Evaluation: There's no kind way to put this. Oracles are completely useless (even more so than priests). Their spells just give the enemies various status problems, but take too long to charge and cost too much MP (whereas Geomancers have a longer range, don't charge, don't use MP, and still do the same things). Defense UP is useful, but that's about it. Stay far away from this job and prod it with a sharp stick.

Geomancer

Job Requirements: Monk lv. 3
Weapons: Sword, axe
Armor: Shield, hat, clothes, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

   Move on Lava             150  Can move on lava

JP to master: 2870

Evaluation: A lot of people pass off Geomancers as weak magic users, but they fail to realize that Geomancers are also good fighters — they can equip swords and axes, and use shields. They also have the Attack UP ability, which is really useful. Coupled with the status-affecting powers of their Nature attack, they're good in the middle of the game. After that, they rapidly become less useful, as geomancy does relatively less and less damage.

Lancer (Dragoon)

Job Requirements: Thief lv. 3
Weapons: Spear
Armor: Shield, helmet, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT

JP to master: 7060

Evaluation: I've always liked dragoons (and was disappointed to find no Jump materia in FF7), and FFT's lancers (a mistranslation; they were dragoons in the Japanese version) are just as cool. They have a great range with their jump attack, which never misses and puts the Dragoon temporarily out of danger. They also have Dragon Spirit, which casts Reraise when you get hit. I'm sure you can see the value in that. Dragoons are what Knights should have been. I recommend them very highly. The only downside is that they become pretty useless later in the game.

Samurai

Job Requirements: Knight lv. 3, Monk lv. 4, Lancer lv. 2
Weapons: Katana
Armor: Helmet, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT

MOVEMENT ABILITIES
   Walk on Water            300  Move on water as if land

JP to master: 7100

Evaluation: Samurais are pretty good; they're basically the next progression of the Knight and Lancer type. They're good fighters once you get Two Hands (learn this first), and Blade Grasp is one of the best (if not the best) Reaction Abilities around. Draw Out is innovative, but not all that great, as the swords have a tendency to break.

Ninja

Job Requirements: Archer lv. 3, Thief lv. 4, Geomancer lv. 2
Weapons: Knife, ninja sword, hammer
Armor: Hat, clothes

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT

MOVEMENT ABILITIES

JP to master: 3840

Evaluation: Ninjas are like knights in that their greatest asset isn't their learned abilities but their inherent ones. They can equip two swords (in practice, two Morning Stars; they're more powerful) and are REALLY fast. Throwing Shurikens is good too (especially Yagyu Darknesses), and so is throwing swords (buy Rune Blades, they do a goodly amount of damage when chucked). A note with ninjas: the damage estimate when you go to attack somebody is usually far too low — the first attack alone sometimes does more damage than the estimate, let alone the second one.

Calculator

Job Requirements: Priest lv. 4, Wizard lv. 4, Time Mage lv. 3, Oracle lv. 3

JP to master: 4510

Evaluation: Calculators are potentially very powerful, but they require a lot of time to build up. First of all, you need a lot of spells from the lower magic-using jobs, then you have to learn all the Math Skill abilities to make them truly useful. The problem is that Calculators are really pokey (give them an accessory that boosts their speed) and have a low magic strength. To remedy the latter problem, change the Calculator into a Wizard after you've learned all their abilities and set their second action ability to Math Skill. In this highly-evolved form, they can toast enemies around the battlefield or heal your whole party, without even having to charge or use MP! In other words, Calculators are great if you want to spend the time to build them up, but you don't need them to beat the game.

Bard

Job Requirements: Summoner lv. 4, Mediator lv. 4 (male characters only)

   Fly *                    1200 Can fly over terrain

JP to master: 3850

Evaluation: Well.... Bards really aren't that great. They've improved since Edward's day, but they're just kinda blah. Dancers are more effective, in my opinion. One cool trick with both Bards and Dancers is to equip Sing/Dance as a secondary ability and use it to gain JP quickly (since you get turns much faster than using regular attacks).

