Okay.

So I didn't spend today working very much, but I did put together what I think is a reasonably lore friendly party, but I also wanted to use every Job. Would love y'all's thoughts/critiques.

Vaan: Shikari - Black Mage
Balthier: Machinist - Uhlan
Fran: Archer - Red Battlemage
Basch: Foebreaker - Bushi
Ashe: Knight - Time Battlemage
Penelo: White Mage - Monk

Party: Balthier, Fran, Ashe
Party: Vaan, Basch, Penelo

I feel like it's a "canonically" dope grouping, and fits what I remember of the characters and story pretty well.

I read up on optimal party comps and such, and this pretty much ain't that for the most part, but I also read that TZA is significantly easier than XII (which was already pretty easy!), so I'm not too fussed about optimisation for first playthrough.

Second playthrough I will break the game.
