Final Fantasy 12 – The best Jobs for each character

Not all characters are the same in the International Zodiac Job System. And if you’ve read our Class Guide, Zodiac License Board, Zodiac Job, Gambits and how to build the best party, you’ll surely know.

Although you can choose any Job for your character, there are choices that are clearly more appropriate. And just like we did with the Guide to Where to find the best weapon in the game, on this page we’ll tell you concisely what are the best Jobs for each character.

However, take into account that does not exist a wrong choice, and you can choose any Job for your characters. However, there are some characters who have a natural tendency for a certain type of weapon or equipment, so it is natural that some Jobs are suitable for certain characters, whereas other Jobs are not so suitable.

With that in mind, we have some suggestions as to which Jobs you should choose for your characters.

Character characteristics

This is something we’ve talked about before, but before we talk about specific characters, it’s important to take into account some general aspects that can have a big impact on your decisions:

  • Vaan, Balthier and Basch are better with heavy combo weapons, and the Jobs that make the most of the mechanics of heavy combos are Bushi, Shikari and Uhlan. This also means that these characters are the most suitable to use the Genji Gear.
  • Ashe and Penelo are the best candidates for Mage. Both characters have the best magic stats in general, but Ashe is reasonably good with a sword, so she considers it a battlemage.
  • Vaan and Fran do not stand out in any particular area, but the Vaan is quite versatile, as it is reasonable in almost every way.

These strengths and weaknesses are important, but it is important to bear in mind that the natural stats of the FF12 can be easily overcome by using the appropriate weapons and armor. This can sometimes even be used to make characters even more powerful.

A good example of this is Penelo: she doesn’t have much physical strength, but she is extremely agile. This makes it a poor choice for an offensive class early in the game. But if you continue to bet on this character and evolve it, you can make it a kind of powerful tank, as it has extremely high agility that can be combined with devastating attacks.

The best job for each character in Final Fantasy 12 The Zodiac Age

Remember that, as we said before, there is no wrong choice. So, if there is a job or combination that you like, and that is working, and is supposed to be a “wrong choice”, there is no reason why you should give up that choice.

It is also important to take into account that these suggestions are only for the first Job, as the secondary Job must be chosen in order to strengthen the first Job.

Below we will provide a very basic description of each Job, and suggest which characters are best suited for the Class in question.

  • Archer – Deals physical damage from a distance, and the recommendations for this class are Basch or Fran.
  • Black Mage – Given that he is an offensive wizard, Ashe is definitely the best choice for this class. But Penelo is also a reasonable choice.
  • Bushi – Also known as Samurai, this warrior class uses Katanas to calculate their damage output, dealing damage with magic stats and strength. Therefore, you should choose a class balanced on these two attributes, making Vaan an ideal choice.
  • Foebreaker – Also known as Breaker, this class is Tank style and can absorb a lot of damage, making Balthier or Basch an excellent choice. In addition, they can also equip the Genji Gear.
  • Knight – The most basic offensive class, making Vaan, Basch or Balthier a natural choice, especially since the Knight can equip the Genji Gear.
  • Machinist – This class distances itself from the enemy, but it also has access to a good number of Technicks, making them a good support class. Fraan or Vaan is a good choice, but this class can be occupied by just about any character.
  • Monk – The typical warrior who uses only his fists to fight, also possessing some healing powers. It is the ideal Job for Vaan or Basch, as both characters have decent magic and strength stats.
  • Red Battlemage – A wizard with a little black magic and a little white magic, making Penelo or Ashe a good choice.
  • Shikari – An offensive class with the ability to tank. Vaan or Balther are a perfect choice for this class, and Penelo would also be a good choice (only when you are in an advanced stage of the game, as Penelo is a bad choice for this Job at the beginning of the game).
  • Time Battlemage – A support class with multiple spells. This job is more suitable as a secondary job, but it can be a good choice for Ashe, Vaan or Penelo as a primary job.
  • Uhlan – The King of physical damage in FF12, the Uhlan use spears to attack their enemies while launching debuffs, making Fran an excellent choice. In addition, it is also the only class that can use the powerful Zodiac Spear.
  • White Mage – Like the other classes that focus on magic, this healer is an excellent choice for Ashe or Penelo. But Vaan or Balthier can also be a good choice.
