6 Keys to Maximize Your RPG Campaign

Playing in an ongoing RPG campaign takes tabletop RPG experiences to the next level. If - that is - you can keep the game going, and find ways to make the most of the experience for all players at the table.

Few gaming experiences can compare to the sense of epic destiny that envelops ongoing TTRPG (tabletop RPG) adventures. There’s a sort of threshold that’s reached once a gaming group has played multiple sessions together. Once the threshold is crossed, it pushes the story from something merely fun, to something that’s truly compelling. Once a game has gone from something your players are showing up to try out, to something they can’t wait to experience each week, you know you’re in the “flow” of a great RPG campaign.

How to Make An Entire RPG Campaign Successful

Creating the right environment for an RPG campaign to develop is key for its success. Here are my top recommendations to help you finish an entire campaign with your gaming group (more details on each bullet point provided, below):

Focus on Fun
Make Sure Everyone Gets to Participate
Create a Cohesive Story
Keep Games Consistent
Ask Yourself: Do You Really Want A Full Campaign?
Utilize an RPG Planner

Now that you know the benefits of playing a full campaign, and also that most gaming groups don’t get that full experience, you might be interested in some tools to increase your odds.

1. Focus on Fun

The best way for you to have a campaign succeed is to remember that the purpose of gaming is to have fun. Prioritize fun over having a successful campaign, and your campaign is more likely to endure.

2. Make Sure Everyone Gets to Participate

One of the main ways to keep games fun for everyone is to ensure each person at the table gets to participate in the game in the way they want. Some people will inevitably contribute more to the game than others, and that’s ok. Just so long as no one feels excluded, or unheard.

3. Create a Cohesive Story

If you are running the game’s story, or contributing to it in any way, do your best to make the story logical. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, at the start. Simply create objectives for the group, conflicts to oppose those objectives, and interesting pacing. Ultimately, there are many skills that can be mastered in telling a story. The important thing to remember is that you don’t need to become an expert. Your gaming group will benefit, however, from intentionality on your part, between games, in creating story cohesion and flow.

4. Keep Games Consistent

Try to game at the same time of day, at the same location, with a similar gaming environment, as much as you can. This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule. However, people do respond well to consistency, since they learn what to expect. This also helps with scheduling, as people can block off the same time and day each week (for example) for gaming.

5. Do You Really Want A Full Campaign?

Before telling a group of people that you want to play an entire RPG campaign, make sure it’s what you really want. As great as TTRPG campaigns are, there is a real time investment to them. If you, as the person who gets people excited about a new RPG campaign, decides part way through that you’re not interested in continuing, chances are high that the group will fall apart. If you’re unsure from the beginning, it’s often better to simply play a one-shot adventure, or perhaps a few adventures, rather than committing to an entire campaign.

6. Get an RPG Campaign Planner

Our final tip for keeping a campaign going successfully is to utilize an RPG campaign planner. Once a story develops enough, it takes on a life of its own. And it can become difficult, over time, to keep track of all the characters, locations, unique items, and side stories that emerge. Thankfully, experienced gamers have created all kinds of templates, and if you prefer to invest, products, that can be used to organize everything. RPG campaign planners make it easier to track notes of all kinds, develop storylines, and create consistency and cohesion in ongoing adventures.

Basically, you have four options when it comes to RPG campaign planners. All options are just varied combinations of either physical or digital, and free or paid:

Physical – Unpaid
Digital – Unpaid
Physical – Paid
Digital – Paid

Physical and Unpaid RPG Campaign Planner

A physical and unpaid RPG campaign planner would be something like an rpg campaign template you can find, online. It doesn’t need to be fancy, at all. To be honest, even a notebook will suffice. In fact, when it comes down to it, really anything that you can write on and take notes with, will do. Whether you search for online templates, or create your own, make sure it has space to track the following key elements:

