While Larian Studios is bringing 12 new subclasses to the massive RPG with the arrival of the game’s last major patch next year, which fans can try out soon , modders for the game continue to create their own. One modder, inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics, has recreated the series’ iconic Jobs System as a new class for Larian’s game. Final Fantasy Tactics comes to Baldur’s Gate 3 Created by modder Almontys, the new Final Fantasy Tactics Job System mod for BG3 brings a bold new class to the game.
Available right here on Nexus , the mod aims to add new “strategic depth and class progression of Final Fantasy Tactics into Baldur’s Gate 3”. Just like Final Fantasy Tactics, players will start as a Cadet and unlock new jobs as they level up. 27 jobs are available to unlock and use, including Knight, Mage, Archer, Samurai and many more.
“It is incredibly difficult (if not impossible with my capabilities) to fully recreate the JP system and Job Levels,” the modder explains on the Nexus Mods page. “Each subclass has a progression list and restrictions of available jobs (level-gated) to help keep some of the original feel of unlocking and progressing jobs.” It’s worth noting that there are a few restrictions that the modder has implemented in order to not completely break Baldur’s Gate 3.
For example, the modder decided not to recreate Final Fantasy Tactics’ advanced movement abilities as they were deemed too “overkill” for the game. Additionally, the modder decided not to add in the “Calculator” and “Mime” classes from Final Fantasy Tactics with the former being replaced with the new “Sorcerer” class. As both classes were deemed “game-breaking”, they were avoided.
