From Final Fantasy Wiki
Squire is a job class from Final Fantasy Tactics. The basic physical job class, it is from here that all physical job classes start. On their own, Squires lose usefulness after chapter 1. It takes 1470 JP to master the generic form of this job.
Ramza, Delita and Argath are all Squires. Ramza and Delita, however, learn some techniques that other Squires can't, and have better base stats, whilst Argath can use two Knight Rend techniques. The Squire's skill-set, barring the action abilities, is also the model for unique characters' special classes, and these classes also replace the Squire in the job menu, preventing such characters using it.
This job serves as the foundation for all others, forming the first step on the road to becoming a mighty warrior.
