I don't consider either version of the game to be inferior to the other. The mistake Square made with the OG was thinking that players would customize their character into specific jobs, when in reality, almost no one did that.
I've never played IZJS. While I'm a big fan of XII, it was never high on my priority list. When I found out this remaster would just be the jop system, I felt iffy; I'm so used to this freedom to choose and customize, although my characters did have specific roles in combat. The second job class makes me feel a whole lot better (although I would've gotten over the iffy feeling rather quickly).
To each his own, I guess. Even if you had specific jobs for each in the OG, you'd end up with so many license points by the end of it there'd be no reason why you couldn't fill out the entire board for every character anyway.
But I am excited for not having to navigate to the far corners of the boards just to everyone's quickenings. I used to map out where I'd get all of them beforehand, after my first few playthroughs. Like Penelo for instance: she's my mage, so I just got her last two quickenings in the rods, staves, and poles section.
Enough of my rambling. TL;DR, I'm happy with what we're getting. I don't feel that any version is inferior to the other.
Nice to see I can now have a wider variety 
. This remaster and IZJS are inferior!!
