Changing jobs is one of the most important systems in Octopath Traveler 0. Your main character can shift roles at any time, giving you access to new skills, weapons, and ways to approach battles. If you’re not sure where to find the job menu or how to unlock new roles, this guide explains everything in a simple and direct way.
How to Change Jobs in Octopath Traveler 0?
1. Open the Skills Menu
To change your job it is necessary to navigate to the Skills section in the menu. You will find a tab with your protagonist’s available jobs inside this page. You can also see job details, current skills, and how your stats change when you switch on this screen.
2. Choose Your Current Job
When you are at the job screen, you can go through the list of every job that your hero has unlocked so far. Select the desired role, confirm the change, and your character’s class will be updated immediately.
How to Unlock New Jobs in Octopath Traveler 0?
1. Learn the Required Battle Skills
You are not given all the jobs at once. Each new job is unlocked only after you have acquired a certain number of Battle Skills.
Battle Skills do not rely on story progress to unlock. They are rather unlocked using JP (Job Points), which you receive after each battle. With the accumulation of JP and the learning of more skills from a job, more jobs become available for equipping.
2. Use Your Job Points
In the battles, you will earn JP faster. Protagonist’s JP will be costlier and thus the more characters will be allowed to switch among different jobs.
If you concentrate on battling a lot, then you have the chance to unlock many jobs early. Regularly check the Skills menu to find out which new jobs are available as you move ahead.
Can Other Characters Change Jobs?
Switching jobs is only for the main character. A notable feature of Octopath Traveler 0 or rather a distinction from previous games, is that your main character is the only one who can change jobs. All other characters will stick to their initial role for the whole game.
Hence, it is very advantageous to unlock more jobs for the protagonist, particularly when it comes to fight situations where the specific weakness is quite significant.
If you want to shape your lead character to the role your party requires, then the Skills menu must be your frequent destination. Gain JP, acquire Battle Skills, and new jobs will unlock on their own.
