All Mages?
i feel like i constantly need magic jsut to get past everyone and get from one cave to the next. are all your jobs mages? (im not that far, so their levels arent very high) every once and a while i try and switch it up but i just cant. it winds up being a waste of a pheonix down.

My 1st party was four White Mages, equipped with the Fire/Ice/Light staves, but I realised that was a bad idea when I was up against a boss monster that was immune to magic.
Four Black Mages would have been bad for healing, so that was never an option.
Red mages can use decent weapons and armour, as well as having enough magic to get me through a dungeon if I needed it.
My typical party usually consists of Luneth as a Red Mage, Refia as a White Mage, Arc as a Black Mage and Ingus as a Thief (because they look the best in their respective jobs), but I wanted to try having them all in the same job for a change...
Red Mages seem to be the best all-rounder (so far) and I suspect they'll continue to be the best choice through almost the entire game, at least until I get the final set of jobs, which I'm guessing will have the most powerful jobs to choose from.

In the first cave I went to, I took four white mages because just about everything in there was undead and just kept casting cure on everything. Wait, I may have taken one warrior cause of that sword you get... Can't remember too well.

Nah, I've already beaten the game, Im just saying I would not try an all-mage challenge as they kinda suck when it comes to dealing damage until you get Aeroga, and the like.

Red mages won't be as good later in the game when you can learn higher level spells. They kind of actually become useless. But they're great for the beggining when the rest of your characters are weak.
