Currently playing through Tactics - doing a 'Truely Old School' challenge.
Basically, you can only use jobs/abilities that were available to you in Final Fantasy I.
I've got 6 characters, but can only use 4 per story battle. For random battles I work up my five support characters.
Ramza: Knight
5 male generics, as follows:
Knight
Theif
Ninja
Red Mage (Priest w/Equip sword and black magic)
White Mage
I got through most of the game (I'm in ch. 4) without too much fuss... I had to reload a few times during certain battles though, and got pwn'd by a group of chocobos (3 yellow, 1 black, 1 red) and a Mindflare.
