isn't he immune to physicals at low hp?

>>385065549
And magical.
And status effects.
You have to wait it out even if it takes you 2 seconds to get him down to 1 hp, his immunity phase lasts about 5 minutes during which time he can kill every one of your party members because suddenly his attack will shoot through the roof, and is easily capable of trapping you in an infinite revive loop.

Wasnt a problem for me, I one shotted him with quickening chains

>>385065796
I did this after 3 deaths fighting him normally. If he wants to cheat with an immunity phase longer than my grandfather's behemoth cock, I'll cheat too.

Why does Balthier has a katana?

>>385065659
He's not immune to magic, you just need to use non-elemental stuff like Drain. Pretty sure you should be able to Blind him even at that point too.

>>385066041

Only after his immunity phase wears off. It has to say "Faggot's status effect immunity aura wore off" before you can do that.

>>385067889
You make it sound as if the other ones were any harder. These were just QoL changes.

>>385067494
What? Pretty sure you can do Quickening combos in the original game. One of the easy ways to cheap out encounters early on.

>>385067889
Oh yeah the original is so hard where every character becomes the exact same literal god who has every move and armor and weapon in the game at all times.

At least in this you have to pick your roles smart and do good team comps and every character isn't a tank healer damage dealer megagod of overpowered.

>>385068212
>>385068165

The original game was far more challenging and did not let you cheese everything the way the "updated" versions do.

Quickening chains were neutered by the damage cap and by costing MP to use, weapons were weaker and characters leveled up far slower. And you couldn't just hold down a speed-up button and grind levels for free on autopilot at a ridiculous pace while watching Netflix.

Not to mention Zodiac age lets every character be TWICE as powerful as they could in the already easy original IZJS, without the enemies being buffed up to compensate.

>>385066071
I think he means why did you make him one.

>>385065426
Use quickenings and chain them before he enters his bullshit invincible state

>>385068719

Even with every character maxed in the original game it took hours to beat most endgame bosses, Zodiac Age is a joke where you can kill most of said bosses literally before they can act.

>weak to a random element
>all other elements heal him
such fucking shitty design considering there is no way to find out which element he is weak to besides trial and error

>>385065426
Whittle him down to about a little above 1/3 health. Then use a long quickening chain. If done right he will be dead or close to it. Otherwise just use "drain" or other non elemental spells.

>>385068762
You act as if I didn't put a rubberband on my controller and went to my morning college classes while the gambits grinded for me, only to come back to a level 99 party.

>>385065426

>>385068762

funny considering how I left my game on overnight with rubberbands and tape on the sticks and wound up max leveled by the next morning and had enough LP to buy nearly the whole board.

>>385070014

This is the one remaster they actually seem to have put some level of effort into.

>>385071880
But the entire game is already there.
All they do is add a couple new stuff. Sometimes not even that.
Its not like they are making an entire new game.

>>385072316
>Its not like they are making an entire new game.
That's called a remake, this is a remaster

>>385072605

Sorry for using the "game plays itself" feature for the only fucking thing it's useful for.

>>385072605
>cheater
how is it any different than using the fast forward option during normal gameplay in the Zodiac Age version?

Maybe if the game was less of a tedious piece of shit that played itself people wouldn't want to do that.

>>385071880
>>added a 4x fast forward

They did? Fuck.

Kind of cool, but also amusing to see them basically admit that the game's pacing is absolute shit. I remember playing vanilla and at the 120 hour mark I still felt like the game was just starting and I had accomplished nothing yet. That was not a good feeling.

>>385073165
Actually, it's the 2x speed that they added, the 4x speed was already in the IZJS. The 2x speed is really nice and useful for navigating certain parts in maps and dungeons where the 4x makes it too hard to navigate. Almost makes it so you never need to be at 1x speed.

>>385068762
But the game is legitimately not that good. The streamlines make it closer to a good FF game.

