This Final Fantasy came just before PS3 was launched. truly a masterpiece, very minimal in the lovey dovey content. very strong in this political essence. and very cultured. i love the gambit system and if you play your cards right, even the final boss is a pushover. the last Final Fantasy that feels like a final fantasy game. they should have remastered this before FF13.

I think it's the easiest to port compared to 8, 9 which is on PS1,
Also it's the last on PS2 that really pushed the PS2 HW to the max

it's much easier to port the assets from PS2 to PS4, compared to the grainy low res asset on PS1

So far on PS4 only FF-0, FF-X/X2 are remastered

the rest of the FF nothing yet, the real "remaster" or "re-imagine" or "reboot" or whatever they called it, is FF7 which we have no idea when it will arrive
FF8 & FF9 will need a "reboot" similar to FF7 to bring it over to PS4
It's original SD texture is just too fugly for full HD doh.gif

anyway, won't be surprised if we see a FF13 remaster appearing soon

Looking forward for this.
The vanilla version is a huge flaw on the lic board.
Everyone is the same as everyone by end game because unlocks of all every lic possible dry.gif
And gambit wasn't useful until get to unlock required gambit

The international zodiac fixed these two issue by limiting boards to 12 jobs and unlock gambit full from start.

One of the best Ivalice world translation aside from FF tactics.

This generation is kind of dissapointing, remaster is everywhere, don't get me wrong, but it seems like game developers are running out of idea and trying to squeeze money by remastering the old legendary title instead of creating new 'legendary'

never played FF12 before, remastered titles as such is a good thing for me or rather, people like me. so win for us i guess. for an example, if TLOU was never remastered, i would not have the chance to play given that i do not have a ps3 now.

The pre-order page for the Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age Limited Edition Steelbook is now live on Amazon for $49.99 (the same price as the Standard Edition). While we don't know quite yet what the steelbook actually looks like, there is an FFXII panel at 1:30 pm eastern time at PAX East where we might expect to see it revealed.

The listing suggests that the original soundtrack for the game won't be included as default as in Final Fantasy X's HD Remaster, but instead will be unlockable, and possibly DLC. The Amazon listing mentions the inclusion of "a digital code to unlock the original soundtrack background music option in-game". This woud be similar to how Japanese voices were available as dlc for World of Final Fantasy, but were included in limited editions of that game.

Some more details about the remaster from the listing:

    Includes the game, an exclusive steel book featuring artwork by renowned illustrator Akihiko Yoshida, and a digital code to unlock the original soundtrack background music option in-game.
    Enhanced gameplay features: Zodiac Job System - Improved leveling system that caters to the player's preference; Trial Mode - Take on monsters and enemies in up to 100 consecutive battles; Speed Mode
    Latest-generation HD graphical capabilities, including characters and movie scenes fully remastered in high definition
    True 7.1 surround sound, including high definition voicing and newly recorded background music utilizing the current generation of sound production
    Modern advancements including PlayStation4 trophy support and share functionalities, auto-save and shortened loading times.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age releases for PS4 on July 11.
Update

At their PAX East panel, Square Enix unveiled the contents of the Limited Edition Steelbook edition as well as the Square Enix Online Store exclusive Collector's Edition for The Zodiac Age. The Collector's Edition is priced at $199.99/€199.99

I don't get the limited ed background music dlc. Is it we get to play the ost in the title screen menu? then the digital ver 4 track music are downloaded as mp3?

I will get ps4 to play this game coz my ps2 broke before i get to finish it. Now its the chance for me to finish my ff12 journey XD. Don't know whether I should preorder now or wait until it released. Normally the preorder bonus will be included when the game is released right?

There's a few pros and cons between vanilla and zodiac version of the game. Biggest con is they remove the damage limit in the zodiac version. In some way bosses are easy. There's also an op range weapon with attack power of 250. Good thing is the trial mode. FFXII have one of the hardest boss fight in all of the series. It's. The final trial stage which is the 5 judges. (reverse gambit strategy will not work). Even tho I have play a patch version of FFXII zodiac age, I'll still buy this just for the HD remastered. Good game to play.

Square Enix Japan has posted more screenshots for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, as well as revealing new additions to the remaster that were not present in the International PlayStation 2 version.

