Favorite Job?

[Josh_R]

What was your favorite job in FFT for PSX, and why.

My favorite was Monk. The reason is because of Hamedo. When ever something attacks you, you get to strike first. This comes in handy in a number of battles.

This is not limited to jobs Ramza can use, this means if you are a fan of a special class(holy knight, enigneer, divine knight) you can use them.

Red Mage cause they should have put that job in FFT.

Other then that, Time Mage is probably my most used class in the game. Meteor? Haste? Slow? Don't Move? Demi? gg

Oh yeah forgot....Short Cast.

[Myst]

I loved using the Ninja. Ninja/Monk class was great if I remember. Well most things combined with a monk was good I think. Been awhile since I played.

- Im talking about the first FFT game. On the PS1/PSP.

How did you utilize the ninja and monk? I mean ninja with equipt swords seems to be best and you cant use monks martial art unless you have no weapon equipt right?

[Sharpshooter]

my favourite job for a physical fight would be a knight with the dual wield ability on
as for mages, black mage rules all, but igotta say holy was my favourite spell in the game

Knights=Geomancers>Lancers>Ninja

Of coarse i would always diversify my team though.

Basically every character would have similar skills though

Secondary skill: Varies, this would change per playthrough and per character
Reaction skill: (the one where you attack BEFORE they do, can't remember the name) or MP restore for magic users
Support ability: Dual wield for knights, Equip swords for Ninjas, varies for other classes
Movement skill: Teleport (always the most annoying to earn because i don't like actually using time mages, but worth it to ignore height and quickly advance around things)

Knights are just increadibly strong in this game and they can equip most anything. Geomancers are basically knights just with a better primary skill still but as good support skills. Lancers are strong and have good armor, thier attack range prevents counters but jump is only situationally good. Ninjas are fast and can always attack twice.

[Shikashake2]

Samurai, probably. It's abilities are some of my favorites to use, and I loved Dual wield with some of the stronger weapons, such as Masamune. Giving them martial arts is nice as well, makes for a decent (almost) cost-free, MP free healer who is still effective in other pursuits, especially compared to Chemists or White Mages.

HP is a bit lacking though.

[Selcopa]

Lancers/Dragoons, obviously for me. I did like Samurai alot as well though, good ole FFXI was a dream come true, making Dragoon/Samurai a viable job spec,

[kennedyfan]

I love using the Ninja class. Being that quick and that powerful is pretty cool

[Micar]

I always liked the geomancer but i never ever used it, like it seemed really cool but just too hard to level up and shit.

Man im gonna go get an emu and rom right now for this.

[maefreak]

For shear power for close cmbat I would say a knight and have him be able to wield two weapons. And for some reason O am obsessed with snipers. No matter what battle I love snipers or archers. I feel useless without having at least one.

Knights are excellent. The best is when you use the PSX glitch and get two excaliburs and equip both to Ramza. He is a Hasted, powerful motherf*cker after that.

[Henry]

Summoner, Ninja, Lancer, Knight, Bard, Dancer, White Mage, Black Mage and Holy Knight are my favorites.

[HUNK]

I would have to say that one you have the equipment on WOTL, Onion Knights are amazing! No ablilities yeah, but still the most ridiculous attack power.

I always found Beowulf's class Temple Knight to be very usefull aswell. And, with his snipe skill as secondary, mustadio is an awesome archer.

[Kyreaan]

...on WOTL, Onion Knights are amazing! No ablilities yeah, but still the most ridiculous attack power.

That was also a good one when I got WOTL as my second version.

I had a few favorites.
The first one that comes to mind is mastering the Samurai class, equip Blade Grasp/Two Hands/Move+2, and change class into either a Lancer or Oracle. The katana spirit abilities were based off of magic attack power, so an Oracle weilding a pole weapon with Two Hands ability was one of the deadliest combos I've come up with. Doing the same as a Lancer was 'I kill you. Here's some 999.' I've also done characters who mastered the Ninja and changed into a Knight with Blade Grasp/Two Swords/Move+2. This allowed Break skill done twice. Blade Grasp worked like a charm. It even caught arrows and bullets for me.
Then, there was the infamous Dancer combo. I did this with whichever regular female warrior. The first ability I got was Ignore Height. I followed that with Short Charge (TimeMage) and Invisible counter (Ninja). The idea was to start dancing, and when she ever got hit, she becomes invisible. The dancing doesn't stop. She keeps going and stays hidden from everyone. If you pick a different action, that's when she becomes no longer invisible. I loved it. I kept using the dance that changes status ailments. I was using Byblos if I wasn't using my Dancer.
There was also my FFT Bard Takes Away All The Fun combo. This is when I took magic spells with the Calculator class all learned Math Skill and placed Ramza on Auto. He either shot Flare or Holy (ended up stronger than Flare) and took out all the fun from the game. The Bard class had high enough magic attack that I never needed to worry about it. Later on, I switched back and forth to Summoner because of the espers and stronger magic.

