Ranger is a fantastic class, really. Especially since bows can crit, and do full damage from the back row. And the random effects from !Animals are pretty fucking GOAT. Nightingale can basically sub for a proper healer up until the late game.
Everyone always says it, but playing a 4 job fiesta will change how you feel about almost every job you roll, in most scenarios. For example, I never thought much of Geomancer, but I rolled it in a fiesta along with Time Mage and White Mage, neither of which have any damaging spells until the very late game. Having them spam !Gaia with their decent magic stats is actually a fairly devastating and MP-free way to plow through random battles. I'm in the merged world and I'm waiting for it to become useless and it's still not.