Most notably, it is now possible to have a character set with two job classes simultaneously, instead of just one in the International version. Once a character unlocks "L Board Plus" on the License Board, they can then select a second job to complement their abilities. Different combinations of jobs are certain to have some interesting results.

Another small but useful addition is that of a real time transparent map, which can be pulled up to the user interface when exploring the field.

Finally, in addition to redone music from the original game, 8 new tracks will be added to remaster including both boss and field music.

This is definitely not a remake. Just a remaster with additional features and balance tweaks compared to the original International Version. The revised Zodiac Job System will be an interesting one.

Oh well, I'll wait for the price to drop just like the ff10 remaster.

Well, the speed Turbo sounds useful.
Most of us don't have that much time to play rpg vs 10 years ago.

I hope they cut the general loading time by more than 50% as well. Or even more with the pro.

Even then. I'll probably get it next year when they slash the price. Haha.

then why bother posting here?

On another note, I also played FF12 International Zodiac Job System before in PS2 emulator (fan patched to English). Seems like for this PS4 version, each character can have 2 jobs now?  hmm.gif

Apparently, only japanese copy can play all jobs as far as i know.

Digital version got bonus content(change BGM ingame) but not for physical.

there are alot changes in this game.. its not just a remaster  rclxms.gif

Technically it's still a remaster.
A remake is like ratchet and clank or crash bandicoot.
Where a completely new game engine was used and all textures/models are remade.

still remember last time, few days playing the games, read some faqs, realised that I opened some chest that I'm not supposed to open, hence missing out one of the most powerful weapon in the game
rage quit till now laugh.gif

So i heard they "fixed" this time, but still kinda pricey for me, gotta wait till there's a heavy discount for it

I wonder why heavyarms stated 21 July though. I mean sure usually our country get copy 2 or 3 days after release but 21 seems too far off.

Played the game for quite a while tonight

A very solid remaster so far , things still look very fresh even compare to the original FF12 running on emulators . The lightings look dramatically different(and better imho) beside the obvious texture upgrades .

Doesn't look like it does much for the PS4 pro though , FPS too is locked at 30 but very stable so far.

Love the new job system , one of my dislikes of the original game was everyone end up to be identical in skill builds towards the endgame . Now you can choose 2 unique jobs where you have way more to plan and give each character a unique purpose .

The trial mode from FF12 International make it in the game as well , so one more reason to play it if you haven't played the FF12IZJS ver. And remember those annoying condition to fulfill before you can summon the Espers , they are now fully controllable biggrin.gif

Must-buy imo if you were a fan of the ff12.

Played the game yesterday night for an hour. The details are indeed much better than the PS2 version. The atmosphere is quite enjoyable. And I still enjoy the story even though I finished it during the PS2 era.

Haven't tried the Trial mode yet, but watch the review and it was given well review.

For a game that cost RM200, I'm willing to get it for the new orchestra music, trial mode, and most of all, new job implement!!!

I think for now they are heavily concentrated in FF7 Remake and FFXV DLC (ignis). And maybe other additional stuff for FFXV.

Anyone can suggest me which job should I choose for Vaan? Last night was just released Chinese version. I was struggled for few minutes to think which job should I choose. However, I have no idea about this. So in the end I was chose Knight. Prima games did recommend Vaan to choose knight too but the problem is if I chose Knight, then how about Basch? Many people said that Acher job is weak and useless. So tonight I will back home to replay this game again, then I will consider to choose Bushi for Vaan. So can let Ashe choose either Monk or Time Battlemage. Then let Basch to bacome a Knight.

Apparently these are pretty popular combination

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

It is said that these are pretty optimal & the closest to the character's canon job with the first 3 being OP combination.

For me its worth. ( Because I'm FF Fans haha )

But due to its content and whole new job mechanism, i would say its kinda ok to have it for RM200+. After all, there is not much of exciting games release recently. Not until August when the Unchartered released.

Played many years ago on the PS2 and now I'm playing it on PS4 after so many years. laugh.gif Personally, it's one (if not the best) of the Final Fantasy series. Currently at 5hrs 28mins mark at Level 14.

I've chosen Knight for Vaan. I'm not sure if it's a good choice. sweat.gif

This is a more diversified party combination , assuming you are planning to use every char and every class to their fullest.
Not to mention they also don't conflict with the summons . Each of them serve a purpose and do extremely well in their roles .




