Job Combos

[SteahMeLee]

This game is very versatile in terms of customizing jobs, although it gives fixed classes and not a fully customizable system...

Of course as in any FF I assign each character a job class and he/she keeps it for the whole game...
But of course any class as a combined command that makes characters basically have two classes each...

Considering the fact that my party is mostly composed by story characters that have all a special basic class, the fun is to pair one of the normal classes with their special classes...

The only basic characters I use are Rad, Lavian and Alicia that are part basic part special but their job mechanics are the same as the basic ones... XD I'd use other generic units but there's not enough space in the party!


Anyway...


Ramza - Squire (Mediator)
He is the leader and he seems to be quite talkative, wanting to solve conflicts without bloodshed... Both many of his normal and special Squire abilities are based on words as they are the Mediator's Talk Skills.

Rad - Ninja (Thief)
Typical Ninja/Thief with Throw and Steal commands! It fits for Rad that is an ex mercenary!

Lavian - Black Mage (Time Mage)
My usual Black/Time Mage may be a little forced to be used with Lavian but since she was just one of Agrias attendants, she could follow the magical career as well as any generic unit!

Alicia - White Mage (Summoner)
The same as for Lavian, but the White Mage in this case, paired with the classic Summoner following the tradition of Dagger, Eiko, Yuna!

Mustadio - Engineer (Chemist)
The Ranger/Chemist combination probably originates here... Mustadio has the setup of the item expert (even when it's about finding rare treasures).

Agrias - Holy Knight (Knight)
Obvious, Agrias is a Knight and she shal have the Battle Skills command.

Malak - Hell Knight (Monk)
Although he is often pointed out as being some sort of "mage" I think his skills resembles KI and his theme is much oriental, so the Monk fit well both to be a good sub-class and also being a strong one, to make him quite stronger than he usually is.

Rafa - Heaven Knight (Oracle)
She is the opposite to Malak and so she could be a magical oriental combatant opposed to the hand to hand fighting of Malak! The Yin Yang Magic is also very oriental!

Meliadoul - Divine Knight (Archer)
She could equip crossbow on her own, it's enough to give her both a sword and a crossbow to be able to fight both in the short and long distance.

Orlandu - Holy Swordsman (Samurai)
The master of all swords only lacked the Samurai skills and the use of a Katana! He could have both a broadsword and a katana to use also the Draw Out Command.

Beowulf - Temple Knight (Mediator)
Like Ramza, he could be skilled in the talking art since he deals with dragons.

Reis - Dragoner (Lancer)
Of course she shall have the Jump command and use a spear, it's not even to explain why... XD

Cloud - Soldier (Black Magic)
Could is a cameo and has to be played as that with the Black Magic spells Lightning and Ice just like he had in Final Fantasy VII.
