In the older editions of Final Fantasy, you were only able to choose one class between your six character choices. The Zodiac Job system is the system that controls your characters' classes with 12 different possibilities.

In this remastered copy of the game, you'll be able to create and use three unique sets to switch between, as opposed to one. There are a decent amount of players I know who never touched this system, but it's another way to control and harness your strategies for battle. You can unlock more Gambits in the License Boards, but you'll start with two from the beginning of the game. Each Gambit has a series of commands or scenarios for your friends to help you in combat. Gambits are your ability to control your party members. Unlocking your abilities with Mist grants you the means to recover MP faster, summon allies, 'Quickening' (chaining button commands in order to chain multiple characters' attacks), and so much more. Those who can harness the power of the Mist are capable of doing extraordinary things beyond what Magicks and Technicks can do. This is the source of magic in Lvalice, the region in which FFXII takes place, and fuels all the living things of the planet. There are 21 different types of Technicks in the game that range from abilities like rendering foes vulnerable to an element or casting random Black magic against an enemy. Technicks are the skills you unlock through those categories. There are five types of magic you can harness including Arcane, Black, Green, Time, and White magic. These are the types of base magic you are able to use in FFXII. You can also open your menu to change between Attack, Magicks & Technicks, Mist, Gambits, or use your items. That means after every strike you make there is a cooldown period before you're able to make your next attack, but you are able to walk freely throughout combat. When it comes to fighting, you'll be using a timed, but free-form, combat style. Movement options include walking by foot, riding a Chocobo, teleportation from Save Crystals, or flying in an airship. You have the ability to interact with most of the environment around you and control the camera with one of your analog sticks. Final Fantasy XII plays from a third-person perspective in an open-world RPG.
