Knight
Your front units in tough battles, but however, all of your battle skills aren't very godd compared to the Holy Knight's skills.
| Required Skills | Recommended Skills |
Armed Guard - Block with your weapon. An easier chance of blocking | Armor or Weapon Destruction - A slight chance of destroying an enemy's armor and/or weapon, but usually does. However, let the Holy Knights do the breakings at the end. |
Equip Heavy Armor - Equip heavy armors to the units that cannot do so which will add more HP to your unit(s). | Equip Sword - Allows you to equip sword to the units that cannot be equipped. |

| Required Skills | Recommended Skills |
Concentration - It guarantees to hit the target; no miss | Any Charge Skills - Charge a weapon and increase its damage when inflicted |
Monk
She fights martial arts style with bare hands. She is very helpful in battles and can add strength to a unit if she in it. On the plus side, her skills are really unique.
| Required Skills | Recommended Skills |
Hadoken - Sounds familiar, eh? Just a long range attack | Rapid Punches - sufficient damage, but constrained to adjacent squares |
Chakura - Restores some HP and MP to the user and the adjacent units closest to you | Steal Beat - Allows you to attack before enemy does. Sort of a counter |
Raise - Restores full life | |
HP Restoring Movements - Restores some HP as you move around the battle map. Don't expect much from it though | |
White Mage
White magic is used as healing power and also for defending against evil.
| Required Skills | Recommended Skills |
Gaeal, Gaealga, Gaealja Magics - Restores HP | Alraise - Raise up HP to its maximum capacity |
Raise - Restores life, alittle bit more HP than Feather of Phoenix | |
Esna - Cure all abnormal status | |
Holy - Ultimate White Magic attack. Tends to be very useful towards the end of the game | |
Regenerator - Regenerates HP after it's turned on. It has a tendency to recast again and again when the unit is repeatedly attacked, therefore losing a chance to restore HP | |
Black Mage
Black magic is offense-oriented, the main pose of your offense
| Required Skills | Recommended Skills |
All Fire, Ice, & Thunder Magics - Your basic Black Magics which are very helpful if you get every one of them | Levitation Move - This allows you to move to the danger areas of the map without anything happening to you. This skill is immune to any ground related attacks |
Magic Attack Up - Enhances your magic attacks by far. It beates equipping with any powerful staff | |

She is able to manipulate time whenever needed. It is your decision to use this skill effectively.
| Required Skills | Recommended Skills |
Haste, Slow, & Stop - Main time spells. Stop is preferred before Slow | Higher Haste, Slow, Stop Spells |
Short Charge - Decreases your charge time for casting magic | |
Teleport - Useful, but it has a chance of failure | |
Flare - The Ultimate time attack magic | |
Summoner
Summons are the big and wild monsters, all good, that come to your aid when you call for them. Most of these summons have limited use, meaning you can only use them for a certain number of times. There are some minuses of their uses: They don't cover all the map, they are weaker compared to other magics, and the charge times take forever. The animation are very cool, but since it takes too long to use, try to avoid it and use it when REALLY necessary.
| Required Skills | Recommended Skills |
Faery - Restores HP. Good enough to rival Gaealga, with larger target area | Any Summon Spells - Collect all because these are very useful |
Bahamut - The most amazing piece of summon in all of the FF games, although, like the others, it can't cover the whole map and can't kill a full HP unit | |
Decrease MP use in Half - Probably the most useful skill to gain from this job | |
Thief
This character is capable of stealing almost anything you tell him to, but she has such low physical damage to others that she's not quite worth it.
| Required Skills | Recommended Skills |
Steal Heart - Charms your opposite sex of the enemy unit. You can't control a charmed enemy unit, but it inflicts a large amount of damage to the enemy, but takes some damage to your unit as well | Collect Remains - Allows you to buy some items at cheaper price after killing monsters |
Move +2 - Move further and capable of running away further | |
