Get Jp Up

[ninjafusion007]

Hello,

Because I cant seem to find it, are there any ASM patches that allows you to change the amount of Jp that you get with Get Jp UP so you can get more?

[Zenn]

Yes there are (only for PSX). I can think of this one (made by xjamxx and uploaded on github):

  <Patch name="JP Gain">
    <Description>Base JP Gain is 10 instead of 8 and job level goes by 4 instead of 2. Now you can gain up to 99 JP. Gained JP Up goes to spillover too.</Description>

</Patch>

But if you only want to change the amount Get Jp UP gives:

Just remember that this will make the incentive even greater for players to equip the skill, as if most players weren't equipping it most of the game... sacrificing tactical advantage for faster growth. I just think it's better to raise the base JP earned and get rid of Gained JP Up altogether and let players use whatever support skills, but that's just me... I also don't remember if someone made such a hack. Probably!

[Nyzer]

Yeah, especially with early jobs being pretty lackluster, Gained JP Up is just too good to equip anything else until something like mid Ch. 3. I wouldn't really agree with boosting its effects.

Easier just to raise JP gains across the board. Or slash costs.

[ninjafusion007]

Well, I have done many changes to the game to make it more challenging, also raised both Jp costs and Job Levels.. I just thought it would be nice to have something like that 

[Nyzer]

There's just too much emphasis on that skill instead of other supports. You end up using it basically until you've mastered your preferred jobs... it's just boring.