>>385073079
>the game is tedious
>even though gambits literally eliminate tedium
Jesus christ, how can you even play older FFs where you're interrupted by random battles every minute and are forced to hold down attack to get through a battle with enemies that present no challenge whatsoever and a victory screen to show you something you don't even look at so that you can progress for a few more steps before you're interrupted again?

>>385074447
>gambits literally eliminate tedium
Just because you don't have to push any buttons anymore doesn't make the game any less of a tedious slow paced slog.

All it does is make it less of a video game because you can set it up to where you don't even have to touch the controller anymore. They don't make the game more fun, they just make it so you don't even have to play it.

>>385068719

IZJS and TZA are markedly easier than the original release. People who meme about how strict classes make it more balanced only expose themselves as underage retards.

You also don't have to be pushing buttons all the time for something to be a game. You can spend most of your time thinking about a system and that be the fun part of it. Tedium should be minimized unless you find yourself rewarded by its tasks. Maybe you'd prefer action games.

All the changes were carried over from IZJS. All the "remaster" really did was update the rendering engine, add an option to choose a second class, and pass all the textures through a shitty bump map filter.

>>385078385
Adding a second job is a pretty big change that makes the game less stifling and gives more variety when playing and building characters.

>>385068762
You can't really get twice as powerful, duplicated grid entries will be already locked out in the 2nd board.

>>385071880
>retooled the game mechanics to be better and give a different experience
That was from International Zodiac System, and all it really did was rebalance the weapons and remove the damage cap.

>>385065738

And a lot of people paid upwards of $50 for it. SE fanboys are retarded.

>>385077491
not that guy, but I made it insanely hard on myself by forcing myself to use all 6 party members and keeping grinding to a bare minimum.

I remember when I first got to Phon Coast my party was so desperately underleveled that I had no choice but to Phoenix run to the hunter's camp

it's very easy to make the game hard but it's also incredibly easy to make the game easy

I remember him being pretty easy back in the original, hope they didn't change 'em. I got the game yesterday and been playing non-stop.

Real question though, is it possible to fuck up a character choosing a certain Job? I got Vaan as a Bushi, Balthier a Machinist, Fran an archer, and Basch a Knight. No idea what I made Penelo, just know she can use Crossbows now. I'm about to use the aerodome and head over to Belgium mines or somewhere to rescue a certain female.

In the original you could just make a party of self healing warrior juggernauts that could pretty much yolo everything.
The only think that saved the original from being absurdly broken was the spell queue and the damage cap.

>>385079736

>>385079736
>no skypirate's den

WHAT? No way they can't have been THAT stupid.

>>385079736
Voice quality has indeed improved though. People sounded like they recorded their lines on bad microphones in the original due to sound compression. The audio is been cleaned up dramatically in the HD rerelease.

No Sky Pirate's Den does suck though. I know it's redundant with Trophies around, but it was still a cool little thing to have.

>>385080316
It sounds the same anon.

>>385080316

>>385080396
>>385080630
>>385080316
>>385079736
I think they did indeed try to touch up the voice quality but it is still pretty bad. One line that always struck me as funny (do to the amount of times I had to listen to it because of dying) was Fran's line when fighting demon wall
"The wall cometh. We must be quick. Together we can bring it down". The audio on it always was really bad and combined with her voice it always made me chuckle. It didn't sound AS bad this time around. But voices are still pretty fucked up. Sounds like I am in the recording studio listening to them reading lines.

Are you referring to the Effect Capacity? The thing that stops me from using Flare and Holy at the same time? I always hated it and how it made a WHM/BLM comp weak, but come on, it was an important balance tool. Don't tell me it's gone

Do people actually have trouble with this game? Your only excuse for most of the main game is just after the first time you go through the sandseas, assuming you don't use the spoonfed item that neuters that boss. Maybe it's just bias because I've beaten it 7 times and know all the patterns, I guess, it just feels kind of ridiculous that people can actually die to shit in this game, especially on a version that has most of the added effect of extra nodes from the first version AND the damage cap removal from the second AND no spell queue to bottleneck your output by a fuckload.

