Yeah. When you defeat them their node appeared in the license board. About their ability, I think it's automatic or the summoner's level?from what i have read, when you aquire a summon monster (by defeating it in battle), one character has to sign a permanent bind with that monster, and for the rest of the game only that character can summon it.

From what i can tell from playing, the Espers levels and strength and such grow as it summoner levels.Yeah. When you defeat them their node appeared in the license board.

Sorry, I wasn't able to check too much on the threads1. I need Aria28 or Lunar here.
2. No, they only provide abilities and weapons. Nodes in License Board varies in different thing: There are nodes that allow you to increase your max HP (not very sure about MP), there are also: Some increase your chance of higher damage, some allow Remedy to cure more status, some increase your time bar, some decrease the MP cost for magic by 10%, some gives the ability that an accessories have and some let healing items heals you more (Potion [100 HP] becomes [110 HP]).
3. Yes. The spell is like weapons/armors. They are available as you progress more in the story. And you can learn as many licenses as you want as long as you have License Point for it. And you can buy as many spells/skills available as you want as long as you have gils. But you cannot use them until after you gain their license and their magic/skill. *LOOK AT LunarWeaver's POST*
1) Yes, when you defeat a monster, you get both EXP and LP - EXP are for your regular level progress like in most FF, except FF X. It goes all the way up to level 99, and your stats, like HP, MP, etc, increase as well. At the same time, you get 1 or more LP for each monster defeated, with which you can buy licenses on the board
You don't get EXP from Mob hunts
2) vivi_ultima pretty much said it all. I just want to confirm that, while you get HP increase, you don't get MP increases per se, but your MP bar increases as you aquire more Mist Knacks for a character
3) Nothing to add to LunarWeaver's and vivi_ultima's post
Hi everyone, I'm Krunal (the author of the License Board FAQ that you've put on the first page) I thought that I'd put my two cents into this conversation
Anyway, what you need to do is take a look at the License Board FAQ that accompanies the Image version of the FAQ. The Text version contains details on exactly what each magic and weapon and well everything is. I've also submitted an updated version of the License Board which should be updated in a day or two which will have a couple of changes from the one on the first page (corrected many errors).
With that out of the way, believe me when I say that the Licenseboard is anything but complicated, once you get used to it, it you will love it and find it easy to use. Oh and all characters that are not active also gain LP so no worrying about that (they wont gain EXP however).
So basically its like a bigger sphere grid but istead it bieng an a sphere thing its on like a chekerd board lookin thingy???either way it seems like a good thing an it seems like another game im going to be geting really into an play days on end. =)
im to cool for sigs.
Krunal, thanks for the FAQ, that help me at first.
James16, I think Sphere Grid is bigger than License Board. Same as Sphere grid but no stat nodes.

Sphere Grid is certainly bigger! I've actually started working on a License Board with the english translations instead of the Japanese ones, nodes such as 'Ether Knowledge 1' have been renamed 'Ether Lore 1' and still does the same thing. That version will take a week or two more to complete and when it is complete I'll update the FAQ. The Text file will be updated sometime today with the english names.
I'm glad you all have liked it, as I've created it for the sole purpose of making it easier for you to see what you'll be doing in the game. ^^
From what I've read in EGM, it sounds like the license board is pretty much a dumbed down version of the Sphere grid, which is a shame. Something equally or more complex would've been welcome.
Actually from what I've heard, the license board has alot more customization than the sphere grid.
It does have a lot more customization.Actually from what I've heard, the license board has alot more customization than the sphere grid.
The exact quote was "The License Board enables you to completely customize your fighters' abilities, but it's nothing more than a rehash of FFX's Sphere Grid, only far more vague and less user-friendly." It also says that "everyone has an even playing field with identical boards." One of my favorite things about the Sphere Grid was that, in the beginning, you had a specific path you more or less had to follow for each character, but once you progressed further you could branch out and teach them more powerful skills; Yuna was a white mage and summoner most of the game, but eventually you could branch her out to black magic and so forth. I think I prefer that to complete freedom with each character, but neither is especially a bad thing.
I love my Sphere Grid, and I'd take that exact system again. I also enjoyed that they were locked into a "Job" for most of the game personally. However, I can certainly imagine many people wanted a system that let them do whatever they wanted, so it's nice that they cooked leaned more towards that. Since I've already had my Sphere Grid once, I'm happy with the License Board and how it functions myself.
I've read a lot that everybody becomes pretty much the same, especially near the end...But similar to the Sphere Grid, the whole thing is up to you. If you really want only one person to be your "Black Mage," I guess you as the player can choose to teach all those spells to one person and then nobody else... Or so I'd think, since I haven't actually played the game yet and I hear it's somewhat hard, that may make you too unbalanced, but options seem to be there to me.