Major Player Characters (PCs)
Major Non-Playable Characters (NPC)
Villains
Goals, Oppositions, and Inner Conflicts of All Important Characters
Unique Items
important Locations
Important Backstory/ Background Notes for Any of the Above
Side Quest Ideas from Any of the Above
Major Plot Points, both Past and Future
Opportunities for Plot Twists
Clues Given to Players that May Foreshadow Plot Points or Twists
Maps and Other Campaign Handouts

Digital and Unpaid RPG Campaign Planner

There are many digital and unpaid RPG campaign planners available online, today. Many of them take care of all the points listed, above, and even offer more tools than those. Many of these websites also offer options for paid subscriptions, but can be great resources even without. If you don’t mind having a computer or tablet at your gaming table, and don’t mind if the rest of your gaming group does as well, tech can be a great way to go. Some gaming groups find it cumbersome to have computers take up space at the gaming table, or find the technology distracting. However, this is really just a matter of preference.

Physical and Paid RPG Campaign Planner

A physical and paid RPG campaign planner would be something like a put-together book for rpg campaigns. It usually comes with artwork, interesting ideas, a high-quality cover and inside pages, and can certainly be worth the money. If one thing is true about TTRPGs, it’s that you get out what you put in. Sometimes it’s worth investing a few dollars to purchase something that helps the game session feel more “magical” to you. If you find things like artwork, nice covers, and quality notebooks to be helpful for your creativity, you may consider buying a nice RPG campaign planner. Or, even simply buying a nice leather-bound notebook.

Digital and Paid RPG Campaign Planner

Digital and paid RPG campaign planner websites, as mentioned above, often have a free version. Before paying for anything, you might first try out a site’s unpaid option. Usually, all the advanced features that come from a paid subscription aren’t especially useful until a campaign reaches a certain stage of complexity, anyways. However, once a campaign becomes pretty big, with numerous interweaving plots and characters, having an online RPG campaign planner can be very useful. Technology certainly has its place at the gaming table, as it can convey large amounts of visuals and text very simply. If you’re interested in utilizing software at your gaming table, you might check out one of the following online RPG campaign planners for yourself:

Benefits of a Long-Term RPG Campaign

There are serious benefits to playing in a long-term game. For most people (in my experience), nearly all the best moments you’ll ever have while playing tabletop RPGs will come from playing in lengthy campaigns. If you know anyone who’s played some long-term RPG campaigns, ask them – they’re likely to confirm.

This means that if you’ve never played in a long-term game, you’re probably missing out on the types of experiences you’ve always guessed TTRPGs are capable of providing (more details on each bullet point provided, below):

Connection to your Character
Connection to Locations
Connection to Villains
Connection to the Story
Epic Moments
Mastery of the Game
Comfortability Roleplaying
Increased Creativity
A Story You Look Forward To

Connection to Your Character

It takes a number of game sessions for your character’s backstory to come forward in the game, and become applicable for the current story. Once it does, though, you’ll see parts of your character come to life in ways you probably couldn’t imagine, beforehand.

Connection to Locations

Troea, the city your gaming group started in, probably doesn’t mean much the first few gaming sessions. Only after you realize the “guardian” of the city – for whom you’ve been completing important tasks – is a lich, does the city really mean something to you.

Connection to Villains

The first time you meet a villain in a story, you really don’t know if they’re going to be all that important to your character’s story. After all, they could just be a minor villain, or be overthrown by one of their own henchmen, in coming weeks or months. It’s only after you’ve faced a villain, won or lost, then had to face them again, that you see something build. Repetition of gaming sessions with the same villain creates the kind of connection where you love to hate them. Or, hate that you love them.

Connection to the Story

The results of connecting more to your character, locations in the game, villains, and everything related, is that you connect to the story. The game goes from being something merely fun and social, to something meaningful. When you connect to your game’s story, you can’t wait to see what happens next. That’s when things start getting intense.

Epic Moments

Buildup of the gaming group’s connection to the ongoing story inevitably results in emotional investment. No matter the moment – a ring falling into a volcano, the death of a demi-god, or the coronation of a king – an event is only made “epic” because of catharsis. Only players who have gamed long hours together unlock within themselves the capacity to experience epic tabletop RPG moments.