I killed Yiazmat in the original FF12 with one of my party members using a high end gun with dark shot because it was one of the only dark element equips I had and everything else didn't do nearly enough damage so they're pretty good if you have the matching ammunition. I gave Fran a gun with silence shot and she keeps most monsters from fucking me with spells (REALLY helped out in this fight, pic related.)

Best way they could think to balance. The divisor in the damage formula for axes and hammers is 128 vs. 256 for every other weapon (barring speed weaps), so at the same attack values, axes and hammers hit way harder without the added randomness.

As long as you pay attention to elements, or at the very least if something is susceptible to oil or not, guns will usually keep pace.

>>385083071
is that a real bug?

>>385082384
guns are a great combo for white mage because they don't require stats to do great damage.

just make sure you use the correct elemental shot half the time and you'll roast shit.

>>385083209
Not a bug you can just crash the game because it's too fast to compute.

>>385082057
I legitimately believe Cerobi Steppe was designed to be RNG abused. It makes no sense otherwise.

>>385083353
Half the time you don't even need to worry about elements as opposed to does it resist fire since oil is busted.

There's no major benefits waiting for the PC version would have is there? FFX remaster took like 2 years before it hit PC (1 if you only count after the PS4 version hit apparently) but if it's not even announced to be coming to PC yet it's probably not going to happen for awhile I'm guessing.

>>385083660
Didn't this version reduce the number of rooms you need to move away before a chest respawns, too? Probably would make that ultimate shield in the penumbra easier to get than the 15 hours it took me, at least slightly, might be able to knock it down to 5 hours.

Trial mode also breaks everything.

>have karkata, wyrmhero blade, excalibur, ribbon, bubble belt and a ton of other shit and not even to Mt Bur-Omisace yet
>any time I actually make story progress the bosses eat shit in a couple attacks

My average party level is still only like mid thirties, I'm not exactly overleveled or anything.

If you think ambient occlusion and some gameplay changes are worth 50€ you are responsible for everything wrong in this generation of gaming.

im level 42 and i haven't got Penelo yet. I guess im autistic but grinding the saurian, werewolves and zertinan caverns for plenty of exp with a single character is pretty easy.

It also removed the spell effect queue, which is actually a pretty big thing especially if you like mages.

They put in the 4x speed so the optional bosses don't take like 2 hours to beat, right?

>>385096637

Where do you grind cash for phoenix downs at that point?

>>385074617
But IZJS was limited with it's classes. Hope you like pressing nothing but Attack for Foebreaker (whatever it was called before), Monk, Knight, and Samurai. Though at least Monk gets curaja.

>>385097070
wolves, only thing is i swear in the original you could get them the instant you go to nalbina not after the sunstone

The fast forward option makes the game playable, though.

Is there a cheesy way to farm the shield from ultima chest like in ps2 version?
also how to do the 86 floor in trial mode before you get mobbed down?

How do you change party order? I want to put my leader at the top at all times

>>385098036
IZJS already had that. It's not some amazing new feature that they put any effort into.

>>385098364
The Zodiac Escutcheon chest in Barheim was removed in IZJS. So was the stupid Zodiac Spear condition of not opening certain chests. Both can be obtained in other ways instead.

So my current party is:

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

I kinda wanted to go with canon jobs to see how well it fares against the later marks and trial mode, but I'm realizing that I made 2 big mistakes.
1. Basch is slow as fuck since without espers he only has 1 swiftness. I haven't gotten the espers to give him the last 2 yet, and since I don't know what they unlock on other boards, I'm not even sure if he'll get them.

2. I really really fucked up by making my white mage and black mage one person. Magic is was stronger than I thought and I can't heal and do decent magic damage at the same time now.

It's a good thing I made a backup save when you get to choose a job for Vaan. I'll change some things around next time. Any ideas for jobs for my second run?

>>385065426
Enjoying your first playthrough? Why is the font so big and ugly?

