With fifty-six jobs, from Warriors to Summoners, FFTA2 sports the biggest job tree in all the tactical spinoffs thus far. Holding true to previous FFT games, FFTA2 uses a job system to supplement unit growth and abilities. In addition to accepting quests, certain ones may have a time limit attached to them plot-based quests exclude the limit. Most battles and quests usually involve depleting the enemy's HP down to zero. Examples include escort missions, item finding quests, field-clearing battles, etc. Battles take the form of quests issued at pubs located throughout the world. Each unit has limitations involving their move space, attack range and overall stat growth most of which depends on the job and the base level. If a unit does not move or attack, their next turn will come quicker. Based on their speed statistic, units will take turns moving and attacking from fastest to slowest.
