What are "Jobs"?
Upon creation of a character, the player must select a class, or job. There are 11 different jobs to choose from, each having it's own certain job abilities and skills. Squaresoft has also implmented support jobs that you can use. For this feature, you have to go up two job levels each time you play. After you do a certain quest, your support job will be chooseable in the Mog House. However, the support job is different than your main job in a few ways. Whatever your main job is, your support job will be half that. No experience will/can be added to your support job. And, your support job can never become your main job.
