I had my white mage cast Curaja anytime one of my people went below 80% health. I had my Shikari/Foebreaker withering everyone (this makes ahuge difference) 2 of my 3 people had ribbons on to help with status effects. I casted protectga at the start of the battle.
Once they were remedied, i spammed zodiark. Once Ghis goes down its dramatically easier, 2 Zodiarks almost kill ghis.
If you used reverse to beat stage 99, use esunga right away, otherwise you don't stand a chance.
After that, throw everything you have got at Judge Ghis (dark energy, zodiark, etc.), since he only has like 120k HP.
If you debuff everyone, you now only have to deal with 2 judges at a time, because of one of them is asleep, another immobilized and confused.
You have to kill the judges with disease first,otherwise they will keep healing themself.
Once only 2 judges are left, you have to burst down gabranth before the other one wakes up.

How do you sort loot/inventory? I've seen videos of guys dragging items and placing them where they want on the list.
When outside of cities, press up/down on the d-pad to change leaders. or left/right? i think it's up/down

Playing the God of War 3 remaster along with FFXII , and i can't help but think this looks... better? 🤔
Well a bit more pleasing at times, loving the texture detail, iq and lightning touches, they did a good job with this one. GOW show their age.(those set pieces though :O)

Who ever thought this was a great idea needs to be banished from making video games.
thanks using it but the fact you need a video guide or a guide is ridiculous enough.
There are multiple aspects of FF12 which basically require a strategy guide unfortunately. There's no possible way to figure out some of the bazaar recipes without a guide, or the locations of certain abilities, or how to spawn certain rare mobs.
It's a great game but you can see the flaws even whilst you can enjoy it hugely.

You can always draw your own map, old school dungeon crawler style.

Even with a map i still didnt know how to get hastega.
The way the gates work confused me.
Using the guide above guy skipped Virgo 2 and now its has been a nightmare.

from many pages back:
okay...
using this map, https://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/459841-final-fantasy-xii/faqs/46722, & assuming you've unlocked the scorpio gate:
1) go from viii to ix
2) go from ix to x
3) go from x to sagitarius & hit switch
4) open S2, go to xii
5) go from xii to xiv
6) go from xiv to leo & hit switch
7) open L2, go to xv
8) go from xv to libra & hit switch
9) open L2, go to capricorn & hit switch
10) open C1, go to virgo & hit switch
11) open V2, go to capricorn & hit switch
12) open C2, go to xvii
13) go from xvii to xviii
14) go to aquarius & hit switch
15) open A1, go to taurus & hit switch
16) open T2, go to #1 (hastega)...
i think that's it...
It's annoying to have the game and not the PS4 :/ I want to play this again...
The only thing I disliked in the first is that the gambit were gimped at the beginning, it's so annoying. :/
I remember one of my friends managed to finished the game with the levels you have at the end of the first dungeon (between 1 and 3 depending on the character), but he killed a dualshock by making circles with a stick for >100h

14-Combo ending with Luminescence...
Gonna hook up my Hori fps pad tomorrow. Face buttons on auto-fire and praying for some good RNG to get Black Hole.

About the License board: This is my first time playing FFXII and after finally getting to Rathwall's tomb, I feel like I made a mistake assigning certain roles for my characters. Can I switch or am I stuck?
Whew Yiazmat down! Thank you Wither and my Knight/ Red Mage Basch spamming Darkga. Pretty intense fight overall.
It's been a long time but on my 5th playthrough of FF 12 (2 old, 3 International/TZA), I finally felled all hunts and obtained all the Espers. Not going to 100% everything since I have other games to get to but I must say the TZA release was wonderful. They could have made some needed tweaks still (better Techniques / actually useful Techniques, RNG chests galore/ spells being all scattered all over the place with no clear indication where to look, still annoying lag in the Queue list, etc) but overall, the definite version of 12 is here.

Its locked in but dont worry, every class has is good.
Ya, people need to realize unless you made every character the same thing or something, you can beat any of the games content with your class set up, even if some setups definitely make it easier.

Too easy, in fact I kinda regret all the min-maxing I did because it made the game so easy.
Probably gonna replay the game again in the winter or something with 'canon' (or headcanon hehehe) jobs and Level/item restrictions (e.g. no 'farming'/ progress through every dungeon with the urgency of the story/always 1-3 levels below bosses).

Even if you made everyone the same class the game still wouldn't be very hard.
Ya I just don't know if you'd be able to beat someone like Yiamzat or the harder espers with a single class.

Bought the game at launch but haven't played it yet. I'm waiting to be done with World of Final Fantasy.
How's the game, y'all? How much better is it than the original game? I beat it back when it came out in '06, but haven't touched it since.

Finally booted up my launch day copy. Any easy to follow complete walkthroughs out there?
That's how things were in IZJS if i'm not mistaken so def doable I'd say.
You really don't need full walkthrough. Nothing is of importance is missable.
If you are going for platinum, there are a few things you should look up:
Rare games, Summons and other optional bosses.
You might also need to look up where to find certain spell and technicks, as well as which monsters are missing from your bestiary at the end of the game .

I have finally finished the game. I wanted to platinum it, but I think I will skip it. Am I the only one that couldn't play it at the standard speed anymore after trying the x2 mode?
Just spam random quickings until you get lucky,only press R2 when you have no other options.
If you press fast enough, the countdown barely goes down.

No, it looks like slow motion when you go back to normal speed. It's by far the best feature of the remaster. The only time i turned it off was during trial 100.
80 - 85% done
Oh nice.

FF12 is amazing it's first half, but after you reach mt bur omisace it seems like a drop off in quality starts to happen. The story is becoming less interesting, the pacing seems worse, the dungeons are getting really tedious, the new environments and cities are a tad bit less interesting, and the sidequests are becoming flatout ANNOYING. When I first picked up the FF12 remaster and played for a bit, I wondered why I dropped it 10 years ago because I was having such a good time, and after just reaching Balfonheim I'm being reminded of why I did. I'm probably just gonna power through to the end and skip most of the sidequests now.

Got my first Ribbon from Hashmal's trial! Any other stuff I should make sure to get to prepare for the bonus bosses if I have Seitengrats to speed things up?
ArkhamFantasy

I'd get 2 more ribbons and a nihopalaoa.

Got one already so just 2 ribbons to go. What's the best armor for most of the trials? Currently have them wearing 2 Maximillians, a Rubber Suit, a Glimmering Robes, a Grand Armor and a set of Black Robes.

Not weird at all. Black magic isn't really that useful before the -ra spells (or, at least, not something you can make part of your gambits as the meat and potatoes of that character's combat).
Thanks y'all. I remember a wall like boss in the tomb and it's making me nervous lol.
