List of Contents
Penelo: Strengths
One of the Obvious Mages
Penelo's high MP and Magick Power seems to suggest that she is one of the game's obvious mages; the other one is Ashe, but we'll get to that.
Penelo's sweet and naive nature tends to make her a popular white mage candidate among players. While the white mage is usually the first choice for Penelo, her other stats appear to point towards something strength-driven. It isn't unheard of to experiment on her being a Red Battlemage with access to maces or a Time Battlemage who can use the crossbow for a second job, but a playthrough usually sets her up as a pure mage.

Penelo: Recommended Jobs
| Job | Reason for Recommending |
|---|---|
| White Mage | The natural fit for Penelo. With just the character depiction, Penelo seems to be molded in the guise of the White Mage. Her high MP suggests that, as a support-type character, she would do well casting Curaga or Curaja on the party, as well as dealing heavy Holy damage against Dark-aligned enemies. |
| Time Battlemage | Another obvious choice for the MP-inclined Penelo. While it isn't the best job for her, she makes for a decent Time Battlemage depending on her MP reserves as well as her Magick Power. Her speed in casting spells isn't bad at all, either. |
| Uhlan (Second License) | Penelo isn't just all brains. There's a little brawn to her, and the Uhlan class makes sense. She can handle staves as a White Mage or Black Mage, and dealing damage to enemies when they get close to her would be a boon to any questing party involving a mage/lancer Penelo. |
| Red Battlemage (Second License) | The Red Battlemage might be more MP-inclined and a perfect second job for Penelo. However, it also grants her access to maces and shields. It would be a good combination, given that mages only ever have access to mystic robes. Having the extra protection of a shield for a caster like Penelo would benefit the party in the long run. |
