I've decided to be a Paladin/Ninja now.

EDIT:

Does anyone know if you can keep your magic and abillties learned from a job and use them when you switch? For example, my basic job will be Red Mage.. would I still be able to use my magic when I become a Paladin/Ninja?

And do your stats get carried over when you switch jobs?

the only magic/skills you will have will be for paladin and your ninja so no you wont be able to use any of your red mage magic/skills.
and about the stats being carried over yes stats will be carried over from your ninja to your paladin making your stronger you will find out alot once you start to play the game.

The only stats that are "carried" are from your sub-job. IF you're like a level 70 WAR and you want to start leveling NIN... you'll be as though you are a level 1 NIN. However, if you put your sub as WAR and you were a level 10 ninja, you'd basically be as strong as a level 15 character, methinks (without the abilities, of course).

Also, you can't use the same items. If you have 50 levels in RDM and you change to Ninja, you'll have to find new gear that a level 1 Ninja can use.

Edit: Basically, starting a new job is just like starting a new character with a lot of gil and consumable items.

I'm not sure if skill points remain the same for weapons. I sure hope they do though, and it seems to make sense.

Also... what happened to Ranger? That's a very, very good race. And I'm not sure Ninja would be too good with Paladin. Ninja's dual weild is fun, but Paladins excel with shields. The Ninjitsu may be cool, but Paladins can use WHM magic. *shrugs* No matter though. You can experiment a lot with your character. You can have 70 levels in every job if you want to test everything out.

yes skill points will be the same but you must remember that they max out for lvls so basicly if you have a lvl 40war and you have max evasion for him when you switch to a new person to lvl your evasion will be maxed at like 5 or so if your lvl1 it will go up with each lvl to max

I was fighting in a party with a Bard the other night. Wow, talk about useful, the magic they cast is tremendously effective and helpful, and most of them don't even cost MP. Before the bard came in, we were having trouble with some very tough Grunts, but once we got those enhancement skills cast on us, we took down three very tough grunts in a row without healing.

I really recommend this job to someone who's insterested in being the massive supporter in a party. It's not the kind of job I would chose, but if you really want to be useful to almost anyone, be a bard. (btw, they aren't half as gay as I expected them to look and preform, heh).

after lots of research Ive decided on my jobs im going to be a pal/war/cook

and crono dont do pal ninja its a horable mix. The only thing Ive read so far that goes with a pal is war or whm anything else is useless.

Ill post a link later for a damn good site ominub showed me the only problem with the site is that it has alot of spyware but it does list all the jobs and quests and has a forum.

You learn White Magic when you're a Paladin, so having a WHM sub job with Paladin would be rather useless.
