Hi All,
Just a quick question, is there a way to have all the jobs unlocked but not be able to change jobs. Essentially, they are locked to their initial job?
Thanks for your help,
Cheers Argy :D
As in, you would pick a job for a character when they join up / are bought at the office, but can't change after?
This hack would fit perfectly for my patch; if memory serves, I had an undead knight that I ultimately was forced to scrap because simply changing his job from his base class to a generic class would remove his dark-magic induced condition. I'd presume Argy is similarly motivated.
In any case, this hack is on my list after I finish the formula hack.
Probably would be a very easy hack, I have notes on the job change routine
I just wanted it as I am working on a FFXII IZJS hack and thought it would be a good idea. Ideally I would then have Ramza with a skillset that had invite as to 'collect' the other classes. Thank you all for your help!

Oh cool that is big deal to make FFXII, I can say keep up and good luck ! Argy :)
Okay here's a quick one tell me if this is what you want. Save the code below as a .xml into the same folder with FFTorgASM and apply through FFTorgASM.

Pride could you post your notes on the routine? I'd like to take a look at that one. Had some ideas i want to look into.

Awesome, thanks dude!
Edit: I don't have time to look at this cause of school :/ But when I do get time I'd like to look into letting special characters be able to switch to all jobs..
Hehe we could divide the job tree into exclusive sections now... a set of 8 human jobs, 4 skeleton jobs, 4 goblin jobs or w/e or make a race system..
Hiya,
Sorry for the late reply... thanks heaps for this... you are a star!
Cheers Argy
Oh my... A late reply indeed. Let me know if that is what you wanted.
