Quick notes

Use the same job system across the main cast. Bartz, Lenna, Galuf and Faris share access to the jobs you unlock.
Follow each character’s connection to the crystals. The cast arrives with different motives: travel, family duty, lost memories and a pirate crew.
Let learned abilities define a specialist. A White Mage who has trained another magic school can provide more than one kind of spell.
Avoid rebuilding the whole party at once. Changing one or two roles lets you compare their value while keeping familiar healing and damage.

Use the same job system across the main cast
