>FFXII out tomorrow
What the fuck. I thought they were up to XV now.

Also isn't this one filled with nothing but whites? Sounds awesome.

Vanilla liscence board is lowest tier shit and requires no thought. IZJE boards require more thought.

>Get a shipping notification from Amazon
>July 13th
I was waiting for Amazon to give me my ten bucks.

You forgot all the Lizard cock and stuff because Ivalice.

Looking forward to this.

So everyone knows, the second board is in addition to, the same squares that both share will be filled in on the other board so you can use this to get to places that would require a quickening or esper use sometimes. But it won't make you super devastatingly powerful because most lores won't overlap.

>Every single enemy in the game drops 1-2 LPs
>The farther away the skill on the License Board it is, the more it costs
>IZJE takes away most of it
I think you meant Vanilla requires more thought so you don't get stuck grinding this bullshit mechanic.

It requires no thought though. You can do whatever you want and the game is easier than it was in vanilla.

I....can't stop playing this. Im not a JRPG or Final Fantasy player normally but I couldn't put it down all weekend. I even enjoyed Kingsglaive. That attack at the treaty signing was awesome.

Should I play Episode Strong Guy while he's gone in the main story?

pc version when?!

Except your esper and quickening use will lock you out of skills for others. The new board system allows weapons and skills that werent gotten til later and almost never used to have use much much earlier, offering more gameplay choices. More variety with less grinding for it.

Never played FFXII because I've always read the story is mediocre and the main character is garabge. Is this true and should I buy this tomorrow?

But they have Reddas, a badass black pirate.

Story is actually pretty good. Nothing outstanding, but the politics and the message about humanity taking control of their destiny from the gods was pretty interesting after all the romantic schlock seen the last few games before.

Story is pretty good. Middle part sure does fall off with less plot but its alright. Only Penelo and Vaan are "garbage" narrative wise. Not as bad as most autists make them out to be though.

oh no things that never mattered still won't. yes we know the game is easier now.

Hey buddy I think you got the wrong thread. The XV thread is two blocks down.

The story is your basic overthrow the empire that people often mistake for a star wars ripoff. Even if you don't like the main character you can choose who your party leader is and the person people call the main character isn't that prominent after the party is completed.

Ignore the people saying the story is good. It's poorly written and the characters are literally all boring. Fran was the most interesting but she got no screen time at all.

That has almost definitely been said about every single FF game before. Take a look at some gameplay, and if it seems compelling to you, then consider it.

>furries think this would improve the game

The whole game is mediocre. The story is hot garbage. Buy something better. Now that the graphics are nothing special, it has lost a lot of its appeal.

Theres also a hard mode to make up for how its easier. (Was always easy as shit though)

Espers and quickenings are both good now. Quickenings don't take your MP, and Espers can be controlled, as well as have their special attacks activated at your choosing instead of when they are about to leave. So now we get more variation in how your characters play, and more strategy in what squares you pick along with jobs.

The devs cited that there is no "Main Character" and that the game is about a lot of people, but Vaan is kinda meh. It's soundtrack is very strong and it was really visually appealing for it's time. I'm super hyped for this game, having played the everloving shit out of the original. Also Ashe is a qt.

There was always a hard mode you had to unlock it with codes though.

>choose your class
>permanently
dropped

>I can't handle choices with consequence

>Mistake for starwars
Desert land with young youth wanting to leave and rebel against an oppressive empire which is ruled by an iron fist by darth vader like judges. You journey with a dashing rogue and his beastly companion, and a princess to retrieve a magical sword and get attuned to magic to oppose said empire. Its Star Wars 4/5th of the story.

this was one of the few I never played. out of all the final fantasies how would you guys put it on a scale/rate it.

You know what's even better? Holding a direction and auto attacking everything to death at 4 times speed of normal.

It was such a dumb move.

>IZJS editor.
We were talking vs vanilla faggot. Vast majority of people never played it. Besides if you got that you can get Job Switch cheat which is an even better version of the license system not in either.

I wonder if anyone's seen what combinations let you skip what espers yet. All the autists just seem to be focusing on using all 12 jobs at once and what espers each character needs for 99 in str/mag or both

> Vast majority of people never played it.
Nigger you aren't even making sense at this point. No shit, and they still won't play it. Most FF fans played it and didn't like it very much, and far less of the people who have played it will play this version.

The point of that picture was the "weak mode" which was in the base game code already.

Anything I should keep in mind as a first time player or is the game easy enough?

I didn't like it, that's for sure. It doesn't play like a ff game at all, which could be a good thing but in that case it's just mmoesque garbage. The characters are unlikable, and have 0 personnality, you can tell they tried to avoid walking stereotypes or silly overdesign, but ended up having nothing at all.

Post more Fran.

If I make everyone a white mage and I cant get through the game then its objectively bad design and shouldn't be an option. Should've made each character have a set amount of classes to balance things out.

My dicks going to get a hammering.

it's fun

Its a major part of IZJE. You have to unlock it in game. No cheats needed.

There's no more magic queue so mages are better than they used to be. Similarly enemies are more dangerous than they used to be. On ps2 you could often encounter a couple enemies who would all decide to cast spells at once, so you could either cast a spell first and cuck them or just kill them before more than one of them finished the spell animation. Now they'll all blast out at once.

