Picking up this game for the first time.

I've actually had it for a while, but for some reason, have failed to play it.

Now, I have no idea which classes are good (DS verisions), any recommendations :O

Balance is the key! :gobo:

It's not wise to have four black mages, nor is it good to be all warriors.

There are some jobs that are basically part 2's to other jobs, like Devout is to White Mage. Some jobs I never used, didn't find them useful. Dragoons and Sages are great, as well as Ninjas.

Different classes are useful at different times. You may want to experiment from time to time, although generally a two mage-two fighter team is pretty effective. At different parts of the story the game makes it apparent that a certain job will be effective, and switching to that job temporarily will be quite helpful for a certain dungeon or boss.

Few questions.

Does Monk suck in this game?
Are certain people better for certain jobs? (Ex. In FFV Galuf made a better Fighter then Mage)

No, just make sure to cheek if weapons or bare fists do more damage

No, each job has cetain stats for every level.

Monks start off pretty good, start to dwindle, then get alot better when you get access to Black Belt. Although, they changed it so you get Black Belt alot later in the DS version, if I remember correctly.

And Galuf makes a fine mage. Admittedly I only make him a mage so I can get Krile to become a White Mage, but that is besides the point.

What in the world do Job Levels do for me? :o

They increase crit hit chance, number of attacks, spell damage and monks and BB bare hand attack.
