This job serves as the foundation for all others, forming the first step on the road to becoming a legendary warrior.
Squire is a job from Final Fantasy Tactics. It is the basic physical job from where all physical job classes start. On their own, Squires lose usefulness after Chapter 1 although they have an especially useful support ability to boost the JP earned from battle, which will remain equipped on many units for mastering the abilities of other jobs. It takes 2,290 JP to master.
Leveling Squire to level 2 unlocks the Knight and Archer jobs; leveling it to level 6 along with Chemist unlocks the Onion Knight; and mastering the job along with Chemist, Summoner, Orator, Geomancer, and Dragoon unlocks the Mime.
Ramza, Delita, and Argath are Squires. Ramza and Delita learn some techniques other Squires cannot, and have better base stats, while Argath can use two Knight Rend techniques. The Squire's abilities, barring the action ability, is also the model for unique characters' special jobs, and these jobs replace the Squire in the job menu, preventing such characters using it.
Ramza must be hit by Ultima while he is a Squire to learn it. The only characters who can cast Ultima are Luso, Celia, and Lettie. To quickly learn Ultima, it is recommended to equip items that prevent Stop and Charm, and to keep distance from Celia and Lettie.

EtymologyEdit
A squire was the shield bearer or armor bearer of a knight, and at times squires were a knight's errand runner or servant. Use of the term has evolved over time. In the Middle Ages, squires were trainees to a knight but later a leader in an English village.
