Job system

I've only played XV before which as far as I know has no job or role system, which is unlike ff7r since it seems there is a light job system hidden in the ungodly amounts of stats and descriptions

I can assume stuff like Aerith being a Mage but I've heard Tifa is a Monk which idk what that means, and I've heard Barette being tank while Could is balanced when it come to tank, damage and healing since he's a Mystic Knight or something ?

What characters fit into what jobs and how exactly should that effect how I build the character ?

The rules are simple.

You create your own party through every party members in every main core games. You cannot choose characters who were temporary part of your party such as Beatrix or Stephiroth. Only use the main core games so no Kingdom Hearts Characters. Online characters from XI and XIV would be allowed as long as they follow their class system.

(Due to the fact FFVII-FFX doesn't have a stable class system, use the one I found and tried to fit the characters into what you think fits in the class system)

Swordsman: warriors who use swords as their primary weapon; includes Knights, Paladins, and Gladiators.

Magician: Magic users who specialize any of magic. This includes White Mages, Black Mages, Blue Mages, Red Mages, Geomancers, and Summoners.

Dragoon: Fighters that use polearms such as spears. The Dragoons (or Lancers in some games) can jump high and use special breath attacks similar to ones used by dragons.

Ranged: warriors that use any form of long-range weapons. This includes Archers, Gunners/Machinists, Snipers, and Throwers.

Monk/Brawler: warriors that prefer hand-to-hand fighting over weapons. (Not sure why they call it a Monk class. Maybe because of Shaolin Monkeys or something.)

Thief: Characters that generally don't have much strength but can steal from enemies. This includes Ninjas.

Magic Knight: a class that combines the use of the magic with weapons. This includes Holy Knights, Dark Knights, and Elemental Knights.

Hey guys, i have a question about the dancer class. Im currently lv 70 astrolog. and finished stormblood (still need to finish the post-stormblood scenario). I got the shadowbringers dlc and now that I have access to the dancer class i actually wanted to give it a try. The problem is that the dancer starts at 60 and the quest are 70 plus. I allready leveld my astrolog. from 30 to 60 for heavensward/stormblood and it was tiresome as hell. So my question is if there is any fast way to level up that wont take me a week.

Thanks in advance ^^
