https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Freelancer_(Final_Fantasy_V)

Freelancer begins with the ability to equip any weapon, armor, or accessory, but is otherwise the weakest job. Its main strength is that, as characters master and level up other jobs, Freelancer can equip their command abilities in its two ability slots, and gains most of their innate support abilities without needing to use up a slot for them. Therefore, Freelancer eventually becomes the most powerful job in the game

Mystic Knight pisses me off because there's not enough games that do what it does. It's a very simple fucking thing, I want to put a spell in a weapon, and when I hit an enemy, I want that spell to be cast from the weapon, onto my enemy. There's FFV, and Dragon's Dogma has a Mystic Knight with a similar thing but you put spells into shields and cast them by doing perfect blocks. I guess there's other games with job systems that let you do that, but no action games I know of

Ff dimensions 2 is not really the type of game youโ€™d expect. FF Dimensions 1 is basically a traditional pixel FF with a job system. You control two separate parties with their own set of jobs each (though they share the first five or so).
The one you want to try is the first.
Sadly its only on mobile. The game really
Needs a pc release with actual controls but I donโ€™t think its ever gonna get it.
FFD being better than FF5 is mostly opinion and up to you but Iโ€™d say its similar enough that any ff5 fan will enjoy it. It also has its own spin on certain jobs like memorist and youโ€™re heavily encouraged to level certain types of joh combinations to get fusion abilities.
Fair warning, up until the post game there is a limit on how many job points you get per character as they are mainly progression based and used to unlock the level cap of jobs in each individual character. By the end of the game you will have roughly enough jp to max out 4-5 jobs on each character, I recommend planning ahead at least for your first build. In the post game you can grind every job to max on every character by grinding the coins that can be traded for jp.

My favorite thing I do in any game with a facsimile of a job system is mix a Blue Mage and a Red Mage (or their equivalents). Niche spells that in the right situation take you all the way and an array of convenient spells that fit many different situations.
It's fucking perfect, the ideal combination.

The thing about Mystic Knight is that its not just elemental spells that work. Putting Stone on your blade can wreck some dungeons. I remember having fun with Sleep and Confuse as well (made me think of FFVIII since I always junction Sleep to Squallโ€™s gunblade)

That said its -mostly- only good for bosses in my opinion since you have to spend a whole turn enchanting the weapon.

NTA but I get his point.
I played FFXI for YEARS and YEARS, but I don't play it anymore. Guess why?
It's an MMORPG requiring a subscription. I played that game top to bottom, and I love it with my whole heart, but it changed over time. Games don't really do that; live services do. You CANNOT play FFXI in its true form anymore, it's time-locked to 2002-2012.

Thats the only part I agree with since private servers only partially replicate this, however, that doesnโ€™t mean the experience you had disappeared. It even changes your outlook on other games. Imagine being a zoomer or a frustrated boomer getting into MMOs with wow or ffxiv for example instead of everquest or ffxi, thats part of why I use the word pity

I see what they were going for with VI, with each party member representing one of Vโ€™s classes, but the result is that there were just way too many party members with not enough time to flesh them all out (I think Terra, Locke, Celes, Edgar, Sabin and Shadow are the only ones with any meaningful development). Thankfully, VII, VIII and XI went back to smaller parties with more fleshed out characters.

Thief would be better if stealing had a higher success rate. Thereโ€™s no reason to use Steal when itโ€™s more effective to just kill the enemy anyway.

At least in most FFs, Thief is a pathway into a far superior DEX class like Ninja though.

>Roll Thief in FJF for first job
absolute misery; you're cucked out of decent weapons until you can steal some at Walse Tower
>Roll Zerker as second job
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I legit think 4x freelancer with no job skills is better than 4x thief start just because your equipment pool is better

this one is really hard to recommend to people. if you recommend it to people that like ffv, theyll hate the platforming, when you recommend it to people that like platformers, they hate that the combat isnt braindead easy and they actually have to put some thought into team composition. really sucks cause i absolutely loved this game but not one person i recommended it to enjoyed it.

I just looked it up, and I much prefer Skeletor-voice.

i think 2x is just nice in general, ap gain is too slow for how many jobs there are

I didn't say anything about it being the best FF, just that it's FF in its purest form.

I would love for this and FF6 to get a 3D remake similar to FF3 and FF4.

Well I am happier with new stuff instead of remakes.

I had a thief zerker beast drag fiesta I finished after some pain
The thief got me a supply of early hi potions, genji equipment, mugging with chicken knife so it's not the worst, but item bot seems to be its ultimate fate

I also forgot, the flee command is nice to get through karnak fast or get past the walse basement devils, providing easy dodge capes