[Illusion]

I like Dragons/Monks and pretty much tough, physical jobs. Although I do like Summoners alot, too.

[Rowan]

I liked being a ninja so I could learn the 'dual wield' ability, then after that it does matter what job you take, being able to equip two weapons and attack twice makes most job classes death dealers. I liked always having a gladiator and a templar in my party. Id say those are my two favorites.

[Antidrall]

I found the knight would absolutely rip apart the opposition if you gave him speed boosting equipment, speed save, Jump, and equip gun.

[Yuri3458]

I must say that my favorite class between archer and black mage. Those to alone being able to attack from far and doing crazy damage to the enemies.

[CrazedMonkey]

Lancer. I've had a fondness for spears, and the jump ability was pretty cool once you really got it going. Too bad you couldn't unlock Holy Knight, that would've been cool.

[Judge Magistrate]

Ninja, definitely a ninja, the doublesword technique is invaluable.

[HUNK]

The Onion Knight as seen in Version 1.3 is so epic. I wish she was a character in normal FFT.

It's just like the first onionknight, except her ability to use all weapons armor and accesory's takes up her primary skill, leaving all other slots to be filled by anything she's already mastered.

That's just epic!

On FFT:WoTL you can fight a battle with only onion knights and they all actually have abilities and they are almost unstopable!

Onion Knight + Abilities = Heaven.
(Plus I like having Armored Gunners, would be a great way to make a good Tanking chemist.)

[Michael Swayne]

I am not too far into the game yet. In fact, I started over because I got too frustrated. But as far as what I have seen so far, well, here's the list of what I have seen...

Squire, Knight, Monk, Archer, Chemist, Priest, Wizard, Lancer, Geomancer, Mediator, Time Mage, Summoner, Thief, Oracle

Out of these, my favorite would be the Chemist. I like how the Chemist can throw items at the other allies, where everyone else as to be right next to an ally.

I am really excited about seeing the Mime, Dancer, and Bard jobs though. I loved them in Final Fantasy V.

I will update and edit my post as I come across more.

UPDATE on October 24, 2011: Chemist sucks! My new favorite job is Lancer. I like how the Lancer can attack from a distance and Jump like Freya in Final Fantasy IX. It's too bad that to get the really good jump distances, you have earn SO many JP.

[Cyanist]

The chemist job can be lifesaving, but what to do with him in the meantime? I mastered one of my guys in the knight ability and turned him into a chemist, with the gun equipped he can now break weapons (if it's a monster opponent I use break power) from very far away. But now he can't be bothered to heal anyone. He's one bad chemist

[Rising Star]

Never underestimate the power of the Black mage

[Warrior of the World]

My personal favorite was the Lancer.

[Nas Lost]

Dark Knight(from the remake)

Lancer(from the OG version)

[TheLastAdventAuron]

I love the Cross classing, personally a Paladin with Ninja Double Sword ability is the BEST

[HUNK]

Personally, I don't much care for double sword... When you lack a shield and can't block stuff that really gets in the way. (Same reason I don't like using monks much..)

I mean, it's fine if you can buff them with protect and stuff but no shield is a bad fight waiting to happen.

I guess a good mantle can make up for it, but that's just not enough for me. I'm used to rocking my lancer with a feather mantle, abandon, and a crystal shield.

[IcyJJ]

Dark Knight is up there because I can have Ramza and my three created characters use Sword Magic. I love the Geomancer and their Nature's Wrath ability because I can counter attacks from up to 5 spaces away and leave status effects. I usually just run around with four dark knights, all with Nature's Wrath, and then have one with White, Black, Time, and Summon Magic. At this point, there isn't anything that can stop me.

Oh yeah, the 5th slot is usually a Blue Dragon so I can run around and blast people with Ice Breath.
