i. Revision History

1.08 -- This is the final revision of this FAQ. No more information will be added. I am
still taking e-mails, however, and you can still host it.

1.07 -- I have added plenty of stuff, including monster info in the Jobs section, and added to
the appendix in the Secrets section. I've also corrected some errors that were
around. This will probably be the last update for a while.

1.06 -- A complete item list (to the best of my knowledge) is in the Secrets section. I think
I will work on spell quotes and monster data next.

1.05 -- I am adding a lot more info to the Jobs section, and now have locations for the items
of the Deep Dungeon. I am now working on a detailed item list.

1.04 -- Added some Deep Dungeon info, changed my e-mail address, and various other minor
changes.

1.03a -- Nothing added to the actual FAQ, but I removed my ICQ# and corrected my e-mail
address and web page URL. They have been changed.

1.03 -- Added a section on the Deep Dungeon in the Secrets section.

1.02 -- Added a poaching list, edited the Cloud section.

1.01 -- Corrected a couple of typos (the jobs section is actually legible), added the "Where
to find these files" section, and the Special Thanks section.

1.00 -- First draft.

ii. Introduction

Welcome. Over the past couple of years, I have gathered information about Final Fantasy
Tactics. That information, my love of the game and a bit of insanity produced what you now
see here.

A notice to players: these files contain many "spoilers" of the storyline, so be cautious.
The walkthrough section is in the order of the game, but the other sections have potential
spoilers from various portions of the game. If you have a question about a specific issue,
don't hesitate to ask me via e-mail.

If you wish to use any information contained in any of these files for a webpage, publication,
or any other form of media, you must contact me first.

---------------------------------------------
iii. Special Thanks

First, I would like to give a big "thank you" to all of my friends, who helped me immensely
with the statistics and many other things.

Thanks to Sergio Lopez, ([email protected]) for correcting some of my data in the jobs section.

Thanks to Matt Hobbs ([email protected]) and Kevin McCullough ([email protected]) for
submitting their poaching list.

And, thanks goes to Square, who has made another incredible game!

1. How To Get The Job Classes

you toward stronger warrior classes, while the Chemist class will take you more towards magic
and other forms of battle.

2. Job Classes and Abilities
---------------------------------------------

I will include, for each character's skills, the name, a description, amount of MP used, speed
factor, and Job Points required. I will also rate each on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being bad and
5 being very good.

Here is a guide to the tables.

Name: The skill's name.

Description: What the skill does, and the range, speed, effects, etc.

- Range: This number indicates how far away the skill can be used. Auto means
that the ability is centered on the user. The first number indicates how many
squares away the skill can be executed, and the height indicates the maximum
difference in height between user and target for the skill to be able to be
used. If no height is indicated, than there is no height restriction.

- Effect: The numbers are the same as with range, only this time it indicates
how many squares around the target that are also affected. 1 means that only
the target is affected, 2 means that the four squares around the target are
affected, and so forth.

- Reflect: This means that the skill can be reflected.

- Calc: This means that the skill can be used by a Calculator using Math Skill.

- Add: This means that the skill adds the listed status effects are added to the target(s).
In general, when a long list of status effects are possible, only a few from the list are
added.

- Cancel: This means that the skill removes the indicated status effects from the target(s).
Usually, all of the status effects on the list, (as long as target has them) will be
removed.

- Ground type: In Geomancy, this refers to the ability that is used when the Geomancer is
standing on the specified ground types.

- Trigger: This indicates what type of action triggers a reaction ability.

- SP: The speed at which the skill will be executed. Higher numbers are faster.

- MP: How many magic points the skill normally uses up.

- Speed: How quickly the skill is executed (higher numbers are faster).

- JP: How many job points are required to learn the skill.

- Elemental: This means that the skill has the indicated element.

- I may add some comments, they will be in brackets [ ] .

----------------------------------
2.1. Squire Classes

All of these classes' abilities consume no MP. They are all generally based on
physical attacks, with the exception of the Thief, Geomancer, and Dancer.

----------------------------------
2.1.1. Squire

No conditions for job change.
Weapons: Knife, Sword, Axe, Flail
Helmet: Hat
Armor: Clothes

Basic job for all units. The starting point to becoming a fine warrior.

