It is a nightmare for my autism. I have to make sure I make the best choice for both story and stats. Along with that I have to make sure I use every class and maximum the utility of every esper. It really pisses me off that I have to divvy up the esper. It also really pisses me off that half the characters take twice as long to shoot a goddamned gun

>>384096892
Oh yeah, forgot about that one. It's pretty dumb how it's pretty much essential since character levels is an actual attribute. An extremely OP attribute.

Uhlan/Time Battlemage, she's doing pretty well so far
>>
>>384097236

it isn't that bad, ironically just dont pick machinist for balthier or archer for fran

i hated the original due to every character eventually developing the same due to identical boards, regardless of how you limited yourself, and i also hated IZJS because you only got 1 class, majority of which are fucking useless and boring and fall off 3/4 of the way through the game due to how they scale

2 jobs in this is actually a nice middle ground

shame it doesnt fix the fact that the combat is based entirely around auto attacking and gambits

all this game needed is chrono triggers battle system with positional based combo attacks
>>
>>384091047
Ivalice has all these cool and unique races and the only non hume party member we get is this thot. Yes I am mad.
>>
>>384091047
uhlan/redmage

but really how much did i fuck up, really considering starting again because penelo is useless and ashe is just a haste/berserk bitch for basch and vaan

My Fran will be a Monk/Foe Breaker. I'm going to pump her with attack and hp and watch her claw and backflip kick.

They give you a damn description of each one before picking it.
>>
>>384091047
Archer/Red Mage. I don't get why people said not to make her archer. This game is easy as fuck and her animation speed literally doesn't affect anything in the game.

>>384097712
I was just about positive that they were going to make an MMO based on Ivalice after 12. It seemed to have all the markings of "eventually we'll do it" with how they built their world.

Then when FF14 got announced, we found out they were just going to rehash 11's races and not utilize Ivalice.

I'm still mad about that.

If they actually do more than just have a little raid based on Ivalice, then maybe they have something. Last I heard, it was just a raid.

I made her my Shikari/Foebreaker. I hate Vaan and I don't think ninja swords really fit any of the other characters.

Speaking of ninja swords how far into the game do you get the first one? Is it worth rushing the license or am I going to be stuck with daggers for a while?

It is set in the future after a cataclysm that wiped out every race but humes

>>384101175
FFT was made when Final Fantasy was still all about human characters (1997). It wasn't until FF9 where they started deviating from that.
>>
>>384101175

FFT takes place many, many (like at least a millennia, possibly more) years later. Some kind of cataclysm occured that killed the moogles, and other races were either driven away or also went extinct because of it.

I agree on most of the races, but I could swear I remember some flavor text somewhere in FFT about moogles dying off in a cataclysm.

I really wish Square didn't bail on their "Ivalice Alliance" idea, where they would continue to make many games based off of Ivalice. They just sort of stopped after the 2 DS games (and they cancelled the sorta-FF12 sequel).
>>
>>384102002
I don't recall, but you're likely right about moogles being mentioned somewhere. They were still a Final Fantasy kind of thing at that point.

The "FFT and Vagrant Story are part of the same world as our upcoming games" thing was when they decided they wanted to do that "Ivalice Alliance" thing and have a sort of connected world between several of their games (which they sadly just sort of stopped later)
>>
Two questions:

What's the most most "canon" build for each character (such as ashe and greatswords)?
Also, what's the fucking timeline?

Probably in a year or two, like they did with FFX. So unless you have a dire need to play it right now, can wait.

Red Mage/Archer - Balthier

Help me decide and I'll all your cocks simultaneously.

