So what would everyone want from a XIII remaster? Would 1080p60 with some Lighting upgrades and auto save be enough? Would some additional content even be possible?
OK I've settled on White Mage / Machinist for Balthier
one down...
maybe Black Mage / Monk for Ashe?
do peoples clothes change with their jobs? gotta make sure ashe is lookin right
It's a fair point, I don't think it would sell that we'll to be honest. But obviously PS3 remasters are commonplace, and XIII isn't playable on PS4. Plus square need dem filler releases.Does 13 need a remaster? We're in the same decade it came out still.
I think this is what I'll be going with:
Vaan: Hunter/Breaker
Penelo: Monk/Black Mage
Balthier: Machinist/White Mage
Fran: Archer/Red Mage
Ashe: Knight/Time Mage
Basch: Samurai/Uhlan
Amazon.ca says it'll be here tomorrow, can't wait
Okay dumb question maybe, but why was IZJS called "international" in the first place? I mean, I know about the history of updated international versions of games obviously, but was it supposed to come to the west initially?

Ugh, I assumed my in-store pre-order was a steelbook. Turns out it's not. They still have some online but I might not get it until late this week or early next week. What to do.
This is my plan, going mostly based off my perception of the lore for this playthrough:
Vaan: Hunter/Foebreaker
Penelo: Monk/White Mage
Balthier: Machinist/Time Battlemage
Fran: Archer/Black Mage
Ashe: Either Knight or Uhlan/Red Battlemage
Basch: Either Knight or Uhlan/Bushi
Gonna probably agonize forever over the Ashe/Basch job casting choices.

It's pretty shit in this game cause you get it so late now. There's no need to worry about it til end game, you can't get it earlier than that.
Why would Lightning need upgraded?
Would you consider Archer / Red Mage for Fran (I hear ardor + burning bow is one of the most powerful elemental combos) ? That is also lore friendly (Vieras are typically archers, assasins, or red mages in other Ivalice games). That would free up black mage for an bushi / black mage combo (the "dark version" of the Monk / White Mage combo is how I like to see it)
Then you could have Basch as a knight / ulhan (Fits his military training as a weapon expert, although you would be double dipping on heavy armor and HP board from an optimized build). Another alternative could be making Basch a knight / Time battlemage (tank which can buff the party) and balthier as a machinist / ulhan (in FFT war of the lions, balthier could use guns and spears, so he was a dragoon / gunner hybrid). This latter option would be lore friendly, and also take advantage of all 12 jobs!
are the starting stats and LV99 stats the same as the original?
if so, and if i remember correctly, Ashe has very high magic. Therefore, she should be black mage or/and the job that uses ninja sword.
My tentative party with Ashe being party leader most of the time:
[1st job pick / 2nd job pick]
Vaan - Archer / Red Battlemage
Balthier - Shikari / Foebreaker
Fran - White Battlemage / Time Battlemage
Basch - Bushi / Monk
Ashe - Knight / Bushi
Penelo - Monk / Black Battlemage
Machinist and Uhlan were dropped because they are the weaker jobs. Monks and Knights can replace a WHM late game with the appropriate Espers so BLM/MNK becomes the penultimate omnispellcasting combo. Doubling up on Knights is a bad idea due to the job's Esper reliance so Basch gets /Monk instead.
Yeah, all the changes you're suggesting have been floating around in my head for a while, especially
Fran as Archer/Red Battlemage
Basch as Knight/Time Battlemage
Balthier as Machinist/Uhlan
which would leave Ashe as a Bushi/Black Mage
I'm just kinda iffy about Ashe as a Black Mage since that doesn't quite feel right for her. I could always make Basch the Bushi/Black Mage and Ashe the Knight/Time Mage...
I like that list except for Ashe. It's been a long time since I played this but I remember Ashe being a very capable fighter. I never played the Zodiac version either so I probably need to relearn everything anyways.
I'm waiting near my door tomorrow and as soon as I see the delivery driver pull up Im gonna start playing Theme of the Empire as he walks up to the door.
All these suggestions for optimal and lore job combinations are confusing me before my game even arrives in the mail. =/
The moogles of Ivalice are the GOAT. Smart, cunning, industrious, righteous, without any of the naivete of their inferior cousins. Only with their might does Bhujerba and its allies stand chance against the empire's fleet. Hear this and know all, that these moogles are no mere mascots.They sure do

Quoted for truth. Ivalice's moogles are best moogles, by far.
Came across this picture that was done for IZJS and I might make a team like this.
I wish they "showed' the jobs for the rest of the characters in the picture though.
Damn I had no idea this was coming out tomorrow. If only I didn't have a big backlog to finish first...
I made these for myself but if anyone would like some Final Fantasy XII avatars, feel free to use them.

Nah, that's Rasler, Ashe's fianceeIs that bottom left image supposed to be Balthier. It's fan art right? Because it's not really best rendition of his character I've seen.