Gained JP UP Amound of JP earned in battle is 200 5
increased.
---------------------------------------------
Move Ability:

Move +1 Increase movement range by 1. 200 4
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Squire's Basic Skill ability should be equipped as a secondary whenever you
desire to build your character's job levels. Accumulate is a skill that will get
you "free" job points, without any condition, because you can always get more
strength. Other abilities require you to do damage, or heal someone, etc. Also,
Gained JP UP is definitely a Squire ability you want on your warriors when level
building. Move +1 is also very useful as a move ability, to start.

---------------------------------------------
2.1.2. Knight

Prerequisite: Lv. 2 Squire
Weapons: Sword, Knight Sword

---------------------------------------------
[The Knight does not have move abilities]
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Knight is a well-rounded character. The class has a few weaknesses, but many strengths.
The abilities are not what you should consider; it's the equipment and reaction
ability. If a Knight is wearing a good shield, mantle, and has Weapon Guard equipped,
you have a powerhouse that can hardly be hit. The Knight's only weakness would be magic,
and you can lower his/her Faith for that possibility. The Battle Skill abilities aren't very
useful, but can come in handy. Keep in mind that the Knight is only useful when he/she is
right next to the target.

---------------------------------------------
2.1.3. Archer

Prerequisite: Lv. 2 Squire
Weapons: Bow, Crossbow
Can use shield, but only with crossbow.
Helmet: Hat
Armor: Clothes

Useful in preemptive attacks, the Archer is best utilized in high locations to
extend arrow range.

Charge +10 600 1
Charge +20 1000 1

Reaction Abilities:

Speed Save Raise Speed. 800 4

[Raises Speed by 1]
Arrow Guard Evade bow/crossbow attack. 450 2
Trigger: Bow/crossbow attack.
---------------------------------------------
Support Abilities:

Equip Crossbow Equip crossbow regardless of job. 350 1

Concentrate Cannot evade your attacks. If enemy 400 5
is in targeted panel, attack is sure
to succeed.
---------------------------------------------
Move Ability:

Jump +1 Increase jump elevation by 1. 200 2
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Archer is a good job class to use in the beginning, but becomes more and more
obsolete as the game goes on. Eventually, the bows just aren't as powerful as the
other weapons. There are some better bows in the Deep Dungeon, however. However,
the range on the Archer can become devastating as height increases. The
Charge and Concentrate abilities are definitely useful in other job classes.

---------------------------------------------
2.1.4. Monk

Prerequisite: Lv. 2 Knight
Weapon: None
Helmet: Females can equip a ribbon, males can't equip a helmet.
Armor: Clothes

Monks are warriors who train their bodies in the ways of martial arts. Their
battle ability 'Punch Art' drives enemies away.

of a monk.
---------------------------------------------
Move Ability:

Move-HP Up Recover HP as you move. 300 2
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Monk has some of the most useful abilities of any job. There's long-ranged
attack, healing, status remedies, even a resurrection ability. However, the Monk
does not have a lot of hit points due to the limited amount of armor. Remember
to keep your Brave level up as a Monk so that he/she will be stronger and have the
Reaction Abilities triggered more. Also, I recommend Counter for any of the Squire
Job classes.

---------------------------------------------
2.1.5. Thief

Prerequisite: Lv. 2 Archer
Weapon: Knife

---------------------------------------------
Move Abilities:

Move +2 Increase movement range by 2. 520 5

Jump +2 Increase jump elevation by 2. 480 3
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Thief's abilities are the only way to get some items that you can't normally
find elsewhere (Elmdor's Genji equipment, Meliadoul's Defender, etc.). Also,
Secret Hunt and Move +2 are useful abilities to have. The advantage to Secret
Hunt is that not only can you get great items from the furs, but you can also
remove an enemy from the battlefield, like those pesky reviving Skeletons and
Ghouls. However, the Thief has low attack power and low hit points due to the
weak armor that he/she can only wear.

---------------------------------------------
2.1.6. Geomancer

Prerequisite: Lv. 3 Monk
Weapons: Sword, Axe
Can use shield with sword

Move on Lava Move and stop over rocks. 150 2
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

What's nice about the Geomancer is that he/she can have a good physical attack
and decent defense, while having useful special abilities. Geomancy is magic
based on the current ground the Geomancer is standing on. It does a little bit
of damage (some attacks have elements) and they all add a status anomaly. The
status anomaly doesn't work often, but it is nice when it does. I wouldn't
recommend Elemental as a second ability, unless you're fighting on some of the
more useful ground types.

