If you just beat Kraken then I would suggest changing the Red Mage. Red Mages are kind of weak by around this point. Even if you keep him in about 2 dungeons Red Mages are near worthless with their lack of level 6 and 7 spells.

The Thief is a good choice with dual boomerangs and with a full thief/black set up. In the NES version with that set up I had Thief last me until the end of the game.

Scholar's begin to lose their usefulness around here now. They don't get better weapons until the end of the game, and have more mage stats then fighters, but need to be in the front to do their damage with books and lack spells to really be effective mages. I would change the scholar out for something stronger like a Bard or a Geomancer if you want to keep it more of a mage type job.

And Knight is always a good choice.

Also ignore Dark Knight completely. Their worthless until you get them a weapon, and your still a ways off from that. Till then their just naked monks with worst attack power.

Dragoon is a pretty decent job if you want more brute force. And the Viking is good if you want a solid tank, more so then the Knight.

I have a Warrior, Black Mage (he really kind of useless and I don't know why I'm still hanging on to him), Red Mage and a Viking.

The Warrior is always good and I always have him equiped with a Blood Sword. I really like my Red Mage. He has some decent enough white magic to cure everyone when needed and his fighting skills have been decent enough. Since I equipped him with the Excalibur and Break Blade he is awesome. The Viking is just a good tank...period. I'm happy with my group. I tried a few different jobs, but I'm sticking with these. The Black Mage is good for some higher black spells, but I'm not too impressed with black magic compared to good old hack and slash.

I liked me some mystic knight x2 caller white wizard action for a long time.

The mystic knights are pretty much sufficient for killing just about anything, so the two mages are on the whole, superfluous, but whitey had some nice offensive aero2 he pulled out (not to mention haste and cure4), and I just like summoners

(I switched to mystic knight x2 shaman warlock when I got those, but like leeza, the black magic just didn't impress me much. I liked Bio though)

Thanks Bahamut2000X, after just having beaten Goldor I'm already very powerful. I made Refia a Geomancer and Ingus a Dragoon. While Ingus is slowly catching up, Refia seems to have gotten 1337 skillz. Seriously, I didn't know geomancers would be this powerful on a high level. Especially know that I can by proper equipment for them at Duster. On my way to Saronia now, I have still a ways to go before completion.

I just beat the Salamander(fire crystal boss). Do I have the time to finish?

[Leeza]

Depends how much time you invest in playing it. I would think that you do have time. I'm not really sure when our definite cut-off date is. But I think there is still a good week to go. I'm not done yet either.

YAY

*finished finally*
I just needed to revise my strategy :] instead of trying to heal my warriors and let them beat away at DC, I just let them die and had my sages pound away with bahamut 8) Much easier.
