The problem with Vaan is the same problem with most the core cast; the story doesn't really DO anything worthwhile with them. You know their archtypes. You know what their arcs will be. But you're given no reason to really care. Everyone knows Vaan will get over his hate towards the empire and have an optimistic view on things, but it just sorta "happens"; there's no real weight to it. Same with the other characters. Basch has his vendetta with Gabranth, but it barely amounts to much. Same with Balthier and Cid. Ashe, who we're supposed to believe feels a fiery wrath towards Archades, just comes off as very passive for a good chunk of the game.

I think you get 4 quickening slots on the board, each one leading to some lores/equipments. Since you can only choose 3 quickenings, one of those lores/equipments will be locked away. forever.

The red squares are quickenings. You can only pick 3. After you picked 3, the last one will disappear, locking out some stuff in the grid.
I may be wrong though, but I think it's like that.

Yeah you're wrong. There's 3 Quickenings per board, that's the maximum available. From what I've seen you don't get locked out of things, as you're board is set per class.

Well there's break damage limit and the spell queue is supposedly fixed, but I'm sure they fall behind in DPS compared to a haste/berserk 10-chain comboing bushi
During a playthrough magic is pretty effective for AoE, it can target flying enemies, and some some enemies are resistant to physical

>>383908537
Belias was always effective against him
>>
>>383908443
Some of them are based off of the Final Bosses of the earlier games.

Chaos = Chaos, FF1
Mateus = Emperor, FF2 - In the Japanese Novelisation, his name was Emperor Mateus
Famfrit = Cloud of Darkness, FF3
Zeromus = Zeromus, FF4
Exodus = Exdeath, FF5
Zalera = Necron, FF9 (The Angel of Death idea could also apply to Kuja though)

The other Espers don't really have obvious connotations to the other Final Bosses, at least as far as I can tell.

I'd like to platinum this game, but I'm worried. Two of the trophies are for getting all of the technicks, magic, etc on the license board. I picked Shikari twice for two different characters (one as its first job, the other as its second job) because of the builds I wanted to do.

Have I locked myself out of license board skills/magic/whatever unique to a job, given that I can no longer have every job represented?

The license boards share licenses. So now, if you pick up a battle/magic lore from one board, that same license will be taken on another board. It's pretty useful for teleporting around a character's second board.

The licenses on both boards don't stack, however, some jobs have more magick/battle lores than others. So you can you get a lot of lores on one character if you choose the proper jobs.

I honestly don't know. Try it out and report your results! Though ZA has some rebalancing from IZJS and different treasure locations the demon wall blood sword location was changed in raithwall, for instance. you no longer need to kill demon wall to get it. instead you get a scathe mote for your troubles and you can gain jp from trial mode and take items from it. If you don't care about that stuff, then do what you like.

Vaan works well as literally anything.
>>
>>383921958
>>383922267
Forgot to mention that you can get the Blood Sword A, or Karkata, as it's now named, from the third trial as a rare steal. It's pretty ridiculous.
>>
>>383922118
The only job with spears is Uhlan and she starts with a bow, so Uhlan/Archer is your Fran setup I guess.

>>383922368
Each character gets two jobs so you'll ultimately get access to them all if that makes it easier.

I always love the moments in FF games, usually at the beginning but sometimes they also occur later on, during which there is a moment of rest. Where it's not on the edge right now and shit's about to go down.

For example, in ff7 icicle inn and costa del sol.
or balamb garden in ff8. or running around on comfy besaid island in ff10.

>or do they just go "oh hey this thing is popular right now let's do that" like some kind of mixed grab bag from everything FF thrown together?
As much as shitposting memesters will say that is the case, it's really not.
XIV has a shit-ton of references to previous FFs, but 99% of them make perfect sense within the context of the world and story. The Main Scenario is mostly its own, unique thing, with the references being minimal and sparse. The sidequests are more reference-heavy, though.

The 1% that don't really make sense being the Shantotto FFXI crossover event (which even then kinda makes sense if you followed XI), and the Lightning crossover; which didn't really make much sense, because Lightning is determined to literally be the worst fucking thing in every game her ugly, Cloud-in-drag, flat ass unfortunately appears in.

Japanese 30yo is American 50yo. Also I need to adjust the image because Danzig is way too old for Vayne (though he would have been great 30 years ago). Trent is much better, assuming he could actually pull off the acting. I fully endorse Matt Bomer for Vossler as another anon suggested.

I always got a surrogate-father-figure to Vaan from Balthier, maybe it's just me. He definitely didn't strike me as acting terribly young, but I guess he could seem more of a brother figure.
>>
>>383927828
Balthier is the cool uncle.
>>
>>383927927
That works too. I just know Balthier's got a few daddy issues so I figured him seeing Vaan wanting to follow in his footsteps made him want to give Vaan the childhood he never had.

