So with two people who still matter to Ramza- Alma and Delita- plus maybe Folmarv, and things having escalated pretty far already. I don't know how much game the game has left. I doubt that much grinding is desired once you hit the for-real endgame, whatever it ends up being. Omi, do you want any degree of hints about how to unlock a certain class or would you rather let the dice fall however they may?

God, what a smug prick.
But you know what?
I can be smugger.
Gillian, end his entire bloodline.
Imagine being a level multiple of 5 in my girl's perception range. Couldn't be me.
Zalbaag: "Ramza! It is all as you've said! Dycedarg enkindled this war and slew the duke. All to feed his own ambition. He has sullied our name, brought scorn upon our house - he must be made to pay!"
Ramza: "He shall, Lord Brother!"
Okay, Zalbaag having all these cool Ark Knight Abilities and instead deciding to just walk up to his brother and stab him in the face is very funny. Who needs cool magical sword tricks when your brother has betrayed everything your house stands for and you've got a trusty length of still to gift him in return, up close and personal?
Ramza is still at the other end of the stairs, and the Knight previously wounded by Agrias approaches him to try and strike him down with a sword blow.
This has the predictable result of Ramza countering with a First Strike, instantly taking down the Knight.
All adds are gone. Dycedarg is the only enemy left. And it is Zalbaag's turn.
The righteous(ish) brother strikes down the patricide. Pure poetry.
We're going to need to beat Adrammelech in two rounds with only three active units, one of whom is on the brink of death. And neither Agrias nor Ramza are even in range of the demon this round.
Mustadio is down. Gillian is down. Hadrian is down. Their counters are ticking down. Only Ramza and Agrias are left.
But it's enough.
Agrias's final Hallowed Bolt hits for another 374 damage. With a total of 1558 damage, the Lucavi is brought down.
Adramellech explodes in a burst of light, leaving behind his Zodiac Stone. No trace remains of Dycedarg and Zalbaag. Ramza sums it up all in one grim sentence:
House Beoulve is no more. This edifice of honor and legacy and treachery and war, long crumbling, is finally dust. Dycedarg dealt the killing blow long ago, when he slew his own father and pretended it was because he was letting pass a chance to advance their House's interest; he then made the Beoulves party to treachery, civil war, death and famine, and slew his own lord. Zalbaag, seeing too late his older brother for the man he truly was, attempted to redeem this disgrace in blood, making himself a fratricide. In spite and sheer survival instinct, Dycedarg reached out to the stone, made himself a monster, slew his brother in turn, and perished by the commands of his youngest brother.
Ramza is all that remains. Ramza, the heretic, infamous across all of Ivalice, a hunted man. Alma is the only one who could carry the name Beoulve now.
But of course… There is more to it than that. More to the fall of house Beoulve than tragedy.
Ramza: "House Beoulve is no more. But what does it matter? We are the sum of our deeds, not our names."
Ramza: "Alma… I will find you, Alma."
We are the sum of our deeds, not our names. And if that isn't the entire thrust of the game summed up in one sentence. Of course, it refers in part to the question of nobility, of whether blood and names matter - in a story filled with adopted children, half-brothers, illegitimate children, conspiracies of unknown parentage, and so on, in which the common-born Delita has established himself as one of the foremost nobles in the kingdom and Ramza been cast out, deeds matter more than names. But it's not just that - it's everything about the way Ramza vanishes from history, the way the Church tars his name, the way he is remembered as nothing more than a rogue and a heretic.
It is tragic, that Ramza's true deeds were suppressed for so long. But it's not what matters. What matters is what he did.
He is the sum of his deeds, not what history remembers him by.

I imagine you also checked out the other hidden job, and decided you also aren't going after that one? You know, the one whose requirements are "Squire level 8, Chemist level 8, Geomancer level 5, Dragoon level 5, Orator level 5, Summoner level 5"?
It would be cool of Ramza unlocked Dark Knight after killing Gaffgarion, even if others could unlock it the old-fashioned way.
It DOES let Ramza use the Tynar Rouge to become the ultimate ambiguously gendered twink.
Agrias is a vampire now, she needs that makeup to hide the deathly pallor.
...then again, Agrias was there, and her faith is a shield proof against your blandishments.
You're thinking of the other Job WotL added, Onion Knight, which Omicron already unlocked several updates ago, and which has a different unlock mechanics. The one I'm talking about was in the PSX version, and does not allows Ramza to equip perfumes and other female equips.
It's a WotL addition.
Because that's where the Templars are? It's not too complicated, he went to Limberri first because Elmdore told him he was holding Alma there, but then Alma wasn't there, and Meliadoul confirmed that Folmarv was behind everything, and also informed him of the "Dycedarg got a Zodiac Stone" plot. So, obviously the next two stops after Limberri have to be Eagrose and Mullonde; it's just surprising that Ramza prioritized going after his brothers than after his sister, but the plot motivation for both were established in Limberri. The logic seems pretty solid to me.
And to think that all Dycedarg had to do was offer Ramza a unique knight class and he'd take over the world.
Adrammelech, the Wroth is unleashed.
Yeah, there's a reason that The Lion's War (a mod for the PS1 version that aim to backport the WotL-added content) cahnges the Dark Knight unlock conditions to Knight 8, Wizard 8. This way it's still a Job you have to work to unlock, but it's doable in normal play with a bit of focus instead of being a grind and half.i'm gonna be real with you after unlocking all the "conventional" jobs including following the thread's hints to dancer (and deciding not to pursue bard) i decided to just look up what the hidden special job was and its unlock requirements and
