Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs):
1) Which race has the most number of jobs available?
Humans have the most number of jobs in Ivalice for having 11 available jobs.
2) Which race has the least number of jobs?
The Bangaa. They only have 7 jobs available for their race while the Moogles, Nu Mou and Viera have 8 jobs each.
3) Which race are strongest in magic?
The Nu Mou has strong affinity to magic, thus, their jobs are all related to magic. They also have relatively high magic damage and resistance as compared to other races.
4) Which race has the brawniest physical damage?
The Bangaa are known for their relatively high HP, weapon damage and weapon defense. However, they are quite vulnerable from magic damage and has very low MP and magic power.
5) How many jobs are available in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance?
There are about 34 jobs all in all. There are also some jobs which are unique and cannot be used by playable characters such as Babus' Runeseeker job and Llednar Twem's Biskmatar job.
Tips and Tricks:
1) Changing jobs to a higher level job usually requires at least 2 Action Abilities from lower level jobs.
2) Remember to be flexible in any situation. If a certain job's A-ability is forbidden due to judge's law then change the job right away before the start of the battle. Also try to use antilaw cards if you have any.
3) Most of the time, a perfect battle party is composed of characters with completely different jobs.
Fun Facts:
1) How did the Viera multiply when they belong to an all-female race? That is one great mystery in this fantasy game.
2) The Dragoon, one of Bangaa's unique job is named after the European armies of the 17th to 18th centuries. They are mounted infantryman usually armed with carbine. The name is still used today by some modern cavalry regiments.
3) Ninja is the famous name given to mercenaries in feudal Japan. They are experts in stealth and martial arts and specifically trained for reconaissance and assassinations.
4) Contrary to many newbie players' first impression, it is not the Beastmaster who can capture monsters but the Hunter. Beastmaster can tame monsters but they don't have the skills to capture them.
Note:
All jobs are arranged alphabetically for easy browsing and quick search.
