Would Balthier be able to switch out one of those classes for Machinist and still be viable? The reason I ask is because I'd REALLY want to use him with guns, considering he's a sky pirate and is always shown with guns, lol. Although I did some reading and it seems both Time Battlemage and White Mage have the haste/slow abilities, so I wouldn't want to switch it with Ashe and give her two jobs that have a lot of overlap. 

... Could Ashe maybe be White Mage/Monk, Penelo be Black Mage/Fobreaker, and then let Balthier be Machinist/Time Battlemage?

I know you say there's no right or wrong, but I'd like the jobs I give my characters to make sense... y'know, a guy shown holding guns all the time, should probably have a job which includes guns, lol.

Ashe makes a pretty good Bushi because katanas take strength and magic into account. A white mage/bushi combination is good for Ashe because the magick lore licenses from the Bushi class allows her for high healing/magick damage output as well as high katana damage.

Penelo makes a good black mage/monk because you can access some white magic spells on the monk license board.

Balthier, I agree with the machinist/time battlemage combination since the machinist class is more of a supporting role.