Well shit if that's still true I'm not going to bother. I ain't fucking casting single target haste over and over.

machinist offers nothing to black mage save for x3 swiftness and hastega by the late late game
breaker+knight is redundant, both are tanks and use heavy armor, mix breaker with shikari for x3swiftness and armor/weapon variety
white mage/bushi is great for trash encounters but you'll need a white mage on hard bosses and samurai is beastly once you get genji gloves so you'll be missing out on that

The only thing I can complain about is some of the texture filtering, which makes some surface textures look to rounded and darkened in spots. Otherwise, the look is fantastic. The new lighting and surface lighting goes a long way.

In-game, that scene looked fine.

a lot of the sidequests are what is difficult. Having recently played the game for ps2 I have noticed that the game feels easier.

>>383932546

Me too, especially now that magic is good.

>Ashe - Shikari/White mage
She's tanky as fuck, block/dodging everything. She's quick with the dagger and does decent damage in between being a healslut.

>Fran - Monk/Black Mage
Her pole game is strong. She's got a pretty good dodge rate, and until I unlocked her second class, her HP dwarfed everyone elses.

>Penelo - Archer/Red mage

She's my jack of all trades, she provides backup healing and attack magic. Ardor + Burning Bow set up makes her as potent as Fran.

I see little reason to use the guys, but they're a pretty effective team themselves.

>Van - Knight/Time Mage
He's the male equivalent of Ashe, but he sacrifices some of her tankiness and healing potency for a little more attack and utility.

>Balthier - Samurai/Uhlan
Pure DPS

>Basch - Foebreaker/Machinist
Debuffer and damage dealer.

Red mage and Black Mage are really redundant.

Rather than having one super strong spell caster, you can have one plus jack of all trades backup healer with a super strong spell.

Now that there's no limit to on screen spells, it's way better to have more than one competent spellcaster.

Is Balthier a good Red Mage or not?
>>
>>383937475

Samurai Lancer Balthier gives 3x quickening without esper and it gives Samurai the strength boosts and heavy armor it so desperately needs. Balthier is also tied for quickest katana user and he's the fastest spear user for combos.

Monk and archer gets 3x quickenings without esper, but at a glance the pairing has weak synergy. Monk and Archer are better paired with magical vocations than with each other.
>>
>>383938027
minor hover hand kind of ruins it.
>>
>>383937754
Guess that's true. Didn't think about it that way.
>>
>>383938454

Low total MP score, Low magic score, and he's slow as fuck with maces. No, He's abysmal. The game isn't so hard that any of this should matter, but if your goal is min/max then keep Balthier as far away from magic as possible. The only male decent at magic is Vaan because of his ubermesch stats.

>>383937754
What would you do for white mage? This is the one I'm stuck on the most. Time mage seems like too much work for one class so I was thinking a physical class for white mage would be better so they're not so bogged down and can contribute to combat when heals are not needed.

Shikari + White make is great. Daggers + Shields give a huge dodge rate so they can do some physical damage without endangering themselves. Daggers look like short swords in this game so you will feel like a godly paladin when undeads are around.

Machinist + White mage is a good choice because the damage is static and ignores defenses. You can set your white mage to attack the farthest enemy so they will keep their distance and almost never get hit.

I am using Vaan, Fran and Ashe. They are KILLING it. I have Fran and Ashe use their bows, and Vaan use his katanas. I am killing everything so nicely. Im at like level 35 with those 3. However, Basch is like lvl 20, and Balthier and Penelo are level 12.
I feel bad that Balthier is that low. But oh well.
>>
>Vaan - Bushi (samurai)
>Balthier - Monk
>Fran - Time Mage
>Basch - Archer
>Penelo - Lancer

Stuck on Ashe. Can't Decide on Red Mage or Black Mage.

It actually took options away to give each character less.

TES fans have been begging for the same thing. They want to role play better by being shit at anything they aren't specialized in.

Under the original system all the characters eventually become a jack of all trades sort of thing. They should have allowed the option for both imo. Those who want to nerf themselves for more of a "challenge" and those who prefer the original board.

People didn't know how to have fun with it, so they went for generic shit for all of their characters and made them all the same. The argument that "everyone was the same" is kind of stupid because even excluding skills and the fact that said scenario is only relevant end-game, gambits and equipment determine what a character does. If you make everyone the same, that's on you. All TZA does is create concrete barriers to force people out of that (or at least discourage them from it); players always had the option to do it themselves.