Mastery of the Game

Many things in life become more fun when we develop more skill in the activity. It might be weird to think that you can become “better” at a TTRPG, but it’s true. You can. And when you do get better at roleplaying, and better at your combat tactics, the game does feel more rewarding.

Comfortability Roleplaying

On the topic of roleplaying, if you’re someone who likes the idea of getting into character but has some difficulty finding your rhythm, long campaigns definitely help. Regular play with the same group of people tends to lower inhibition a bit. Also, the more you get invested in the campaign’s story, the easier it becomes to connect your character to the gaming world. And from there, it’s almost only natural to fall into roleplaying.

Increased Creativity

Similarly, spending more time – and becoming more invested – in a gaming world allows for creative ideas to flow more freely. Great campaigns and stories in a TTRPG group don’t just come from the game master. Instead, the best campaigns come from every member of the group creatively contributing to what happens, or what should happen, next.

A Story You Look Forward To

The biggest benefit of an ongoing RPG campaign is that the game becomes something you look forward to each time you play. There’s nothing wrong with casual games, of course. There is a difference between casual games, and deeply meaningful ongoing campaigns, however. Consider the difference between a watching a YouTube video and watching the season finale to your favorite show. No comparison, right? There’s just not the same emotional build up and intensity, until you’ve invested the time required to cross the threshold of greatness.

Is It Difficult to Keep an RPG Campaign Going?

Unfortunately, even with the many great benefits of an ongoing tabletop gaming campaign, it can be difficult to get one off the ground. Many gaming groups start out with the idea of playing an entire RPG campaign. There’s usually one person, or a couple, who becomes the driving force for getting the group together, and consistently playing.

In many cases (maybe even in most cases), however, an “RPG campaign” turns into a single one-shot adventure. Or, perhaps a few gaming sessions strung together, loosely. Then, interest in the game burns out, people get busy, or any number of life-related events take place to derail the budding storyline.

For a little context, I’ve been playing TTRPGs for about 20 years. In all my tabletop RPG experiences, I’ve played in five full-length campaigns. Besides those, I’ve played in maybe eight more partial-length “campaigns,” and began another dozen or so “campaign attempts.” The campaign I’m playing in now, if it makes the distance, will only be my sixth. It’s not easy to get a group of people together, consistently, for any length of time. It was certainly easier when I was in college. Now, as an adult, with real responsibilities, it takes a bit more effort to keep things rolling.

Try Out a New Kind of TTRPG

Sometimes, the best way to make a TTRPG campaign succeed is to try out a new game. If you’ve never played a group GM RPG before, check out Eternity TTRPG.

Campaigns in Eternity TTRPG have immense longevity to them since everyone at the table contributes to the creativity of the gaming world, NPCs, villains, storylines, and more. It’s also set up so that there’s a lot of cohesion amongst the group in the development of stories.

Have Fun With Your Next RPG Campaign

Hopefully, this article has given you some reason to try out an RPG campaign, tips to make it endure, and ideas for planning it out. The last piece of advice for you is to have fun with it. Nothing matters more, in tabletop roleplaying.

