There are quite a few ways to get such spells.
White Mage, Bard, Dancer all have abilities that can confuse enemies and get them to cast the spells. And any class that can equip knives (That is, most of them) can equip the Dancing Dagger to confuse them too.
Zane said:No way for me to steal that
You don't steal it. It's in a treasure chest in Moogle Village.
Just a quick text update!
Over the weekend I've managed to get all my jobs and just finished the the desert pyramid temple thing, got my legendary weapons (all three that my classes can use ... mystic knights using the dagger, beastmaster's rockin the whip, and my chemist has the staff.. poor white mage gets nothing! :[ )
When I get home from work today (approx 4 hours from this post) I'll be streaming/playing more! I'm aiming to try and get a couple more of the tablets, we'll see
Also, all of this is permanently recorded and available on my JTV account!

Dragoon might be more difficult than dancer, since Dancer gives everyone the capability of having ribbons.
Alright so the twitterbot replied and I'm gonna be a Blue Mage for the Wind Crystal. Any tips? After work I'm going to have to read through the thread and find other Gafers that have the same setup.
So when I get the Blue Mage job do I set my entire party to Blue Mages or just one? Furthermore when I get each subsequent job what do I do, do I leave one person as Blue Mage and set the rest to the new job or what? What are the rules here?

Dragon Fang + Potion leads to Dragon Power. This adds +20 to a character's level and it stacks. The results are pleasant to say the least.
Then Galuf kills Ex-death and I win the game! Time to pay up Segata, Stump, and Squall!
...oh right.

Correct me someone if I'm wrong, but it's:
When you have 1 class, you must have all 4 party members as that class.
When you have access to 2 classes, you can have a combination of 1x3 or 2x2.
etc until each of your 4 party members are their own unique class.
You can only use the classes the bot chooses for you.

You must set your entire party to blue mage until you get access to the second crystal job, at which point you may start having some variation.
You must have at least one of each unlocked class in your party, and you may only use the classes you have unlocked.
So if you get red mage next, your party could either be: 3 blue mage 1 red mage, 2 blue mage 2 red mage, or 1 blue mage 3 red mage.
Lots of stuff today.
Exdeath was a BITCH to take down. Especially with Zombie Breath zombying three of my party members! Once he went WTF mode I had to get shell and blink on all my party just to avoid getting destroyed. Had to fight him a good three-four times.
Got to world 3 and man I hate these things. (On my second encounter with them, I found that Break Sword works on them. Whoops!)
Boring. Next.
Now we're talking.
How do you beat this guy with a White Mage, Mystic Knight, Ninja, Chemist party?
My first strategy was trying to mix up a Antilixir by mixing an Elixir and Dark Matter. It would not work. Reset the game.
My next strategy was trying to Berserk the dude and kill him with Break sword. I berserked him, break sword failed, and came to the horrible realization that he hits stupidly crazy hard. Time to redo the tower again.
My third try I though, maybe I could kill all of his MP with Osmose Sword while he is berserked, while I hide behind !Image and Blink. Success! I drained most of his MP. Then I realized that I could have just been attacking him the whole time. Whoops! Slapped Osmose on my sword, berserked Faris, and went to town while Lenna kept Image up on both members.
In short, it is possible to beat this guy easily with White Mage + Anything.
Now I can destroy the rest of this game with my newly acquired magic!
Here is my party as of two tablets and Fork Tower completed into world 3.

Galuf: The traveling around this job brings us is certainly a plus.
And as well as getting to know your coworkers more.
Like with every occupation, no matter how mundane, workplace safety is always a priority.
Even more so when your workplace is a graveyard of undead beings.
Faris: I think we're all getting the hang of this magic thing. Just learning one spell at a time.
Galuf: Poison flowers and poison arrows. A shame we have no medical plan to help us out in these times.
Lenna: I really wasn't feeling too great but you can't really have a sick day in this line of work. I managed to power through it and that new sleep spell did a lot of the work.
(Sleep makes Forza just a wall of hp for my mages to slowly pick at)
J: Lenna's got a lot of connections. I wonder if she can land me a stable post somewhere.
Faris: J took a hit today on site. I guess it's bound to happen sooner or later to any of us. We'll be fine after we take a rest at the inn but we've got to take care of ourselves. Good thing we're a team that can cover each other.
(That Flame rod I got from those Ricard Mage's really helped out)
Galuf: We've happened upon another job opportunity. It's a different line of magecraft but a very similar trade to what we do now. I feel like at least one of us should take it so we can branch out our skills as a whole. Perhaps if we can collect enough of such assets, we four can have a fine business venture.
(Black Mage and Time Mage, things are moving pretty smoothly for me)