>Those who want to nerf themselves for more of a "challenge" and those who prefer the original board.
You have it the other way around. Those who "want to nerf themselves for a challenge" did it with the original board. People who don't do it themselves need to be forced into limitations. For example, do you think 112233 autists have an issue with the original board? Those sort of people don't grind, they set limitations on themselves, have a certain goal in mind, and feel rewarded when they achieve it.

>>383944636

If only the other weapons were as good as the endgame greatswords, this wouldn't be a problem.

Can you combine Whitemage with Uhlan or rather put that together with Shik and maybe Monk with Uhlan?
>>
>>383891996
I haven't played this yet. Did they fix the audio?
>>
>>383947324
No it's ironically worse now.

It's uncompressed so it sounds way better now

Aside from the voices sometimes, it sounds good to me.

Guys, I made Balthier a machinist, what do I pick for his second class? White mage?
>>
>>383947324
<4GB for PS2
40GB+ for PS4

Yeah, it's a little better than the original.
>>
Am I the only one that prefers Basch with his beard on?
>>
I've heard good things about Knight/Bushi, but what about Knight/Breaker?
>>
>>383948101

Balthier is literally built for close range DPS with fast weapon animations rivaling Basch.

You cut off one of his nuts by making him machinist. The only way you can save him is making his next job Uhlan.
>>
>>383948014
It isn't.

>>383947710
They boosted the volume according to videos I've seen.
>>
>>383948421

No utility. You're mixing two tanks together rather than drawin out the latent healing powers of Knight.
>>
So this is IZJS in HD right?
>>
did it aged well?
>>
>>383949997
No its Zodiac Age silly. Seriously though, they let you use two jobs and effect capacity isn't an issue anymore. We got 4x speed now, a map overlay and some other shit I forgot.
>>
>>383950216
Oh fuck then I'll just get this then.
>>
>>383949997
It's IZJS on steroids
>>
>>383949997
Basically IZJS [FINAL MIX], Bells and whistles on top of bells and whistles. I've been emulating IZJS for almost a decade and this is definitely definitively the best way to play the best game ever.
>>
>Kato: The thing about the original game is that it was fully optimized to make the fullest use of the PlayStation 2 hardware. This time again, we decided that, in the same way, we would use the PlayStation 4 hardware and optimize everything to work really well with it. For the time being, we’re quite happy keeping it for the PS4. We think everyone should buy one to play this game!
rip pc version

>>383950545
They're not going to cannibalize first-run sales by announcing an easier-pirateable version the same week it initially comes out. 8-12 months and I guarantee it'll be on Steam. I am personally glad I don't have to wait though.

Is it worth $65 canadabucks?

12 is the only non MMO 3D FF I haven't played yet.
>>
>>383950781
The story is Shakespeare x Star Wars. The gameplay is halfway between VII and XV. IX was FF looking backwards fondly, XII was FF looking forward hopefully.

Are you sure you can't find it cheaper? I bought for 30 euro

and ot answer you question, no any remaster is not worth this price.

>>383952198
I really don't understand guns. I get they pierce, but it doesn't seem worth it at all. What advantage do they really have over everything else?
>>
>>383952342
What do you mean they pierce? Like they can hit multiple enemies? I've never played this game before.
>>
>>383929489
Why would you do this?
>>
>>383951641
but if I've never played it before it's not a remaster to me. As a brand new game is it worth the price?
>>
>>383952434
They're supposed to ignore defense.
>>
>>383952434
They negate an enemy's defense or evasion or something along those lines.
>>
>>383952434
They ignore the enemy's defense stat. Most other weapons have to take into account the defense in damage calculation. Also, guns can't miss/be blocked/whatever. The downside is some enemies just have natural resistance to guns, they're really fucking slow, and it takes a lot of preparation to make them do more than their set damage.

>and this is definitely definitively the best way to play the best game ever.
Except that it looks worse, loading is longer, you have no mods, and you can't play as fast.
>>
Here's what I have so far:
Vaan:Monk
Penelo: White Mage
Balthier: Shikari
Fran: Foebreaker
Basch: Uhlan
Planning to make Ashe Red Battlemage. Should it not be that? What are good secondaries for each?
>>
>>383902147
The old testament is full of shit like this, where innocents caught in the crossfire are punished, just and unjust alike. It's really disturbing and unfair, and either shows the limits of the gods and their abilities, or their disinterest in those that aren't like them.

