FFTA uses the Job System which was born in Final Fantasy III, built upon in Final Fantasy V, and almost perfected in Final Fantasy Tactics. FFTA uses a revised Job System.
It defers from FFT's system in the following ways:
-
No more Job Points, JP is now Judge Points.
- The inclusion of Tribes and the abolishment of Sexes and Zodiac signs.
- The inclusion of an AP (Ability Points) system, (similar to Final Fantasy IX)
- A whole new collection of Jobs and abilities.
New Jobs are learned by mastering abilities, not by Job Levels.
