When I first bought this game, I thought it was necessary to level up all your jobs, but then FFT and FFTA taught me that you're fine with just using one or two jobs on each person and that you can even finish the jobs you started off with. So is FF V the same way? Can I have my Reina be a Time Mage/White Mage throughout the entire game with no problems?
In this game you get stat bonuses in the Bare class for every job you master. If you don't want to take on any of the optional super bosses in this game then you should be fine with a balanced party, though there are certain occasions where a particular job (like Samurai) makes a fight a lot easier.
These are the jobs I plan to stick with throughout the entire game
Bartz - Lancer/Knight
Reina - Time Mage/White Mage
Galuf/Krile - Summoner/Black Mage
Faris - Ninja/Monk
Is this okay?
I'm in the same situation, this is the first time of played the game and I've found alot of the jobs to be useless.
Also, Can a red mage use ALL the same spells as both white and black?
yes providing your black/white mages have learnt those spells and that you equip white/black as a second abilityQuote:

You're going to miss out on a lot of abilities that way, which are important to beating the game. For instance, Samurai's $ Toss is critical, and with all those mages, you're going to want the dancer's ability to steal hp and mp, not to mention that sword dance, IMHO, is the only real way to win. Plus, the Theif's Dash ability is imporant for crossing certain areas, and Mug will get you important equipment. Finally, certain Bard songs are crucial for certain dungeons.Quote:

Its ultimately your choice, but exploring all the jobs is part of the fun of FF5.
Well this is my 3rd time playing FF V and the first two times I played it bored the hell out of me because all I did was go from job to job. I'm really enjoying it now because I'm only using 2 or 3 jobs per character and all those abilities you mentioned I didn't use them at all, so to me they're not necessary(I didn't even use Requiem to beat the Zombies o save Golem)So far the classes I'm using have been no problem throught out the entire game
Ah, I see - well, if you've played it before, then I say go for it - it should be an interesting challenge. :p
Well compared to the first two times I played it, so far I find this extremely easy :D