Vaan - Shikari/Maybe foebreaker?
Penelo - White mage/Shikari (shields+evade daggers) or Time Mage
Balthier - Bushi/Knight
Fran - Foebreaker/????
Basch - Uhlan/????
Ashe - Black Mage/Something that uses swords, preferrably greatswords. Maybe knight.
>>
>>384103123
Alright give it to me straight homie, Swords and Greatswords look like they might be shit because of all the magick potency, but maybe it'll do some good stuff for the Katanas.
>>
>>384103123
I was under the impression that Red Mage/Archer or Black Mage was the "one of your characters really need to be this" of all the combinations?
>>
>>384103324
Bushi gets a ton of Swiftness.
Knight gets a ton of attack power up.
Add the ability to use greatswords AND Katanas (which scale more with strength but also with magic) and you're looking at a murder machine.
>>
Where do you get golden amulets now? Went to Mosphoran right after Raithwall and the merchant doesn't sell them like he did in the original release.
>>
>>384103395
Time Mage gets more battle lore and the same amount of swiftness, seems like that would make the Greatswords option better.

I would put Bushi with Black mage or Red Mage to augment spells instead.

>>384103663
Knight/TM is also really good, and great for swords/greatsword. I think people looking at Knight/Bushi are planning to use katanas, and the jobs have perfect synergy for that.

Should be noted though that katanas were much better weapons than greatswords previously due to combos. Dunno if removing the damage cap has changed that, but I doubt it.

Also battle and magick lores don't stack. You only get the highest of the two jobs, so no real reason to put Bushi with a damage-dealing caster.

>>384104675
Maybe it would've been better if he was pushed to a side role, his involvement and role is pretty important, but nobody likes him compared to the cooler characters and Penelo gets less shit because cute girl.

I mean, the meme is that he has nothing to do with the plot when you have Fran there who literally requires a magic barrier to force you into her backstory and then that's it. It's pretty clear a lot of hate towards Vaan is there because of how people don't want a dumb teenager as the main character.

I know the combat is slow, but the game literally shits itself and has slowdowns if you aren't on 2x speed. It feels like the speed options are 0.8x, 2x, and 4x.

Vaan - Monk

Fran - Whatever you didn't make Penelo, or vice versa
Basch - Archer
Ashe - Samurai

You can't argue against this.

>>384105031
It's not that bad. The offensive casters have the issue in that they have a single job to do, and don't gain much from splicing in versatility. So you see RM/BM purely to give RM +50% damage to ardor via equipment that the RM otherwise couldn't wear.

RM/Archer + Monk/BM is a better setup, but also ends up narrowing down people's party choices pretty hard.
>>
>>384104887
you're entirely correct
because they're just infuriatingly stupid
>>

Badly.
Only get equipment/spell licenses when you have the access to the corresponding gear.

Instead, focus on unlocking all the passive abilities. Things like those HP bonuses might seem dull, but they make a big difference.

I kind of regret making Ashe a Red Mage/Black Mage.
Sure, that makes her a pure offensive caster with some versatility but now she has all the burden of doing those more niche spells while also having to cast offensive magic. RM/Archer seems like it would, indeed, have been a much better set up. Either that RM/Knight so I can have a tank that can cast utility spells like Decoy.

That's what first playthroughs are for, I suppose, to learn these things.

The class system makes your characters stronger than in vanilla, overall IZJS and especially Zodiac Age are easier than vanilla.
>>
>>384105326

an archer/redmange with Burning bow + fire arrows can be just as potent with Ardor and you can have a monk/black mage slinging spells too. There's no defense for lumping together similar jobs. Even Knight/Bushi which is being memed for its synergy is shit because it deprives you of being able to have a greatsword user and a katana user both on the field. Knight/Time mage and Bushi/Uhlan have just as much synergy as knight and bushi.

Absolutely, completely incorrect.
Filling out most of the license board in vanilla would make every single character a god tier murder mageblade who can use the best equipment simultaneously like Excalibur, Tournesol and Muramasa while slinging spells.

Look at this.
See those lores at the corners where it says "esper ____" and there's skills behind them?
That means if you don't choose that esper on that class on that character, the skill will not be able to be activated.

