Using Materia to 'create' Jobs
I was thinking last night about ways to play FFVII diffrently and wondered about if I played through the game but give each character a Job/Class and only equip them materia that is relevant to thoughs Job/Classes.
E.G. If I wanted Cloud as a Paladin I would only give him Restore, Heal, Cover etc materia's. Or Red as a Black Mage would be given Fire, Bolt, Ice, Earth etc materias and so on.....
Do you think the game would be much harder this way? and what Jobs/Classes would you put the characters in and with what Materia set-ups?

I can't see it making much of a difference overall. The only difference being that you have to wait for a certain person's turn before you can heal/summon or whatever.
I like the creative freedom materia gives in FFVII though, so it's not something I'd bother with.

I usually create classes for my characters. Primarily I have in my average party:
Cloud: Summoner/black mage
Vincent: Green mage (status inducing)
Tifa: White mage/Monk (hp and mp materias)

It would be an interesting twist.
Aerith/Vincent - Summoner
Cloud - Warrior
Red XIII/Yuffie - Black Mage
Tifa - White Mage
Barrett -Archer type such as double attack and such.
Cid - Lancer
Cait Sith - Fuck knows

I'm just trying to sperse things up abit seeing as I've completed it many times using relatively the same sort of materia set-ups each time. Just wondering if it would be good using the flexability of the Materia system to actually restrict myself willfully to make things harder yet intresting.
Hmmm another one. Cloud as a Dark Knight, in his weapon; Added Effect-Poison/Seal/Mystify/Transform etc,...

By prioritising certain materia to a set character(s) you can get different characters to use certain materia for more strategic effect. Like a firaga-slow2-curaga sort of thing for instance.

I can't bring myself to stick to certain materia, I just love the freedom and flexibility. But If I had to have say what jobs my chars currently have...
Cloud: Warrior, he has mad attacks and tons of crazy power moves and stuff.
Tifa: Monk, She does massive damage as well, and has a lot of powerful moves.
Vincent: Sage, He is my summoner, white mage and black mage, so like in FFIII sage, he does everything MP related, including enemy skill.
The rest: I NEVER use them, they all have no materia whatsoever.

FFVII was the first RPG I played so i didn't do it. But know i sort of do that. Keep one charecter with Materia that doesn't harm your strength, HP (Cover, Etc). So i suppose that'd be a warrior. But i do that with 2 people and have the other charecter a general make. Fire , ice, Resore, Ramuh etc. So kind of jobs but not the traditional way

My Cloud is a warrior, has Death Blow, hit-all, etc.
My Tifa is my Mage, she covers Black Magic and White Magic, plus some Time
Vincent is my HP beast, I was doing a little experiment, and gave him all HP Pluses, by God, level 54, 7000+ hp

This would actually be qiute fun.
I'd give Cloud a warrior job and only give him Materia to increase his stats, like HP plus and MP plus.
I'd make Red XIII a Black Mage and only give him Magic Materia like fire, ice, bolt etc.
I'd probably make Cid or Tifa a White or Red Mage and give them power of healing and some black magic aswel. To be honest, I used more Items than Magic for healing near the end of the game, so White magic isn't too important to me.
Overall, Final Fantasy VII isn't really a "Job" game. It would be quite fun to apoint each character with particular Materia, but it wasn't really the intention of the game and I'd probably prefer to just do it normally!