Crooked Moon: The Final Chapter and Incredible Conclusion

By Jacob Tegtman • February 3, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uajygh5mWSM Transcription “I once knew the kiss of the sun… Now, all that remains is annihilation.” This is how Crooked Moon ends. Not with a dungeon crawl. Not with a mystery. But with a reckoning—between a fallen god, a broken man, and the land they’re both about to destroy. Hey everyone, welcome back to Eternity TTRPG. If you’re new here, I break down tabletop RPGs and the great stories they tell—what they’re actually about, why they work at the table, and whether they’re worth your time. Today, we’re looking at one of my favorite campaign books of all time – and jumping right in to one of the best parts, which is the final chapter of Crooked Moon —the climactic conclusion everything in this campaign has been building toward. Jumping right in: the Wytchwood bends beneath the will of Kehlenn, the Crooked Queen —once the Green Queen, an archfey goddess of rebirth. Long ago, she ruled a world without people. A brutal, cyclical wilderness where life was short, terrifying… and natural. Then Phillip Druskenvald arrived. Somehow empowered, somehow victorious, he shattered her, buried her bones beneath a crooked oak, and reshaped the land into something civilized. Cities rose. People multiplied. And Kehlenn, broken, but somehow still alive, or conscious – remembered every second of it. Centuries of hatred twisted her into something new—not a goddess of renewal, but of vengeance. Her plan has been unfolding slowly, patiently, sacrifice by sacrifice… until now. Because Phillip has finally broken. Phillip Druskenvald was once the most powerful being in the land. Now he’s a grieving man who has lost everything. After the massacre at Rowan’s Rise earlier in the campaign book—and the death of Adela, the love of his life—Phillip retreats to the Green Queen Inn. There, surrounded by the stench of burned flesh and desperation, he turns to forbidden magic. The Old Ways. Resurrection. It fails. And in that failure, Kehlenn finally reaches him. She promises what no one else can: Adela’s soul. Redemption. A chance to undo his sins. So Phillip walks into the Wytchwood like a sacrifice that doesn’t yet know he’s already dead. This is where the players come in. They follow. The Wytchwood isn’t just a forest—it’s ancient, hostile, and alive. And it isn’t empty. Stalking the trees is The Horned King : a three-eyed, whispering embodiment of sin. A creature born from Phillip’s own soul, shaped by Kehlenn to be her consort and executioner. He doesn’t attack, but he tempts. He speaks to characters about their desires. Their doubts. Their secrets. He promises comfort. Power. Relief. This chapter isn’t just about fighting evil—it’s about confronting what your characters want most… and whether they’ll pay the price to get that desire. The whole Wytchwood is like this for the players – numerous challenging encounters, interwoven with direct and indirect influence from the shadowy horned king. Through it all, and finally, at the heart of the forest stands the Crooked Tree . Beneath it, in a root-choked barrow, Phillip kneels—bound, broken, and waiting. Kehlenn doesn’t hide anymore. She tells her story plainly. She was robbed. Forgotten. Replaced. And now, she will unmake everything Phillip built. Civilization. Memory. And identity itself. Phillip’s death, for her, will not be just vengeance—but it’s actually the final ingredient. The roots tighten. Phillip’s last word is a whisper. “Please… Adela.” And then he’s torn upward—into the tree. At this point, The true Horned King is born, with Phillip’s body and soul being the final missing piece. No longer a shadow, but a colossal, winged, horned monstrosity—part goat, part dragon, part man. Kehlenn watches from the bark of the Crooked Tree itself as the final battle begins. This is the end of Crooked Moon as a campaign. Players get to experience an amazing multi-phase fight. There’s ritual circle burning beneath a grinning moon. And, of course, a god screaming encouragement as her consort tries to tear the world apart. And when the Horned King finally falls—when his massive body collapses into blood, bone, and a single goat skull—it still isn’t over. Kehlenn still clings to the land. Sensing this, from the remains of the Horned King, a goat’s skull lies in the burning ritual circle, before the tree —cracked, it whispers to the characters, speaking with Phillip Druskenvald’s voice. Phillip, his soul barely intact, understands that killing the Horned King wasn’t enough. In reality, Kehlenn’s bond to the land still remains. Phillip’s soul, which helped fuel both the Horned King and Kehlenn’s ritual, is no longer fully consumed . So, what’s left of Phillip lingers in the goat skull as a final, conscious remnant. And in that moment, Phillip realizes that Kehlenn can only be severed from the land through sacrifice , not violence. So, the skull speaks, guiding the players toward the only remaining solution. The sacrifice to unbind Kehlenn requires that each character give something up—something meaningful. Fail, and the ritual completes. The Horned King returns. And most importantly, the world ends crooked: it continues, but in a more or less permanently corrupted state where the living are doomed to short, terrifying lives, but in an endless cycle. Succeed, however, and the Crooked Tree burns. If this happens, Kehlenn is bound to the moon she worshipped. Phillip and Adela fade together at last, their story finally at rest. Druskenvald survives. It carries the scars of what happened, and it will never be the same. And this is why Crooked Moon lands so powerfully. The finale is built on tragedy, temptation, and consequence, with an ending shaped by sacrifice rather than spectacle. What matters most is what the players are willing to give up to save the world – not just their combat stats. If you’re looking for a campaign that builds steadily toward a meaningful conclusion—one that rewards emotional investment and delivers a true sense of finality—this is the ending waiting for you in Crooked Moon. No matter how much time I spend in the Crooked Moon campaign setting, I continue to be ever more impressed. If you pick it up for yourself, I’d love to hear what experiences you have with your games! Lastly, to wrap up today’s video, I have a host of other Crooked Moon videos you may want to check out, that give greater context to this awesome campaign conclusion: race deep-dives, other adventures in the book, monstrous playable characters, the bestiary of boss monsters – and so much more. So, be sure to check out those videos if they interest you! Otherwise, thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one.

