| Soriku said: That's not what I mean. Jobs/Materia/Junctioning is just another take on the battle system. Like free roam, sidestepping, stride shift (IDK if it's actually called that but it's something used in Rebirth where you can switch planes in battle) and whatever in Tales. The battles depend on those. If you don't use them you won't get anywhere, just like Jobs/Materia/Junctioning. While you still do the whole menu thing in FF, and in Tales you do the whole encounter and use artes and magic and stuff with your party to beat your enemy. |
There are equipments or gem combos etc in different Tales games that would give you different bonuses as well, it's pretty standard in JRPGs, the difference is how they are implemented. Most JRPGs(not SRPG mind you, or something crazy like Chrono Cross which is another damn good game) also give you about 8 characters to use on average that'd cover your job needs.
