Yes, this is also something I should have mentioned. If you ever get asked to save after a battle it means you are going directly into another one without any chance to level you forces up more. So if you can't defeat the next battle you are absolutely screwed if you saved over your original file.


I'm not sure if this is true or not, but for some reason I thought the fraction of JP characters get in the jobs of other members of your party when they take actions only happens on close proximity. I could be wrong, though.
The amount of JP you get is:

JP = [(8 + (JobLevel * 2) + [Lv / 4]) * M]
where JobLevel is caster's level at their current job
(can range from 1 - 8)
Lv is the level of the person performing the action
M is 3/2 if the caster has 'Gained JP-UP'
1 otherwise


Everyone else in the battle will also get JP/4, (calculated before Gained JP UP. So JP/8 of what you see on the screen)
