It ' s important to realize 2 things 1 . Lorewise , the Warrior of Light who from your point of view as you ' re playing the game is your character is in a very special and privileged position . But of course you can ' t really hold up that you ' re the Warrior of Light when you start RPing . Unfortunately most jobs are not really accessible to anyone but the Warrior of Light and whoever is giving you the job quests . Even those that are , such as Dragoon , are different for the Warrior of Light than for most people . 2 . This being Final Fantasy , you can waive a lot of those constraints with a good enough explanation . One I commonly see is that someone obtained a soulstone through other means , or that your character has done a lot of research in their field and taught themselves ways to emulate the ancient techniques that would normally flow forth from a soulstone , or that their style of combat is just very similar to that of the job .
