Explore the job system in Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Learn how to change jobs, the benefits of dual-jobbing, and how to create diverse and powerful party combinations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Characters gain access to their first job shortly into the game.
  2. 2
    A second job can be assigned to each character after advancing the story sufficiently by purchasing a specific license on the initial License Board.
  3. 3
    The ability to change jobs was added in later releases (Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and patched into PS4) and refunds all LP upon changing.
  4. 4
    All abilities, stats, and equipment are shared across both License Boards for a character's two jobs.
  5. 5
    Purchasing a license on one board will reflect on the other (e.g., Swiftness).
  6. 6
    This sharing can bypass the need for certain Quickenings or Espers that lock licenses.
  7. 7
    Choosing complementary jobs is important for versatility.
  8. 8
    Multiple characters can be assigned the same job.
  9. 9
    Party diversity is achieved through two jobs per character, balancing party roles, and picking synergistic job combinations.
Tips
  • Strength often lies in diversity, utilizing multiple types of arms, armor, magicks, and technicks.
  • Choosing job combinations that enhance each other is crucial.
  • Every job has access to Essential license, Accessories 1-21, Ribbon, and ten Gambit licenses, which are not detailed in individual job descriptions.
