Do you mean do you gain JP just by attacking without using a JP skill? No I don't think so unless there's some support ability (I don't remember if there was equipment to passively gain JP) on the character. You should gain JP and Exp when you send the character on a job or mission from the pub though.
i was getting ablilities for my characters, and i noticed that they seemed to be gaining jp for the other jobs that they weren't using at the moment. ramza just got white and black mage unlocked, and he's been a squire this whole time.
I don't remember this in the PSX original, I mainly used the JP scroll bug to gain JP but it stayed in that job alone no spill overs.
i went over to gamefaqs to see if this was a thing, i found this in the answer board:
No story character can be assigned to propositions.
okay. i wasn't sure since things are a bit different from the tactics advance games. your max battle party size is 5, not 6. i'm still in chapter 1, finalizing my party. i read that all generic characters recruited are level 1, and random encounters scale with your highest level character. and unlike in the advance games, characters don't get exp by just participating; they have to make an action to get exp and jp.
Pro tip: if they have low move value give them item if they lose health or get close to an ally they can heal them this ensures they get XP every turn.
i did some checking on that the other day, they supposedly only get xp for successful actions. i plan on getting into a random encounter with a chocobo and set it up so my characters use focus and slowly beat up the chocobo while getting healed up by it. ramza is lv 7 now, everyone else is about 4-5 with the last member at lv 3.
Huh well that's out of the way guess 10 unit per battle ain't real.
i'll keep that in mind. i only got the basic jobs unlocked. squire, chemist, archer, white and black mage and knight. got to get a few more job levels before the rest of the jobs get unlocked. shouldn't be too long.
Wait until you get time mage gonna be a blast
i just set up rydia as a black mage, she's lv 5 and already overpowered. she nearly one hit 3 different enemies in the last story mission that i did. sounds like time mages will be completely broken in comparison.
yeah, i noticed that early on. i taught everyone a bunch of the squire abilities, like focus and stone. i did see some warnings on gamefaqs to not over do it too much since new gear at the shops is tied to story progression. i mainly need to bring maria up a couple of levels and then everyone will be more on par with each other.
which version are you playing?
Did you name every single person in your party after a character from the main games? Guess rydia in future is summoner

i have some screenshots of my current party.Did you name every single person in your party after a character from the main games? Guess rydia in future is summoner
Yes black mage carries early game easily if you unlock flare and magic attack up you are in for insanity.
Time mage haste when placed on your whole party can get you a lot more turns which is a lot more XP and JP which is a lot better performance , just pay attention to faith and ensure magic attack is high (I discovered this yesterday despite me sinking in 40 hours well 43 by now , in light armor shops or non heavy infantry shops you can get mages specific mage robes that prioritize mana over health just remember this so you don't have them dressing normal/light armor the whole time like me
Btw did you figure how to know what everything does or description ? I figured after like 30 hours in its the equivalent of the square shaped button on a PS1 controller not the orange one but the one in the center.
I see you are making a female only brigade XD
yeah, for whatever reason; when the game gives me option to do so, i will just make a bunch of female characters for my party. i do that in nearly every game that lets me.
