Does this version add any additional content?

Also, did they switch any of the original music with their ~REMASTERED~ bullshit like they did with 10?

If 1, I will buy it. If 2, I will just play my PS2 copy again.

Already fixed two sacred beasts, I'm taking my time doing shrine quests since mario isn't coming out for another 4 years.

Why would they agree with you, this game is from 2006. Actual games released this year for the first time should be what you are looking at, otherwise if we are gonna go there, Resident Evil REmake was 2015's GOTY

>>384454956
it has remastered music, but its actually better than the original soundtrack this time, even so you can get the original music if you want

The game is also easier because they rebalanced some things, and also you can have 2 jobs now, but its not as if the game was ever hard to begin with, the sheer amount of improvements sorta trumps the slightly lower difficulty, honestly

Just restarted because I wasn't very content with my jobs.

The ones I've decided on are:
Vaan - Shikari/foebreaker
Basch - Knight/Bushi
(maybe) Ashe - Black mage/Red mage
I really want to use the Bushi/monk combo, but I'm not sure who would use it well. Same goes for Uhlan and Time mage. My autism tells me to use every job, but I'm having a hard time figuring out who would be the best for some of them.
>>
I think I found the best set up for the party:

Vaan - Monk/White Mage
Penelo - Black Mage, Bushi
Basch - Uhlan, Time mage
Balthier - Archer, Foe Breaker
Fran - Machinist, Shikari
Ass - Knight, Red Mage

"Speed: 100% (60.00)" does not mean the game is running at 60FPS. There is no 60FPS code for IZJS, and the code available for FF12 makes almost everything in the game run at double speed.
>>
>>384469141
They didn't announce one, but I'd be surprised if it didn't come to PC.

They are just going to deny it for a few months, so that they can get retards to buy it again on PC.

I did play through this when it first came out and I enjoy the story. I honestly hate the gameplay so much I will never play it again.

I spent 3 hours breaking it down with what Jobs are best on what character, also what combinations are best.

With this in mind you can have optimum builds for 5/6 party members, my picks are:

Vaan - Knight/Samurai
Penelo - monk/Blackmage
Balthier - Shikari/Foebreaker
Fran - Whitemage/mechinist
Ashe - Archer/Red Battlemage

And Basch is the one that gets fucked up, but who cares, Basch is trash af - Uhlan/Timemage

most versatile character to least:
Vaan
Ashe
Fran
Penelo
Balthier
Basch

He is best with only 3 of the available jobs, due to stats/etc, these are:

Archer
Shikari
mechinist

Since none of those 3 matched well with each other, I went with what was left over, Uhlan/Timemage which is a good combination on its own, so that kind of makes up for it.

I'm think of getting this and using the following jobs:

I pretty much used
Monk [Vaan] + Archer [Basch] + Red Mage [Penelo]
Breaker [Fran] + Samurai [Ashe] + White Mage [Balthier]
for my PS2 party.

IMO, Vaan = Monk, Basch = Archer, Ashe = Samurai. Those 3 things should never change.

From what i've scoured, those Jobs work well with those characters. Although if you want to go with the 2 job system it has now, that make up could change.

If you want to go through with just one job each, this is deffs a strong build path.

Fran is good with timemage, not so much with uhlan.

That being said, the combination of the two is strong, so it would work out.

What about Basch then?
Maybe I'm over thinking it, but the job system seems overwhelming considering you're locked into your choices.

That is the big thing about it. It is why I spent hours figuring it out before actually picking up the controller.

That all being said, I was going for 'best possible job combinations with the best characters for those jobs', you can very easily still beat the game with one job on each character, without caring who has what jobs.

A remake of one of the shitiest FFs with the worst character designs, boring combat, terrible story, bipolar pacing, set in pseudo sandnigger world and all of it being sold at full price. Also the graphics are still arse.

They didn't even bother to make a sequel to wallow in all the typical FF mistakes and shit, no, they just rereleased an old game.
Next on the list is to forcibly have FFXV impregnate FFVII and have it spawn some monstrous triplet.

Monk for Vaan

I had no trouble with the main game content and only a little trouble with some esper fights.

Why, the only possibly reason I can think of is if you already purchased and played all of the other top notch games. Fuck me, get tales of besiria, entertaining but repetitive combat just like FFVII, interesting albeit a tad melodramatic story just like FF, main character is like able in the sense that her actions and character developments make sense UNlike a lot of FFs.

Vaan always struck me as the rebel leader type that all the other street urchins looked up to. Remember he did not grow up a street urchin. He had his brother before the war took him and still he lived with Penelo's parents before that. No one challenges Vaan on the streets and he is ballsy enough to even steal from imperials.

>>384477260
Too bad they still remain visual novels with annoying combat cutscene interuptions. Why the game is marketed as some sort of action game is beyond me. Instead of press X to continue it is press X 200 times to continue.

