However, his physical prowess isn’t to be underestimated, as he’s exceptional when using physical weapons based on strength like spears and greatswords. Despite being presented as knightly, he has the lowest MP, Vitality and Speed out of the entire party. The heroic Basch has great stats that propel him into tanking and physical combat roles. She can also steal if she happens to be in melee range which allows other characters to continue attacking if damage is important during a fight. Her move set works very well early on in the game, letting her function both as a healer and offensive caster. She also comes naturally equipped with some very handy default magicks and technicks.ĭespite underperforming in most stats, she does have the highest Vitality in the party, so pairing her with weapons that base their damage formulas off Vitality-bombs, axes and hammers-can be beneficial.įran starts with Cure, Blindna, Fire, Thunder and Steal. Her forced versatility does make her a great character to experiment with however, as she doesn’t suffer any caveats being assigned to a particular job. This makes her somewhat of a versatile character due to her inability to excel at any particular job. The ever-elegant Fran unfortunately bears not-so-elegant stats overall. While First Aid isn’t particularly useful, Steal is, so in order to maximize the chances of swiping loot, consider pairing Balthier with a job that uses a melee weapon. While the delays in animation don’t matter much, it’s something to keep in mind for players that want more efficiency.īalthier has the 3rd highest strength under Basch and Vaan, and his exceptional speed and quick melee combat animations make him the perfect candidate for wielding weapons that base their damage formula off speed like daggers, bows, ninja swords, or strength like spears and greatswords.īalthier starts with the First Aid and Steal technicks. Ironically, despite being portrayed as a gun user, he has the slowest gun attack animation. His magical stats are unfortunately quite low, so while he can perform as a mage, it certainly isn’t one of his preferred areas. He has very good combat stats, so he’ll mostly be standing on the frontlines either tanking or dealing damage with melee weapons. The self-proclaimed leading man joins Vaan in being quite a flexible close combatant. He starts with the valuable Steal technick, so jobs that stand on the frontlines synergize well for Vaan as he can steal while up close and personal. He also has a high distribution of HP and MP so he functions particularly well as a tank in addition to a damage dealer due to his great universal stats. He has very high vitality, and also bears the highest Strength alongside Basch. He has some of the fastest combo animations in the game with physical weapons, so he’s a great choice for any job that’s focusing on multi-hits for damage. He’s able to perform any role well, making great use of any job regardless of what he picks. This aspiring sky pirate is a very flexible party member! Vaan has the most even stat distribution amongst the entire party. While the game can be completed with any character playing any job rather comfortably, each character has a unique stat growth in addition to initial spells and abilities that make them naturally more efficient at certain jobs, especially early on in the game.īefore we get into the best options for each character, it’s worth noting that the use of a secondary job can outweigh the disadvantages a character may have, or conversely enhance their strengths, so pairing other jobs or secondary jobs recommended for each character will ensure players cover all ground! The Zodiac Age grants players lots of freedom over how they want the party to fight from deciding which spells to cast, to how the AI will respond to certain situations.
