Only other option to do this is black mage / red mage so you can use flame staff, but I'd rather separate my offensive mages. Penelo - Red Battlemage (Archer) - natural combo here as Fire Bow can power up ardor significantly. 2nd job will be machinist or time mage, depending on what I want for Balthier.Īshe - Black Mage (Monk) best magic user in the game combined with tons of buffs and utility from monk, including high level white magic (holy) Heavily leaning on time battlemage though since I'd rather not give it to my white mage.įran - White mage - she doesn't have a great magic stat, but decent enough, and if there's one category of magic you can use with non-optimal magic stat its white mage - you want your offensive spell casters to be your best magic users. Both of these jobs will provide "swiftness x3" and both give some access to time magic. I believe I'll be taking time battlemage as his 2nd job, but there's an outside chance of taking machinist- I'll decide later. His low vitality will mean slightly weaker damage with hammers or axes, but he won't really be using them that often.īalthier - Uhlan - Balthier has top tier speed swinging spears, so he's perfect for this role. For lore reasons I would have liked to give this to Basch but his low magic stat was a roadblock.īasch - Shikari (will take Foebreaker) he has the fastest dagger and ninja sword animation in the game (actually he's great with pretty much all weapons) and this combo does not require any magic at all.

Vaan - Knight (will be taking Bushi) Vaan has really good magic stat (3rd to Penelo and Ashe) and his animation speed for greatswords and katanas are top tier. Haven't reached a point where I can choose 2nd jobs yet, but here is what I've chosen and why.
