Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles Jobs Guide

As a huge fan of strategy RPGs, I can tell you that Final Fantasy Tactics is seriously amazing. It throws you into really challenging battles, but it’s all wrapped up in a super dramatic and intense story. You’re trying to end the War of the Lions, so you *really* need to build a strong team and use all the different jobs and abilities the game gives you. What’s cool is that some characters have unique jobs, but overall, you’ve got over 30 jobs to choose from! This guide is going to help me – and you – figure out what each job does and exactly what I need to do to unlock those powerful new classes!

To get access to more advanced jobs, you’ll first need to level up other jobs. You must reach Level 1 with a job before you can move on to Level 2, and this pattern continues as you progress.

Time Mage

As a gamer, I’ve found the Time Mage class is really worth investing in, not just for its support abilities, but mainly to get the Teleport movement skill. Seriously, being able to zip around the battlefield is a game-changer! Plus, unlocking Swiftspell is huge for boosting my magic users – it lets them cast spells much faster. It’s a support unit that basically lets you mess with when everyone gets their turn, but those two abilities are the real payoff.

Ninja

As a big fan, I’ve found the Ninja to be an amazing unit! They’re super fast and can really cover a lot of ground quickly.

Mime

The Mime is a truly unique class. Unlike other classes, it can’t use any equipment or learn any skills. Instead, it just copies the last action performed before its turn. While it has the potential to be strong, it can be challenging to master. Learn more about the Mime here.

Okay, so if you want to get going with this, here’s what you’ll need in terms of character levels. You’ll need a Squire at level 8, and then a Chemist also at level 8. After that, you’re looking at Summoner, Orator, Geomancer, and Dragoon all at level 5 each. Seems doable, right?
