FF XII International Zodiac Job System License Grid Translations and other info

[Crossblades]

For those who are planning to play this recently released JP exclsusive version of FF XII, Gamefaqs have already translated the License Boards for each job and you can use this for reference. Keep in mind though, that once you pick a job for a certain character, you have to stick with it throughout the entire game.

#3 - Start hunting down 30 other Trophy Rare Game enemies that have spawned over Ivalice
#4 - When you claim their trophies, bring them back here and trade majority of them to Atak
#5 - Shifty-Eyed Man's store will update depending on how many and who you give trophies to
#6 - You can talk to Huntmaster and ask about how many trophies you gave to whom
#7 - Talk to Huntmaster once all 30 trophies have been dispersed - if Atak won, your reward is ZODIAC SPEAR

All this info is from the Gamefaqs forums

[Renmiri]

Very cool! Did you buy it ?

[Crossblades]

Very cool! Did you buy it ?

Not yet. All the info I posted I got from the Gamefaqs. Hopefully I'll purchase this along with swap magic sometime in the next few weeks

[Markus. D]

Awww... I was hoping they would have Weapon Skills ._.~

Oh well .___.

[Amundusias]

Did the put in a new way to get into Barheim even if you sold the Serpent Skin?

[LunarWeaver]

I heard almost all of the Gambits are available from the start now, too. That would make magic much more viable, as many of the magic-related Gambits didn't pop-up until the game was already over.

I wish I could play this. I tried forcing myself into jobs, but my willpower is not up to the task. I need the game to do it for me, blargh! :sophia:

[Renmiri]

Did the put in a new way to get into Barheim even if you sold the Serpent Skin?

You can still get to Barheim if you sell the skin, you just get a lower quality prize from Dantro's wife

[Amundusias]

Thank you for clearing that up!


By the way, what is a Shikari and an Uhlan? Is that what they call ninja/thieves and dragoons in this game?

[Crossblades]

Thank you for clearing that up!


By the way, what is a Shikari and an Uhlan? Is that what they call ninja/thieves and dragoons in this game?

Ya

Although shikari is considered more of a hunter

[Amundusias]

Does the grid start where it says Battle Command?

Also, here is an attachment of Zodiac Signs that goes with each job, so you guys wouldn't have a problem selecting jobs for your characters

[Crossblades]

Pardon the double post

There's actually a second method to obtaining the Zodiac Spear in this version. It's located in the Henne Mines. The arrow on this map is it's location. It's a 1% chest spawn though



And here is some info on the Espers. Besides the fact that you can now control them and change their Gambits, there also has been some Esper ability additions/changes in this version. Here is a list of what has been added or changed:

Belias: Cura, Fira

Mateus: Blizzara

Addramelech: Cura instead of Curaga

Zalera: Cura, Warp, Death, instead of Shock and Holy. Condemnation is now random damage up to target's remaining HP?

Shemhazai: Curaja, Shock

Hashmal: Curaja, Graviga

Exodus: Curaja, Ardor

Zeromus: Curaja, Scourge

Cuchulainn: Bio

Chaos: Renew, seems to have lost all other spells except Aeroga

Famfrit: Renew

Ultima: Holy and Renew, lost Flare

Zodiark: Renew, Scathe/Collapse, and Hastega

[Dynast-Kid]

Urghh! I HATE the way they assigned the jobs to the Zodiac signs! They make NO sense! When I heard they were doing this, I thought they were going to use traditional astrological principles to determine and interpret which jobs go with which sign/personality. I guess they didn't though. 'Cause I mean, Virgo would SO be a White Mage if they did it the way I thought. And Aquarius would be the Machinist, and Aries the Knight etc.