You can though. Why would you think you can't? You're assuming some stupid shit. You can beat the game without any jobs and without leveling up.

it's funny because you could get through the game that way.

Normally or by abusing the mechanics?

>if i get a rocket launcher and i die because i wasted the rockets on trash enemies when i was supposed to save them for the boss, it's not my fault

nigger the first final fantasy let you have a party of four white mages. go play that if you wanna be retarded.

>Fran was the most interesting but she got no screen time at all.
>no screen time at all.

Except that's wrong

>If I make everyone a white mage and I cant get through the game then its objectively bad design and shouldn't be an optio
>if I can't make objectively bad decisions and the game allows me to succeed in spite of them, it's a bad game
Really?

This dick is reason I stopped playing on the ps2.

Inb4 I just now read that he is optional fuck me

normally by being patient

there are shitty classes of course but the game is brain dead easy

look up a 122333 playthrough on IZJS. It's very possible. Never done it personally, but enough people have so I'd assume it can be done normally, and that it's just this game's version of DMC4's "Hell and Hell" mode. ffs people can beat Yiazmat, the game's toughest superboss without leveling up.

As all white mages playing normally, yeah just fine. No license board LLG involves mechanic abuse but no glitches.

Nice argument.

He was a cunt, but I managed to beat him after doing a bit of grinding in Ozmone Plains up to avg level 26, and outfitting everyone with more up to date gear. Just gotta stock up on curatives and keep dealing damage.

you know it

How? I did EVERYTHING there is to do in the game at a pretty slow pace and it still only took me 120ish hours.

At some point you're gonna fight a dude with tons of large swords on a bridge in the Lhusu Mines if you're clearing post-game content, don't forget to Steal a Helm, Armour, Shield and Gloves from him.
Also don't forget to pick up the loot drop from a certain boss in a large annoying dungeon because if you don't pick it up you're shit out of luck of getting a copy of an unique (but meh) weapon.

So I never beat the original. Is it worth it for Ashe?

I missed stealing from "guy" during the first phase of the fight, am I fucked on getting that gear or can I steal it on the second phase? I noticed the steal timings aren't overlapped so I figured I could.

no

Gotta learn to love the environment and wander Salikawood aimlessly. I kinda fell in love with the world as a whole, and would walk from one side of the wrold to the other sometimes, just for the fun of it.

Depends, do you like short-haired, strong, royal ladies? Because I do.

You're fucked on getting half the set.

Telekenisis on Knight is easy on most other jobs, just need a 390HP lore I think.

iirc you get one half of the set in the first fight, and the other half in the second fight.

How much do you love Ashe?

Pic related is undeniable. You know it to be true.

>and wander Salikawood aimlessly
so you're saying you need to have autism

You sound autistic

Cerobi Steppe is my area for that, going out killing ceourls and wyrms is fun while hoping that chest with good ammo spawns.

Thats bogus. I even made sure to get the Zodiac Spear correctly. Oh well, I'm sure it won't matter aside from my autism.

i thinks thats why i liked it all the games previous to it where just "shut up and fuck already" with the protags.

at least with 12 they didnt ham fist it in

>yfw ff12 on steam leads to more futa fran sfm porn

>calling someone an autist because they like a thing
i almost forgot where i was for a second, thanks for reminding me that liking things in the current year is an unforgivable offense.

This, the problem was the pacing

>i almost forgot where i was for a second,
another sign of autism

it's certain you are autistic.

>not penelo sold to a whore house loses virginity and is broken porn

At least you can FF through the slow parts now gameplay wise.

The Genji Gloves can be obtained through the Hunt Club in this version, luckily that's the only part of the set that really matters for max dps.

i knew it
i knew i was autistic
I've had my suspicions since i was a kid

>implying you couldn't do 1 class builds in FF1 and win even though it might be significantly harder
>implying having all the health in the world won't be easy, just slow

>900 hours spent in a shitty 40 hour game
yes you are autistic

Guess FFVI is still the champion

Ok faggots i need to know what i was doing wrong other than git gud back when i was playing this on ps2
memory hazy so not 100% sure but i remember farming for that shield from ultima chest and getting 3 of those + some 1 handed weapon and felt pretty strong
afterwards i started climbing up the challenge mode floors till i got thrown in a fight with around 10-15 pirate looking guys that would literally tear me a new one despite all my defenses,so what gives?

Best Cid?
He did nothing wrong

I love how they really made him sound like his face is in a trashcan

well, either that or i was really poor and only had 3 games.

every character sounds like that

What a great dub.

i like how this game had two Cids

That's not true at all. He sounds like that because the character literally has a trashcan helmet

So what?

desperately need the chocolate bunny on my face. She is why i became so god damn horny for brown girls.

It is true. The compression is fucking terrible.

...

So did best side boy in a final fantasy game ever get with the bunny?

Yeah, they waged war on the ps2's capabilities. The second to last boss fight was known to lag pretty noticeably.

That video is of the ps4 version

It was actually a developer choice. They're supposed to sound like that. FF12 runs fine on PS2 and there are much bigger games.

The voices didn't change they just made them louder.

user, you can HEAR the compression in the audio track.
You really think someone who played the game is going to believe this bullshit?

then why did that fight lag so fucking bad on every ps2 i tried it on?
