Stat Growths
(Lower is better)
HP: 11 MP: 15 SPD: 100 PA: 60 MA: 50
You wouldn’t expect the starter class to have good stat growths and… it doesn’t. In Final Fantasy Tactics Squire’s HP growth isn’t terrible, but that’s the best that can be said about it.
You should get out of this class as quickly as possible because its PA growth is abysmal and it will severely impact your character’s effectiveness if you level up too much in this class.
Moveset: Fundaments
| Ability Name | JP Cost |
| Focus | 300 |
| Rush | 80 |
| Stone | 90 |
| Salve | 150 |
Let’s be straight up with it. Every skill here is terrible except Focus, which is exceptional and integral to every grinding strategy in the game.
Not only is its intended effect useful (adds +1 to PA, stacking infinitely), its real use is to generate tons of JP. Focus grants JP every time it’s used, so you can just kill every enemy except one, disable it in any number of ways, then have your characters just Focus repeatedly until you hit your JP target for the fight.
Reaction Abilities
| Ability Name | JP Cost |
| Counter Tackle | 180 |
Counter Tackle is adequate when you have absolutely no other Reaction Abilities whatsoever, but aside from that, it’s not good. You should replace it as quickly as possible with a skill that’s good.
Support Abilities
| Ability Name | JP Cost |
| Equip Axes | 170 |
| Beastmaster | 200 |
| Defend | 50 |
| JP Boost | 250 |
Equip Axes is bad. Beastmaster is pretty useless. Defend is not good. JP Boost should be your go-to support ability until you’ve earned a support ability that you really want. You’ll use JP Boost most of the time.
Movement Abilities
| Ability Name | JP Cost |
| Move +1 | 200 |
Move +1 is actually very useful. You’ll use it on every character until you get Move +2, Teleport, or another skill that’s good. It’s a decent slot-filler until you get something better.
Final Fantasy Tactics Squire Overall Assessment
In Final Fantasy Tactics Squire is the starter class, so of course it’s not going to be the best class in the game. You should get out of it fairly quickly, but as a starter class it’s very good and offers some basic skills that are useful for a long time.
On most characters you should definitely stay in Squire long enough to learn Focus, JP Boost and Move +1. Beyond that, nothing is worthwhile, but you’ll get a lot of mileage out of those 3 skills.
That about covers it for the Final Fantasy Tactics Squire Class. Be sure to check out the Games Section for more content like this and click here for more game guides related to FFT.
