Trial Mode stage 99.
Trial Mode is a bonus mode made exclusively for the Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System. Using the save data from the game, the Trial Mode will load the characters and their current stats, which means if there are guests in the data, they will be loaded into the Trial mode as well.
There are 100 stages within the Trial Mode. After completing each 10th stage, the player can save their progress and receive a reward. Trial Mode saves and Game Data saves are meant to be separated, because if the Game Data is overwritten by the Trial Mode save, the Game Data will be lost. There is no shop accessible between stages, so the player should bring as many useful items as possible before starting the Trial Mode.
Stages
Optional means that specific enemy is not mandatory to defeat to end the fight, and is not even necessary for it to appear. For example, against the Ba'Gamnan gang, defeating the leader will end the fight instantly, therefore his allies are optional.

Development
The Trial Mode was added in the game due to a flaw in the original version of Final Fantasy XII where players who bother to unlock the game's best weapons, will find they don't have any strong enough monsters left to try their best weapons on. The Trial Mode was envisioned as a challenge for this very purpose. Hiroyuki Ito, the director of Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System, had heard that the bonus fight mode added to the Game Boy Advance version of Final Fantasy VI was popular, so he wanted to try something similar.[1] Trial Mode is specifically designed to be impossible to clear all 100 stages on the same gambit settings.[2]