--------------------------------------------
Move Ability:

Ignore Height Jump to any height regardless of jumping 700 4
ability.
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Lancer is much like a Knight in equipment (although the attack for a Lancer
is better). The Jump ability has a few flaws, however. First, when you are
learning the Jump skills, you only need to learn Level Jump8 and Vertical Jump8.
If you learn those two, you will be able to jump at maximum range, and every
square inside that range. Also, there is no specified time when the Jump will
complete. If that enemy moves out of the way, the Jump will be unsuccessful.
As for the other abilities, Ignore Height will allow you to jump skyscrapers in
a single bound (literally). In any case, a Lancer is probably better than a
Knight.

---------------------------------------------
2.1.7. Dancer

Female units only.
Prerequisites: Lv. 4 Geomancer, Lv. 4 Lancer
Weapon: Knife, Cloth

Comments:

The Dancer's dances aren't very good at all. The MP and HP damage dances
hardly do any damage, and the other dances often don't work. The only thing
really useful about this class is the other abilities. Only women can change
into this job class.

---------------------------------------------
2.2. Chemist Classes

The Chemist classes focus more on magic and alternate forms of battle than
weaponry. Also, these classes can't equip armor, so they will be weaker than
the others, but their magic can make them more powerful than their Squire
counterparts.

---------------------------------------------

Comments:

The Chemist is a job class that just about all of your warriors should spend
some time in. The items are all useful in battle, and you could definitely
use healing or a Phoenix Down during the course of battle. The other abilities
aren't as useful, although Move-Find Item is what you will need to get all of
the good stuff in the Deep Dungeon. A note about Move-Find Item: The lower your
brave level, the better your chances are of finding a good item. This is explained
more in the Deep Dungeon section in the secrets file.

The Priest is excellent for healing and defense. Also, the Priest has a
great attack spell as well, which works well on Undead. You can use White
Magic as an alternative to Items for healing, and you'll get a good attack
spell out of it as well. Learn all but Cure 4, Protect 2, and Shell 2 for
training a Calculator. However, if you're looking for a good magic attack unit,
the Wizard, Summoner, and Time Mage are better.

The Wizard is a strong addition to any army. All of his abilities are useful,
but they are all offensive spells. These spells don't have the variety that
some of the other classes do; they are purely for attack. The Wizard does have
the highest magic attack rating of any of the jobs, so when you finish learning
the Calculator skills, change the Calculator to a Wizard, and give him/her a
Wizard Rod, Flash Hat, Magic Gauntlet, etc., and use Magic AttackUP. You'll see
some powerful results.

Comments:

The Oracle is an excellent support wizard. He or she will have to rely on others to defeat
the enemies, but Yin Yang Magic makes it an easier task. There are a number of beneficial
spells such as Paralyze, Sleep and Petrify that will stop your enemies in their tracks. All
but the HP and MP draining spells can be implemented in calculation, and are extremely useful
in that regard.

Comments:

The Time Mage's magic is quite powerful. Haste, Slow, and Don't Move can easily turn the tide
of a battle. However, like the Oracle, the Time Mage does not have much damaging power, with
the exception of Meteor, which is nice if you can pull it off due to its long casting time.
However, the other abilities is where the Time Mage is really good. MP Switch is excellent for
use on non-magic using jobs, such as Knights or Monks. Short Charge is an excellent (almost
necessary) support ability for Summoners, and is also very useful on Wizards. Teleport is also
excellent, if you know its limits.

The Mediator is useful in a couple of ways. First, Invite is the only way to get some
monsters in your party, and the only way to get some of those very rare items for poaching.
Second, it is another clsss that equip guns, which is very useful once you get some of the
elemental guns.

As for the abilities, several of them have a low success rate (40-55%, depending on Zodiac
compatibility). The only useful ones are Invite, Preach, Threaten, and Solution. Praise is
easily outdone by Ramza's Cheer Up ability, which has a 100% success rate. Solution is the
only way I am aware of to raise Faith, and it's success rate is 40-55% as well.

Comments:

The Bard is probably just as useful as the Dancer, if not more. The Dancer's attacks are as
weak as the support for your allies is with the Bard. However, Nameless Song, Last Song, and
possibly Magic Song are useful, but I'd say the only good thing about the Bard is Move+3.

Comments:

The Samurai is a warrior with excellent strength and good defense. The Draw Out abilities
give a lot of versatility to this Job class, and the Blade Grasp and Two Hands abilities will
make your Samurai very tough to defeat. The Draw Out ability will only work if you have
extra Katanas in stock, and there is always a chance of that Katana breaking. So, I would
suggest keeping 3 or 4 of the more useful Katanas around.

