one last FFT question, does the Arthmetics class have a built in Speed decrease? I finally got my guy to be arthmetic job and he never seemed to get a turn, looked at his speed and its now 3. Dont remember what it was before but he definately used to get to "go" more frequently.
Different classes have different speeds. I think Ninja is at the top, while Calculator, or Arithmetician, or whatever they're calling it these days, is way at the bottom. If you like the job, what you should do is level it just long enough to learn all the skills you want, and then switch to Black Mage with Arithmetic subskill. Black Mage has decent speed and is by far the most powerful magic caster, so it's really the ideal combo.
Edit: oh, an alternative to leveling Arithmetician in battle is to send your guy on lots of Errands from the tavern. It's probably a much faster way to gain JP, given how slow and useless main-job Arithmeticians are.
