This does not take into account the final party composition (i.e.: picking the best available character for each job won’t necessarily yield the best teams)Īrcher Thus, in most teams, they tend to take the jobs no one else would be able to efficiently cover.Īlong with each job, we provide the order from best to worst for how each character fares, overall, in them. Vaan and Ashe are somewhat of an exception to this, in that almost every job fits them due to their particularly good/balanced stats. These three things factored in together add to the simple fact that some characters are better at certain jobs (or certain aspects of a job) than others. Lastly, characters have innate abilities, regardless of what job you choose for them. Also, each character has different initial stats, which might or might not max out by level 99 when you add level-ups, licenses and gear bonuses. When assigning roles, know that each job has a particular stat gain through licenses and a specific skill-set.

If anyone wants to expand on this pseudoguide, feel free to use our writeups and/or what’s done so far. It’s a shame because I’ve really enjoyed learning the intricacies of the game, but enjoyable =/= worthwhile. The general consensus seems to be that anything works and that it is more about knowing what items (and when) to go after and weaknesses/gimmicks in certain bosses than team comp or stats. It doesn’t implement the mechanics necessary to contrast what’s ‘best’ from what’s not. I’ve come to the conclusion that this game is just not worth min/maxing.
