How do I switch off the new job system like in the international version, please?

[Paro]

I had the international version for the PS2. You could choose between the new job system and the old one. I only want to use the old job system (license board) not where you have to pick one tiny little job and get stuck thanks.

you don't. the job board is part of the strategy in this game. having everyone be a jack of all trades makes no sense.

Whelp, guess it's refund time and back to the emulator. So upset, too, because everything about this remaster I love. Especially the boost speed button. But it's not the FF12 I remember, so there goes every reason I have to even own this game.

All right, fine, I'll give it a chance. I really hope you're right about it being better. I just hate it when games limit your choices.

I owned the international version back in the PS2 days and they gave you a choice. I just don't understand why removing a feature like that has been done. Why on earth couldn't they at LEAST make it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ optional?

[Paro]

I'm gonna give it a chance, though. Maybe I'm just being too nostalgic and it's actually a great feature. Who the hell knows? But even then, I just think letting the player choose might have been a bit smarter.

Wait but time out. Is character stat growth still the same? What's the point of giving us 12 different jobs if it turns out that the same characters that had naturally high magic, for example, in the previous version are still going to have that same advantage?

Er, no they didn't. You always had to pick a job, and only one of them, unlike in this version. What are you smoking?

That said, there's a couple of mods that have the original licence board (though not exactly as there are new augments and a lot of the exact licences have shifted around)

the difference in stats is minimal at best - just a couple of points. But as you can freely choose 2 out of 2 jobs for everyone that is no problem as you get stronger than in the Izjs version.

And while you can not let everybody learn everything like in the original (and i would have likely to have that option included) that is no problem as you get stronger than before anyways.

In the original you got 5 magic Lore (Mag+1), now Blackmage gets >10.

Also - i would say the licens-board is the smallest part of the game, just a minor detail to the overall playstyle and feeling.

Having Everyone be a jack of all trades was horrible, sorry, they old version was just too easy to exploit, hell.... I just finished the game and It is a way more personal/meaningful skill board, period. Nostalgia isn't always right.

You can just mod the original license board, if you REALLY want it. But the job system is what makes this version a lot more fun and replayable.

I was unaware this was even an option.

All right I'm getting used to the new system. I have to say, this new auto save feature is amazing. I just died on an 80-chain and lost NOTHING because of it. Wow.

dastia, fideliant or elite ouargue? just curious :D

I'm pretty sure loading an auto-save broke my chain when I was trying to get to 999. Unless I messed up another way somehow, but I do know I had to start it over.
