It will work. The healing is indeed a bit of a problem, but that just means your Samurai/Knight will have to stop hitting for a bit to cast Curaja. Your Monk can do the same.

Hell yes, thank you.
Lol I'm the same way, I get easily sidetracked in this game and I love every bit of it.

Why aren't more people talking about how this game has the best bestiary in the ENTIRE series.

Can't decide where to put her first, lol. I'll start grinding again shorly, lol.
Can't decide, just kill.....
Gotta love 2x speed...
Haven't even turned in the rotten tomato quest....

That sounds about right for chests. Enemies can get really scarce after awhile if you're grinding, so every screen isn't so after awhile.
Wracked with indecision about which jobs to pick. Might go with this. Only downsides, I'm not too keen on keeping Balthier on guns. Might swap around Vaan, Ashe, and Penelo's choices too; never used Vaan or Fran much in my vanilla playthroughs, aside from keeping them at equal level to everyone else.
Vaan - Shikari/Red Mage
Balthier - Machinist/White Mage
Fran - Monk/Foebreaker
Basch - Bushi/Uhlan
Ashe - Knight/Time Mage
Penelo - Black Mage/Archer
Vaan - Shikari/Red Mage
Balthier - Machinist/White Mage
Fran - Monk/Foebreaker
Basch - Bushi/Uhlan
Ashe - Knight/Time Mage
Penelo - Black Mage/Archer
Thanks for this ^_^
That's my favorite setup. Vaan can swap with anyone no problem.

Why does this Nidhogg hunt get to attack 5/6 straight times in a row when it's hp is low? The last 5% of this hunt is bullshit with the borderline one shots.

OK, fast forward alone makes this version 10x the game the original was. Played 5 hours of Zodiac Age, reached Bhujerba, and I've had 2x speed toggled like 95% of the time. I didn't exactly enjoy vanilla XII, but how in the fuck did I even tolerate it at normal speed. Zodiac Age is a fuckin' great video game. Watching my AI murder squad roll up on motherfuckers and automatically body them in a flash is so damn satisfying.

I'm not that far into the game right now, but I really like Balthier and Vaan's chemistry. Makes me wonder if people would hate him less if he wasn't advertised as the main character.
Anyway I'm really enjoying the updated class system. I'm thinking these will be my choices.
Vaan: Shikari, Machinist
Balthier: Ulhan, Time mage
Fran: Red Mage, Bushido
Ashe: Black Mage, Knight
Basche: Foebreaker, Archer
Penelo: White Mage, Monk
I hope it sells well, would love a proper sequel TT

This the party I've ran with:
Vaan: Shikari, Foebreaker
Penelo: Black Mage, Monk
Balthier: Machinist, White Mage
Fran: Archer, Red Mage
Basch: Knight, Bushi
Ashe: Uhlan, Time Mage
It works well. Like, really, really well. For those who can't decide: this makes use of all twelve jobs, is lore-friendly for the most part, and is incredibly effective no matter which three people are in the current party. Basch in particular is ludicrously OP.
side note: Dustia chaining/farming still works!

Man this job stuff seems complicated, I keep going over potential parties but I can never decide on which to actually go with.
Right now I'm thinking
Vaan Bushi Monk
Penelo Redmage Time Battlemage
Basch Knight - Bushi
Balthier White Mage-Machinist
Fran Archer Uhlan
Ashe Black Mage -Bushi
but I'm not sure what 3 person party each person would go into yet.

The game is Pro-enabled, meaning Boost Mode does nothing.
Boost Mode is only for non-Pro-enabled games.
Being a Pro-supported game, the game is already using all of the Pro's resources.

The licences are kind of broken no? I've not even fought the first esper and I have Curaja open already. Licence points are being shelled out like crazy too
But you don't actually have Curaja.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
For some reason I thought this also had the 'auto heal' option like FFVII Re-release does?

I cant tell if its just me but it feels like theres some input lag here. I can remember if it was like this for the original or not. Not too big of a deal since this isnt an action rpg but its kinda annoying moving the camera and chars.

True, but with so many battlelore and hp upgrades unlocked now I'm feeling rather unstoppable. I guess I just didn't expect it to be so easily within reach on the board. I've not looked up locations, but I figure the shop that stocks it is likely gated off until sometime around the long journey north. Still it means I could unlock ridiculous weapons licences easy, and can't we port OP weapons of from the trials or something?
Not that I'm planning to. Kinda looking forward to the difficulty catching me back up a bit instead.

Absolutely loving this. Really hard choosing jobs for people though.

40~ cut in half if you run the game double speed I guess. I'd really recommend the optional content though personally. The hunts are half of the fun

Think I'm going to keep the music at OST. Seem to like it more.
And I made Vaan into a Samurai. Something different this time. Probably make him a White mage too later on. They get 2 jobs yes?

I don't think that spoiler is necessary, but it's been a long ass time for me, but I think a little over half.
There absolutely is input lag to everything you do. It's most noticeable in the battle menu, to the point that I simply can't get used to that lag. Everything else I've sort of gotten used to.
I don't think so, no. I've been stealing around in the trials and haven't gotten anything particularly OP. In fact, I've only got one piece of gear (a small upgrade to Vaan's light armor), rest has been potions and such.
Enemies don't drop anything in the Trials, they only give LP.

I'm very sad to hear the voice audio is still compressed. It stuck out like a sore thumb to me back on PS2, and I was really really really hoping they would fix them on this release. I just ordered my copy anywho. It really killed my immersion on PS2, but I'm a bit of a nut with audio.

Question: why are people listing two jobs for their characters? I thought you could only pick one. Or is there some hybrid system I'm not aware of?
Anyway, glad to finally jump back into FF12! I put around 100 hours into the ps2 version after several blockbuster rentals

Does 2X speed literally double the speed of everything?
I spend a lot of time in equipment and character screens too so probably not half as long.

Ah, for some reason I thought I heard something about somebody stealing an end game weapon in the trials last night.
Only gameplay, everything else plays out at normal speed, but you can use it and 4x speed to really shrink grinding times etc.
