Favourite Final Fantasy "Jobs / Classes"

[NRool]

What's your favourite Jobs?
Anything from 1-14, Tactics, or any number of insane spinoffs are fine, as long as they classes as a job.

Personally, I'm very partial to Red Mages and Geomancers.
boring choices, but hey.

 

[Chaos]

Can't pick just one, so... here is a top four!

1. Black Mage.

I used to think they where really cool when I played the first game, but then when I was a teen I went through this whole "I hate magic users" phase for whatever reason. Either way Black Mage was always a cool little guy, very iconic sprite from the first game and of course just an engine of destruction. Playing as a Black Mage in Final Fantasy XIV has been amazing and a lot of fun. I just love destroying things with magic it seems.

2. Dragoon

I like polearm weapons, their armor looks awesome, and the jump ability I always thought was cool even if you did have to wait on it. A team of all Dragoons in Final Fantasy Tactics made me giggle.


3. Gambler/Corsair/Lady Luck

Does this count? It doesn't show up as often as other jobs in the game, but I love the whole gambling aspect. Using cards as weapon, relying on the roll of the dice. Setzer was my favorite character from Final Fantasy VI and it's actually what got me into playing poker and such. Corsair was also my main job on FFXI, it didn't throw cards, but I got to shoot elemental ones with my gun as well as buff people with dice rolls. Hitting that XI and getting the best buff for the party was so sweet, but busting was a bummer.


4. Gunner

Not really an official job (or at least I don't think it was?) until Final Fantasy X-2, i just like well shooting things sometimes. I suppose Vincent and Barret would count since their weapons are guns, but only Barret had limit breaks that really shot anything. Irvine in Final Fantasy 8 had more gun play with his due to all the different ammo types. Still just because it's a fantasy game I like that they've introduced this job and the idea of just shooting the crap out of your opponent. I guess this one has a bit more character force behind it for me, and maybe Corsair could fit here too, but yeah my other favorite way to blow up faces is with a good new fashioned gun. ;D

 

[Amicitia]

Monk and Dragoon for having the coolest weapons of choice.

 

[Kaimi]

I love summoners! Just thinking that I could summon a powerful beast that could swipe all of my enemies under the carpet sounds fun and quick way to win.

 

[Aethergoggles]

Paladins LOL. Though I am incredibly fond of all the spellsword characters, like the FFT runic knights, bangaa gladiator, red mages, and the early knight classes who could use white magic.

 

[Leon Aether]

Summoners, Black Mages, White Mages just for stylish and abilities reasons! The summoning and magical effects always attracted me in games, that's why I always use such abilities during battle (even though I hate MP consumption)! Then for melee jobs, I would definitely choose dragoons and thieves. Dragoons have unique abilities and thieves, well... Who doesn't like to steal from huge bosses?

 

[Stealth]

In Final Fantasy V I was always partial to time mage

 

[Nikolasvanitas]

Dragoon ,Warrior in FFXIV,Palladin and Black Mage

 

[Squirrel Emperor]

Red Mage. I like the costume.

 

[gaiages]

Geomancers are pretty ballin'.

I also like Red Mages, because of their versatility. Yeah, sure, they aren't the best at anything, but they can do a lot of stuff alright.

Thieves are cool, but only really in XI.

 

[Slayn Bacon]

Gun peeps are always a favorite for me, mainly from FFTA and FFTA2.

 

[Varnis]

I like whichever Class has the highest Speed, so the Theif or Ninja is one I like, but I guess my favorite class is whatever you would classify Tidus as.

 

[Amiti]

1) Black/White Mages: My heroes when it came down to pure strategic fighting.

2) Ninjas: Speed, dexterity, and throwing inventory at Bosses FTW.

3) Dragoons: I enjoy my jump attacks. A lot. Too much...

 

[masterlobo]

Dark Knight all the way baby!

Incoming PS2 FFXI resolution pics.

Me as a Dark Knight.

Me as a Dark Knight crushed by Omega Weapon.

And me about to fight myself a few weeks before A Realm Reborn came out (I've abandoned XI since then):

Of course, let's not forget THE Dark Knight

Last but not least, I really liked the Dark Knights' design in FFTWotL.

 

[Kumomeme]

i love dragoon..the jump attack pretty awesome

 

[MickMc]

I don't know if it really counts, but I love the Ravagers in XIII. The animations were lovely to look at and they were so useful. If Ravagers don't count then I'll say Black Mage, since it's basically the same thing.
