I've been racking my head on this for a couple of days, so I'm wondering if anyone can come up with a feasible solution.
Say you don't want to use job level prerequisites for jobs, but you want certain jobs to become unlocked upon completion of a particular battle or chapter (i.e. FF5 with gaining new jobs via the Crystals). Is there a sane way to implement this?
AFAIK, not without some serious asm hacking.
Maybe possible through some event commands but I don't know them or if they even exist.
Maybe research could start with how Ramza changes jobs from Chapter 1 to 2 and from 3 to 4?

This. I bet a code from an event triggers ramza's evolution. Making many many of these might be impossible though. I like your idea however.
I've looked for it for a long time and have never found it sadly
What you guys are talking about (i.e. ramza evolving) is completely unrelated.
You could just make a simple ASM hack that artificially sets the required job levels to 15 or something if the player's story progression byte isn't at least X amount. You would just need to hack the job change wheel really, and when it reads to check equippable skillsets. There is no real way to prevent players from inviting enemies in that particular class though.
Making enemies immune to invite should do the trick (Or just remove invite from the game, like I did in 1.4)

Yes there is. Just don't have anyone of that job show up in randoms or story battles until a given point in the story (or if you absolutely must have enemy thieves, give the AI non-recruitable NPC special thieves).
Haha, owned :P
It's been too long since I last hacked FFT.
This is not a hard hack. I am trying to add the functionality to the RAD hack, which might take a couple months due to other stuff, but rest assured it would get done long before your patch's release.
You do have to consider how the enemy job tree and JP/skill learning will function, though.
@pokeytax: That would be pretty awesome, and yeah, you're dead right on that. Fortunately I don't even plan to bother with JP or job level progression so that won't be a concern for this concept.
