FF characters are which job?

[Niqote]

VIII

Squall: Gunblade
Rinoa: Beastmaster
Zell: Monk
Irvine: Sharpshooter
Quistis: Blue Mage
Selphie: The End

[Fevelle]

I would put Terra as a Summoner (half-primal)

[Freyyy]

Tellah - hes a bit of an exception since he knows mostly every spell ingame (but doesnt has the MP to use them...) - maybe a BLM who doesnt knows about his stances...? Or a WHM whos constantly running ooM? I would say: hes a BLM for me since I'm always using him like one...

Tellah is a Sage. The job appeared in FFIII as an ultimate mage able to use both white and black magic at their maximum level but with a limited MP pool.

Same goes for FuSoYa.

To answer the OP : Almost every character in past FF games officially had a job (Only I, III and V don't, II's characters can do anything but background-wise and base stat-wise they have a job), but we don't have nearly all of these jobs in FFXIV yet (and we probably won't have them ALL).

I know that - but I was trying to find jobs within FFXIV to fit them best xD (I can see why we dont have a Sage in FFXIV...)

Khimari : DRG

Just because he has a lance it doesn't make him a DRG. He's a blue mage actually, just like Quistis from FFVIII or Quina from FFIX.

FF7 (Which originally had the characters be specific jobs before they scrapped the idea)
Cloud - Mystic Knight
Barret & Vincent - Gunner
Tifa - Monk
Aerith - White Mage
Red XIII - Beast
Cait Sith - Gambler
Cid - Dragoon
Yuffie - Ninja
Sephiroth - Samurai

FF8
Squall & Seifer - Warrior
Rinoa - Beastmaster/Berserker

Selphie - Gambler

FF9
Zidane - Thief

Other games either already have defined jobs for each character (1, 4, 6,), or can be whatever job the player wants out of those available (2, 3, 5, 12, 13).

He's a hybrid actually, the offline games do that a lot.

[Kuwagami]

Just because he has a lance it doesn't make him a DRG. He's a blue mage actually, just like Quistis from FFVIII or Quina from FFIX.

Except he jumps, and has a few dragon abilities (granted he learns them through blue magic but still).

Khimari is actually a DRG/BLU hybrid. Just like many other characters in single player FF games are hybrids because they have to fill in various roles from tanky damage dealer to supportive healer, in a party of 3 or 4 which is supposed to handle any situation thrown at their face

[Eul]

I kinda disagree on those (based on my tests, but in the end that is personnal preference).
For me, it's more like :
Penelo : Red Mage
Ashe : Samurai
Balthier : Lancer (Ulhan in FFxii)

OP says FF14 jobs. I can even mention those jobs if not only FF14 jobs :/

[Ykronix]

I'll take FFVIII because its the only FF I know by heart.

Squall - DRK. He's not noble or anything. He kinda does stuff cause people think he's the best guy for the job and only really gets motivated to do anything by his boner for Rinoa.

Seifer - DRK. 'Hey I'll help you burn the world I have no friends' kinda guy.

Rinoa - BLK. Despite using Angelo, her true nature leans more towards her being [SPOILERS]a godless force of magical destruction.[/SPOILERS]

Zell - PUG. Duh. Zell's the reason why I love that class honestly.

Selphie - AST. Going from her special limit break skills, she fits more of a support role, casting healing and barrier-type magic, plus the wildcard 'wtf how'd you learn to do that??!' spells. Also the randomness of her being able to draw such spells.

Irvine - MCH. Sharpshooter extraordinaire.

Quistis - Er...we don't have a Blue Mage class. She doesn't really fit into any other role besides that. Dominatrix maybe.
