    Example : When Archer level reaches 3, the "Thief" job will become
 available (but only for the unit that reached level 3 on Archer).
 When Elemental Mage level reaches 5 AND Dragon Knight level reaches 5,
 "Dancer" job will become available.
    For the Samurai, Ninja, Mathematician and Imitator, I have listed 
 the prerrequisite jobs with their levels. 


    I will usually put four things in each translation:

 Japanese : The original Japanese name in Kana or Kanji (Japanese alphabets).
 Romanji : A phonetic translation of this name in Romanji (Roman alphabet).
 Translation : A literal translation, to the best of my ability.
 Effect : A translation of its effect.

    In many cases I will not be able to write down some or all of the
 Kanji in the ability's name. In these I will put a single question mark
 for each untranslated Kanji so you can match the length of the name
 and the relative position of each of the other Kanji.

    Every time I put (DS) on an ability's effect, it means that some of
 the words on that ability's description (by pushing select) hinted
 to that effect.

    Translations and effects listed with three question marks are very
 tentative and unlikely, or mean that I don't have a clue as to what
 they may be. A single question mark means I'm quite sure of that effect.

    The monster trainer ability allows friendly monsters on an adjacent

 wouldn't have otherwise (for example, the Chocobo will be able to perform
 "ChocoboEsna").
