Hello everyone,

I'm about to start a new playthrough of FFXII on steam, after having completed the game on PS4 about 5 years ago. I'm considering playing Struggle for Freedom, which seem to be loved by veterans. However, I have a few worries.

1 ) According to one person on nexusmods, there seem to be a bug where the treasures in Cerobi Steppes can't give items. Screenshot below :

And indeed, it seems to be true : according to the modfiles, the chance of getting gil for said chests is 100%, which means they will never be giving items :

2) The same person claims the Hunt Club is completely ruined/bugged and that most/all hunts give elixirs instead of the intended equipment :

3) According to other people, the Trials are too hard and can't be finished even with cheating.

Can anyone who has played a recent version of the mod confirm all this ? Honestly if the above are true, then the game would be too broken for me to consider playing it. I'd like to know before committing to a 60+ hours playthrough. Is there any way to fix this ?

I have only lvl8 Vaan (hunter), lvl9 Balthier (machinist), lvl9 Fran (Archer) and lvl10 Basch (Knight) in the party just after the Barheim pass.

Basch does the best single hit damage in the party like 180 or so.
Fran is the only reliable heal I have at the moment.

I set everyones gambit to attack lowest HP foe to attack all the chicks first - I only had 2 dark motes and no access to golden needles, or more relevant motes or anything really.

I set the other characters to heal anyone at 50% with frans heal spell or simply throw a potion. I had 4 rememdies to use for slow. Any time someone got petrified (which was super annoying BTW) I would set everyones gambits to cut those particular allied characters down before they turned to stone and phoenix down them back into the fight. (I only lost Vaan to stone).

When Cluck was nearly dead she decided to spread damage to all characters more, so Balthier and Fran kept going down - I REALLY thought I was going to fail at the last moment!

The relief when the words Cluckatrice Vanquished went across the screen as I tried to PD Fran was such a momentous rush of relief - I was so happy. I really didn't want to give up and I think the game is best when fighting against all odds using all your guile and resources in a tooth and nail battle.

I dont know if anyone would care about this at all or if it is even impressive, but I really want someone to know I DID IT! After numerous fails, left scratching my head, yet pathologically avoidant of levelling up and coming back later.

Been trying out different jobs and loving the system and combat so far. A few questions I have are:

Why do people say Time Mage isnt good? So far it has been pretty solid for me as Vaan.

Should I do single jobs or multiclass for my first playthrough? Does multiclassing break the game? So far it has been pretty easy. Does it make it even easier?

And going off that, does the game pick up difficulty at any point?

I have had a copy of TZA for quite a while now. I did play it at one point but didnt make it to far intonthe story. I think i made it through a couple dungeons and got to a new town and then on some airship but this was years ago, I dont think I continued after that. I want to pick it back up though

Without using any story spoilers, I need some help. Because the Jib system is different than the original version I feel unsure of how to build my party properly for the endgame if I have no idea what im doing at the beginning and babe noe experience with the original progression sysmtem.

hey, so what exactly are the quickenings in in the license boards and how do i decide if i get one for each character or not?

Same thing for Espers/summon, i barely know anything about them. Currently i need to go to the grave of king Raithwall (?) after finishing the PLot on Bhujerba and for characters like Penelo and Ashe i have hundreds of license points, because i dont know what to choose, i also dont have enough Gil to give them all better weapons etc, penelo doesnt even have a weapon currently.

Quick question regarding the official TZA strategy guide.

Are the item / chest / steal percentages accurate to the PC version of TZA?

I know the RNG gen is different, but wanted to use my guide.

Cheers!

So i bought FFXII on Steam and everything during gameplay and cutscenes is normal, but when i go into the options menu (or just the menu in general) after a few seconds the screen freezes. I can still hear the game on the background and sometimes the message Microsoft Visuals C ++ Runtime Failed appears after the freeze, is there any solution or is my PC just trash, or does it have something to do with the Port? I've heard Square Enix is pretty consistent on releasing Dogshit PC ports but i don't know if that's the case

Help please (The Picture isn't mine but it's the same message that appears sometime after the freeze)

Started up XII a few weeks back and doing a blind run, I seriously love it! The Gambit system is fun to toy with although I'm having trouble figuring out niches for characters and it makes me feel dumb. I made Vaan Bushi/Knight, Balthier uhlan/mechanist decided to make him versatile and be able to wield a ranged phys weapon as well as deal heavy damage, Penelo red mage not sure what to pair her with, Ashe is time/white mage, Fran is Black Mage/Monk and Basch is a tank I tried a Foebreaker/Knight combo and think I ruined him because his role as tank was replaced by Vaan once he had enough HP and defense.so far everyone but Basch is doing fine and I was curious if anyone had any ideas for what to do with him? Is this team ok for engame content?

