[quote name='blueshinra']This is one reason why I think there's too many jobs. In FFT, it was easy to have a character on one or two jobs and just stick with them. FFTA was bad with the specialization, but FFTA2 is worse.[/QUOTE]
I don't have a problem specializing characters with certain jobs. The problem is that I still only have only a couple weapons for some jobs, like Red Mages and Templars. I couldn't let them learn skills if I wanted to.
[quote name='blueshinra']Forgot that Beastmasters could do that in FFTA. In FFTA2, I use them for PITA enemies that cast annoying status effects. Pretty much ignoring Blue Mages, myself.[/QUOTE]
Still doesn't change the fact that they can't hit other monsters if they only have short range attacks, because they rarely stand next to each other.
[quote name='blueshinra']I didn't like the moogle jobs in FFTA much, so the ones in FFTA2 were to be expected (Nu Mou FTW). Chocobo Knights are pretty sweet, though it can take awhile to find their mounts. That and the Ranger are the best new jobs to come out of this installment.[/QUOTE]
FFTA had Moogle Knights too. They were like the worst fighters. Doubt they changed much. However, I always had a Juggler in the battle, for Ring and Smile. Their hit rates aren't as good, and when skills like Molatov Cocktail hits, it usually won't cause berserk. Gunners were also great. They had ok damage, but super long range and good status shots. Like jugglers, the status effects rarely trigger in FFTA2.
[quote name='blueshinra']I have at least one mastered Thief now. There is "Steal Accessory" (and "Steal Loot Lv. 3" does exist), but that's pretty much it. As an aside, "Steal Limelight" doesn't come in handy until you're as far into the game as I am.[/QUOTE]
Good to know Steal Accessory is at least in the game, even if Steal Weapon etc. aren't.
[quote name='blueshinra']I'm guessing you haven't yet run into the law where you can't be stolen from. Now
that sucked. I relied heavily on Illusionists for that battle

[/QUOTE]
I have, but Safeguard (Maintainence) is easy to get. So I had maybe 4 people with it, and I used long range for the other two.
[quote name='blueshinra']I like the law where you can't heal, but they'll still allow you to use the Regenera privilege! There's privileges to prevent debuffs, but I've only ever gotten the first one.[/QUOTE]
I've healed a handful of times so far, half of them on a guest character. I don't bother, since even Curaga does so little healing, I just opt to full offense.
I forgot two things.
You start with 0 MP now, instead of full. Makes your casters a little worthless. It's also broken if you use Matra Magic...
And Bad Breath only causes silence/poison/blind. Yay. It used to cause slow/confuse/poison/blind/silence/frog/sleep. Ok, frog was broken, but they could have left the others in.
I do like Rangers though, I'll admit. I can still frog things with Mirror Item =P
