So I'm looking to play FF XII for the first time.

Is it preferable to play Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System or just the regular version?

Yeah, International Zodiac Job System is the way to go. It makes you specialise your characters, so you don't end up with six interchangeable ones. There are various tweaks and improvements, such as removing the ridiculous requirements for getting the Zodiac spear (including not opening certain chests at the beginning of the game), and most importantly, there's now a speed-up button that makes the game run three times as fast.

Is that necessarily a bad thing? FF7 pretty much had fairly interchangeable characters as well.

So I'm playing FFXII Zodiac and I'm wondering if there are "optimal" job choices for each character.

I'm going to assume that Vaan should be a Hunter, am I correct?

Anybody else really appreciate the art of Akihiko Yoshida? He's really talented and can draw in different styles (although my favorite has to be his art from Tactics Ogre).

His role is kinda filled by two other characters (piercing - Auron; fast, fairly accurate attacks - Tidus). Also his overdrive isn't particularly great overall.

He can serve as a really useful early thief, before you get Rikku and you can also make him into a fairly decent mage, later on, so he isn't completely terrible.

Has the original Final Fantasy Tactics aged well? I've been thinking of picking up the War of the Lions version, but I'm not sure how it holds up to the more recent titles.

I've played through FFTA and FFTA2, but the original looks fairly complex with the point systems for jobs/skills, as well as stats like Bravery and Faith. Also I've heard that the game is very difficult, but just how difficult is it?

If you ever want the game to have any challenge never make an unarmed ninja.

Ninjas are my favorite class in Final Fantasy.

Why are they broken in Tactics?

I love how this apparent dark, gritty, and mature Final Fantasy game -- that may be based on a real-rear end war -- is still about high schoolers.

The Valkyria Chronicles series pulled this poo poo in VC2.

Not that the VC series had an exceptional story, though.

One noticeable track that is not trimmed is One Winged Angel, which, of course it is. There are probably others as I have not yet played all 200 and whatever songs

This is funny because it took me completely off guard. I thought the song would be shorter because most of the other songs are relatively trimmed, but One Winged Angel just keeps on going.

It was a test of endurance, especially on Ultimate difficulty.

FFXIII is on sale on Steam. Is it worth it for $7.99?

Is the battle system fun and captivating at all, or is it just a big boring slog?

Motto posted:

The game is 13 chapters long. You unlock the battle system in the third and get full-time access to a full party partway into the ninth.

This information is shocking, but if the game is paced well, this might not be that bad... right?

Do not try to play FFIX with the mindset of trying to steal everything from bosses. You'll save yourself a lot of time and stress.

The theme of FFXIV is that gods are okay when they're vaguely inspirational notions but if you start acting like they're real and let them tell you what to do then the difference between a god and a demon becomes very small.

no the theme of ffxiv is that you must become a god yourself so that you can dictate/save the fate of the world

My team when I played FF7 like 10 years ago was like Cloud/Tifa/Vincent, because I was like 13 and thought Vincent having a move called Satan Slammer was the coolest poo poo ever and Tifa had huge tits. Replaying FF7 now I'm probably gonna mess around with teams until I found a combination I like, but I'll probably end up with like Cloud/Tifa/Yuffie, because I like slots a lot and Yuffie is one of my favorite characters.

good choice

steiner's thunder slash has like a 0% chance to hit pretty much all (with a few exceptions) enemies in the game, due to a bug in the way the move was programmed or something

that's probably one of the things that could be fixed