Dancer

Job Requirements: Geomancer lv. 4, Lancer lv. 4 (female characters only)
Weapons: Knife, cloth
Armor: Hat, clothes

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: DANCE

   Fly *                    1200 Can fly over terrain

JP to master: 3950

Evaluation: Dancers are much better than Bards, as their abilities work on the enemy, not you. You can give them various status ailments, and slow them down. And (if you earn a lot of JP), you can fly. Dancers work well with the Knight's Weapon Guard ability, as their Cloths have a VERY high parry rate (50%). You can also use Dance to build JP quickly (see the Bard description). Dancer is a good, not great, job.

Mime

Job Requirements: Squire lv. 8, Chemist lv. 8, Summoner lv. 4, Mediator lv. 4, Geomancer lv. 4, Lancer lv. 4
Weapons: None
Armor: None

NO ABILITIES — The Mime mimics every action that your other characters take.

Evaluation: Mimes aren't quite as good as you'd think. They only mimic abilities in the exact direction and range that they were originally used, which means they usually miss. However, if you use them carefully, they can be useful, as they could potentially double the number of actions you take. Try using a Mime with a Calculator — every spell the Calculator calculates, the Mime will repeat for twice the effect (of course, you could just make two Calculators instead...).

Special Jobs

All the special jobs have the same reaction, support, and movement abilities as the Squire job (which they replace). Therefore, I haven't bothered to list them, except for the Arc Knight, Steel Giant, and Byblos Jobs, which have different abilities.

Squire (Ramza)

Used By: Ramza
Weapons: Knife, sword, knight sword, hammer
Armor: Shield, hat, helmet, clothes, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: GUTS
   Accumulate *             A/1 300  Phys. attack + 1
   Dash                     1/1 75   Weak physical attack
   Throw Stone *            4/1 90   Weak ranged physical attack
   Heal                     1/1 150  Cures Dark, Silence, Poison
   Yell *                   3/1 ?    Speed + 1
   Wish *                   1/1 ?    Heals target, lose 1/2 of amt.
   Cheer Up (ch. 2+)        3/1 ?    Raises Brave
   Scream (ch. 4) *         A/1 500  Raises Brave, attack pwr, speed
   Ultima          10   20  4/2 N/A  Magic attack

JP to master: ?

Evaluation: Ramza's Squire job is just a basic Squire with some extra abilities, some of which are good (Yell, Wish) and some of which aren't (Cheer Up, Ultima). Note that Ultima can't be bought with JP; it can only be learned in a certain battle. Despite the extra abilities, this is still a Squire job. Good early on, but not later (except against Wiegraf).

Squire (Delita)

Used By: Delita (ch. 1)
Weapons: Sword, hammer
Armor: Hat, clothes, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: BASIC SKILL
   Accumulate *             A/1 300  Phys. attack + 1
   Dash                     1/1 75   Weak physical attack
   Throw Stone *            4/1 90   Weak ranged physical attack
   Heal                     1/1 150  Cures Dark, Silence, Poison
   Wish *                   1/1 ?    Heals target, lose 1/2 of amt.

JP to master: ?

Evaluation: Again, Delita is just a slightly-improved Squire. He only has one extra ability, Wish. It's a good one, though.

Squire (Algus)

Used By: Algus
Weapons: Sword, axe, hammer
Armor: Hat, clothes

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: BASIC SKILL
   Accumulate *             A/1 300  Phys. attack + 1
   Dash                     1/1 75   Weak physical attack
   Throw Stone *            4/1 90   Weak ranged physical attack
   Heal                     1/1 150  Cures Dark, Silence, Poison on self
   Head Break               N/A 300  Destroys target's helmet
   Armor Break              N/A 400  Destroys target's armor

JP to master: 2315

Evaluation: Head Break and Armor Break would be cool, but Algus is in your party for such a short time that it's unlikely you'll learn either one of them. Instead, give him some black magic (he starts with enough JP for the Wizard job to buy Fire, I believe).

Dark Knight

Used By: Gafgarion
Weapons: Sword, knight sword
Armor: Shield, helmet, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: DARK SWORD
   Night Sword *            3/1 0    Dark damage, drain HP
   Dark Sword               3/1 500  Dark damage, drain MP

JP to master: 1500

Evaluation: Gafgarion is cool, but he's only in your party for two battles (plus the intro battle at the start of the game). He's good while you have him, but I can't really comment on him.