Balthier: Foebreaker/Shikari - Zalera
( No explanation required , Very OP & breaks the game , your genji glove user #1)

Ashe: White Mage/Machinist - Famfrit
( A healer with huge HP Tank and Hastega + 3 x swiftness , decent damage from guns when she's free, what else do you want from a healer ) ?

Vaan: Bushi/Knight - Mateus, Hashmal, Ultima, Exodus
( Another very OP combo with Katana , maximizing the output from Mag / Str , genji glove user #2)

Penelo: Black Mage/Monk - Chaos
( Access to very high end White magics as well , coupled with a lot of HP and swiftness , the best magic caster )

Basch: Time Mage/Uhlan - Zeromus, Adrammelech
( Time Mage by itself , is already an awesome class . Very versatile , from dealing damage at the frontline to providing utilities for the party )

Fran: Red Mage/Archer - Shemhezai, Cuchulainn, Zodiark
(Burning bow to boost the Red Mage 's Ador , with 3 x swiftness and item lores , the most efficient Jack of all trades in the game)



Things to pay attention to :

Male characters have more effective attack animation in the game and since you get 2 genji gloves , make sure both of the wearers are male.

You can now spam magics whenever you want , in the old FF12 when you cast very strong magic, you have to wait for the animation to finish before the next one can take place , now they happen simultaneously ! No more spell - queuing

They are made available by the Esper nodes , which is why it is important to have job diversity to avoid overlapping as you don't want them fighting for the same Esper nodes .

Different job gets different unlocking bonuses , for eg : Mateus Unlock Curage , Regen , Esuna and cleanse for your Knight , effectively turning him/her into a Paladin however jobs like Red Mage gets nothing from her.

Games release in the Asia ( R3 ) tend to have different versions , like Persona 5 too have a a Eng / JP and Chinese /JP ver , the trend has continue for a long while.


Also mostly because they have different release dates , the fact that Chinese / JP has the same release date as the Japanese version , which is 2 days later.

I think you have spent too much time training from the start ( which can be good and bad )
Good things are your characters are evenly leveled so you can switch them in and out without having to worry about the stats gap too much .

In this version of FF12 , a lot of the contents are gated. For eg : You can no longer get your Zodiac Spears early , ( the weapon is also nerfed ) , You can't get demonsbane from defeating both demonwalls as well , the dragon mail and several powerful items have also been removed from Barleim passages. You can still get Deathbringer , but its attack power has also been tuned down.

The developers clearly do not want you to get overly powerful before you reach certain points in the game.

So you can grind all the exp You want , unlock all the abilities early , but you still won't have most of the gears or to learn the powerful techniques and spells until very late game. Of course these are merely recommendation , if you enjoy exploring the massive world around FF12 who is there to deny your rights to do so ?

Yeah, I try to swap them around so that the levels are pretty much the same.

Here's my LP balance. I think it'll be enough for all the things on the License Board. I just realised that I have two Time Battlemages. sweat.gif Should get one White Mage instead. Guess, I'm a bit screwed there.

Wow you guys sure are fast... I'm still having my own sweet time in the very beginning where penelope join the group to look for sunstone. I'm a kind of person who wants 100% complete. ( Getting all key treasures ) But problem for me now is, I always scout the entire map first before proceeding to another map, though I know those treasure will respawn anyway.

There is a walkthrough guideline in youtube that is quite useful. Not applying any licenses until specified time to become master save. So later if I suddenly want to play other licenses, I do not need to replay it all over again.

Party members are way too high level for its current content . The mobs can barely scratch them. I had originally reached the end game at around level 40 ish.



Personally I wouldn't recommend anyone doing this , because unlike the old FF12 they have put in a lot of restriction for people to farm overpower gears from the start.
If you check the loot table for IZJS , a lot of powerful weapons / armors have also been removed as well , such as all-famous Barleim Passages farm


Later in the game once you start getting your Double EXP and Double AP amulet , you can get lvl 99 and max out every ability from 2 jobs in an hour.

How do you survive without healer?
As of writing, it's almost Level 47 for all characters. Most probably will hit Level 50 by this weekend. I don't have much time for gaming during weekdays because of commitments and stuff. Well, I survive through old school grinding. laugh.gif Oh ya, come to think about it, I don't have any healer. sweat.gif I really need an Archer and White Mage.

