The Incredibly Complex License Board

[LunarWeaver]

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.