Holy Knight

Used By: Agrias, Delita (ch. 2+)
Weapons: Sword, knight sword
Armor: Shield, helmet, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: HOLY SWORD
   Statis Sword *           2/2 0    Holy damage, causes Stop
   Split Punch              3/1 400  Holy damage, causes Death Sntnce
   Crush Punch              3/1 500  Holy damage, instant death
   Lightning Stab *         3/2 700  Lightning damage, causes Silence
   Holy Explosion *      4Dir/5 800  Holy damage, causes Confusion
   Wish (Delita only)       1/1 ?    Heals target, lose 1/2 of amt.

JP to master: 3400

Evaluation: Agrias is one of the best characters in the game thanks to her Holy Knight abilities (Delita is even better, but he only shows up as a Holy Knight in two battles). All of her abilities are useful, especially Statis Sword (early on) and Holy Explosion. However, later in the game, once you get better characters like Orlandu and Beowulf, she will see a lot less use.

Princess

Used By: Ovelia
Weapons: Staff
Armor: Hat, clothes, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: HOLY MAGIC
   Mbarrier *      30   25  3/1 0    Gives Reraise, Regen, Protect,
                                       Shell, and Haste status
   Deathspell 2    20   25  4/1 0    Cures negative status

JP to master: 1000

Evaluation: Well, Ovelia only fights in one battle, but she's actually a useful character (you wouldn't expect her to be, but...). Mbarrier is a great spell; too bad you can't control her.

Engineer

Used By: Mustadio
Weapons: Knife, gun
Armor: Hat, clothes

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: SNIPE
   Leg Aim                  N/A 200  Causes Don't Move status
   Arm Aim *                N/A 300  Causes Don't Act status
   Seal Evil *              N/A ?    Petrifies undead

JP to master: ?

Evaluation: Until you get Orlandu, Mustadio is the best character you'll have. His gun has a very long range, and Arm Aim is cheesy, but effective (it basically prevents one enemy from doing anything for a couple turns and works about 75% of the time). Seal Evil is only useful in certain occasions, but is a lifesaver then (it not only kills undead, but prevents them from coming back to life). Once you've learned all three Sniping abilities, Mustadio makes a good Chemist, as he doesn't need a separate ability to keep his gun (without the gun, he can only snipe 1 square).

Astrologist

Used By: Olan
Weapons: Dictionary
Armor: Hat, clothes

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: STARRY HEAVEN
   Galaxy Stop *****    20  All 0    Stop, Don't Move, Don't Act
   Accumulate               A/1 300  Phys. attack + 1
   Dash                     1/1 75   Weak physical attack
   Throw Stone              4/1 90   Weak ranged physical attack
   Heal                     1/1 150  Cures Dark, Silence, Poison

JP to master: 1815

Evaluation: Olan shows up in one battle, and you can't control him, but he nevertheless is ludicrously powerful, thanks to Galaxy Stop, which will paralyze most of the enemies on the board every time he uses it (I went a little overboard on its star rating). It doesn't cost MP or anything, and results in the easiest battle in the whole game.

Cleric

Used By: Alma
Weapons: Staff
Armor: Hat, clothes, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: HOLY MAGIC
   Mbarrier *      30   25  3/1 0    Causes Reraise, Regen, Protect,
                                       Shell, and Haste status
   Deathspell 2    20   25  4/1 0    Cures negative status
   Wish                     1/1 ?    Heals target, lose 1/2 of amt.
   Ultima          10   20  4/2 N/A  Magic attack

JP to master: 1000

Evaluation: Alma is almost identical to Ovelia, except that she has Wish. Again, Mbarrier is an effective spell, but you can't control her. I really thought she would join, too. (BTW, de-equip Alma of all her stuff before she leaves — you can't get it elsewhere). When she rejoins during the final battle, it is possible for her to learn Ultima from Altima casting it on her, although unlikely.