I've maxed out all of the characters License Board. Nothing much. Anyway, one question though. Which one better to be equipped?

Thief's Cuffs: Enables the theft of superior and rare items.

OR

Diamond Armlet: Search the deepest recesses of chests, coffers, and the like. This item has immune: Lightning.

Wow you guys sure are fast... I'm still having my own sweet time in the very beginning where penelope join the group to look for sunstone. I'm a kind of person who wants 100% complete. ( Getting all key treasures ) But problem for me now is, I always scout the entire map first before proceeding to another map, though I know those treasure will respawn anyway.

There is a walkthrough guideline in youtube that is quite useful. Not applying any licenses until specified time to become master save. So later if I suddenly want to play other licenses, I do not need to replay it all over again.

The game is a nightmare for completionist . Aiming to get all the treasures and the " best " weapons are just futile .
Some of the "best" weapons have less than 0.0001% spawn , translating into gameplay time you would roughly need to spend 5000 hours ( 1000 hours + on 4 x ) to obtain it .

If it was your favorite game , what's wrong with spending another 200 for it ? This isn't a simple remaster , some of the textures were remade from scraps , they weren't just a simple upscale. The addition of 2 new job system give a whole new level of depth to the world , beside the revamps and addition of the NEW Utimate Weapons in the game , not to mention they have gone as far as to rearrange all the treasures location , which means most of your old FF12 guides and treasure map can't be used for this edition as well.

Yes , very lucky . There are also all sorts of youtube videos claim to have 100% of getting this but most r trollings and myth.

Again most people are skipping it because the weapon does not even has a model . It hits on things before you can even see them and kill them INSTANTLY
The bow also made bosses and elites in this game completely trivial and destroy the purpose of playing the game.

The addition of new ultimate weapons ( like Mesa and Kumbha ) and dual jobs have already made the game very easy.

There are quite a few pairs in the game , but if we are talking about the earliest you can get them .

You don't really need to worry much about gambits until you have obtained dual jobs . But heres a few good one

Ally - Any - > Esuna ( Attempt to cure any status abnormal treatable by Esuna ) , if there is nothing you can cure , they will not cast it

Foe - weak to X Element - X magic ( Use Magic X when enemies with weakness detected )
Foe - Vulnerable to X Element - X magic ( Spam X magic to any enemies around as long as they are not immune to X )


But the real question is , why did the AI keep using your Phoenix downs ? Is your character dying constantly ?
If death is not evitable , you can tell your Knight and White Mage to use the "Raise" spell instead

Vann is going to have to fight with Balthier later in the game for Bushi & Esper nodes



Vann should rightfully be Knight / Bushi ( Samurai ) He also has the most balance stats growth in the game , which makes him optimal for the best role.
Towards the endgame now , I can confidently say they are the most insane, super powerful , almighty Tank / DPS/ Healer that can do everything .
They are no Jack of all trades, they are King of all trades


Huge Magic Power ( Reaching 99 without problem )

Huge Attack Power ( 99 without much problems with Mystic armors )

Male ( Genji Glove nominees )

Capable of Healing ( Very good at that )

Learn the highest tier of heal spells ( Curaja & Esuna ) and buff spells ( Faith & Bravery )

Can Use Katana ( Katanas are buffed in this game , The ultimate Katana - Kumbha is no longer a Katana , but a 1 hand sword except it retains the same dmg Formula as Katana . That means you can wear a Shield now when using the new, revamped version of Masamune , how do you like that 85% Combo rate ? )

Tanky ( Huge HP growth + Wearing the OP Shields , 80% Evasion )



Get him White Robe ( Increase all Holy output by 50%) + Excalibur later , since so many things are weak to holy Endgame, he is basically an unstoppable cheating machine that chop everything at 40k dmg / hit , the same as the cheating Seitengrat bow except he is much more capable .

Foebreaker most optimal set up is with Shikari as they compliment each others perfectly . Shikari can use ninja swords , however they do not get any nodes that unlock genji gloves . Foebreaker give them the Genji wearing node and 4 breaks abilities ( - def - mag - atk )

The breaks abilities are extremely useful because bosses are no longer immune to them now .
With Genji Gloves , they can effectively get up to 90%+ combo rate towards the end of the game.


