![]() It reminds me a lot of how games handle now so I can see how it might not bother some people but it's disappointing for a gameplay-focused JRPG where you're analyzing a lot of information. ![]() I know DF says it's more consistent now but I just can't imagine the original handling like this on PS2. The input lag is noticeable once I hit the title screen and the frame rate and camera panning are noticeably choppy. Having ranged attacks from bow is nice for some situations, and the swiftness x3 from archer ensures faster cast times. With Penelo's high magic stat, she will decimate enemies. Only other option to do this is black mage / red mage so you can use flame staff, but I'd rather separate my offensive mages. Penelo - Red Battlemage (Archer) - natural combo here as Fire Bow can power up ardor significantly. 2nd job will be machinist or time mage, depending on what I want for Balthier.Īshe - Black Mage (Monk) best magic user in the game combined with tons of buffs and utility from monk, including high level white magic (holy) Heavily leaning on time battlemage though since I'd rather not give it to my white mage.įran - White mage - she doesn't have a great magic stat, but decent enough, and if there's one category of magic you can use with non-optimal magic stat its white mage - you want your offensive spell casters to be your best magic users. Both of these jobs will provide "swiftness x3" and both give some access to time magic. I believe I'll be taking time battlemage as his 2nd job, but there's an outside chance of taking machinist- I'll decide later. His low vitality will mean slightly weaker damage with hammers or axes, but he won't really be using them that often.īalthier - Uhlan - Balthier has top tier speed swinging spears, so he's perfect for this role. For lore reasons I would have liked to give this to Basch but his low magic stat was a roadblock.īasch - Shikari (will take Foebreaker) he has the fastest dagger and ninja sword animation in the game (actually he's great with pretty much all weapons) and this combo does not require any magic at all. Vaan - Knight (will be taking Bushi) Vaan has really good magic stat (3rd to Penelo and Ashe) and his animation speed for greatswords and katanas are top tier. ![]() The Red Battlemage, aside from having access to a few offensive and defensive spells, also gives Vaan access to some powerful melee weapons in maces and extra defense from handheld shields.Haven't reached a point where I can choose 2nd jobs yet, but here is what I've chosen and why. He can fit into other mage classes such as the White or Black Mage class, but the Battlemage classes are just too good to pass up. The Red Battlemage is just one of the many mage classes that is a perfect fit for Vaan. A combo with one of those in Vaan's hands turns an otherwise challenging battle into a very lopsided one for your party. From Ninja Swords, Vaan gets access to some very powerful katanas like the Masamune. The Bushi class is a sort of evolution for Vaan, if you made him into the Shikari class. ![]() Because of this, a Shikari Vaan makes some very nasty early battles easier. Aside from his speed, this class also gives him access to some very powerful daggers and ninja swords even early into the game. The Shikari class is a natural fit for Vaan. In the game's promotion, Vaan is presented as a street-smart scoundrel who knows his way around Dalmasca. Vaan's speed also makes for a great complement to wielding spears. Vaan could slide easily into this role, and is a perfect candidate thanks to his high-combo rate. The Zodiac Spear and the Holy Lance are prime examples. The Uhlan class is one of the best classes in the game to explore, especially since there are some strong end-game and mid-game spears to be found.
