Original version had a better level up system than Zodiac Age. Bummer.

It depends on how you wish to configure your characters.

Basically, the original PS2 game allowed you to configure each character with exactly the same attributes if you wished while the Zodiac Age version only allowed you to select two skill paths out of twelve although it is possible to to have two or more characters sharing a skill path.

As an example, you could have a character start as a Black Magician then, later on, choose a White Magician or a partial fighter/magical such as a Red or Green Battlemage or you could choose a none magic class such as a Knight.

It must be noted that some so-called non-magic character classes did allow black/white/green crossovers if you could open up those attributes using Espers.

Hint. Don't assign your espers until you have at least four or five although you do have to assign one to open a particular path in the game, just make sure that the one you choose to assign that Esper too has little use for that skill path if any.

Personally speaking, I think FF12 The Zodiac Age is a much more challenging game than the original and it is fairly easy to set up most party members with healing abilities (eg "Cura" - heals all party members) without multiple job sharing and at the same time allow party members to unleash physical and magical (ie. Black and Green magic) attacks associated with their skills.