Also note that in the previous game versions , Ninja swords were all dark elemental , severely limiting their usefulness since quite a few enemies absorb dark elements.
But in this version their dark elements were removed ( except the Yagyublade ). The best Ninja sword ( Mesa ) is non elemental.


Here comes the problem , you have already made Vann a Shikari, which means you will have 2 Shikari if you plan to make your Balthier a Shikari/breaker( which you should )
One of them is going to have to skip the esper nodes like + 500 HP and possibly a few other passives as well.


Of course you can explore other possibilities , but their synergy won't be as strong as this one.

Basch - Archer / Shikari
Ashe - Uhlan / Bushi

I didn't put much thoughts in for selecting their second job. sweat.gif I think should be OK.

The whole point of dual jobs , is so they can cover up each other's weakness

For Eg , Knight has very high STR (from the passives ) , wearing Heavy Armors , they also learn healing abilities , but their major problem is that their Mag is too low and they r too slow, which hinder their healing efficiency by a lot.

And to fix that we pair him with Samurai or Time Mage .
Time mage give Knight 3 x swiftness passive and MAG growth passives with supporting abilities .
Samurai gives Knight the abilities to use Mystic armors which boost his Mag to the point it rivals Black Mage.




The Knight / Monk combos both learn healing abilities eventually , they basically gain nothing from each others. And to top it off , you need to give them 5 exclusive Espers , all that to make him slightly less useful White Mage .

Archer with Shikari , both of them are very fast job and neither of them r capable of using great armors , they also gain nothing much from each others.


With that being said , the IZJS ver was designed so these Single Jobs can solo the game ,you are still more than capable to beat it
The difference being , you will see 9999 flying out from your attackers instead of 40000s like the combo i mentioned above .

I saw that you picked , Shikari / Bushi , the complete Yiazmat Destroyer .

Bushi lets Shikari wear Black Robe and get a big boost of Yagyu Darkblade's damage, which is the Bane of Yiazmat
( The weak-to-darkness boss with infamous 50 millions Health to chew down )
Although the strongest Ninja weapon in this version of FF12 is Mesa , a non elemental Ninja blades that has a whooping 35% combo rate
As for the rest of the game, he is not as strong as Shikari / Breaker but it works.

Monk / Black is amazing


Machinist / Red Mage can work , but Archer / Red Mage is better , especially if you plan to make them cast some spells.


Knight / Archer is fine too , they get a range weapon plus 3 x swiftness but if you want them to heal the combo with time mage or bushi is better


White Mage / Time mage is not a very optimal combo , because White Mage learns the highest tier of Time Spells like Hastega too from Machinist , which is a much more versatile combo


White Mage / Breaker = ???

I f*cked something up while choosing the jobs for my characters. Oh well, it's a bit too late for me now. As of now, I've no problem with the enemies (even without Seitengrat). Levels > Weapons/Shields/Magiks laugh.gif Hopefully will get through all of it in one piece.

Since I've maxed out the LP (and I have more than 10,000 LP balance), there's only one thing to be maxed out which is the level of my characters (currently at around Level 60). Now it's like taking forever just to level one up and it's only Level 60++. Imagine how long it takes to grind until Level 99. sweat.gif

won't vomit lah, 4x speed for leveling. If travel sick only for certain people but for me is won't. Usually I'm in 2x speed during playing main story. Then change to 4x speed during leveling.

I dont understand why do you need to cheat , as this version of the game has already been very easy with some tactical choices confused.gif

What's the point of even playing it ? 99 millions gil and you farm that in 40 hours ? really ? doh.gif
Where's the gaming spirit bro ?

How on earth you get to Level 87 and the sum of 99,913,912 Gils with only 39 hours++ played (270,080 steps)? shocking.gif

I only get to Level 59 with a pathetic sum of 193,599 Gils with 63 hours++ played (836,013 steps). sweat.gif I feel sad now.

He cheats la dude he said earlier he changed the job combo because he wasn't happy with what he did previously.

You think it's easy to hit that high level? Last time in the PS2 days i also farm for hundreds of hours to get to level 99. IIRC i spent around 130++ hours to reach that milestone.

You need to reach a certain clan level to be able to purchase the accessories at the clan's merchant. Be warn it cost ALOT of gils. You might be able to buy 1 at 1st, but keep grinding and eventually try to buy 6 for each party member.