The "game" improves tenfold if you just watch all the cutscenes stringed together on YouTube as some sort of movie.

Just like how the movie industry is rehashing every single hit of the past, we are slowly seeing the same with games, it's just fucking bad for the industry.

>>384455152
I also had P5 in my backlog but decided to drop it because it dropped the ball so fucking hard and I don't want to lie to myself about ever getting back to it.

Meanwhile FF12 is even more fun that I remembered.

>>384477846

New games come out every month, in quantities that vastly surpass the release of remasters and remakes. The industry is fine in this aspect, especially given that actually disgusting shit like on-disc DLC has been normalized. A couple of rereleases in the down months aren't gonna kill the industry, Bob. Relax.

Do you guys have your extensions set up to notify you whenever someone on /v/ mentions FF13 or 13-2 just so you can shit on the games? That's kinda sad.

Excuse me, it is simply my bitterness speaking at being more or less made to dislike a game I wanted to like oh so bad. I have never in my life dropped a game, once I start it I will play it through. Then along comes FFXIII which looked amazing and it would be my first FF since FFVIII and then within 1 hour it crushes my inner child by having me clippity clop through endless hallways fighting repetitive combat so I can collect data entries that I need to read to get a grasp on the lore, of which there are so many the amount of reading that needs to be done rivals War&Peace.

>>384478524

First of all...

>please keep it to triple A studios/quality

Why?

As for games, check wikipedia, there's always some mistakes but these pages tend to have all A, AA and AAA releases of the year and rarely feature literal-who steam greenlight shit.
Also, my argument was that new games come out more frequently than remasters and that they come out every month, you colossal faggot. If your faggity apocalyptic speech stems from not having a new SE AAA game every month, you can choke on a million cocks.

RDM/BLM isn't even the most optimal pick for ether of them. RDM/Archer is a lot more useful practically (Fran in particular has the low level spells that RDM doesn't have and steal)

I played it and finished it in 40 hours.
I dropped it in 2006 because of how tedious the dungeon crawling was and probably would have done it again if it wasn't for that fast speed feature, it made going through a dungeon with good gambits very satisfying.
>>
>>384454668
Is it even different enough to play again? Jobs are cool and all but they don't vary up the gameplay THAT much because you already specialized you're party unless you were grinding EXP like crazy.

That's not true, every Zelda being a bad game it's actually correct though.

They are a slow high damage tank with access to medium tier black magic of fire, ice, wind, and lightning.

They are pretty good but god damn they are so slow. Pair it with something that gets 3x swiftness such as a time mage.

>>384490373
Damage cap removed, new weapons, and even though you could specialize your charactets in yhe vanilla, specialization in izjs/za is far better than it was in the vanilla.

My black mage for example? Hitting nearly 9k in archades already. In vanilla it would be way less, around 4 or 5k at best.

Should I ditch it? My planned party is:
Vaan: Hunter/Breaker

Penelo: White Mage/Time Mage OR Uhlan/Time Mage

I wonder if it would be a good idea to ditch Uhlan to double dip into White Mage for more survivability?

>Penelo - monk/Blackmage

Best job combos. I felt pretty good when I picked these myself and then found out later on the Gamefaqs sticky that this is these best combinations to use all the jobs.

Only I use different characters:
Ashe - Knight / Bushi
Vaan - Shikari / Foebreaker
Balthier - White mage / Mechanist
Fran - Archer / Red Mage

Because I cared more about what looks right and fits the character more than min/maxing animations to kill endgame content slightly faster. Entirely preference

If you just want to do some 4x mindless grinding for a few easy levels. Go to the slime switch room in Henne mines and set up some Fira gambits. Quite literally brain dead grinding for decent exp.

I tried this initially but they didn't respawn when I re-entered and pressed the button. They only respawned when I went back to the save crystal and having to go the long way every time makes it monotonous as fuck.

But I'm pretty sure I remember doing something similar in the original game is there something I'm missing or did they take it out in ZA?

Because I'm on "stand by" waiting to get word to get off work. Then take a fucking 6 hour drive to attend a dinner for one night. Then wait to leave to go back on another 6 hour drive.

If you're not worried about min-maxing don't worry too much about which jobs you pick. Just make sure you have at least one white mage, one black mage and a few DPS jobs and you can beat the game pretty easily.

Do people just want the protagonist to be some sort of chosen one that will save thw world from a big evil? The story isn't even that bad too. I never touched this game because I was stupid in listening to /v/

>Do people just want the protagonist to be some sort of chosen one that will save thw world from a big evil?

no, they just dont want the protagonist to look like a gay, white version of Aladdin.

Vaan on his own isn't really that bad, it's just that once Basch shows up he might as well not even be there.

