FFTA2 First Impressions?

[Dragonsoul]

This is pretty great, !!!

Roto13, I have a strategy guide now, these are all the sidequests right? ...

Quests 1(277)
Quests 2(091)
Clan Trials(054)

Auctions

Level Up
Bazaar
Get Equipment
Get Items
Unlock Jobs
Master Jobs

...that's all the side quests in FF Tactics A2 correct? I just now created all Bazaar items available, it took 45 minutes or so, I'm about 17 hours into the game. I'll equip some of the new items and participate in some of the Quests 1 and Quests 2 stuff, to level up, learn abilities, unlock jobs, and master jobs. After doing this for a few hours I'll return to the main quest.

EDIT:
I have some question about the game please. In Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions I only levelled up Ramza and the first four non-story characters I got. I didn't use in battle any story characters or any other characters. With levelling up only 5 characters, I could get to the best jobs faster. I am thinking that maybe I should do something like this in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Maybe I should have one character from each race only?

Current characters...

Luso		Hume	Male	Soldier
Vilford		Nu Mou	Male	White Mage
Donne		Viera	Female	Fencer
Ostin		Bangaa	Male	White Monk
Zissou		Hume	Male	Thief
Simon		Moogle	Male	Animist

Adelle		Hume	Female	White Mage
Lawrn		Seeq	Male	Berserker
Gauche		Hume	Male	White Mage
Loshgoobi	Bangaa	Male	White Monk
Rhoald		Bangaa	Male	Warrior
Ransem		Nu Mou	Male	Beastmaster

Cid		?	Male	Warrior

Maybe I should have...
Three Humes: Luso(Paravir), Zissou(Ninja/Hunter), Adelle(Spellcaster)
One Nu Mou: Vilford
One Viera: Donne
One Bangaa: Ostin
One Moogle: Simon
One Seeq: Lawrn
One Gria: Haven't gotten one yet

Cid(what's his race?)
Vaan(Hume, Paravir)
Penelo(Hume, Spellcaster)
Al-Cid(Hume, Ninja/Hunter)

...I want to have as little characters as possible. Roto13, is it possible for me to have a situation where for each Non-Hume race I only have one character and this character is strong at all the high level jobs and I switch them when I feel like it? Or is it best for me to have 2-3 characters from each Non-Hume race? My characters are at level 16-17 right now, 20 hours into the game. I don't know what I should do if I get an option to get a new character. Your thoughts? ?!
