In any of the in-game menus, head into your Battle Settings tab. In the top left corner of the screen, you'll see your current job and its level. Highlight this area and press the button prompt that appears just to the left—this will bring up a menu containing all of your available jobs (seen above). The Swordfighter job should be the first job on this list—simply highlight and confirm to equip it.

This is a Job that balances offense and defense and gives you the ability to wield a sword and shield. Slaying enemies with the Swordfighter job equipped will also unlock your progression through its Job Tree, where you can upgrade your stats and build up Affinity for valuable stat boosts.

Hey there! I'm Nick. I've been a gamer since I was a tiny lad sitting about three feet from my SNES playing Mega Man X and Zelda (A Link to the Past). I dip my toes into most genres but always find my way back to open-world RPGs and story-driven single-player titles. I love to write and consider myself lucky to spend my days working on content I truly enjoy.