Are you forced to use any party members other than near the start of the game?
I want to get rid of can as soon as possible and never use him ever again
>>
>>383953442
>IZJS only runs at 2x, ZA allows 4x
Uncap your FPS with 2x speed and you get something like 8x speed.
>>
>>383953442
To be fair a mod that actually adds a map to the Great Crystal would be fantastic. Unless this new version does that already.
>>
damn the new soundtrack is fucking good, I was afraid they would fuck it up
>>
>>383953514
there's a point where all this speed starts fucking up gameplay, I barely use 4x
>>
>>383953617
No there isn't. You only ever need inputs during bosses so you can just toggle it then.
>>
>>383953593
wasn't there an interview where they stated they merely "fixed" the orchestral soundtrack by replacing synth instruments with real ones?
there are just a few new songs mixed in, the rest is based on the old version
>>
>>383953461
I assume you mean Vaan. The party is a revolving door up until the mines. You spend the most time with Fran and Balthier, and then you get Basch after you make it back to Rabanastre and then they return. You still have quite a ways to go until you can bench him.
>>
>>383917791
>>383918429
>Uhlan

And here I was reading the gamefaqs posts too, then playing the game (in spanish) and looking at the job names and I had no fucking idea what Uhlan was until I omitted the obvious ones.

It looks like they left Bushi as Samurai and Uhlan as Lancer.
>>
>>383953783
There is the remastered soundtrack which utilizes the original masters, and then the "reorchestrated track" which I assume does what you're talking about. Either can be selected at any point in the game through the options menu.
>>
>>383953925
what about that soundtrack DLC that comes with the limited edition?
>>
>>383954014
I'm fairly certain that's the Reorchestrated version, but might be both.

I've been switching back and forth during the game and the reorchestrated version is slick as fuck and sounds really good, but my nostalgia boner is through the roof on the remastered original OST.
>>
>>383954178
but the regular game already comes with two options, that makes the DLC a third one
>>
What job goes with Breaker? Who job combo should use the Zodiac spear?
>>
>>383954276
I didn't get the limited edition, but I'm fairly certain I read the DLC code is FLAC tracks of one of the two for use outside of the game, not a 3rd in-game track.
>>
>>383954412
It's a third in-game track.
>>
>>383954358
make Balthier a breaker / hunter
Fran as time mage / uhlan so she can have the zodiac spear and some buffs like Bubble
>>
>>383954547
>>383954276
OK, so the DLC code is for the original, non-remastered soundtrack.

God dammit the white mousse room is so cancerous for lower levels.

>>383954702
ah, so it's the old synth orchestra from PS2
great for nostalgia
>>
>>383954702
Yep, I'm pretty sure it's the original soundtrack, not the in-game one but the cd one or whatever you want to call it.

>>
>>383954850
I mean, the standard remastered OST in the game is the synth orchestra too, just remixed and cleaned up. Not re-recorded like the second standard-game track.
>>
>>383954993
He got the game earlier.
>>
>>383955112
>just remixed and cleaned up
that's the thing, the dlc is not based off the cleaned tracks from the OST, but the ingame compressed soundtrack from PS2
there are some tracks like Barheim Passage that feel different from PS2 and the old OST on Youtube
>>
So does that black letterboxing only appear when you have subs on, or is it just constant?
>>
I'm about to play this for the first time. Rather than min-maxing with autistic Gamefaqs guides, I just want to pick jobs that feel appropriate for each character based on their personality and skillsets in the story. As long as I apply a bit of common game-sense to this (get a White Mage, don't make a team full of tanks with no one to do damage, etc.) that'll be fine, right? There's no content that requires some perfect min-max setup, I hope.

Also I hear the game shits itself in the second half storywise, but considering XV is still fresh in my memory, it probably won't seem as bad in comparison.
>>
I'm following the same zodiac guide I did before. I'm at the barheim passage (before I go to the tribe of whatever they are..) and I'm about level 31. I'm supposed to fight Zalera according to the guide, but I don't think I can do it.

Having a lot of fun. I just followed the gamefaqs reccommended classes like last time, with the stealing white mage tank and monk tank, and then the second classes are going to be the "ultimate pain" jobs.
>>
>>383955673

constant
>>
>>383956129
no problem, but since you can pick two jobs per character and most of them don't particularly fit anyone, you can still pick canon roles and still make a decent minmax setup

Breaker/Hunter (Balthier won't necessarily wield guns but he's a former judge anyway so he can use anything he wants)
White Mage/Machinist (Penelo as the cute healer waifu)
Samurai/Knight (Basch obviously)
Black Mage/Monk (Vaan's abs sure make him look fot enough for a Monk class, also his Firefox quickening matches the black magic affinity)
Time Mage/Uhlan (Fran wielding spears as it fits her due to her exotic appearance and size)
Red Mage/Archer (Ashe, can wield short swords like in the cutscenes)
>>
>>383956129

the general rule of thumb with pairing jobs is to pair jobs that cover a weakness of the other.

Like the Knight class only has one swiftness augment so you'd pair that with a class that gets all 3 of them.

Or pairing black or white mage with a job that gets you more HP augments since they get very few or even have some locked behind espers
