Zodiac Age - What to consider when choosing job combinations?

So I recently bought the zodiac age for my new console as I loved the original game.

I am starting to get to grips with the job system etc. but wondered if anyone had done any hard research on job combinations.

1) What combination of jobs has the most overlap? (license board)

2) Are there other game mechanics that I should know about when choosing what combination of jobs to assign to characters?

Bushi/Shikari is actually considered one of the best for dealing damage to Yiazmat, and really, you can utilize any job combination if you really want to. What you really want to worry about is which character is best for what, like Ashe/Penelo have the best MP, Fran has the best vit, Balthier the best speed, Basch is the best strength, and Vaan is the jack of all trade. Even then, you can have a Time Mage Basch and it won't really matter. So long as you pick what you think would be a fun or useful combo.

If you really want to plan it out, copy and paste this into your own sheets pages and swap jobs from there: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qM7wr8k2H_b9OAToAgPsPip8QAjB2ET6z22jHDy4wCs/edit#gid=1059552339

These are some good resources that demonstrate that any combination can have potential:
