This kind of misses the point - Job/Classes are a staple of RPGs in general. What 3 did was introduce a system of interchangeability between those classes for each individual character. Which happened to be one of the most important features of final fantasy as a whole, since it shows up in pretty much every FF since 7, even if only as a micromanagement of individual abilities.