>>385065738
I just wanted a Vita version. That's all I wanted.

>>385068762
You realize Quickenings didn't have a damage cap while stacked together?
Maybe each single attack was limited to 9999 max but otherwise theyd go higher.

Literally just revive.

What are your party builds, /v/?

Vaan - Bushi/Red Battlemage
Balthier - Shikari/Monk
Fran - Archer/Foebreaker
Basch - Knight/Foebreaker
Ashe - Black Mage/Red Battlemage

Why did they change Hunter to Shikari?

Seems like a pretty useless weebification that will only confuse people.

Vaan - Bushi/Red Battlemage
Balthier - Shikari/Foe Breaker
Fran - Time Mage/Uhlan
Basch - Knight/Archer

me and you both, brother. me and you both.

Now that Quickenings don't double/triple your MP, is there any reason not to spam them?

>>385100265

Is this another wrong person that thinks they're the same?

>>385096837
Pay attention to what you're buying and where, m80. There's no way that it was anybody's fault but your own.

I'm playing the PS2 IZJS version. I'm 2 hours in, when exactly can you expect challenging fights?

>>385071880
>unlike Kingdom Hearts
nah bitch

>>385102535
Never, you're playing the easymodo version so you're always going to be drastically overpowered.

A couple of optional fights at the very end may still be somewhat tricky, but face it if you want the game as a whole to be a challenge you shouldn't be playing the babby version.

>>385073870
I can consistently kill them now but they aren't dropping the fucking scales for the Mithuna reee

FF XII > FF XV

>>385102667
But the original doesn't have the zodiac job system. I would assume it makes the gameplay more focused when each character is tied to a certain playstyle, so I guess that's what I'm sticking with

Anyone have a link to a bestiary list?

Trying to work on that trophy.

Spent the last few days hunting down rare monsters.

>>385065426
I managed to beat him with spamming the drain skill as it actually damages him at the last stretch of health and keeping my two only drain-mages at that point in the game alive with using the revive technique that revives to full health by sacrificing the users HP

>>385083660
It's designed to be a place to get repeats of stuff if you're an autist and want to.

>>385083838
Yeah just one screen away. But in Pharos you have the Trango Tower, the Gendarme is where Ultima was if I remember correctly. Then Seitengrat on the airship deck from Rabanastre to Nalbina.

>>385065426
I just spammed Quickenings like a boss.

>>385102264

Because it and Uhlan aren't exactly the same as their counterparts from other games.

I assume the red and time mages got turned into Battlemage because of being more suited for physical combat/more HP licenses too

>>385082342
You literally activate the pedestals on one side, go activate the pedestal further in on that side. Activate the pedestals on the other side, activate the pedestal further in on that side. Close the sluice gates so the middle part has no water and go there. It's much simpler than it looks it you pay some attention. Now for the Crystal.. just use a map. They designed that area so you'd have to draw a map, like old games but fuck if anyone's got time for that nowadays.

>>385083462
I've been using chocobos and this has never happened to me. I'm using a pro, maybe that's why.

The treasure chests no longer reflect the game, so ignore those.

Yeah, not spamming them. This is the type of game that is what you make of it. If you like quickenings use them, if you don't like them don't use them. Same for summons, magic, guns..

Izjs is definitely better than vanilla, don't listen to retards. For challenge do marks as soon as they become available. They should have allowed weak mode from the get go.

It doesn't take that long if you know what you're after. If you're trying to find them all without help,yes it will take a while.

seems like such an odd thing to make enemy only

>>385103954
Game isn't out in Australia yet I believe.

Probably needs to be Australiacuck approved first to remove all the HIGH IMPACT stuff.

Can you still break the game by making everyone katana wielding healers like the original? i remember that being a invincible enemy smasher.

>>385104198
This actually did annoy me. It I think at a very late stage they realized the spells were too strong against certain enemies like bombs and didn't have the time to rebalance so they just removed them or something.
