Current Events > Sudden thought. Any good RPGs with job systems on Steam?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Topics lately have reminded me how much I love FFV, 4HoL, and BD because of their job systems.

Any hidden gems on there with sweet job systems?

I assume you mean not final fantasy games?

I mean, if any of the later ones have as nice job systems as 5 or even 3. Since I actually haven't really played any mainline ones past 6.

One of the greatest games of all time: The Zodiac Age.

FFX-2 has a sweet job system.

There's some other games out there like Penny Arcade 3 but I can't honestly recommend them just for the jobs.

I kinda have a bad habit of forgetting the 3D FF games past 7 exist, other than my irritation with 15.

I only ever had nintendo consoles and only 1-6 are on those, and I've only had a computer of my own for the past few years. >_>

Agreed. Despite what you may have heard, FFX-2 actually does have amazing gameplay. It just has a really, really shit storyline.

ehhh, it's got a job system, but it's not really like the others. i think TC's looking to be able to change jobs multiple times throughout the game, and with FF12 once you choose you're locked in

Bonus points if it has a decent spellsword class.

Honestly I might end up picking up my two-person playthrough of BD again, or maybe replay V. Less tempted to dig out my SP though. I feel like it had TONS of side content though that I didn't do the first time around... or the second. It took me a couple tries to beat it since I was young and it took me a while to get the hang of rpgs.

I was disappointed when it didn't get a nice remake like 3 and 4 got.

I've began sifting through breadcrumbs of indie games.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/628770/Tangledeep/ is the first potential I've found.

Not sure if I'll end up getting anything, since there's a game coming out in a few days that'll likely eat my attention, but still poking around, and sharing my findings.

Edit: Wow, decided to do some googling and it's... not really something often done in games.

Most of the games that do it do so under the guise of a "Respec"

Kingdoms of Amalur for example has 7 "jobs"

Fighter, Mage, Rogue, Fighter+Mage, Fighter+Rogue, Mage+Rogue, and Generalist (hybrid of all 3)

But I doubt you'd like it as the game doesn't really encourage changing your job often and it's only one character.

Yeah, I like getting to experiment and mix and match.