Best Tips for my 3rd Playthrough of FF12
-----------------------------------------------------------

Leveling Spot
--------------------
Lushu Mine, Chaining Bones. (Valid till LV40)
Feywood, Mirror Knight (Valid till LV60)
Nabreus Deadland - Chaining Dead Bones. ( Valid til LV80+ )
both EXP, and Gil


Rare Game Trophy, Hunt Game
-----------------------------------
Very Important. These Rare Game Trophy Monster will no LONGER SPAWN after KILLED. Some of them Carry very important loots for Bazaar, or Very good Equipment.
Some loot like Damalcus Steel, can be easily steal from a Rare Trophy. After you steal, run 2 map, re-spawn the Rare Trophy, steal again. Just DONT KILL IT

My Gambit Setup for Repeat Stealing on Rare Trophy Mobs=

Thief Char
1st - 4th slotPhoenix Down, Blind, Remedy, Hi-PotionAlly AnyItem Cure is still best compare Magic cure, faster. and it free the hand of Spellcaster
5th Foe : HP > 50,000 Steal So when you jumping around map, he wont steal every mobs
6th Foe : Any Attack So, normal mob, he will attack

* So it will always steal 1st before attack. if non of the enemy on screen is >50,000, he will attack.
* Set to > 10,000 if the Trophy Monster is below 50k


WORST Job Combination
---------------------------

Any Mage + Any MageWorst in Game
I have a whitemage that constantly run out of Gambit Slot. But i have a Blackmage NEVER have enough Gambit Slot
Match 2 Mages DOESNT GET YOUR MAGE Stronger. because the License BOARD Over Lapping TOO MUCH

Any Mage + Ranged ClassBAD IDEA
Why?
Sharing Same Advantage, Sharing Same Disadvantage
Mage do Range Attack. Ranged Class do Range Attack
Mage LOW HP, Range Class LOW HP
Mage No Heavy Armor (except TIME), Archer No Heavy Armor.

Knight + UhlanMeaningless
Uhlan for Zodiark Spear.
Knight for Best Sword + Best Shield.
You Combined this 2 Job, you still only can choose 1.

Uhlan lack of Speed.
Knight need more Battlelore.

Gambit Tips
---------------
Atk Mage
0 Self : Silence Echo Herbs Top, if silence, you are no different than dead
1 Foe Status : Reflect Attack Prevent Instant Die when fighting reflecting Mobs
2 Ally HP < 10% or 20% Curaga put it 10% so, it wont trigger that easy, but IF Trigger, means you need to save it before atk. Maybe healer is out of hand.
3 Foe : Fire Weak Firaga/Ardor
4 Foe : Thunder Weak Thundega
5 Foe : Ice Weak Blizzaraga
6 Foe : Holy Weak Curaga
7 Foe : Fire Vulnerable Firaga *If non of above meet, just hit with Fire, if fire vulnerable
8 Ally HP < 100% Cure I always keep 100% HP if possible, see tips below
9 Self MP < 20% Charge dont set it too high, you will stuck charging.
Explanation
Fire Weak = Extra dmg with Fire
Fire Vulnarable = Can be dmg with Fire
So, setting 3 Gambit to Maximize Elemental Dmg, top Any atk gambit. Check for Elemental Weakness 1st.
But if no weakness found?
Hit with Fire,Ice you choose.
KEEP PARTY HP 100%.
It Boost alot Dmg and MATK. there is a license with FULL HP Boost Atk, it make my mage instant KO most thing


Attacker
0 Ally : KO Phoenix Down Top, i prefer item resurrect over magic, it FAST
1 Ally : Any Nu Ca Sand Deadly status. It Worth to give up atk but to handle it
2 Ally : Any Blind No point to cont attack without curing it
3 Foe HP < 10% Poach So it will poach it not atk it
4 Foe = Flying Telekinesis, Bonecrusher So they can hurt the flying mobs
5 Foe = Any Prefer Any over nearest. So it wont keep switching target
Explanation
Why Not Task Healer with Status Remove?
Incompetent. Healer have Curaja in top action priority. So they mostly busy healing, and they wont remove status for you.

