Current Events > What's annoying about Final Fantasy Zodiac Age is that the individual jobs limit

(+) Yeah! (+)

your characters' abilities. Basically only the timemage can have float or Hastega, so you'd have to waste an entire job just to get float to be able to avoid traps in dungeons. And you can't have all the party members have Curaja, Protectga, Shellga, you basically have to choose between making someone the healer, the knight, the thief, instead of having every character be all of those things combined. It's just an unnecessary limitation.

It's a good thing this version lets you have 2 jobs since that helps a little. Could you imagine if you were only allowed 1 job out of the 12, forever? It would be the first time that the international edition or "final mix" version of a game is actually worse than the original.

But otherwise it's an amazing game and this is just a small gripe.

Well, uh, you're wrong. The limitation of jobs is part of what makes job systems superior to the modern FF style of everyone just being identical characters with different limits.

games where anyone can do any role are brainless as fuck

It's far better for the change. It keeps me from having to use this (excellent) guide:

Now all they need to do is fix the absurdly easy difficulty (why up the damage cap and remove the spell queue without buffing enemies?) and it would be my favorite FF game.
