License Board
In a similar fashion to that of
Final Fantasy X, FFXII has introduced the License Board. In many ways it's similar to the
Sphere Grid but the main difference is that the License Board doesn't have Stat upgrades, instead Stat upgrades are just earnt from levelling your characters in an odinary manor.
However the License Board does have Magicks and Technicks on it, but in addition to that it also has Quickenings and Equipment Licenses.
Before you can equip a piece of equipment such as a sword you have to by it's license, for example if you wanted to use
Zwill Blade you'd need to have purchased the
Swords 5 License. To buy a license you need
License Points (LP), and every time you defeat an enemy you'll get a small amount of License Points, usually between 1-6 for a standard encounter.
Quickenings are Final Fantasy XII's form of FFVII's
Limit Breaks, however these also must be bought on the License Board, like Summons once you have bought a Quickening no other character can get that Quickening. A Quickening Panel is usually in each far corner of the License Board.