Can every rare game be encountered in the trial mode or do I actually have to go out hunting for them in regards to the trophy?
>>
>>384503153

Having a designated tank (high health, shield/pole and light armour) can also help a lot. Generally you'll want to use Monk but you can also run Knight or Shikari. Just make sure you grab decoy from Rabanastre Bazaar, otherwise keeping enmity on a single target is pretty much impossible.

Man, I haven't played this game since the original release on PS2.

Is the job system really that much of an improvement? This game sounds comfy as fuck.
>>
>>384503593
As far as Akihiko Yoshida designs go, he could've looked different, I agree. But just that is not a good reason to hate on him I'd say.
>>
>>384503941
>Is the job system really that much of an improvement?

well it makes your characters seem different than each other plus you can make them however you want.
so i say yeah, its a bit of an improvement.

but then you find yourself falling into the min/max trap and you stop having fun.
>>
>>384502876

You can open a path to do a loop, you need to exit 2 screens away from a spot to respawn mobs. Only 1 screen to respawn chests. Although running the loop is probably just as long as heading back to the crystal just don't touch the crystal or else you lose your chain. On 4x speed it should go pretty fast.

The job system seems super stressful from a lore and minmax point of view.

like how the fuck do you make the party both unique and lore friendly when both Basch and Ashe should be knights? who relegates their second class to use the Zodiac Spear?

Revanant Wings gave characters a canon builds, and following those builds seems cancer. So many party holes its hardly funny.

I dont really consider being trapped in a time warp maturing, he stayed kind of the same throughout the whole thing until the end.

What I like about this is that the Gambit system only worked because RPG gameplay is literally that shallow and mechanical. If not, then the gambit system would be heavily outclassed by player choice. And it's not just FFXII, there's not a single RPG where combat couldn't be optimised by a few simple scripts.

Then some RPG players refuse to see that, and get angry that they're denied literally selecting options in menus with no skill or time factor involved rather than realise that their genre sucks.

the only bad part about great crystal is actually zodiac exclusive; needing to do the puzzles to get Hastega and a couple other spells. If you don't want to get those though there is zero reason for you to be having trouble with it, just make a crude map or look up a guide if you are really that shit, the spawnrate in there is actually nice and makes it a decent grinding spot, and the chests respawn a ton and can give you high tier items.

White mage is redundant for monk and Knight, who have access to high tier white magic anyway through either espers or quickenings. Same as time magic is redundant for machinist who also has access to hastega. Hell machinist and time mage are the only jobs that can get hastega.

Ashe would be the worst knight/bushi as far as dps goes because of combo animation speeds. Which is where Basch excels since he's very fast with nearly every weapon, including the niche weapons almost everyone else is slow with like hammers and axes.

Katanas - Ashe is slow, basch is v fast, vaan is v fast
1h sword - Ashe is normal, basch is v fast, vaan is normal.
2h sword - Ashe is slow, basch is v fast, vaan is fast.

What is neat about this though is that there's enough "end game" tier weapons that you could build them different anyway and all 3 use that same combo.

Ashe could run Blood Sword A then later Masamune I since it's technically a 1h sword instead of a katana
Basch could run Excalibur + white robes for the 50% holy damage boost and slap ass
Vaan could go Shikari/Bushi instead of knight and run Yagyu Dark blade + dark robes for 50% dark boost. Or he could be knight/bushi and just use the best katana since it'd be free anyway.

N0w that the dust has settled, will Squeenix focus on bringing the Lightning Saga to PS4 next? The games are already Full HD and all that's needed is to make them run on PS4. Most easy, most free money Squeenix could ever do. When will they announce this ultimate edition of FF13 Saga?

time mage / uhlan

Id buy it if it came with the DLC included.

Even as a huge FF fan, I didnt buy LR for a year or two purely because of the disgusting amount of story content locked behind a paywall in XIII-2. Even the main plot's ending was "Fuck you, buy the next game".

It only got worse with XV.

LR was fun at least when I eventually did get it used for (ironicly) $13

>>384519990
>what is the lore behind all of this anyways?

memes within the mist is the lore.
like for example: some creatures change their appearance completely when exposed to dense mist. that is from Tactics Advance 2.

basically with the quickenings they utilize the mist (a medium for magic in FF worlds) in the most intense way possible. although that doesn't explain why the end result is Inferno or Torrent or whatever after doing all these crazy moves. although those don't hurt the enemy, only the result spells do.

The Great Crystal, and Giruvegan in general, is one of the most beautiful areas in any rpg. The Great Crystal is among my favorite dungeons ever.

Man, I never played any saga game other than saga frontier 2 on psx and I didn't even finish it. But I have fond memories of it. Absolutely love the art style and music.

