The map you can bring up with 元 is a great touch and is the perfect bridge between the mini and full map to stay moving while you explore.Īlso, nothing makes this feel like a modern game more than Nolan North as one of the first voices you hear once the gameplay starts (as Vossler). This is the GOAT RPG gameplay, it's amazing to be out in the open, filling in the map, and accumulating L.P. I played Tactics Ogre leading up to this and it's awesome to see their most detailed world with that classic Ivalice sound and feel. Ultimately, it's a masterwork game and it's good just to have it back and off a dead console. The game just deserves better, I don't care if it took 3 programmers 10 years in their spare time, FXII deserves more care than this. It reminds me a lot of how games handle now so I can see how it might not bother some people but it's disappointing for a gameplay-focused JRPG where you're analyzing a lot of information. I know DF says it's more consistent now but I just can't imagine the original handling like this on PS2. The input lag is noticeable once I hit the title screen and the frame rate and camera panning are noticeably choppy. Having ranged attacks from bow is nice for some situations, and the swiftness x3 from archer ensures faster cast times. With Penelo's high magic stat, she will decimate enemies. Only other option to do this is black mage / red mage so you can use flame staff, but I'd rather separate my offensive mages.
Penelo - Red Battlemage (Archer) - natural combo here as Fire Bow can power up ardor significantly. 2nd job will be machinist or time mage, depending on what I want for Balthier.Īshe - Black Mage (Monk) best magic user in the game combined with tons of buffs and utility from monk, including high level white magic (holy)
Heavily leaning on time battlemage though since I'd rather not give it to my white mage.įran - White mage - she doesn't have a great magic stat, but decent enough, and if there's one category of magic you can use with non-optimal magic stat its white mage - you want your offensive spell casters to be your best magic users. I’ll say it now, as you’ll see me say it a million times: White Mage is incredibly and heavily subjective to a significant number of factors that affect what’s best to do. Both of these jobs will provide "swiftness x3" and both give some access to time magic. I believe I'll be taking time battlemage as his 2nd job, but there's an outside chance of taking machinist- I'll decide later. His low vitality will mean slightly weaker damage with hammers or axes, but he won't really be using them that often.īalthier - Uhlan - Balthier has top tier speed swinging spears, so he's perfect for this role. For lore reasons I would have liked to give this to Basch but his low magic stat was a roadblock.īasch - Shikari (will take Foebreaker) he has the fastest dagger and ninja sword animation in the game (actually he's great with pretty much all weapons) and this combo does not require any magic at all. Vaan - Knight (will be taking Bushi) Vaan has really good magic stat (3rd to Penelo and Ashe) and his animation speed for greatswords and katanas are top tier. Haven't reached a point where I can choose 2nd jobs yet, but here is what I've chosen and why.
