Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age / FFXII - Basic Information on Job Classes

What are Job Classes?

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age demonstrates a new take on a Job Class system. Each and every character has their own job class which allows them to either do well in some areas and struggle in others. The job classes also dictate specific roles that the characters can take while taking commands from the Gambit System.

Each character has a different set of weapons and armour. These define what kind of battlestyle they take. For example, the Foebreaker wields hammers, axes, and shields. All these weapons require the wielder to engage in close range combat. In doing so, he allows those who are unable to approach enemies to deal damage.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: So how do I learn skills?

A: Skills are learned at the License Board. This shows what skills your particular class can learn. Unlike before, certain skills are locked to certain job classes. For example, the Red Battlemage and the Time Battlemage can learn White Magick, but only the White Mage can master the Advanced Tier of White Magick.

Q: Can job classes share skills?

A: Some can, however they will not always have the same effectiveness.

Q: Wait, I heard that characters can now have two job classes!? How does that work?

A: This is one of the new features of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. There’s a new option called “License Board +” which allows characters to learn another job class. This opens a new pathway to combinations and gambits that can help you win battles.
