What’s the point to mastering a class? What do I get from it?
For example, mastering Thief gets me restless agility. What does that mean though?
My understanding is that once I get a skill from a certain class level I can use that skill as a secondary skill with any class. What about stuff like the HP+20-30% that I can have with the Knight ability? Will I get to keep that if I max out? What’s the advantage to mastering it?
I beleive any skills that a class has on it naturally (i e Ninja’s dual wield), will then be on your Freelancer after you master said class. The stat changes carry over as well.
Exactly. So if you take the time to master all classes, Freelancer will become the strongest of all classes, and you’ll have two spaces to put whatever commands you want. A personal favorite of mine back from when I played FF V on ZSNES is Spellblade + Blue. Brave Blade + Excalibur + Holy and Flare on the blades = OUCH!
Mastering classes also adds that class’ stats to freelancer (and maybe mime), and if you master a mage class and equip its magic skill to another class you will have the mage’s magic stat no matter what class you are in.
Isn’t that only if the imported stat is superior though? For instance, if you’re a Summoner and you take the Red Mage’s magic skill, you keep the magic stat of the Summoner since it’s higher. That was in the SNES version at least, not so sure about the new one.
That’s weak compared to X Magic + Time Magic. Meteo, Quick, Meteo, Meteo, Meteo, Meteo. You can throw in a Haste for longer battles (which there won’t be many of). You don’t have to waste a round enchanting your weapon either.