Say Vaan is a Knight, this license board is for Knight, and Ashe is whatever a Bushi.
If you give Ashe the Esper Mateus, Vaan will not be able to use White Magic 6 and 7 locked at the top left of this board because the Esper will vanish from his board, leaving those skills locked forever.

>>384107189
Really? When I played this back when it first came out, I just gave everyone random espers, three to each character so that each character had three MP bars. Does this mean that if I don't give a character three espers, they will forever be stuck with one bar of MP instead of the normal three? Also, some of those espers have nothing behind them. So does that mean the goal is to combine jobs together that both have a esper with nothing behind it so neither job loses out?

I just don't understand why this autist thinks it's okay to post the same exact thing over and over, when it's just his same old shit opinion?

Sure, but you can find a combination that'll let your party beat the boss. It's pretty great. Dragon Age Origins had a similar system, also very good.

Balthier: Mechanist, Time Mage
Fran: White Mage, Archer
I care about these characters thus why I wanted them to fill these roles.

Vaan: Thief,
Penelo: Red Mage,
Amalia: No idea what it was called was the class with spears.

I guess I'd make Penelo black mage too snce she's already got a mage job. Dunno what to do with Vaan or Amalia.

Those jobs alright?

>When developing for the PlayStation 4 HD remake, Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, the developers talked about what Vaan would be like ten years after Final Fantasy XII.

Half-jokingly, we said he has to have grown up to be a lot cooler than Balthier."

Ashe: Red Mage / Archer.
Fran: White Mage / Machinist.

Long time FF fan here.
Tidus: Happy go lucky idiot with a infamous laughing scene. Also, his fourth wall breaking main character line of "this is my story" is a bit painful. But even with all of this, he still feels like a main character.
Honestly, while I don't hate him entirely, I feel like Bartz and Zidane did his style of character better.
Vaan however, is happy go lucky, but he lacks what made Tidus, Bartz, and Zidane likable. Actually being main characters with charisma. Then you look at the cast of characters:
Ashe, fallen princess who had a faked death, trying to rescue her country from the empire. Celes, while not a princess, fell into a similar situation, and many people debate over her being the main character in 6 for a good reason. Ashe could have been the main character of 12.
Or what about Basch? The entire story happens because of his twin brother. He also could have been the main character.
Or what about Balthier? Sure at first he seemed like he had no reason to be dedicated in the story, but then you see that his father is behind the empires weapons. A story of a thief going good because of a personal interest, just like Zidane. Balthier as well could have been the main character.
Really, I think I hate Vaan because not only does he not feel like the main character, but because his chest is stupid and he would look way better with a fucking shirt on.

He does actually see Balthier, Fran, Vaan, and Penelo when they got caught by the imperials in the sewers after the palace at Rabanastre got attacked. Though I'd assume he forgot who the hell they are since they're still "literally whos" to him.

>>384109892
Penelo and Ashe have the highest magic stats, and Ashe is known for having more strength so she can be given a second job for damage dealing. Also I think Fran has a decent magic stat as well. There is a general consensus that the guys have stats that lean more towards physical attack jobs, while the girls have stats that lean more towards magic. I've been hearing though that Vaan has stats that make him suitable for just about anything. Also a good thing to do for supportive magic jobs is to give them a job that deals damage that does not rely on the str stat, such as machinist. Of course unless its red mage, they can do good damage without counting on their second job.

Exactly. Its well known that 12 was made while two directors were bickering over the story the whole time, which is what caused the story to suffer greatly. I believe the same thing happened to 13, and we know how its story went.

>>384110214
I only mean during the storyline. Some of the harder earlier bosses get wrecked by Belias. They probably become weaker later on. Anyway, they're poorly balanced.
>>
>>384110345
You can't really call something bullshit when the creators themselves have on record stated in multiple interviews that due to disagreements in the story, roles were switched around while the story itself was not adjusted to be in line with said roles. Its mainly because two of the directors, or producers, were in disagreement on how the story should go. This caused the game to be delayed, and I remember some of the developers quit over it.

