Having played FFTA in my youth, a few weeks ago I just felt like playing it again. Now, I was wondering about the best jobs for my team and started googling, but that made things more complicated than really helping me.

So I hope you guys don't mind asking a few questions that might be considered noob-ish.

First of all: Does the job team members have when they're getting recruited have an impact on their power as that class? For example, if I recruit a human black mage are his black magic abilities stronger than a soldier who I then turned into a black mage?

I got that idea because I read a few threads about the best jobs and in some of them it said "recruited as job x/raised as job y". Does this mean that if I want to get the paladin/hunter combo, I have to recruit a paladin and then switch him to hunter?

Thirdly: Since a character can use the abilities of 2 jobs: Is it recommended to fully train the first job (in the aforementioned example that would be learning all paladin skills) and then moving on to learning all hunter skills or should I switch the jobs all the time?


And lastly: Seeing as you start with 6 clan members is it more useful to simply play with those or should I switch to other clan members I recruited later? I think the latter gives me a disadvantage, because the first 6 clan members naturally have the chance to gather the most EXP in the game?


I hope you guys can help me... thanks in advance!
