well probably (although different people have different abilities within the same job, compare say zasz's (or whatever his name is) synergist stuff with hope's. and anyway, that would still mean i've wasted all those CPs on hope. (not that this is a massive issue, as CPs are pretty easy to come by

)
or do you mean that if i change role to ravager in battle, i'll have access to it even without having spent the CPs to pick up the skill on lightning?

I think you'll still have to pick up the skill on Lightning, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to raise the talents for the groups members individually if they just get pooled in the end.

i swore i posted on this earlier

As long as hope is in the Ravager role, and you've had enough information from previous fights, he will pick the best spell for the fight, ie if the monster is fire susceptible he'll use that etc

I think later on you get full control of the party and can change leader as required.

i may be explaining this badly

my point is that Quake is a Technique - so it uses Technique Points. so honestly, i dont think i'd want him using it whenever he thought it was a good idea

Currently on Chapter 11, planning on staying there for quite a while.

I'm pretty certain the techniques and summons are ONLY available to the party leader, I've never noticed the other party members kicking off their own anyway.

Going back to the weapon upgrading thing... I may be missing something but this seems like it's going to be a massive grind compared to the job levelling.
Over 25 hours in and all the crap I've amassed over that time is just about enough to upgrade one weapon (maybe two at a push) to the first tier max (*), and that's making use of the 3x xp bonus!
Buying more crap is another solution but I've acquired so little gil throughout the game, it wouldn't stretch very far.

At this rate, just getting a single weapon up to ultimate level is going to take an absolute age... good job the game is so damn fun!