You can beat the final boss and any of the main storyline bosses as low as lvl 38 rushing the zodiarc spear and setting up 1 attacker and two buffers. It's also really fucking easy to do since all you need is the zodiac spear. Which is also really fucking easy to get.

I just got out of the mines and so far It's been fine with just having everyone smack enemies that get too close with their weapons while popping a potions/Cure when someone gets low on health. But I fear going forward I'll need to optimize stuff for more specific situations. Manually inputting commands for everyone makes battles move at a crawl.

Japanese voice acting industry is taken very seriously, they have to go to a school for it, even. Just because Americans hire some random homeless people off the street and maybe one real voice actor (who they whore out over and over) doesn't mean everyone else does. And even then, for things like Disney, they are willing to pay for serious actors.

Are you really going to argue the semantics of the use of the word dub? Do you have the autism? This is not like Devil May Cry or Virtua Fighter where they hired the first English speakers they could find in Japan to do the voices. The game was originally in Japanese.

If I recall correctly, Vaan was the last main character designed purely because it was decided relatively late (though still early in development) that he'd be the POV character.

Though I don't believe Balthier was the intended MC. If I'm correct, Basch was the MC in the story's initial concepts.

Fran has no bad areas because all of her stats besides vit are right in the middle of the pack or is above average.

On another note, the only good Time Mage is Ashe because she has the highest natural strength and magic stats in the game and no penalties on crossbow animation speed. Everyone else who takes that job is either a hastega bot or requires a magic subjob because TM was one of the shittiest designed jobs in the game.

If you just want a hastega bot that doesn't rely on stats you take Machinist since Guns barely require anything besides Focus/Adrenaline/Berserk. Time Mages actually care about their magic stat because they have to rely on magic lores to land spells.

Additionally, Fran has very good animation speeds on a lot of weapon types like Axes/Hammers and Poles which makes her a very good choice for Breaker/Monk. She's especially good as a breaker since 2nd highest strength and highest vit on top of fast animation speeds.

I could understand if the rates were calibrated so that on an average playthrough you would be expected to find a handful of rare items, but the chances are close to zero if you don't actively respawn the fuck out of chests while knowing exactly which ones might contain what. Without a guide or the internet, you as a player would be expected to respawn every single chest in the game hundreds of times before deciding which ones contain no rare treasure. That's insanity.

>I believe it's done in a way to ensure you run across only a handful throughout the entire game.
Except you don't. If you just casually played through the entire game and only opened the rare chests once, hell even a couple of times each, the odds that you'd get even one rare item by the end of the game are extraordinarily bad. Your theory would work if the drop rates were something like 5%, but they're more like 0.005%.

>why should i?
gambit system basically lets you program your own party AI. watching a strategy come together is pleasing
the world and story are amazing, the main characters (except vaan and penelo) are all cool and likable
theres hundreds of hours of content, possibly more if you plan to 100% the game
not infinite replayability but theres a lot due to the class system, doing level 1 runs, seeing how hard you can break the game

>why shouldnt i?
the combat might be boring to people who want more action
the story drags on at some point and feels very constraining to people who expect more open world at first
people who arent a walking encylopedia for the game will miss a lot of goodies, secrets and even entire areas, summons and in some cases ultimate weapons
that sheer amount of content might turn people away who dont want to dedicate very hard to a game. if platinuming the game on ps4 requires all the rare marks youre in for the long haul and i mean LONG HAUL

its a love it or hate it game, emulate the ps2 version and see if you like it. if you do, get the zodiac age for ps4 as its the definitive edition in terms of gameplay. or just emulate the international version, the differences arent that major

Since you need licenses to equip higher tier weapons, it's not bad to buy the best of what's available and roll with it for a while. I'd say getting all the other licenses is more important than upgrading equips anyway.