Heaven Knight

Used By: Rafa
Weapons: Staff, stick
Armor: Hat, clothes, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: TRUTH
   Heaven Thunder *     34  4/2 100  Random lightning damage
   Asura                25  4/2 200  Random fire damage
   Diamond Sword (ch.4) 20  4/2 300  Random wind damage
   Hydragon Pit (ch.4)  17  4/2 400  Random water damage
   Space Storage (ch.4)*20  4/2 500  Random damage, status problems
   Sky Demon (ch.4)     15  4/2 600  Random earth damage

JP to master: 3100

Evaluation: Rafa has one purpose and one purpose only. That purpose? The Deep Dungeon. With her low Brave level, she makes the perfect item-finder, especially when equipped with Germinas Boots. She also makes a decent magic-user thanks to her high Faith. Your best bet with her is to change jobs right away, as her Truth abilities really suck. Don't bother with them.

Hell Knight

Used By: Malak
Weapons: Rod, stick
Armor: Hat, clothes, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: UN-TRUTH
   Heaven Bltback *     34  4/2 100  Random lightning damage

   Dragn Pit Back       17  4/2 400  Random water damage
   Space Str Back *     20  4/2 500  Random damage, status problems
   Sky Demon Back       15  4/2 600  Random earth damage

JP to master: 3100

Evaluation: Take this character. Please. Not only is Malak the worst character in FF Tactics, he's the absolute worst character in any game I've ever played. He's like Rafa, but much worse. His Un-Truth doesn't ignore Faith like Rafa's Truth does, he has a higher Brave level (making him less useful in the Deep Dungeon), and he's just completely incompetent. Dismiss Malak as soon as he joins your party. Even a blank spot in your roster can fight better.

Holy Swordsman (T.G. Cid)

Used Quite Effectively By: Orlandu
Weapons: Sword, knight sword, katana, ninja sword
Armor: Shield, hat, helmet, clothes, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: ALL SWORDSKILL

   Dark Sword               3/1 500  Dark damage, drain MP

JP to master: 5800

Evaluation: From Malak to.... ORLANDU! Those are the exact opposites of the usefulness spectrum. Orlandu is by far the most unbalancing character I've seen in any game. He can kill almost any regular enemy in a single blow (healing himself in the process), and do severe damage to bosses. You could almost beat the entire game with just him. People complained about Knights of the Round being too powerful, but Thunder God Cid could beat them all with one hand tied behind his back — and he must have, because he has their sword. Excalibur just further adds to Cid's power by giving him an automatic Haste and also hitting really hard. The only reason you would ever not want to use Orlandu is if you were trying to roll up points for your other characters (but who needs other characters?) or if you wanted to make the game harder.

Divine Knight

Used By: Meliadoul
Weapons: Sword, knight sword, crossbow, spear
Armor: Shield, helmet, clothes, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: MIGHTY SWORD
   Shellbust Stab *         3/1 200  Destroys armor
   Blastar Punch            3/1 400  Destroys helmet
   Hellcry Punch *          3/1 500  Destroys weapon
   Icewolf Bite             3/1 800  Destroys accessory

JP to master: 2900

Evaluation: Well, Meliadoul's no Orlandu, but she's not bad. Her sword skills (which Orlandu also has) are cool as they break the enemy's equipment and never miss, but they don't work on monsters, which severely hampers her usefulness. Thus, she is only useful in certain occasions. Meliadoul would also make a pretty good magic-user, thanks to her high Faith.

Arc Knight

Used By: Zalbag
Weapons: Sword, knight sword
Armor: Shield, helmet, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: DESTROY SWORD

MOVEMENT ABILITIES
   Move+1                   200  Movement range + 1

JP to master: 2130

Evaluation: Zalbag doesn't really do much. He's only in one battle, and it's a very short battle (you can win it in one or two rounds). In fact, I only saw him do one thing: attack one enemy with his sword. He has some cool abilities, but you'll never see them.