Exploring Eberron now Relaunched on D&D Beyond

By Jacob Tegtman • January 28, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eg7cXmFUVU Transcription Hey everyone! Welcome back to Eternity TTRPG. Today we’re firing up our Mark of Finding to uncover something huge for Eberron fans — the beloved sourcebook Exploring Eberron has officially relaunched on D&D Beyond as a fully supported digital release. Originally released back in 2020 on the DMsGuild as a third-party best-selling supplement by Eberron’s creator Keith Baker, Exploring Eberron was one of the most successful community books ever — and now it’s come full-circle. That means it’s now officially available on D&D Beyond, fully updated to use with the current D&D rules and integrated into D&D Beyond’s digital tools like the Character Builder and Maps VTT . So, you’re probably wondering – what’s inside the book? I’d say it’s deep content, not just lore, that the book dives into: First, we have: Setting Races & Cultures Exploring Eberron digs deep into the cultures and mindsets of iconic Eberron peoples like Changelings, Warforged, Kalashtar, Shifters, and Aereni elves. Rather than focusing on mechanics, these sections emphasize identity, societal roles, and story hooks that help these species feel rooted in the setting. Then there’s Planes of Existence & Manifest Zones The book offers a detailed look at Eberron’s unique planar system, where planes wax and wane in influence rather than remaining static. Manifest zones tie those planes directly to the world, creating locations where reality bends in ways that can dramatically shape adventures, cities, and campaigns. Next up is: Character Options Exploring Eberron includes a wide array of character options, from lore-driven subclasses to new species, feats, and spells, all updated for compatibility with the 2024 ruleset on D&D Beyond. These options are tightly woven into the setting, making them feel less like generic power boosts and more like natural extensions of Eberron’s world. One of my favorites is: Magic Items & Monsters The magic items and monsters in the book are designed to reinforce Eberron’s themes of magical industry, ancient empires, and strange planar forces. Many entries come with built-in story hooks, making them also quite useful for DMs looking to spark plot threads. And finally, we have Expanded Eberron Lore At its core, Exploring Eberron expands on the setting’s foundational lore, diving into the aftermath of the Last War, the influence of the dragonmarked houses, and the uneasy relationship between magic and technology. It provides context and nuance that help DMs portray Eberron as a world shaped by innovation, conflict, and moral ambiguity. In total, the digital book includes 6 subclasses, 10 species, 12 feats, 4 spells, over 40 magic items, and 8 monster stat blocks — not bad value. On D&D Beyond the digital book retails at $30 — basically what you’d expect for a mid-sized sourcebook. If you already own the original 2020 PDF or print version on DMsGuild, the rules aren’t exactly the same, as the original used older rulesets obviously, but the lore is still gold. So, is it worth it? If you’re deep into Eberron, love D&D Beyond functionality, or want all your content integrated cleanly into the builder and VTT, then this is a no-brainer. But if you’re happy with the DMsGuild version and don’t use Beyond much? You might stick with what you have — it’s still solid and compatible. Nothing crazy groundbreaking here, to be honest. Exploring Eberron on D&D Beyond is a fantastic evolution of one of the setting’s best third-party books, and it’s great to see it finally fully supported and updated. There is a lot here to love. Well, that is it for today, my friends. Let me know in the comments — are you grabbing this on D&D Beyond? Or sticking with your original edition? Otherwise, hit like, subscribe, and may your dice always roll well!

Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition — Classes & Jobs Explained

By Jacob Tegtman • January 20, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPQfDB2cKSI Transcription Every Final Fantasy hero starts with a choice. Sword or spell. Raw power, or skill. But in Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition, that choice doesn’t stop at your Class — it’s defined by the Jobs you choose from your class, the Circles you unlock, and the Limit Breaks that change the tide of battle. Today, we’re breaking down how Classes and Jobs actually work in Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition — and how they shape your character from level one… to the final boss. Hey everyone, welcome back to Eternity TTRPG channel! If you caught one of my recent videos from before the holidays, we went deep into the Final Fantasy TRPG: Legend Edition core rulebook — and today we’re diving into one of the most iconic elements of any Final Fantasy system: Classes and Jobs ! Whether you’re planning your first character or optimizing a seasoned hero for this recently-released game, this guide has you covered. One of the longest-standing traditions in Final Fantasy is its Job system , and Legend Edition embraces this fully. Classes in this game are the framework or chassis of your character — they determine your character’s HP, MP, trained Skills, associated Jobs, and your Class Limit Break . Jobs are where the cool stuff really happens. Each Job is a set of abilities on a progression track, granting new Features at specific levels — these are called Circles . And you don’t just pick one — your character ends up with three Jobs (or four with optional full buy-in), each advancing at a different speed to give you abilities every level. There are four broad Classes you’ll choose from. Each class has what you could consider as subclasses – in Legend Edition, these are the “Jobs.” So, for example, some of the Warrior Jobs are berserker, dervish, dragoon, fighter, monk, samurai, and so on. So, let’s dive into the four classes: Number 1 - Warrior Masters of physical combat, Warriors excel in strength, endurance, and frontline fighting. Their Limit Break — Action Surge — lets them make extra attacks during an encounter, perfect for dealing burst damage. 2. Expert Battlefield manipulators and support roles go here. Experts rely on their wits and skill versatility, and their Limit Break — Savant — adds bonus dice to Skill rolls based on their level. 3. Mage If magic is your playstyle, Mages are your go-to. They lean into Spellcasting and area of effect mechanics. Their Turbo MP Limit Break doubles the effectiveness of MP spent on magical abilities during an encounter. And number four is Adept The hybrid class — versatile, adaptable, and capable of mixing physical and magical roles. Adepts don’t have a unique Limit Break; instead, they choose one from the other three classes, based on their job build. Now here’s where Legend Edition gets fun. Across the system are 50+ Jobs drawing inspiration from classic Final Fantasy favorites — think Black Mage , Dragoon , Thief , and more — giving you a huge palette of archetypes to mix and match. Each Job grants seven Features – called Circles – over its progression, spaced across levels based on whether the Job is on a Fast, Medium, or Slow advancement track — meaning strategic choices shape how your character evolves through the campaign. So, for example, you may choose the Warrior class because you like its HP, MP, and Skill point advancement numbers, you like its limit break, and you enjoy playing that overall archetype for your character. Then, you pick three Jobs to fill out your character. Say that you want a full warrior build, so you choose your three jobs to be: Dragoon, Knight, and Monk. From here, you’d decide which of those three jobs would be on your Fast advancement track, which should go on your Medium track, and which will be on your slow advancement. Important note here though: only one of your Jobs needs to be associated with your Class. That means the rest can actually be totally outside that box — so yes, you can be a Mage-warrior hybrid if it fits your concept! You could be a warrior class, with the Dragoon, Black Mage, and Chemist jobs. So, here’s the quick breakdown of Job progression: Fast Progression: Abilities at levels 1, 3, and every 3 levels thereafter Medium Progression: Abilities at levels 1, 4, and every 3 levels thereafter Slow Progression: Abilities at 2, 5, and every 3 levels thereafter This staggering system means every level feels like a growth moment. You get new Abilities (“Circles”) from all three