international zodiac is, at least for me, absolutely superior to vanilla

it fixes the game completely. The worst offense of vanilla was that you had no fucking idea what to do with your characters and everyone ended up being the same with the same equipment, which was infuriatingly boring

Pc version when?
>>
I really loved this game as a teenager and been wanting to replay it since I lost my disk all those years ago, but I heard about this version only two days before release. Was there zero no advertisement?
>>
So, what I want to do is open up the path to Nalbina, but a shortbow and poison, and combo game the Dive Quills or whatever by finishing them off with poison only during a high combo, to get the burning bow, which will enable me to grind like an autistic to level 99, all before completing the sunstone quest for Penelo, right?
>>
How did I do guys? I just gave Fran whatever I had left, I really didn't know what to do with her.
>>
>>384131516

If this game had a different costume for every class, like in FFT and FFTA, it would be perfect and beyond cute. I want to play as Fran in a wizardly time mage robe and Penelo with a samurai headband.
>>
>>384129796
There's a few things always worth doing:
1) Farm the rare named enemy in the Estersand when Vaan is the only member of your party, BEFORE ANYONE ELSE JOINS, by getting into Critical HP and throwing a Pheonix Down at it. Do it until level 30 or so, or more.
2) Kill Dive Talons using Quickenings until they drop Burning Bows. Your archer is now OP.
3) Farm Deathbringers from Ithuno in the Barheim passage. Just gotta steal it, then run. Something like 80-90 Attack and 12+% chance of instant KO can't be beat when you're only, like, 10 hours into the game.
>>
>>384131624
So when my party joins me they will all be at level 99 and I won't have to spread my XP again across six people. Also I plan to have the satisfaction of absolutely steamrolling this world.
>>
>>384130092
>just emulate the international version, the differences arent that major
The international system only lets you choose one job for each character out of twelve.
It pretty much limits the options you can take much more than zodiac age.
>>
>open treasure

Do you get both jobs and once or do you have to switch between them out of battle?

but due to double jobs zodiac age is infinitely easier than izjs which was already easy if you knew what you were doing.
and for a person who is entirely new to the experience, giving a person 1 job out of 12 is much more manageable than 2 jobs out of 12, which is just game-breaker bait

It's not like anything but a low-level run is challenging. IZJS and ZA are so wildly easier that I can see why people think
Ally: HP Critical > First Aid
Foe: Any > Attack
is enough to just wander the game at 4x speed and never do anything.

If I pick a job with 5 battle lores, and one with 8 battle lores, do I end up with 13 or 8?

You start with one, and then when you get your first summon you can unlock the second. They're active together and anything you unlock on one will automatically unlock on the other if they're shared between them.

0.002% of getting item in a RNG chest is perfectly fine in a single player RPG according to the devs

Now do it 20 times, for each of your party members equips
>>
>>384134020
There isn't really anything missable. Some license boards have quickenings blocking stuff and you can only have 3 quickenings so pay attention to that. I think hunter is the big culprit here.
>>
>>384134020
The only thing you have to worry about is picking between Ninja 2 and Ninja 3 on Hunter because everyone takes 1 and 4.

I'm at the same impass so I'll give you my thoughts

Most elites are immune to oil

Monk will have WM 9 + 11/12 (Chaos)

So that means that if you have another monk in your party (Monk/Bushi or the like) they won't have Holy/Esunaga/Protectga/Shellga

I've heard good word of Archer/RM instead of BM/RM but I can't really think of the benefits besides red bow and more str

That's not really an answer to your question but I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should consider your set-up and decide based on what you don't have/need
>>
>>384134473
Yeah I think I screwed Ashe on the bushi board already on this and I took the first quickening for most other characters as well. Makes me mad that they exist simply to screw new players over. Seems retarded to me
>>384134584
I think I skipped one but should I just take 2, 3, and 4? I'll need to check when I get home
>>
>>384098047
I dunno, but it seems weird to me.

