[PSP] Final Fantasy Tactics - The War of the Lions

I've never played the original FFT, but so far I'm enjoying it. I'm just not good at strategy RPGs, I guess, as I'm having trouble with some of the battles (I'm still in CHAPTER ONE, by the way!). Still, feels pretty good to figure out a tactic that works. xD I don't completely understand the job system yet and all the micromanaging makes me dizzy, but I'm really curious as to where the story is going and I like the script.

Hopefully, I get the hang of the fights and system soon enough.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The way you can use different job abilities confuses me. For instance, I use Glenda and she started out as a chemist who could throw her potions many tiles around her, but when I turned her into a white mage, she can only give a potion to characters directly surrounding her. Is there a skill or something I need to get that would let her toss potions in a bigger area again? I noticed that there's a chemist skill called "Throw" and I wasn't sure if that was for throwing potions... if it is, my other chemist doesn't have that ability learned but he can still throw potions far.

It also looks like--using white mage Glenda here for reference again--I could get black mage skills for her with her JPs if I wanted to. Could she use them if I bought them, despite her never having been a black mage (and being a white mage at that)? Or would I need to change her into a black mage for her to use them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
