The Squire class forms the foundation of the warrior career path and is the most balanced with regard to attack strengths and types. While this Job Class isn’t the strongest compared to the Knight class, with its HP and Armor bonuses, or the safest compared to the Archer class, with its long range attacks, Squires are still sturdy fighters and a good complement to the Attack Team in the game’s early stages.

The ability Throw Stone is the most important of the Squire's action skills to pick up. This skill allows the character to throw a stone at a target within a radius of four panels. Although the damage this does may be minimal compared to that of an arrow, it's still a very effective attack in the first chapter; it does damage, but, more importantly, it earns the character JP. In addition to choosing Throw Stone, make sure you train in the Squire class long enough to pick up the support ability Gained JP Up and the movement ability Move +1. Both of these are crucial in the beginning stages of the game when faster development is key to survival and a larger movement radius gives you better access to the front line or a safe out-of-the-way spot.
Pros
- Well-balanced character with regard to movement, speed, and abilities.
- Skills were created for beginning fighters and aid in movement and job development.
Cons
- In the early parts of the game, this class is vulnerable to attacks because it's not as strong and protected as its companions on the front line (Knight and Monk).
