Should I stress?

[Jonathanx221]

About leveling up a bunch of jobs? This games giving me a headache, I feel like I need to level up a bunch of jobs. It's driving me crazy. =[ It's kinda taking away my urge to play.

Yeah that's why i don't really like the job systems but X-2 had the best one in my opinion..

Look out for battles that give you high amounts of ability points, grind the hell out of those places, play the rest of the game normally and you should be fine.

Even if you only master a couple of jobs per character FFV didn't strike me as one of the harder games so you shouldn't be worrying at all unless you're a 100% completionist type in which case you'll be grinding for bloody ages.

You don't need to level up/master every job as most of them suck, the one thing you'll need to know is which job and abilities to combine to get a decent or perfect results. I myself didn't put much time on leveling jobs, I rushed through the game without any major problems, sure there were few challenges but besides that the games was fairly easy.

I know some would say you need to master some jobs to beat the game. You just need to know what to do for the bosses. It's just nice to Master a job.

Yeah I just recently found an enemy called Prototype. He gives me 500exp and 4 ABP, I thrash him with his own moves using control. He dies in one hit, it's like a ten second fight. =]

No I'm not a 100% completionist. I'll save that for a final fantasy that I enjoy playing A LOT.

And, as for everyone else's tips, thank you. I'll just hurry and beat this one. I'm just kinda draggin ass because it's like.... not all that fun. It's not one of my favorite final fantasy's.

There are quite a few battles which give a good amount of ABP for minimal to little effort. Besides, I much prefer each character having their own 'identity', so I choose a few jobs which all my chraacters master (Knight, Monk and Thief) and I give them each a few jobs that the others will never touch/master. But don't worry, throughout the game, you will master a few jobs without even trying, trust me.

[The Dark Crystal]

The only jobs I worried about at the beginning were White/Black Mage, and I had Bartz as a Knight, but as you progress the jobs get a lot better.

Here are my characters jobs, and I am running through the game like it's nothing! (If I can get myself to play)

Lenna= White Mage/ Summoner/ Ninja
Bartz= Knight/ Thief/ Mystic Knight/ Dragoon
Faris= Blue Mage/ Samurai
Galuf= Black Mage/ Time Mage/ Chemist

In my opinion you shouldn't fret. There truly is no real need to master EVER single job, just the ones that relate to each other. If you've played FFT,FFTA,or FFTA2,(even if u are talking about only FFV) then you'd know that mastering ever single job can be extremely grueling, so only stick to the ones that you want to play your characters as.

I poured 60 hours in tactics. It's fun, I love the fighting and leveling up in that game. But this game... AHHH BLEH. Ahaha.

I just wanna beat it and play 6. =\

(This post uses GBA version terms.)

Leveling them all up is the kind of thing you do after you beat the game. Only a select few should be maxed out.

From the Wind Crystal set, master Monk, Black Mage, White Mage and Blue Mage. You could also master Thief in order to get more speed in battles, and run faster in towns and dungeons. Monks boost your max HP for the Freelancers. Black and White Mages should be obvious. And master Blue Mage so your Freelancers can learn Blue Magic, too.

From the Water Crystal set, master Time Mage and though it might be hard, Red Mage. Master Time Mage to get a very important spell: Quick. And also, it will take a while, but mastering Red Mage gives you Dualcast, a spellcaster's best friend. Couple that with White Magic or Time, and you're set. You could try mastering Summons, but only three or so ever become useful.

From the Fire Crystal set, master Ninja and Ranger. Ninaj gives your Duel-wield, which is VERY nice for Freelancers. And master Rangers to get the most rape ability for Freelancers, Rapid Fire.

And finally, from the Earth Crystal set... well, none of them are necessary, but you can master what you want.

Of course, you may have already wasted countless hours on this, but at least I came close.

I admire the valuable information you provide in your articles. I'll mark your blog and see my friends here often. I'm sure you will learn many new things here than anyone else!

[Secret Weapon]

Yes you should stress it. You know why? I've mastered EVERY class, gotten all my characters to level 99, unlocked all of the secret classes (Oracle, Gladiator, Canoneer, Mime, and Necromancer (and have all their spells)) and have all the secret weapons.

Word of advice, fight this enemy called Mover near the last area in the Void right before you jump in the last portal to fight ExDeath. They give crazy amount of ABP like 199 I believe. You have to be quick though to kill them because they'll rez if you don't kill them all in a certain period of time & the fight will come to an end if you manage to survive. They can kill you because they can petrify one of your members with their Delta Attack.

If you need more advice, pm. I know everything there is about this game because I've killed everyone that would've been a challenge to me. ExDeath bores me now T_T
