Maybe in a year or two.
Edit: Seems the license board wasn't the only major change after all. You can now keep items and LP gained in Trial mode and bring them back into the normal game. Which is sort of cool (trial mode in IZJS was pointless) except that you can steal aBlood Sword A Karkata in stage 3 of the trial and that's one of the ultimate weapons.

Those chests at the start of the game still trigger me. I know they changed it in IZJS ( I think/hope), but what the fuck was that about? You loot some insignificant chests in the beginning and it robs you of one of the best weapons in the game later on? Ok.......
edit - Should also add that I did really enjoy the game. Played it twice with both saves clocking in 120+ hours. Looking forward to this.

Yeah, I have prime... two day delivery on it if I order right now?
edit: Bah, PS4 only. I'm still console-less. This may almost push me to it...

Well i picked this up today, 5th game i've bought since the PS4 came out...I remember how excited i was when the original FF12 came out (believe it was right around Halloween!). It was my 2nd favorite FF game in the series by a far magain (FF3 US #1, not counting FFT which is GOAT). I remember alot of complaints from people on FF12 which amazed me as it felt way ahead of its time and was very well done. My biggest complaint was character progression and everyone being the same fucking thing but that looks to be resolved to some extent so i am excited!
Haven't gave a PS4 game a go since probably Disgaea D2 came out (or was D5 the last, whichever) so feels good to sit down and play again. Have a fancy nice big screen and stero system i put in and haven't used once haha. Just got started and trying to decide on class; for some reason i remember damage getting capped (?), if so i assume faster hitting people might be better end game like dagger/ninja weapon users? Or am i thinking more back to FF3 days where you had to get the offering(?) and one other item so you could quad 9999!

Great remake on the IZJS system, the dbl job + shared licenses spots == WIN
already gone thru 40 floors on the trial, nothing's changed on it, I have a feeling that the final 10 floors have some major changes, guess I will see when I get there... I hope the final floor isn't changed too much, that fight was fun

Uh, having never played past a few hours, did I fuck myself by opening chests during the prologue?

Fucked no, in fact it may be changed.
It was some dumb shit where if you opened a chest early on you missed on a certain item(s). Zodiac spear ??

Ordered this through Amazon today because I forgot it came out. Also no one local has the steelbook

The Zodiac Spear remains in the game, but it's not acquired the same way. I've heard it's a hunt reward, so no more avoiding random chests. Never had to deal with it in ffxii's original iteration because I didn't make it far, but that sounds like it was annoying as fuck

There is no damage cap in IZJS/TZA, and the retarded chest/Zodiac Spear shit got nuked too.
And don't forget that every character ends up with two classes, so plan accordingly, especially if you want to use all 12 and not duplicate any. Personally, I'm going with:
Vaan - Bushi/Knight
Balthier - Shikari/Foebreaker
Ashe - Red Battlemage/Black Mage (or Archer if I force myself to use all jobs)
Basch - Uhlan/Time Battlemage
Fran - Black Mage/Monk
Penelo - White Mage/Machinist
Also, this is a really handy reference for the class boards:

If you have an Uhlan, you will definitely want a Zodiac Spear. It's exclusive to that job, but still much more powerful than the second best spear. It's also pretty easy to obtain.
There's only two weapons better than it; one doesn't count because it is a cheater weapon that completely breaks the game with a 1 in 10000 chance of spawning (from an invisible chest) and the other isn't completely broken but is pretty annoying to get, and even if you do get it it will most likely be at nearly the end of the game.

Went with pairings pretty similar to your (with Archer), but I went Wht/Time and Uhlan/Machine. I assigned them to characters along story lines, which I think is fine overall but I hear Fran and Balthier make bad Archers and Machinists, respectively. Whatever, though.
