First esper seems to be level 40 +. I beat 2 below that level but they weren't easy.
Any tips for someone who's preparing for that ?
I know I'll start but summoning
Zodiark
and after I'll focus on
Ghis
Also... I don't want to Seitengrat them.
I know the game's story starts to peter out at a certain point, and I think I'm starting to get to that point. However, the gameplay and customization is pulling me in to the point where I'm okay with that. The game's highs for me are the party management, dungeons, and music. The story is pretty good, but I find some things lacking anyway, so it's not really my main drive, although some points have surprised me.
The first time I played the game, I played for about 60 hours until somewhere near the end, and never finished. I plan to see it this time through to the end, especially considering I'm enjoying it so much.

After Jahara is a good time to get several of them. You won't be able to beat some of the tougher ones, but you should be able to get Zalera, Adrammelech, and Cuchulainn around then. Get haste from Eruyt village first if you want a bit of a boost and you have a time mage.
Yes.
Yeah, this makes sense. I was letting my guard down just because it looked like they were about to die and before I knew it I was dead..

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Does it matter what quickenings I pick on my Licence boards? It gives me a message saying I can only learn 3 per board for a character.
Ok, this question is asked almost as much if not more than the "how about these jobs?" question, so here you guys go, in an easy to read image.

A couple of points in the game I heard some music in cutscenes that I thought was newly composed for the remaster. Turns out: it was just an old track, but with some mad remastering. Well done. As inconsistent as SE has been, they never disappoint in the soundtrack department.

there's something to be said about pricing and value - but I baulked at the $50 pricetag on this. Will wait for a sale. :/

Can anyone give me a brief list of the major end game content other than hunts? Kinda need a refresher as I think I'm missing a couple things.
Well, you should only pay what it's worth to you.
That said, this is a fantastic package and the live recorded soundtrack alone is worth the price of readmission to me.

Trophy Hunt! Knew there was something I forgot and it's the same thing I did with the original release. Thanks!
pretty sure it's in the big room where the rare entite spawns. it's like a 10% chance to appear so you have to keep zoning until you get it
Thank you so much, just to make sure I understood you correctly on this map it's where the purple V is right ?
yeah that should be it

Just tried out the Reks Cure method to manipulate the RNG for Seitengrat and holy shit it worked.
Every time i had the chest appear and after the 3rd one i got Seitengrat.
Its crazy how people figure this stuff out.

100 hours+ of game play isn't worth $50 to you? It's sitting at 86 on metacritic, and has been pretty much universally praised in this thread.
I mean, if you don't want to play it bad enough to pay full price, waiting for a sale is fine, but if any game is worth full price, it's this one, at least IMO.

Love wandering around and doing hunts with Larsa. Also, the tweaks to the esper system are extremely welcome. Their final attacks are really cool, but I couldn't be bothered to trigger most of them in the original.
You can't change class. At first you pick one, later on in the main story you'll be able to select a second jobs for all your character. The jobs choices are permanent.
Yes after about 10-15 hours you get to pick a second job. It's after the main big story point.
you pick your starting class and eventually, you can unlock a second board. some nodes are shared form board to board, so don't worry too much about farming LP sinces you wont have to reunlock everything.
ok perfect with the sub job, i had balthier role as a DRK in the original wanted to recreate it! Looks like i still can!

Ashe looks awesome with a Holy Rod or Holy Lance :O The black and gold of the rod, with similar detailing as the gold-over-black on her outfit, and then the white lance with small details of purple that match her white and pink/purplish blue of her outfit.
Of all my character, Ashe as Uhlan White Mage was the one I was most aesthetically uncertain about. I'm kinda picky about that -- I went with no Archer because of the awful size of the bows that float on your back. With Ashe as Uhlan, I almost restarted once because I hate how some of the spears look on your back, and Ashe with an Excalibur was always one of my favorite aesthetic combos (alongside Ashe with Holy Lance) in the OG.
But getting Holy Lance and Holy Rod for her again haha she looks bad ass as a Uhlan White Mage. The detailing and colours look like they were made specifically for her outfit.
Ashe as a Holy Dragoon, Balthier the Red Scorpion Ninja, Balther the Samurai, Fran the Mage Knight, 'I like Fire' Penelo, and Vaan 'Sunflower Sword' Ratsbane.

Getting Hastega in the Great Crystal dungeon is still annoying with all those switches to turn to reach it.
It's great for leveling up, though.

Some of these Espers...they are for more horrific than I remember >.>
86 is rough unless you use something like an espers ultimate to clear out all the pirates. after that the two named ones are easy. the rest of the stuff ain't too bad since it's all enemies you've killed before until 100.

You just sold me on this thing
you can get multiple items from one steal, but you can't steal from the same enemy multiple times. throw on the theif's gloves for a higher chance
Jeez...........this is going to take a while.

Ditto! Because Basch isn't the best on the magic front, Shikari/Foebreaker should be a good combo for him, and Shikari/Foebreaker are a good combo in general. (It goes well for the first page, then descends into arguing...)
Kensuke did some nice class combo breakdowns here for the characters, if you didn't want to go Shikari/Foebreaker. Unlike Vaan, Basch wouldn't be quite as suited for the Shikari/WM or Shikari/RBM combos, but ultimately FFXII isn't that hard for it to matter too much.

I decided to finish the game and it was overall a beautiful experience. I had only played until Balfonheim port back in 2006 or 2007. Pleasantly surprised to see the new game + option after the unskippable credits. Didn't defeat Zodiark though, but kinda figured out a way to beat him. Might reload an old save and go at him later.