This is for all those you gave Berserker to.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gZQg2QW0I0
This is for not giving me Chemist.
On the bright side, I have a full party again.
Aqua Breath was kind of tough to get. I had to put all my dudes in the back row and then wait around for the monster to cast the spell. He did, and only Galuf died. Then I immediately broke a Frost Rod, which killed the monster in one hit. ...It was harder than it sounds, trust me.
The next dungeon was the Library of Ancients. This is a pretty inventive dungeon.
Aera is a great spell.
Moon Flute berserks all your dudes.
Free healing! I think I used this thing about fifty million times.
Here's why. Before going any further into the dungeon, I went outside and grinded Bartz to level 20. The fast-forward key helped immensely here.
And here's the reward for my grinding: An instant-death spell that is effective against a surprisingly large amount of bosses. I had to grind to 20 because you can only learn spells if they actually work on you and when I got here, I was only level 17.
Ifrit is a unique summon in that you need to get him to progress.
He's easy, though! Powered up my Mystic Knights and Geomancer with Blizzara Spellblades and used the Blue spell Vampire when I needed healing.
Byblos is easy. Here's how you kill him...
Death Claw works on Byblos and it immediately brings his HP down to a single digit (also paralyzes him).

An Enhancer can be found in Istory Falls, no need to steal.
Where's the Frost Rod before climbing the mountain? Screwed myself at the boss fight by not being able to deal damage, going to cheese her and had to load an earlier save and climb back up to where I was. *sigh*

In the port town in one of the crates, you have to go through a hidden passage to reach it.

The second world! Many of the meteorite bosses didn't pose much of a problem for my reformed team (Bartz: Berserker, Lenna: White Mage, Faris: Samurai). Before facing Titan, I went back to North Mountain to confuse some Gaelicats. You see, when confused, a Gaelicat has a chance of casting Float on a Party Member, so I confused mobs of them until they cast Float on all of my party members. With Bartz and Faris on offense and everyone floating, Titan quickly went down without causing any damage.
The Parabolos boss was a bit more tricky, during my first battle with them, I was unlucky enough to have three of them use Self-Destruct on their first turn. Game Over. The second battle went much more smoothly, with Bartz and Faris attacking, and Lenna using MT Silence spells to keep them from reviving everyone. Manticore was no problem too. I even went in without healing from the Parabolos fight, and still defeated him. Then again, I was lucky that he didn't use Aqua Breath. Thus, with all of the meteors powered up, I stocked up on Tents and Ethers at Lix and finished the Shiva side-quest that I forgot to do earlier, then left for the Second World, switching the jobs of Bartz and Faris to prepare for the Abductor battle.

It took hours and countless reloads, but I managed to defeat the hardest boss in the game.

Looks like I'm joining the Geomancer army. Should be interesting, but I'm more and more glad I drew Knight as these later jobs get revealed.

Gilgamesh being a huge waste of space and time.
Ex-death had zero chance.
The bard is of course the star of the Pyramid. Any enemy that is immune to Requiem falls to Charm or Stop so it's easy peasy.
Yeah...
I'm still way early in the game right now; just now fighting Magissa. Grinded for a little while (Using the +Speed on the emulator... I feel dirty) and bought a bunch of potions. Still rolling with four thieves.
So far I've only used it for that little bit of grinding I did before the Magissa fight, everything else has been normal. Only made it to level 11 anyway, so I don't think I went overboard. I'm glad I did thought seeing how much in game time it took to do all that.
*edit*
Holy shit I just ran into Jackanapes. Im boned.
