Job Suggestions After Water Temple
So i just got the 3rd set of jobs and am about to enter the sewer and at the moment i have my team set up like this

lvl 26 Luneth knight at about lvl 10
lvl 26 Arc Red mage at about 30 something
lvl 26 Refia Red mage in the high 30s
lvl 26 Ingus Monk at mid-40s

I kinda enjoy being able to heal with Luneth if things get crazy but was considering switching him to dragoon because i like that class. unsure about whether to keep arc and refia as red mages I just figured that itd be nice to be able to use damage and healing magic from them both, but im getting the feeling that red mage may be a bit outclassed by other magic classes at this point. Im hesitant to switch ingus off of monk because he has been my most consistant and heaviest hitter since i got the class but ive heard that both dark knight and dragoon are pretty useful to have.

Basically im unsure if im over thinking things and should switch over to other classes or if the class layout i have is solid enough. so far im beginning to have difficulty keeping up with healing if its a tough fight (krakken was a pain in the ***). This might be due to low defense or it might be because the red mages no longer have the spell power to really dish out enough healing, though i cant remember if they both have cura so that may be the real issue.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Looking at your set up, and being 100% honest with you here.. I'd stick to my guns currently at this point. The majority of the classes you receive from the water crystal won't meet their potential until a little later into the story. For example, you will come to a point in the story here very soon where you can obtain 4 sets of dragoon armor with weapons. Until then you rely on dated gear not really meant for the class, and buying spears can be pricey. Until that story point I wouldn't recommend changing into Dragoon. Dark Knight has a town you can access also at a later point that will fully gear them to help you prepare for another dungeon. Which btw, isn't 100% necessary to use a Dark Knight but makes it easier on you.

However if you wish to swap out your classes, then that is totally your call. You can beat this game with any party set up you wish, and while sparkly new classes may seem like a good idea.. In some cases it isn't. You'll want to grind a bit to bring your job levels up otherwise those classes are absolutely mediocre. For example you might find your Luneth lacking because his job level is low and his hit count is low, he may not hit as hard, and he can't take hits well. Imagine that for every job class. If you do change, stop and grind a bit. But as it stands if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

fair enough. thanks for the advice. yeah i find luneth being slightly subpar on damage but so far hes been doing between 500 and 900 in comparison to lngus who does between 900 and 1200.

What about the mages? i feel that they arent healing as well as they could and their MP could use a boost. i know the devout, sage, summoner and magus are all good but i dont have them yet so im uncertain if the weirder magic classes will do better or if its best to have one white mage and one black mage.

There are guides out there that tell you how to level your job classes up. I'll just give you the quick and dirty on it. Return to Ur (the starting village) and proceed to get into fights with the goblins in the area. Have everyone guard 8 times. On turn 9 have everyone but whoever you want to have attack guard. Seeing as you're using a knight, have the knight attack as his defend is a 3 second animation. 3 seconds isn't much at first, but do this over the course of 20 battles and you waste a minute. You'll be doing this awhile to grind some classes.. those minutes add up. You will effectively gain 1 job level and gain points towards the next. Doing this ensures you'll gain 1 job every battle no mater what happens. Use this technique to bring your knight up to snuff a bit. You can do the same for your red mages to gain some more MP for casting.

Your Red mages however are a different story. Their stat growth puts them in the middle ground. If you had a white mage, you'd be doing curas for 700+ on the entire party with them in their mid to late 30s. Black mages would be dealing more as well. Red mages are middle of the pack and for that trade off they can use both sets of spells up to a point fairly well. And can deal some physical damage. And honestly, magic is your call but I don't recommend it. You can attain damage cap with physical strikes without worrying about any limit to what you can cast. However if you want a caster with something unique you can always go summoner as they can group cast for 9,999 to all targets as they multi target by default and lose no damage.

Mine says 34 hours played on the PC version. I own the DS version which I played to death. Beat it 9 times from start to finish. Picked this up because the ability to unlock the special dungon after they shut down the DS network was made impossible in my area.

Over all it's a fun game.. Mainly because I like Dark Knight as a class.. But it still is no Final Fantasy VI.

Ive gone for Luneth, Dark Knight (im up to 99 level job with that now) . Ingus a viking (up to 99 level right now) . Refia Sage (up to 45 job level right now) and Arc Devout( up to 42 or so now) ive done probably 26 hours online but i know ive done more offline. this is the grindiest Final Fantasy I've ever played, Ive played 1,2 7,8 and 10. This Final fantasy 3 i've really had to work for it. I met the Iron giand later on and dont even bother fighting him unles syou are on 9999 for all characters, hes impossible otherwise. He's an optional boss , but still.

You posted this same message in a seperate thread of your own. No need to bomb another with it. He's not impossible to defeat. I've done it at level 76 myself. Others have did it under level 50. You can play an RPG many ways. Low level challenges, start to finish killing only what you encounter, Single character playthroughs, grinding until you overwhelm everything. But that thing isn't all that hard.

It takes hours to grind to level 76 though. Hours and hours and hours and hours. Overkill hours. More than any other FF ive ever played. Im not saying that's a good or bad thing, Im just saying.

Yes I can see you are a 1 trick pony here. I've put more hours into any save on FFX than I've ever put in III. I can reach a base character level of 99 and a job max level of 99 of up to 5 jobs in less than 50 hours played. Grinding out everything is NOT necessary and judging the game for your personal playstyle isn't the way to go.

Im not trying to max everything out. The iron giant does 4'500 damage with one hit. I woouldn tgo near it unless you have well over level 70. What i mean by grindiest , is its the grindiest as in, not progressing just cruising around just to level up, grindy. Like most FF's ive played , I can progress, level up, by the time I get to the end Im pretty much up to the right levels. But with this one, ive had to do a lot more work. Which is fine, im just saying, its the grindiest FF ive played.