of your jobs at the same cadence. But at the same time, you get Circles from the Jobs that are most important to you, at earlier levels. The rule book mentions this too, but if you do want to try out this awesome system, I’d recommend that you don’t stress too much about your first Job choices. There’s a ton of options here, which is great for replayability, and experimenting with side campaigns. But, there’s also too many Jobs to really nail down what you want to ideally play, the first time you try out this game. Probably instead, just pick classes that sound fun, and give it a whirl. To wrap up this video, I’m going to cover my personal favorite Job from each of the first three Classes. Since there’s over 50-jobs, there’s too many for me to dive into – at least today. But hopefully these quick snapshots give you a picture of how Jobs work, what kind of Abilities each provides, and some inspiration for your upcoming game: If I was to play a Warrior Job, I’d start with Dragoon: As you probably know, Dragoons are also often known as Dragon Knights . Dragoons are aerial combat specialists who use momentum for power. Originally trained to pierce the hides of massive foes like dragons, their style revolves around leaping high above the battlefield and crashing down with overwhelming force. Depending on the setting, Dragoons may hunt dragons, fight alongside them, or carry on their legacy after their extinction — but they’re almost always portrayed as guardians who stand against towering threats . In play, Dragoons are defined by the Jump and Blood of the Dragon Circles . Jump removes them from the battlefield for a round before returning with an automatic, high-impact strike. Meanwhile, critical hits generate Blood of the Dragon to fuel powerful Dragon Arts , which are the Dragoon’s situational combat techniques that modify your attacks, defenses, or Jump actions, for additional benefits. Next up, for the expert class, I’d probably start with Squire – I just have so many good memories from playing Final Fantasy Tactics: Instead of perfecting a single discipline, Squires develop adaptability through experience and improvisation. That flexibility makes Squires exceptional team players , able to step into gaps and support allies in many situation. Mechanically, the Squire revolves around Fundaments — where they grant short-term bonuses to allies based on that ally’s Class. Warriors hit harder, Experts perform better at skills, Mages cast more effectively, and Adepts can receive whichever boost fits the moment. As the Squire advances through their Circles, they can grant Fundaments to multiple allies at once, add secondary effects like increased damage or longer debuffs. I’m not always a team buffer kind of guy, but I do like the way Squires here make everyone else better , turning party coordination into a great strength. For my third Job, I’ll choose from the Mage class. This one’s really hard for me as I could see myself actually going like 3/3 mage, or maybe 2/3, at least. But, if I had to pick just one for my remaining Job slot, I’d go with Necromancer: Necromancers are reclusive magic-users whose art is inseparably tied to death and the Shadow. Often misunderstood or feared, they’re immediately recognizable by their Bone Commander — an undead construct that serves as both assistant and bodyguard. While some Necromancers lean into darker reputations, others act as shamans or intermediaries, communing with spirits to resolve unfinished business or bring peace to the dead. Their morality isn’t defined by their magic, but by how they choose to wield it. In play, Necromancers are spellcasters with access to the Necromancy spell list and a powerful Companion system . Their Bone Commander acts on their shared action economy, providing combat presence without needing its own stats or hit points. Their Limit Break, Friends on the Other Side , allows damage from the party to count as Shadow damage, supercharging Necromancer features and reinforcing their role as battlefield controllers who blur the line between ally and undead asset. So! There you have it. From adaptable Squires and sky-shattering Dragoons to shadow-touched Necromancers and beyond, Legend Edition’s Classes and Jobs are all about expression through choice . Your Class sets the foundation, but your Jobs — and how you progress them — define how your character actually plays at the table. Legend Edition feels... unmistakably Final Fantasy. What I really want to know is... from the 50+ jobs available in Legend Edition, what three Jobs would best define your Character? List your Jobs in the comments. Otherwise, thanks for watching!
