Dragon Quest VII to feature Job System

[10.09.99] » Popular system makes a third appearance in DQ VII.

   Dragon Quest's Job System is back for another appearance. Enix recently announced that Dragon Quest VII incorporates the popular system, which was also seen in Dragon Quests III and VI. (Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy Tactics employ a similar system as well.)

   Under the Job System, each character can select from a list of various "Jobs" -- Knight, Thief, Priest, Dancer, etc. Each Job has its own set of special skills that the character can learn; even if the character switches to a different Job later on; he or she retains the abilities from previous Jobs.
