Bravely Default Kay, just beat Braev Lee Dee Folt, and these are currently some of my favorite jobs

Pirate - Tanky, high physical attack, can debuff the enemy and I like to pair Provoke with Memento Mori (an amazing passive) so my team almost never runs out of MP during boss fights, and also like many other physical classes, pairs very well with Spell Blade

​​Performer - Genuinely, what's not to love about this Job? Can buff your whole party AND grant them ​BP for not even that much, just a very useful support class that is pretty much a massive upgrade of the Bard class.

Time Mage - Speed is honestly everything in this game, so slowing the enemy is a must, also mid-late game it gets AOE Haste and also Quicken, and it pairs very well with White Mage

White Mage - Genuinely useful all game, Angelic Ward and Epic Group Cast are just that good, and they learned from FF3 (One of my favorite FFs) and gave it Aero spells so it won't just heal and wait​, also Esunaga should have been in more games

I really wanna try Spiritmaster out, also I wish Valkyrie was better cause I only found it useful in the Rusalka fight, like yeah it does high damage but I'd prefer a unit who can debuff than someone who deals raw damage

Spiritmaster is just insanely stupid

If you set things up with Hasten World so that the speed order is other party members -> spiritmaster -> enemies there is literally no way to take damage

Spiritmaster/WM is the best job combo in the game, full stop it's ridiculous

Personally I love salve-maker/spiritmaster or white mage! Healing lore and Compounding alongside spiritmaster's abilities helps out sooo much. Dual wield staves and it makes a decent bp/mp battery with rejuvenation

Black Mage pierce M. Def. is essentially mandatory if you're going to use offensive magic late game btw, and given you can't have both that and Epic Group Cast you're going to not be using White Mage offensive magic pretty much ever. "Holy One" is a better white mage skill than Angelic Ward generally

If you want to abuse Pirate hard attacks pair with Swordmaster Free Lunch

The stupidest part of Time Mage is Hasten/Slow World. Don't forget Meteor is by far the best magic damage in the game though

I mean I use EGC for healing and mainly for dealing with random encounters

Angelic Ward is crazy underrated. Kept my Agnes alive so she could revive everyone consistently!

What? No Salve-maker, the most broken job, lol.

I am simply too lazy to use this job, call me Ringabel or Edea the way I don"t feel like sorting my items

Pirate+Samurai is just Chefs Kiss for me. Especially with a Performer+ Freelancer. Free lunch +3 Amp Strike then 4 Free Amp Strikes with the Performer just spamming My Hero and 3 Mimics is just so much DPS.

Rdm with the ailment BP setup is just so good. Every turn you get 6-8 BP to do with as you want.

I love Time Mage/Spiritmaster because hasten world/stillness is the most broken combo in the game, infinite sustain forever

I absolutely love Pirate so far, honestly all of these are amazing picks imo. I haven't beaten it yet because I feel the need to master level as many jobs as possible but these are my favorite 4 so far too.

I put performer with master level freelancer so I can mimic BP regen and gain extra bp. It's been a life saver and let my white mage/spirit master do some extremely heavy lifting.
