Haha I love that this is 100% accurate for either.

I would have upvoted you, but I'm out for today... That's what I get for browsing the Shard at 4am.

I love both of them and when I had first heard this I didn't believe it until I saw the basic similarities. I hope to play FF12 again once I get a PS4.

There's a limit to upvotes???

That's dumb.

Are you talking about the International Edition additions (like the Zodiac License Board) or the little changes from Zodiac Age (like the x6/8 speed)?

The point is to make upvotes more meaningful. If there's no limit then you can just upvote everything. If they're limited, then (assuming you hit the limit) those should be the 16 best posts you've seen that day.
