Subjective Analysis
The base starting class for most front-line fighting units, referred to in the game (well, also kinda in world history, too) as Knights in training. They are respectable fighters early in the game, but are quite weak compared to most of the other fighting classes.
Squires have very few sophisticated abilities, but some of its abilities are extremely important for early character growth. Focus, JP Boost, and Move +1 are all key abilities for the early part of the game. Really, Focus in particular has valid use cases in almost every battle if you want to stick with it. Beastmaster is also useful for later in the game if you use monsters in your party. Counter Tackle is cheap and not a bad counter at the beginning of the game.