Temple Knight

Used By: Beowulf
Weapons: Knife, sword, knight sword
Armor: Shield, helmet, armor, robe

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT

   Shock! *        20       8/1 600  Less HP = more damage

JP to master: 4190

Evaluation: One word for you. CHICKEN!!!!! Beowulf is basically an Oracle on steroids — he has similar abilities, but they don't have to charge. Also, Beowulf is a good fighter (especially with an Excalibur) with a fair amount of HP. Those attributes are totally irrelevant, however, when faced with the mighty power of Chicken. Chicken will cause an enemy to lose FIFTY BRAVE and works 70%–100% of the time! And it only costs 12 MP! Furthermore, if you reduce an enemy's Brave below 10, they'll turn into a chicken and run into a corner, regaining 1 Brave each turn, until they get back up to 10 Brave. This ability is essential in the Deep Dungeon, and extremely useful everywhere else. Top that off with Break (petrifies enemies; works most of the time!) and Shock (a potentially very strong spell and it has a great range) and you have the second-best character in the game (after T.G. Cid). Never underestimate the power of Beowulf.

Steel Giant

Used By: Worker 8
Weapons: None
Armor: None
Worker 8 has the inherent Any Ground and Any Weather abilities and cannot enter water.

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: WORK
   Destroy                  1/1 0    Physical attack
   Compress                 1/1 0    Instant death attack
   Dispose *                8/1 0    Physical attack
   Crush                    1/1 0    Physical attack

REACTION ABILITIES
   Counter   Automatically equipped — Counter-attack when attacked

SUPPORT ABILITIES
   Defense UP   Automatically equipped — Lowers phys. attack damage

JP to master: 0

Evaluation: I don't know why nobody likes Worker 8; I think he's great. Sure, he can't change jobs, and his abilities do consume some of his HP, but he's still really powerful. His Dispose attack has a range of 8 panels. He also has NO Faith (as he is a robot), which means that he is nearly impervious to magic. His physical attack is very strong as well. He's not Orlandu, but he certainly deserves a place on your team.

Holy Dragon

Used By: Reis (dragon form)
Weapons: None
Armor: None

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: BREATH
   Ice Bracelet             2/1 0    Ice attack
   Fire Bracelet            2/1 0    Fire attack
   Thndr Brcelet            2/1 0    Thunder attack

JP to master: 0

Evaluation: I can't really evaluate this job very well as Reis is not a dragon for very long. Her three breath attacks are powerful and she has a lot of HP. In some ways, she's actually more useful as a dragon.

Dragoner

Used By: Reis (after transformation)
Weapons: None
Armor: Ribbon
Reis attacks twice and has inherent Train and Monster Skill abilities.

Note: Reis can equip Bags, not because of her jobs, but just because she's a woman.

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: DRAGON
   Ice Bracelet *           2/1 0    Ice attack
   Fire Bracelet *          2/1 0    Fire attack
   Thndr Brcelet *          2/1 0    Thunder attack
   Dragon Tame *            2/1 300  Dragon joins party
   Dragon Care              2/1 300  Heals + cures dragon
   Dragon PowerUp           2/1 400  Raises dragon's stats
   Dragon LevelUp           2/1 400  Raises dragon's CT
   Holy Bracelet            4/3 900  Random holy damage

JP to master: 2300

Evaluation: Reis keeps her breath attacks in her human form, which are still her best attacks. The four Dragon abilities only affect dragons, and thus have a limited use. One trick is to use Dragon Tame to recruit dragons to help you in one battle (and also save you from fighting them), but don't add them to your party at the end of the battle. Reis can attack twice (as if she were a Ninja), and her attack randomly invites enemies (dragon or otherwise). Reis is really slow, however, and has a slow move range, so she almost never gets to hit. She's generally worthless and second only to Malak as the crummiest character. If you do want to use her, change her to another job that can use equipment and set her Dragon abilities as a secondary ability.

Soldier

Used By: Cloud
Weapons: Sword
Armor: Hat, ribbon, clothes

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: LIMIT
   Braver               34  2/1 150  Physical attack
   Cross-slash *        25  2/2 200  Magic attack
   Blade Beam *         20  2/1 250  Less HP = more damage
   Climhazzard          15  2/1 450  Target: less HP = more damage
   Meteorain            10  3/3 560  Magic attack
   Finish Touch *       20  3/2 670  Causes Dead, Petrify, Stop
   Omnislash            7   3/3 900  Magic attack
   Cherry Blossom       5   3/3 1200 Magic attack

JP to master: 4380

Evaluation: For being a hidden character, Cloud could be better. His Limit Breaks take forever to charge, and they can only target panels, so the enemy will just move away. Give him the Time Mage's Short Charge ability to make up for this. Even with that, he himself is slow, and his attack is weak (since he has to equip the cruddy Materia Blade in order to use his limit breaks). Finish Touch is very powerful, though — it petrifies or kills enemies, and can hit a whole group. Cloud starts at level 1, which means that you'll have to spend a lot of time bringing him up to snuff. Personally, I don't think it's worth the trouble, but other people seem to like him.

