I bought both.
I waste money like that.
No regrets.
I think I have 3 copies of FF XII on PS2. First one was Steelbook, first Steelbook I ever bought.

Same.
½ hours till unlock. Hnnnngggg. Made final changes to my team as well.
Main team:
Basch: Archer/RedMage (my controlled)
Ashe: Knight/WhiteMage
Balthier: Bushi/TimeMage
Fourth rotational character (physical breaks, undead killing help etc):
Fran: Monk/BlackMage
Never going to use these two, other than in the beginning parts:
Vaan: Shikari/Foebreaker
Penelo: Uhlan/Machinist

As far as I know, job choices are final. Only options are to load a previous save (if you just screwed up your second job choice) or restart the game from scratch.
I think you're locked in once you've decided their jobs. I may be wrong, but I remember reading that earlier.

Director wanted people to live with choices.
I wonder whose idea it was to change everything else in the International version then lol

The battle designer, Hiroyuki Itou was mainly in charge of most of the combat mechanics of both FFXII and the IZJS re-release.
Because he had a Supervisory role in this remaster, I'd say his input was considered for most of the changes.

In one of the many interviews about TZA, they said that Ito was in charge of any balance changes for enemies and equipment stat changes/cost/availability etc. It was more recommendations over a cast iron thing but they said they changed very little just because as they played and tested X worked better than Y etc.
The great mystery of the 21st Century remains what exactly has kept Ito employed at SquareEnix for the last 11 years. He's (in)arguably more influential on the series than Nomura, but he isn't BFFs with Gackt so no one cares : /

Its gone.
Pretty sure it depends on the system language. I have the EU copy and always have my PS4 set to Japanese as system language and got Japanese texts in-game. Swapped over to Norwegian in the PS4 system setting and got English texts in-game.
Obviously you didn't throw enough Gil at it.
Really hoping I could pick one up at my local walmart. I found limited editions of square games don't sell that we'll over there. They still had a copy of kh 2.8 limited new after all this time.

I would love to but I missed out on getting the steelbook edition which had the additional soundtrack! If they offered that as DLC, I may pick up the standard edition.

I 100% IZJS in HD about a year ago....cant wait for this to show up tomorrow to play it some more!
I played the unofficial English IZJS translation back in 2010, and loved it so much I played it three times in a row with different classes. (It helps that this was during a period of unemployment, but that's still something I would normally never do.)
I didn't think I would be interested in playing this again any time soon, especially with other games that I'm currently working through... but reading about the job combinations and everything has got me hooked again.
Aren't the menus 60fps? Would suck to have input lag on those.
I canceled my steelbook because I like having rpgs digital. Few more hours now.

Has Square said if they added bossters to this like they have with other Final Fantasy re-releases? FF12 was the one Final Fantasy I couldn't beat without a gameshark.

My guess would be no, since no big name game is coming out alongside it.
No boosters just the "fast forward" also your username is awesome, if it's in reference to the Shannara character lol.

I wish they made Fran and Balthier's attack speed with bow/gun faster. Kinda sucks that they're not great with them.
well, damn. i might just drive up there and get it digitally then

Indeed it is. One of my favorite book series and my favorite character and that's too bad. Guess I'll have to wait and see if they release it on Steam and use Cheat Engine instead.
I believe they are, which is why it makes zero sense to have such noticeable input lag. Had to boot up the original on PCSX2 just out of curiosity, and it actually felt like the menus were a bit more responsive.
Fuck. Really hope I can get used to this. Unbelievable how much this sours me on the experience lol.
Still making them an archer and a machinist. Team lore represent!*

Did any reviews mention it? It'd be really weird for no one else to pick up on it : /
Can imagine it being super annoying though.

Ashe: Black Mage + Monk
Basch: Monk + Bushi
Penelo: White Mage + Machinist
Balthier: Shikari + Breaker
Fran: Archer + Red Mage
I think that's the team I've decided on, after many hours of planning and looking at all the options.

Yeah this sort of thing really sticks out to me. I'm hoping it's not that bad.
Thanks! PM sent
It's important to note that this barely matters at all and shouldn't determine your classes.
It's literally just fractions of a second in difference. IIRC, Balthier fires his gun something like three or four percent slower than the fastest character. This should not affect your gameplay unless you're doing some kind of crazy ultra speedrun that needs to be cut down by seconds or something.
Just... have fun, give Balthier a gun, give Fran a bow, do whatever you want! And I reiterate from this morning: make backup save files before you assign your jobs so you can redo your choices without playing the first few hours of the game over and over and over.