Haven't gotten second classes yet, but this is what I'm planning:

Vaan: Shikari/Time Battlemage
Balthier: Machinist/Uhlan
Fran: Archer/ Black Mage
Basch: Bushi/Foebreaker
Ashe: Knight/Red Battlemage
Penelo: Monk/White Mage
>>
>>384134729
Archer/Red gets a ton of benefits from taking Shem and you always give your Red access to Cu anyway. Red is a very self sufficient job so its one of the cases of stacking goodies that work out well for each other.

>>384134930
1, 2, 3 and 4 are behind quickenings. The ultimate weapons are behind 4 so you have to pick 2 of the remaining ones. 1 gives you a lot of weapons while 2 and 3 let you pick between water and earth damage.
>>
>>384134669
How do bazaars work? I don't seem to have access to them still

Does it function like if I sell enemy drops certain items become available to buy?

>>
>>384101525
This is wrong.
>>
What about white robes+holy lance or excalibur?
>>
>>384135145
You have access to the bazaar on the outset and its connected to all shops everywhere the problem is unlocking items which requires selling specific loot in certain quantities some of which is a bitch to get. To get the best stuff you're gonna need a guide for a lot of the endgame gear also unlock monographs asap they're expensive (18000 gil on average) but they significantly raise drop rate, multiple drop rate and rare drops.
>>
>>384135145
Yeah that's it. Each bazaar purchase has a "recipe", like sell 3 wolf skins and 1 dinosaur poop for an iron sword. Once you sell the required items the bazaar will update and you can buy the thing there. You will unlock most bazaar stuff by playing normally but look up the Tournesol ingredients, those are a bitch to get so if you get any keep it until you have all the ingredients, just to make sure you don't mess up and end up using some of the ingredients on other recipes.
>>
>>384135009
>Vaan
Meh, Shikari doesn't want anything that time mage offers since it already has 3x Swiftness and the other heavy armor jobs give better options.

>Balthier
Great. This combo isn't game breakingingly good but its very solid and can hit every weakness but Thunder hard at the end.

>Fran
Inferior to Archer/Red Mage since Black is a full time job that won't ever use any of the archer options besides burning bow (it already has flame staff so its that's pointless)

>Basch
Solid but you can do better. Not a bad choice at all.

>Ashe
If you want a Knight that can do magic on the side, do Knight/Time Mage. Not a very synergistic combo you have going here.

>Penelo
Terrible, you're wasting everything that both jobs have to offer.
>>
>>384135564
You can sell them but you have to wait until when you unlock every recipe that requires Gemsteel or whatever.
>>
>>384135549
I have all monographs except the mage (talk to a magick shop 25 times) and it just will NOT unlock no matter how many times I talk to magick merchants. I think it might have bugged on me and it's irking me.
>>
>>384135012
Oh I understand so i should take 1, 4 and either 2 or 3 depending on what element I want to use

Aren't both earth and water damage hard to come by though?
>>384135549
>>384135564
So should I not just sell the stuff I have already or just look up a guide to make sure I don't sell good things?

I'm fine with grinding and stuff like that considering I just recently put well over 100 hours into XCX with tons of grinding but the grind in this seems way more tedious with losing important stuff or getting locked out of gear
>>
Did I fuck up by making Balthier a knight?
>>
>>384135890
There's a water shot item for guns so most people take the earth weapon.
>>
>>384135723
Ok apparently it's a bug, the shop in Archades doesn't allow you to trigger the mage monograph for some reason. I just got it in Rabanastre.
>>
>>384135890
Naw sell every thing you pick up with few exceptions (Teleport stones ext) or you'll end up a poorfag all game, the bazaar doesn't matter much until end game and even then most of the hunt rewards are good enough for optional bosses anyway. Most bazaar purchases just unlock gear you'd get a dungeon earlier for cheap or one of a kind items that get out classed its really only important for completionist autists and folk who use ranged weapons because it's the only way to get viable ammo.
