Generic Job Tree Unlock Requirements

The job tree is a guide that shows all the job level requirements to unlock certain classes. This remains the same when compared to the original version of the game, with the exception of some jobs requiring an extra level for their pre-requisite jobs.

However, as a note, the job tree for the Ivalice Chronicles and the original are different from the War of the Lions since that version of Final Fantasy Tactics includes more jobs and content when compared to the other two versions.

Generic jobs, outside of Squire and Chemist, have different job level requirements before they're unlocked. For example, the Thief requires a unit to be Level 3 in Archer to unlock, and the Archer requires Level 2 in Squire before that's unlocked.

How Many Jobs Are There?

33 Classes in Total

Jobs
There are a total of 33 Jobs in Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles. However, not all of them are available for use, since Special Jobs are restricted to certain characters, and only Generic Jobs are usable by everyone.

What are Jobs?

Character's Class for Combat

FF Tactics - Job Tree
A job is the character's class, and it dictates their stats and abilities in combat. Some jobs require the character to reach a specific level in a different job before it's unlocked, while others, specifically Special jobs, are only available to certain characters.

How to Farm JP (Job Points)

Job-Related Trophies

Bronze Bronze Trophy Expert in One Field
Learn all the abilities of a single job with one party member.
► List of All Abilities
Gold Gold Trophy Master of All Trades
Master every ability of every job with one party member.
► List of All Abilities

While these are more ability-focused trophies, the latter one does require you to unlock and master every job available. Thankfully, this only applies for Generic Jobs since Special Jobs are only available to certain characters.
