Ah yes, Final Fantasy XII. The original game was pretty good, the IZJS version made it one of my favorites and on-par with the PSX titles.

Besides maybe X-2 (but only thanks to X) I've never had so much fun going through the world more than once, revisiting areas I've already gone through. XII Ivalice really is a beautiful world and the amount of freedom you get is just perfect. Also there's never been an FF game where just running around killing random monsters has been nearly as fun and satisfying. Can't say I cared all that much for the original License board, but IZJS solved just about all the issues I had with it.

The original had a few dark stains on its postgame content, what with Yiazmat and the crippling damage limit also making other bosses quite annoying, but IZJS solved even that with the removal of the damage limit and creation of the "Trial Mode Yiazmat" where he only has 4.5 mill HP, cutting just about all the redundant and boring parts right out. Though whatever they were thinking giving the player a win button... I will never understand. I still love IZJS quite a lot.

Amazing game. Playing through it together with my brother when he had a fracture last year is a treasured memory.