---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Ninja's attack power is very high. Complemented with a high speed rating and good initial
movement values, the Ninja can be a very useful character. However, it is probably best to
keep your distance if possible. The Ninja's weak armor gives a low HP amount, and so the
Ninja can easily be taken down by Magic or an accurate hit. With a high physical evasion
rate, the Ninja relies on dodging attacks rather than taking them, so you should probably
equip your Ninjas with mantles.

---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Calculator is hands down the best job class. However, to get a fully strong Calculator,
you will need to spend many hours getting spells and the Math Skill abilities. The way the
Calculator works is that you are able to cast any spell from the large group of spells that
have "Calc" in their description. Then, you pick either CT, Level, Exp, or Height, and
divide that number by either a Prime Number, 5, 4, or 3. Then, the spell targets all in that
calculation. This is explained in detail in my Calculator Strategy section in the Secrets
file.

As for the other abilities, they are excellent. Damage Split is probably one of the best
reaction abilities: it takes half the damage that you took from an attack, and deals it to the
enemy, and heals you in that same amount. Gained Exp UP doubles the amount of experience you
receive, a skill ideal for Cloud.

These are the classes that have special abilities that you can't find in normal characters.
This includes the special Squires, Holy Knight, Engineer, etc. All of these classes have the
typical Squire abilities for their Reaction, Support, and Move abilities.

2.4.1. Squire

---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The special Squire class is definitely better than the regular Squire class. Ramza can become
quite the powerhouse later on in the game with either a Defender or Save the Queen, and heavy
armor. I've had blocking rates of higher than 70% from any side with some powerful equipment
and abilities. Ultima isn't a great spell, but since his only ranged attack is Throw Stone,
it's certainly better than nothing. It does around 100 damage at normal magic levels.

2.4.2. Holy Knight

Examples: Agrias, Delita (Chapters 2 and 4)

---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Holy Knight is a very useful job class once you get the longer range abilities: Lightning
Stab and Holy Explosion. With a good sword, you can do a lot of damage with these strikes.
The variety of status anomalies associated with these attacks occur very infrequently. Keep
in mind that all but Lightning Stab are holy elemental, so they are more effective against
undead, and can heal your characters that are equipped with Chameleon Robes or Excaliburs.

---------------------------------------------
2.4.3. Dark Knight

Example: Gafgarion
Weapon: Sword
Can equip shield.
Helmet: Armored Helmet
Armor: Armor

Knight of darkness who lives without facing the light of God. His 'Dark Sword' absorbs
enemies' spirits.

Night Sword Absorbs MP with the power of darkness. Now 100 5
Range: 3
Effect: 1
Darkness elemental
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

While Gafgarion's job class is relatively simple, it's quite powerful. Since he can draw
health from his enemies while depleting it, killing him is difficult. His physical evasion
rate is only a bit higher than that on a normal Knight's, so depending on the shield and
accessory equipped, he can be approached physically. His Dark Sword attack is more for
depleting the MP of enemies rather that absorbing it; it does enough damage to totally
deplete an opponent's MP in a single use.

---------------------------------------------
2.4.4. Engineer

Example: Mustadio
Weapon: Gun
Helmet: Hat
Armor: Clothes

Comments:

The ability to use a gun is a very useful skill in any job class, but the Engineer takes it
one step further by having three excellent abilities. Leg Aim and Arm Aim are long range
attacks that, while having a success rate of around 50%, can immobilize or paralyze your
enemy. Seal Evil only works on undead, but has a higher success rate.

2.4.5. Heaven and Hell Knights

Example: Rafa (Heaven Knight), Malak (Hell Knight)
Weapons: Staff, Stick
Helmet: Hat
Armor: Clothes, Robe

Heaven Knight:
Assassin who controls the laws of nature. Buries his enemies with the forbidden spell 'Truth'.

Hell Knight:

Heaven Knight's 'Truth.'

SP: 15
Earth elemental
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

The Heaven and Hell Knights' abilities are not all that useful. They only do around 70-200
damage a hit, and hit randomly in the effect radius. For example, if you cast Asura, the game
will first randomly select how many times the spell is cast (up to a maximum of six times, I
believe), and the spell is cast in a random location in the five square panel (effect 2). So,
if you are targeting a single enemy with it, there is only a 20% chance of actually hitting
the enemy per casting. It's better to use when there are multiple enemies, or when you can
eliminate a square from the effect range by casting it up against a wall, or on a cliff.