Why Not Task Mage with Status Remove?
UnOptimized. Mage are VERY VERY HIGH DPS. Task them clear STATUS = make them LESS Casting = Party DO LESS DMG

Why TASK MELEE with Status Remove?
Item Status Remove is Faster. Guaranteed (no not enough MP issue). Melee ATK have high HP, always last standing, they always the last stand to revive entire party. they NOT Effective IN HEALING OR DEALING DMG. they are best TASK with these job to Free The HAND OF HEALER and CASTER

Currently, have 2 Ribbons and looking for another one. Anyway, the longer I'm in the game, the longer I feel some of the classes are utter rubbish.

Nabreus Deadland? Oh, I just kill everything. laugh.gif I think I'm on Level 65 at the moment.

Anyway, Poison, Sap, Stone and Petrify are the most annoying ones.

Mage No Heavy Armor (except TIME), Archer No Heavy Armor.
While mostly true , but 2 of the best Magician combos came from pairing White Mage + Machinist & Red Mage + Archer
These cheesy little Mages can do up to 40k dmg with Scathe , Ardor and Holy spamming with the appropriate setups


To put it precisely , the Magic spells in this game have receive a MAJOR Improvement over the old FF12 .

Wall of text ahead , click to read why ( no spoilers )

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «




The Red Mage / Archer combo come in mind , while they are still not as good as a Black Mage/Monk counterpart , they are only good for 1 thing -
the Burning bow ( Amplify all Fire Dmg ) + Ardor

The Ardor + Burning bow allows Red Mage to deal the same dmg as a Scathe , the Ultimate Endgame spell you will be spamming as a Black Mage.
And unlike Scathe , Ardor is fire elemental spell . Which means its damage can be further amplified by casting OIL on enemies /bosses , surpass Scathe in raw Damage.
( Which is also its weakness , watch out for mobs with Fire Immunity )



Now moving onto the White Mage + Machinist combo , beside the great amount of HP nodes and consumable talent ,
the Machinist can learns Hastega , one of the most crucial and important buff for your characters .

This effectively making your White mage the Ultimate Buff Guy in the game , as you do not have to switch over to your Time Mage to buff the party or waste an accessory slot.

Your White Mage can also wield some of the end game Gun like Fomalhaut which can do some decent dmg without getting too close to the enemies .
If your white mage is one of the girls , she will most probably reach 99 MAG in their 70-80s where she no longer need to rely on Rod/Staff to boost her Mag

Which one did you sold? Nebralim, Valeblossom Dew @ Great Serpentine Skin?

I'm pretty sure you can still get the the Barheim key, just that you won't get the best possible reward, that's all.

There's an alternate route to Barheim Passage via Garamsythe Waterway.

Haha I know the feeling I kinda screwed out with the quickening nodes, so I redo the whole game once more. I have already reached the Draklor's Lab when I realized it. Now I am currently at level 40 ish' around the Stillshrine of Miriam quest.

Grats , give yourself a pat on the back , it wasn't easy . I was slacking off on the platinum until a few days ago too. Getting all bestiary and all Quickening scenes probably took the longest.Black Hole was sort of dicey to get .

I didn't realize most of the super rare spawn can be gotten from trial mode and farm them the hard way as well . The trial mode 100th stage is definitely a major challenge added to the game

How to hit Level 100?
*
Getting to level 100 is easy later in the game .


farm 3 x embroidered tippet ( double exp ) for your characters , poach them from Coeurl ( Tchita Uplands )
Get to Hennes mine later stages and farm huge amount of exp from Bats spawned from the junction switch. ( 120k exp every 10-15 seconds )


Small demo from my video :

1) Have at least 2 characters with Curaja learned , set up gambit with > foe > any > Curaja as the top priority .

2) Get the 2 healers characters buffed with Faith .

2) Have your Black mage ready to spam Sleepga on the legion of bats . foe > any > Sleepga as top priority

4) Cast decoy on your most Tanky hero .

5) Clear the bats , move 2 screens away from the function , return to flip the switch again

Eventually when your tank get high enough level to tank the the swarm of bats , you can swap the black mage or have her spam Scathe for even faster clear .
For alternative , have your red mage and other Magician base character spamming Scathe and Ardor w/burning bow is a good way to clear the bats as well




You sound like you are trying to brute force the game thru high levels, levels are not very meaningful in the late game.
If your party composition and gambits weren't setup correctly , the endgame boss like Omega will crush you in a matter of seconds.

