How to Unlock Squire

No Requirements to Unlock

This job doesn't have any unlock requirements, and is available by default. Since this is a Level 1 Job, it's a basic class that any character can use, and you'll need to level this up to unlock other, more advanced, Jobs.

Ramza Uses a Special Version of Squire

Also, as a note, Ramza has a Special version of Squire that's exclusive to him. It has better stats, Abilities, and usable equipment compared to the regular Squire, making it much more useful than the Generic one.

When you reach Chapter 4 of the main story, Ramza's Squire will turn into Gallant Knight. It's essentially the same Job, with the exception of new Action Abilities and usable equipment.
