ninja
devout
summoner! :D

what are yours?
 
here's mine since no one else has replied

monk/ninja
white mage/black mage
thief/samurai
warrior/ summoner
 
Can we try to elaborate on why these are the best most used jobs please

Thanks
 
I always like to do a Mystic Knight with the double handed ability, if you get an elemental bonus you get x4 damage!
 
one question in early game or late game?

early game

physical -> Knight, Monk
magical -> White, Black

mid game

physical -> Ninja, Samurai, Dragoon, Mystic Knight
magical -> Time, Summoner, blue

end game

physical -> freelancer, gladiator
magical -> mime, necromancer

:P
 
Definitely I use a mime a ton. I've mastered every job with every character. So, I have all the support moves.

All my characters are Mimes. They destroy everything on sight. If I level them to 99, their HP and MP stats will be 9999 and 999 For all of them I am sure. I have mastered every Dark Art, White, Black, Time and Summon. Blue Magic is gay, so I don't worry about it. I have the Advanced version, not the PS1 version!
 
I mainly ran through this game with 3 major job classes I used.

Most of my fighters were Warriors. I think I darn near maxxed out 3 of my 4 characters Warrior jobs so I had a power-house fighter in the battle to knock some ass out. Then I had a White Mage so I could heal instead of relying on Potions and Healing Items all the time. I prefer the path of magic when it comes to healing.

Last of all I worked on my Samurais when I got a crap load of money I wasn't going to spend. The powerful to$$ attack helped me take down some big bosses I had been struggling with for a while.
 
Well, in my opinion, these two are the best (I'm still at the middle of the game):
-Samurai. They can gil toss and the most powerful weapon I usually got are classed as katanas.
-Monk. You don't need to buy them any weapons and you get two chance of attacks, so if you miss the first one, there's another chance at hitting the enemy on the second one. My monk (Galuf) has a lower level than the other characters but he occasionally deal a greater damage and the two handed Poison Axe wielder AND he (the monk) hits twice.

I made a fusion freelancer out of Lenna. I equipped her with a Death Hammer (or an axe, I can't remember) and she's the White Mage/Time Mage of the party so when the party's fully buffed, she can also deal damage.

I love the job system so much. It's great trying out new things.
 
I got questions. Does Red Magic x2 let you cast high level black magic twice?

And what is better, !Drink or !Mix?
 
Basically, I have tried to use all jobs equally.. but that never works.
I rather had useful abilities than jobs, like: Throw, White Magic, Black Magic, Terrain, Time Magic, Jump, Summon and Monk's bare hand power (forgot the name).
I just used random jobs in order to make sure that each job is mastered at least ones (aside of Mime...).

The best are of course the no job and the mime, as they are the strongest after you master a few jobs.
 
i think you can cast 2x black magics, but only the black magics that are available to Red mage.

I really like the dancer job. It's so awesome being able to heal (unless its a zombie, lol) yourself HP and MP wise :D
Hunter 4xattack is pretty sweet, so can Geomancer Earth abilty be.
 
most useful:
summoner
ninja
samurai
white mage

the useless ones i think are geomancer and dancer i never used them at all
 
Ranger is very useful. It lets you use !RapidFire once you master it and you can attack four times with one weapon. I also made all of my characters learn !Zeninage, an ability learned in the Samurai job class. Throwing gil is the best way to kill the pesky monsters at the Rift.
The ninja is also great, it lets you Dual Wield after you master it and it doesn't even take any ability slot for you to use the ability at the other job classes (or at least in the Freelancer and Mime job class).
 
My current party is as follows, about half way through the game:

Berzerker (w/2 Handed, War Hammer)
Summoner (w/!White)
Ninja (w/Counter)
Red Mage (w/!Blue)

The Berzerker class is much better than I remember. I stole the War Hammer from some enemy (can't remember which) but it has the best bat power of any weapon I own at the moment, and even though my party is around level 23, he can hit for about 1600 damage. 2 Handed helps matters enormously.

Edit: For the final few battles, I had a frighteningly boring setup:

Bare (w/2 Handed & Sslap, Excalibur)
Bare (w/!White & !Summon)
Bare (w/!White & !Redx2)
Bare (w/!Black & !Redx2)

I liked it though because all four members could attack fairly well if needed, and three of them could heal very well. It was versatile, and capable of massive damage.
