Picking mine up on the way home, ordered the CE strategy book too (as I often do for RPGs, usually cheap on Amazon and they look great on a bookshelf).

Mine came in today but we drove to the city so I'll play it Thursday probably, it basically came out on my birthday which is fitting since it's one of my favorite games ever.
1) My copy didn't arrive yet (they insist they have til l21h00) fuckers
2) Do i need to chose carefully wich licence to unlock in each boards? or it doesn't mather because i can unlock them all
If you already chose the job it generally doesn't matter EXCEPT for which Esper you unlock. Certain sections of the board are locked behind it and the Esper nodes are shared across all 6 characters, so u need to pick wisely
At least that's what I remember
Setup is mostly because I like doing the Balthier + Ashe + Fran team most of the time. Every job gets utilized. I think it's more optimal for Ashe and Vaan to switch jobs but idgaf.
TIM/MNK - Vaan
MCH/WHM - Fran
ARC/UHL - Basch
BUS/KNI - Ashe
SHI/FOE - Balthier
BLM/RDM - Penelo

John DiMaggio -
Final Fantasy XII Migelo, Gilgamesh
Hah, thought so. Pretty awesome.
Wish I could go back to the "old" system so I could just use my favorite characters, but w/e. Game is pretty, just wish they did a bit of work making dialogue match the character models.
Also, HD Fran is a beautiful thing.
I was really hoping they would keep using John DiMaggio for future Gilgamesh uses in games, but he wasn't in FF14 which made me sad.
Related to the whole new job system in this game, I didn't mind older Final Fantasy games where characters already had set jobs and you just used the ones you needed or just being able to level up jobs/change jobs, but giving me a choice of these jobs on whatever characters and locking that in the rest of the game just really messes with me for some reason. I am still really looking forward to this game though, been quite a few years since I last played through it.
Really dislike having to be forced into choosing jobs for the characters but I'm enjoying playing it again.
Can't decide on jobs... ugh
2 minutes on reddit and you have jobs decided.
Yeah, being locked into jobs and your quality of play dependent on what you choose can give a lot of people anxiety, including me lol.
Luckily it's good enough to be "good enough" for XII!
Ordered on Monday and super excited it came in on Tuesday - although I only got to play for an hour I'm normally one to wait for a PC version now but sitting in my comfortable bed and playing on my TV has a nostalgic appeal to it. Not sure how I want to do job choosing: do it myself and learn from my mistakes, or use an online guide. Probably the latter :/
Apparently Fran and Balthier are the worst with their "main" (bow and gun) weapons because of their animations. But I can't get myself to stick them onto non canon jobs lol
I think I've decided my team
Vaan - Shikari/Breaker
Basch - Knight/Bushi
Ashe - Black Mage/Monk
Balthier - Machinist/Time Mage
Fran - Red Mage/archer
Penelo - uhlan/White Mage
The top 3 are supposed to be god tier combos. I'm not totally sure about Fran and Penelo mage swaps, but I don't know which would be best.
Think ill do this
Monk/BLM Penelo
RDM/Archer (Fran)
Foebreaker/Shikari Vaan
WHM/Machinist Balthier
Uhlan/TimeMage Basch
Knight/Bushi Ashe
I don't have any probs taking them off canon jobs. Actually what I prefer is if they look cool with their animations, regardless of canon. I always love Fran with a pole because she's tall (NO STRIPPER JOKES), but I'm looking forward to seeing her use guns cause I never did that combo. And I bet Penelo is cute with a bow, I always had her with poles, maces or daggers. Though the one time I made her my BLM with katana she got wiped every fight because even Lure couldn't keep aggro off her for long lol.
So, I want to register my game on SE site, but I can't login because it asks me to complete the captcha, but no captcha is shown >.>