2.4.6. Divine Knight

Example: Meliadoul

The 'Mighty Sword' abilities can destroy any piece of equipment, except for the shield. These
attacks are 100% effective, like the Holy Sword attacks. These attacks also do quite a bit of
damage, 150+ damage, depending on the strength of the sword that is used. Divine Knights
aren't as good as Holy Knights, but the advantages of Hellcry Punch and Icewolf Bite are
significant.

Comments:

The Holy Swordsman is the ultimate attack unit. Orlandu comes equipped with an Excalibur,
which not only gives Haste, but also strengthens holy elemental attacks, absorbs holy
elemental attacks, and has an attack power of 21! All of these factors can cause Orlandu to
do 200+ damage with his basic Holy Sword abilities, and more for the other abilities. He has
all of the abilities for Holy Sword, Mighty Sword, and Dark Sword. In fact, the game becomes
incredibly easy after you get Orlandu because he is so powerful.

Comments:

Temple Knight is an interesting job class. Think of it as an Oracle mixed with a Knight.
Beowulf also has some abilities that the Oracle doesn't even have. The combination of heavy
armor and a sword with magical abilities turns out to be a rather good advantage. A Light Robe
is fine for armor, as he will need MP for spells. However, his starting Brave level is low, so</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
he will need some training with Ramza before he becomes an effective physical fighter.

The Dragoner can't equip any armor, but still has a good HP rating. Reis will do a two-hit

Effect: 3, Vertical 0
SP: 5
---------------------------------------------
Comments:

Cloud is a good Knight with Limit abilities. To use the Limit abilities, Cloud must have his
Materia Blade, which can be found with Move-Find Item on the peak of the spire at Bervenia
Volcano. Finish Touch is an excellent limit ability that will be useful no matter which status
anomaly gets put on the enemy. The others do damage, some more than others. Limit works much
in the same way that Charge for the Archer does. If the enemy moves out of the effect range,
the attack is forfeit. This makes Omnislash and Cherry Blossom too impractical to use.

---------------------------------------------
3. Monsters
---------------------------------------------

Monsters are, in general, not very useful. The fact that they can't progress through the job
classes like your characters can make them very limited in their usefulness. Some have specific
useful abilities, while others are really not worth getting. However, the monsters you get in
the quests are probably the most useful.

A note for the abilities: any ability with a star (*) by it denotes that the ability only
appears when a character with the support ability "Monster Skill" is nearby.

---------------------------------------------
3.1. Chocobos

Chocobos have a number of special properties. First, by moving a human character into the
space the Chocobo is occupying, you can have that character ride the Chocobo. However, this
prevents the Chocobo from using any of its special abilities. Also, special attacks such as
Choco Ball and Choco Meteor are more powerful than you would expect from these monsters. A
chocobo feather is left behind upon death.

3.3. Red Panthers

attacks. However, the Vampire's Blaster and Blood Suck abilities can be very useful, and can
turn the tide of a battle. A skull is left behind upon death.

---------------------------------------------
3.4. Bombs

Bombs can be useful in plenty of specific situations. These monsters become certainly
devastating at higher levels, particularly when self-destructing. Also, their myriad of
elemental properties make them useful against enemies that use elemental attacks. Bombs leave
a flaming fragment upon death.

3.5. Skeletons

Skeletons are really not very useful. First, they are undead, so they can't be cured or revived
by any means. Also, their attacks, while element-based, are still weak and too small in range
to be as useful as other abilities found in monsters. Skeletons may recover a little to all
of their hit points and revive upon final death, or they may be destroyed.

3.6. Ghouls

Like the skeleton, the Ghoul is undead and can't be healed or revived. However, their ability
to Teleport and inflict various abnormal status upon your enemies makes them more useful. But,
they are still weak and not very practical for battle. Ghouls leave an empty shirt upon death.

3.15. Hyudras

While this class of monster is certainly fearsome to face in battle, they are not quite as
useful as the Behemoth or Dragon on your side. The Tiamat's hidden Dark Whisper ability is
quite useful, though. Usually, very high level monsters in this class will max out their HP
at 999, so if you need some tanks, this is the way to go. Hyudras leave behind three skulls
upon death.

This class of monster is really quite useless; however, a couple of useful abilities are Oink

Wildbows are so hard to come by, it may be too frustrating to use.
