Update 01

Welcome to the Final Fantasy Tactics Five Job Fiesta: OmniClassic!

to follow...

In the Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta: Classic, it's always a Natural run. That doesn't work too well with FFT, though, so my Classic run for the FFT5JF will be OmniRegular: Mixing & Matching of Legal Job Skills is allowed.

Also, in the FFV4JF, because it's also Natural, Classic assigns Crystals to the characters. FFT has no Crystals, so that's dropped.

So, how do the Jobs work in FFT's version of Classic? I'm glad you asked!

FFT has no real Red Wizard/Mage Job. Sure, you can fake it, but it's not really worth it. So, that Job is not part of the FFT5J Classic. Once Red Wizard/Mage is removed, that leaves 5 Jobs, which is the exact number you need. Lucky!

Here's how the Jobs work out. They're listed as FF1 Job -> FFT Job
Chapter 1
Fighter -> Squire
Black Wizard -> Wizard
White Wizard -> Priest

Chapter 2
Thief -> Thief
Black Belt -> Monk

So, in Chapter 1, you'll have at least 1 Squire, 1 Wizard, and 1 Priest. (Remember: The challenge doesn't start until Sweegy Woods, so you can use Mandalia Plains to quickly grind up to Chemist Level 2, which unlocks both Wizard and Priest), with 1 more character as any of those 3 Jobs.

Once you reach Chapter 2, you'll have all 5 Jobs, but you can freely switch which Character is which Job.

Speaking of the Jobs in FFT, it's possible to simulate Final Fantasy I's Class Change. Once you reach Chapter 3, you are considered to have completed Bahamut's Citadel Of Trials, and will be promoted to your new Job, as follows:
Squire -> Knight
Thief -> Ninja

The Final Fantasy I Black Belt being promoted to Master didn't really do anything for him, except raise some stats. Well, that, and slow the growth of the Magic Defense Stat. So, there's no real reason to simulate Promoting the Monk.

However, the Black and White Mages, are different! By restricting the Spells they can use before Chapter 3, you can simulate the difference between Black/White Wizard and Black/White Mage. Spell Limits are as follows:

Black Wizard

Fire
Fire 2
Bolt
Bolt 2
Ice
Ice 2
Toad
Poison

White Wizard

Cure
Cure 2
Protect
Shell
Esuna
Regen
Raise

Alright, now that that's out of the way, let's get this show on the road!

Welcome to Magic City Gariland, home of Magic and Flashbacks! We won't be staying long. I strip & dismiss a few of my starters, due to their low Brave and Faith, and recruit a couple replacements.

Mandalia Plains, our first battle of Chapter 1.

We still don't want to save Algus.

Did you not read what I just wrote?

Our next stop is Igros Castle. I forgot to screenshot this, and Mandalia Plains, until after I finished Sweegy Woods. Nothing much happens, except a small family reunion.

Off to Sweegy Woods. If Moogles are extinct, how can Summoners summon them?

Having a Wizard makes this run a lot easier. They're pretty good at murdering things.

I have no idea why they removed these from the PSP port. As far as I'm concerned, that, more than anything else, makes it inferior.

Ah, Dorter Trade City. The first difficulty spike of Chapter 1.

I guess we must.

We fail. I think it was that scream. What was that, man?

Shadow was a Priest for a time while I worked on unlocking it for Kestrel.

As vilkacis has shown, shit's on fire, yo.

Kestrel helping us survive. Yay, Kestrel!

Zeklaus Desert. That's 122° F for those of us who don't use Celsius. I guess that means it's Phoenix, Arazona. Well, Zeklaus might actually be cooler than Phoenix in the summer...