Yeah, pretty much on levels. I didn't tinker much with the Gambits and all because I was testing something. Now sitting at Level 80. Here's my equipment:

Vaan
Weapon: Excalibur
Off-hand: -
Helm: Crown of Laurels
Armour: Maximillian
Accessory: Ring of Renewal

Balthier
Weapon: Golden Axe
Off-hand: Gendarme
Helm: Golden Skullcap
Armour: Maximillian
Accessory: Thief's Cuffs (substitute with Ribbon)

Fran
Weapon: Tula
Off-hand: Grand Bolts
Helm: Crown of Laurels
Armour: Maximillian
Accessory: Ribbon

Basch
Weapon: Sagittrius
Off-hand: Artemis Arrows
Helm: Crown of Laurels
Armour: Brave Suit
Accessory: Ribbon

Ashe
Weapon: Karkata (substitute with Vrsabha, with no Gendarme equipped)
Off-hand: Gendarme
Helm: Golden Skullcap
Armour: Maximillian
Accessory: Ribbon

Penelo
Weapon: Wyrmhero Blade
Off-hand: -
Helm: Golden Skullcap
Armour: Glimmering Robes
Accessory: Sage's Ring (maybe I should just give to Balthier instead? I could equip her with Ribbon)

Nothing much but hope to get a better bow and armour, perhaps? Any comments? sweat.gif Penelo's HP is really low, sitting at 4,182HP and 835MP sweat.gif

Oh ya, about the Embroidered Tippet, I only got one but I didn't equip it though. I think it is possible to rake in the levels by just walking around the map and whack, whack, whack away.

Hi, I just got my dark shard in the temple. And I just started to apply my license to each character. May I know which priority elements you assign in the license board?

For example:

Gambit slot > HP > weapon, armor, accesseries > skill?

Say, does anyone know whether the R2 version of the game has the Japanese VO for it? I assume it's identical for all versions but I've heard the R2 version is fully dubbed in English without the option of changing it to Japanese unlike the R1 and R3 versions. Doesn't make sense IMO but a little confirmation will help a lot.

Tested to go one long shot in trial mode and the highest I could get is until Level 72. Illnesses are crazily inflicted even with four characters equipped with Ribbon. I didn't do much on the Gambits. Could that be a reason or the chosen job classes are all wrong?

How to hit Level 100?

LOL i too only able to get till trial 72, but died at that level.

Yeah me too, one the seller in garage sales mentioned the R2 version was fully dubbed in English when one of our forumers enquire about it. Hence why I decided to get some clarification about it.

Well just to be on the safe side i think you should buy the R3 version of the game instead since it does have *both* Japanese and English voiceover.

I think the reason people willing to get R2 version is due to lower price compare to other region ?

Yes, compared to the Rm219 for the R3 version the R2 version only cost around RM160+ to RM180+.

Through thoughtless long shot, Level 86 in the Trial Mode. I didn't do much with it and just ploughed myself through and through. Maybe when I'm in the mood then only go for Level 100.

Ok cleared Yiazmat both in trial mode and normal play, although in trial mode he doesn't have 50 Million hp. Trial # 100 is totally insane!

I'm stuck with the effin' Chocobo race (for Tidus's weapon) and the blitzball tournament to get Wakka's weapon. The rest is OK.

Ffx not hard. I mean I haven't achieved the plat yet, but back in the PS2 era I would have it in my hands already. The biggest obstacle would be your ultimate weapons. That includes riding on chocobo till your ass drops by gravitational pull or bumpy ride. And also your hair loss due to lightning strike.

Dodging those damn lightning strikes are still OK. But the chocobo race...a nightmare. A F**KING NIGHTMARE!

The chocobo race there are a few versions of it where the balloon placements varies, I normally aim for one that I have the most confidence that I can get all balloons at the first run right before entering the Calm Lands as well as overtaking the AI (all in the first run from the get go). As for Blitz Ball, yeah....once you get decent players and a good hang of it, it is actually easy biggrin.gif

Square Enix do have a small studio that makes old school-type JRPG...if i am not mistaken that studio produces "I AM SETSUNA."

I think Square Enix won't do anymore turn based system in FF.
