Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has a total of 28 jobs to unlock. In this guide, I go through each job and detail how to unlock them as the requirements for the more advanced Jobs aren’t as straightforward as others.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin guide: Unlocking all jobs

It’s going to take awhile to level up every Job to reach the specific Job you’d like to focus on, so make sure you use Anima Shards sparingly as these are rewards obtained during Main and Side Missions that help level up Jobs. The Jobs are categorized into three groups - Basic Jobs, Advanced Jobs, and Expert Jobs. Here’s a quick rundown on how to unlock each one.

Basic jobs

Unlocking Basic Jobs are fairly simple as all you need to do is equip the specific weapon for that Basic Job. That’s it.

Swordsmen - Unlocked by equipping a Greatsword

Duelist - Unlocked by equipping Daggers

Swordfighter - Unlocked by equipping a Sword

Pugilist - Unlocked by equipping Knuckles

Marauder - Unlocked by equipping an Axe

Ronin - Unlocked by equipping a katana

Lancer - Unlocked by equipping a Lance

Mage - Unlocked by equipping a Mace

Advanced Jobs

Advanced Jobs bring more specialized abilities. At this point, you’ll see what the Job’s particular playstyle can really do. To unlock these Jobs you’ll need to progress through the Job Tree of Basic Jobs and unlock a specific node in order to unlock an Advanced Job.

Knight - Unlocked by purchasing its Job node found in the Swordfighter and Swordsman Job Tree.

Monk - Unlocked by purchasing its Job node found in the Pugilist and Lancer Job Tree.

Warrior - Unlocked by purchasing its Job node found in the Swordsman and Ronin Job Tree.

Thief - Unlocked by purchasing its Job node found in the Swordsman and Ronin Job Tree.

Expert Jobs

Expert Jobs are the endgame for specific jobs, dishing out job-defining abilities. unlocking them is similar to Advanced Jobs - progress through the appropriate Job Tree and unlock the Job node associated with the Expert Job you want.

This will take more time than the rest as some Expert Jobs require you to progress through up to three Jobs in order to unlock. The Cyclic Warrior Expert Job is an exception, as you’ll see below.
