Yes I also assign a main and a secondary Job to everyone and be stuck with those but to me it's not really a challenge! XD It's my playstyle! Hahaha!

I don't have rules on when to learn skills, the only rule is that every character has to keep his/her Job since it becomes available and until the end!

Most of my Jobs are initial though... So it's easy!

Bartz - Knight (+ Guard)
Galuf - Black Mage (+ Time Magic)
Reina - White Mage (+ Summon)
Faris - Thief (change to Ninja + Steal when available)
Reina - Dragoon (+ Blue Magic) (possible since she come late game)

Bartz is the only one having a single class but he is balanced by the fact that while the others keep weak/initial weapons (Reina gets the Healing Staff as any White Mage though), he is allowed Excalibur when it's available (sword of the main hero)...


"Bare" only intrigues me only if I can do it as a "Monk without Job challenge"... Bare and unarmed! Hard challenge but possible with a lot of training!