If you want to be the best possible summoner, you probably want white mage/time mage. The most support you can get on a single character, plus fantastic ranged damage and high speed. Hang back and snipe while buffing/healing the esper. OR play as the esper and let the summoner support via gambits.

They do more damage than other weapons on average over a period of time, but it's all random, so it's really only worth using on enemies with enough HP for that average to matter.
>>
Vaan: Knight/Shikari
Penelo: Monk/Shikari
Balthier: Machinist/Uhlan
Fran: Archer/Red Mage
Basch: Knight/Archer
Ashe: Foebreaker/Time Battlemage

Probably the closest you can get to "canon" classes for each character. Not a terrible setup either, but very limited access to white/black magic will get annoying.
>>
>>384517927
You don't stack White/Black/Red with each other. Time needs to be stacked with another magic job to reach full potential since its the only mage job without mystic armor and its missing a ton of magic lores.

>>384523392
I wasn't sure DPS wise how good they were but I love throwing grenades at enemies. I put them on Balthier and made him a red mage in the original.

Get someone with high vit and decent strength like Fran and go to town. They aren't any worse than other weapons in the long run but its a bit rng dependent.

Time doesn't really need that stuff though, it's better with heavy armor to boost crossbow damage. Time Magic isn't super reliant on having a high magic score and doesn't really need to be cast constantly, so a time mage really wants strong weapon damage for when it's not casting.

>>384523848
magic lore only impacts spell damage. Time magic has no damaging spells that arent flat damage values that dont scale. Time mage is best paired with a slow melee class to use 3x swiftness and the time magic utility. Breaker, Knight, or Lancer.
>>
>>384524526
>while Archer is arguably a better choice

what's with so many people calling archer a good class to pair things up with. I look at the license board, and it looks very underwhelming.
>>

>>384524903
>Isn't super reliant on having a high magic score
Ailments in XII actually work and their success rates are heavily dependent on having high magic unless you want to waste an accessory slot.

Crossbows aren't particularly strong weapons and are used more for setting ailments than actually dealing damage. If you're that worried about damage, you can run a Heavy/Mystic mix to even it out.

For physical jobs, you can do better than Time Mage in most cases since they either want Genji Glove access or in the case of the heavy armor jobs have a more synergistic combo (Knight/Bushi has +50% damage boosted Excalibur, Uhlan/Machinist breaks damage cap far earlier than many other jobs and Shikari/Foebreaker gets a better combo weapon and 3x swiftnes)
>>
>>384524806
Archer and mech are inarguably the worst classes in the game. Neither have any real redeeming qualities, save the supid retarded OP grindfest bow.
>>
>>384524526
You can run whatever you want, but using one piece of art to directly contradict the games themselves is a little silly. And you're ignoring Vaan's use of one-handed swords, and Ashe's use of hand-bombs.

That said, your choices are probably the closest you can get while also not doubling up on classes, which is a valid decision.

Machinist is the god of Weak Mode and in normal mode, a good combo can actually outpace many job options for a long time.

Archer's only good combos are Foebreaker and Red Mage. You can use it with Uhlan but Machinist is strictly better there.

>>384525273
Black Robe/Dark Shot is strong but only on Yiazmat. You're right about it being damn strong for a long time with a good class though.

Ranged weapons always get outdamaged by melee weapons because they can't combo.

Guns eventually get outdamaged by bows and crossbows because they ignore stats.

The weaker your party is the better guns are, but in most cases they're the worst weapon.

Machinist is generally just a way of getting swiftness onto a job that needs it, but there are many better ways of doing that.

>>384525273
The same strengths guns have are what make them shit.

If you do any leveling or grinding beyond bare minimum, you start outpacing guns very very quickly. Their lack of scaling, in a game with many hyperscaling builds and weapon choices, is what makes Mach kinda shit. Guns dont scale on either lore, they can't combo, and are incredibly slow. There are hard breakpoints for each gun's usefulness.

Mach as a class's pros are swiftness and access to high end time magic. so if you're pure speccing until lategame, it's a slightly better option than Time Mage, because of item lore and HP nodes, but not by much.
>>
>>384525909
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysV35NXsn7s
>>
>>384526296
Even talking lategame, I'd argue that Time Mage is better because Black Robe/Dark Shot is only good against one boss while Time Mage gives its partner access to an entire arsenal of buffs, debuffs (which actually work in this game) and doesn't require any espers to do so.
>>
>>384526490
That's a pretty fair point.

I know when I swapped Balthier off guns and onto spears, his damage went up dramatically, even when using on level weapons for both gun and spear.

I just dont think guns are good outside of newgame-, speedruns, and for bench characters.
>>
>>384526978
Guns can be good but you have to alternate them with your spears for the targets that your spears don't cover weakness wise. Focus/Adrenaline and a good berserk accessory can really ramp up the damage. You can't just use the same combination for every single enemy.
