Freelancers

If you've undertaken a Natural Crystal challenge, then you have to play by some special rules.  Instead of immediately having all four characters in the same job when you get your first, only one character will be in the job for the crystals you've unlocked - the others will all remain Freelancers.
"Oh hell", you might be thinking, "Why do I have to be stuck with someone who's useless?"  Don't think that way.  Freelancers might not have the amazing stats of other classes or access to active abilities, but they don't NEED it.
Freelancers have the ability to use every single piece of equipment in the game.  EVERY ONE.
Make use of this.  Give them weapons to target a boss' elemental weakness.  Let them wield - and break - spare rods.  Get weapons that cause ailments.  Give them shields, give them great accessories, make the goddamn most of them and then be amazed when they turn out to be really versatile.
And then mourn the fact you have to give them up for another goddamn berserker because you're playing Berserker Risk and Gilgamesh Bot hates you.