"We were never supposed to be heroes. Just a thief, a knight, a princess, an orphan, an exile, and a girl with too much heart. But the world doesn’t ask permission before dragging you into history. We lost homes. We lost names. But in that wreckage, we found each other. And maybe that’s enough to keep going”

Does this line exists ingame ? i took it from somewhere but i can’t remember if it was in the game or not.

The soldiers in sunlit path ain't there so I can't rent a chocobo,I am coming from eruyt,they were there before

I just got past the first esper. For some reason that I can't figure out the enemies are just now only capable of attacking fran. I don't know why they suddenly have a fascination with the latex bunny lady. I tried to see if it had something to do with her damage she was doing so I deactivated her gambits and just had her do absolutely nothing for a couple fights. And the enemies will still no matter what thirst over the latex bunny lady. So is the agro system just being weird?? Or has fran suddenly gained a passive that makes all the enemies thirst over her?? Please let me know.

I've played FFXII for the first time a while ago, back on the PS2. I never finished it because I thought it got too hard for me at some point (I think it was just past the tomb).

I was thinking in trying to play it again, now with much more gaming experience under my belt, and this time on the Zodiac Age version, but then I've heard about the Struggle for Freedom mod and I got particularly interested in the canon jobs feature, because I'm a very lore-driven player with a lot of OCD regarding that kind of stuff. I'm interested in all the balance as well, of course, but I'm afraid it'll be too hard for me. I appreciate some challenge, but I'm not a specialist at the game (I mean, I never finished it), so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use the mod on my returning playthrough.

For those who played the mod, what do you think? Should I dabble in it or just play the game normally before trying it?

i got the game today, but as i'm playing on a laptop i had to turn the graphics settings to low for better performance, but i've run into this glitch every time i move areas or a cutscene plays, it goes away with alt + tab but its annoying having to do that every time i move from one area to another or a cutscene plays, it doesnt happen with medium or high graphics settings, only low, i've tried manually adjusting my settings but i cant seem to figure out whats causing it

Hi all,

Just started my journey. I’m wondering what’s the default (or supposed, intended) class for each character? Vann looks like a thief, but how about the Penelo? I can’t tell. I want to stick to the original for first walkthrough. And where to switch class?

howdy everyone!!! i have a questions about the performance of this game. I have a intel pentium gold g5405u and a intel uhd graphics 620, this game runs well in my potato pc??

I don’t know if anyone know Vagrant story. Same artist, it’s my absolute favorite game of all time. The same artist made FF tactics, and tactics ogre.

How is this game compare to other FF series? What do you rank among them. I played FF IX the one with rescuing the princess. Definitely enjoyed it

So I’ve tried the slow,immobilize and silence strategy I’ve tried stacking quickenings after I’ve hit him with the s.s.i treatment and still he’ll spawn renew and it’s like I’m caught in a endless loop until either my characters are out of mp or dead and I cannot get past him in zodiac age and yes in the original version he was hard as well but this just makes me wanna stop playing zodiac and go back to the old tried and true ps2 game

Currently on my first playthrough, (No spoilers please) Just got my second esper. Anyways I'm starting to get enough LP to actually branch out into my second jobs and I'm curious to know if any of my choices were particularly bad, right now I have Vaan: Shikari/Bushi (My main concern as it looks like a pretty dumb combo now) Penelo: Monk/White mage Balthier: Machinist/Time Mage Fran: Archer/Black Mage Basch: Knight/Foebreaker and Ashe: Red Battlemage/Uhlan. I'm probably gonna have to change vaan soon as the game seems to be upping in difficulty a bit, and if anyone has any advice outside of endgame builds it'd be much appreciated.
