I always thought X was pretty obvious...

Tidus: Fighter
Yuna: White Mage/Summoner
Lulu: Black Mage
Wakka: Well, I guess you could kind of consider him a Ranger. Just a different kind of Ranger who uses Blitzballs instead of arrows.
Kimahri: Dragoon/Blue Mage
Rikku: Thief/Chemist
Auron: Samurai

Of course, they can evolve beyond those jobs but that's what they start as initially.

As for VIII, well that's a whee bit tougher in my opinion since they all have easy access to all types of spells and summons, so here's what I've gathered from their behaviour/weapons:

Squall: Fighter
Zell: Monk
Irvine: Ranger
Quistis: Blue Mage
Selphie: Thief

Rinoa is the only one that doesn't stand out as being really obvious to me. I guess going with the Final Fantasy sterotypes though she'd be a White Mage.

Sorry for going so off topic.
