Final Fantasy V/Jobs

Final Fantasy V contains 22 jobs and a further 4 in the GBA remake. Jobs can level up by collecting ABP (Ability Battle Points) after battles, This enables the character to learn new abilities and when the job is mastered, the game will transfer the stat boosts of that job to the mimic and freelancer jobs.