Byblos

Used By: The Byblos (name varies)
Weapons: None
Armor: None
Byblos ignores height and cannot enter water. It also poaches any monster it kills.

                MP   SPD  R  JP   EFFECT
             ----------------------------------

ACTION ABILITIES: BYBLOS

   Shock                    5/1 0    Less HP = more damage
   Difference               5/1 0    Changes target's MP to
                                      the amount of damage dealt
                                      to enemies

REACTION ABILITIES
   Counter   Automatically equipped — Counter-attack when attacked

JP to master: 0

Evaluation: Hmmm... the Byblos isn't as good as I thought it would be. It only has a few attacks. They're okay, but they have a fairly short range and only hit one guy. Byblos can't change jobs, either, so you're stuck with four abilities. Worker 8 does good things with four abilities but Byblos doesn't. Maybe I'm just missing something.

Monsters

Rank just refers to the level of monster (i.e., a Chocobo is rank I, a Black Chocobo is rank II, and a Red Chocobo is rank III). Abilities listed in parentheses are only usable if a character with the support ability Monster Skill is standing next to the monster. All monsters have Counter as an inherent reaction ability. Most monsters have other inherent abilities (traits), such as ignore height, float, halves fire, etc.

Various Tricks

Pause Battles: If you push Triangle while the enemies are moving, the game will pause after the current enemy stops moving. You can check out the status of everybody. When you're done, just click on any character and choose End to resume.

Shoot Enemies Next to You: Normally, you can't shoot enemies close to you with a bow, but all you have to do is target a square in a straight line behind the enemy you want to hit (there doesn't even have to be anybody in the square). You'll end up hitting the enemy in front of you.

Stepping Stones: You can use Worker 8 as a stepping stone to reach high places — another character can move onto his head as if it were a normal panel, and move from there to somewhere else. You can't END your move on top of Worker 8, but you can use him for a mid-move boost. In addition, molbols and hydras can be used the same way... even enemy ones!

Buy Unpurchasable Items: This is NOT an item duplication trick. It only lets you buy weapons you couldn't normally buy, and only certain ones. To do it:

1. Equip the Two Swords ability on a character.
2. Equip the weapon you want to duplicate in your LEFT hand (second slot).
3. Equip a shield in your RIGHT hand.
4. Go to a shop. Note that the weapon you're duplicating MUST be stronger than anything you can buy at the shop.
5. Choose fitting room, then go to the character with the weapon you're duplicating. Choose Best Fit. You will note that the weapon has moved to your top hand. Choose okay.
6. Go to your inventory. You'll note that you have an extra copy of the weapon! (one being equipped, and one not)

The Stone Gun: This is REALLY weird, and I cannot guarantee that it will happen to you. But here's what happened to me. I was just goofing off at Germinas Peak and got into a seemingly routine random battle against some Chemists and Mediators. Then I noticed one of the Chemists was turned to stone (at the start of the battle), which was a little weird. I checked his stats and he was equipped with a Stone Gun. By first using a Remedy on him to de-stone him, I was able to steal the Stone Gun. It's a gun with medium attack strength, but if you equip it, you become petrified. If you de-petrify the character with an item or spell, you can fight normally, but the gun does not do anything particularly special (it doesn't petrify enemies, as I had hoped). I have no idea what caused the guy to have the Stone Gun (it's probably random), nor whether it can happen at other places besides Germinas Peak, but I wouldn't waste your time trying to get the gun as it's not any good.

Bonus Gil: The amount of bonus gil you receive at the end of the battle seems to be the combined level of the enemies times 100.

Thunderstorm: During a thunderstorm, lightning spells do 120% normal damage and fire spells do 80% normal damage (unless the caster has Any Weather).
