welcome to watch mojo.com. and today we will be counting down our picks for
The Top 10 Final Fantasy Classes
only powerful in their respective games but also iconic to the series and
well-known to role playing gamers everywhere
[woosh]
we're looking for the best of the best from this long-running series of JRPGs
so let's select our party
Number 10-Dark Knight
[slice slice]
one of the coolest classes in the series. The Dark Knight rose to fame thanks to
Final Fantasy 4. and the iconic journey of Cecil a knight from the kingdom of Baron
who had to cleanse his blade of darkness to take on true evil
the dark knight sacrifices his own HP to deal more damage, making it unmistakeably
bad ass as it sheds through enemies,and man just look at that sleek armor
Number 9 - Monk
the monk lives by a code of less is more. While this melee fighter usually comes
with little equipment, it can devastate enemies by enjoying increased damage from
fighting bare fisted
that's right don't be surprised to see a monk out damaging your characters
swords and spells with his bare hands
throw in its useful martial arts abilities and some elemental claws and
you've got a one-man two-fisted army
Number 8 - Thief
Thief: OH!
Thief: Check it out! I got his wallet
Knight: [Laughs] NICE!
CHAOS DEMON OF DESTRUCTION: HEY!!!
quick crafty and sporting a love for all things shiny
The thief is a great asset to any final fantasy party
[Japanese]
Known for their stealing abilities
the thief make sure your inventory is full of rare and powerful items
taken straight from the hands of your enemies
Made even more popular in Final Fantasy 9
the first game to feature a thief as a main character
this class is a popular and handy choice.
Thief: hah! Guys!
Check it out hes got nine... no wait Ten! TEN!
different sandwitch cards!
CHAOS DEMON OF DESTRUCTION: Okay guys HAHA
jokes on chaos
I like meatball subs, I mean who doesn’t?!
Number 7 - Red Mage
jack of all trades master of none
if there's ever been a class to live up to this saying it's the Red Mage
able to use basic black and white magic as well as being potent with a sword
The Red Mage patches up any holes your team might have quite nicely
they might suffer later in the game when they've been outpaced by other classes
but with a secret ability or two and a great amount of versatility
the Red Mage still earns its spot on the team
and who can say no to that stylish hat?
Number 6 - Knight
if one strategy prevails in all RPGs
it's hit your enemy with a sword until they fall over and that just about sums
up the knight in a nutshell
they're basically upgraded versions of the basic fighter or warrior class
they hit harder
they take more damage
and in some games, even come with an elementary knowledge of white magic
you can't go wrong with throwing a knight into the fray, and watching them chop up
the opposition
Number 5 - Ninja
Ninja : Morning!
lurking in the shadows with a sword in each hand and an arsenal
of shuriken and ninja scrolls. the Ninja is a deadly and powerful class
these stealthy warriors are known for their ability to duel-wield
and for their ability to throw just about any item in your inventory to deal massive damage
they're a popular choice thanks to the series favourites like Edge and Shadow
and they are a powerful addition to any team.
Yuffie: Yuffie Kisaragi!
Feast your eyes on...
Woah?..oh!..oh!
[Forceful Thud] Yuffie: Ow!
Number 4 - White Mage
you might think you've assembled
the strongest team of fighters in all the land.
but who's going to keep them all alive
when they are charging head-first into battle?
Knight: cast cure you insufferable dick!
we can't afford to lose!
Knight: The entire world is...[interrupted] White Mage: naw man its cool i got this
that's where the White Mage comes in. In their iconic red and white robes the
long list of healing spells all designed to save your bacon
But let's not forget their legendary spell Holy
which turns them into massive damage dealers at the same time
a white mage is a must... at least if you care about staying alive at all.
Number 3 - Dragoon
Dragoon: I will choose whom to serve.
there are few attacks more extreme than jumping
hundreds of feet into the air to strike a deadly blow down on your enemy and
that is exactly what the dragoon loves to do.
experts at using spears and pole-arms. dragoons leap into action...literally
with their iconic jump ability that keeps them from harm and delivers
devastating damage. some dragons can even call on the ancient magic of dragons
as if they needed to be any more badass than they already were
dragons drive
with all my strength!
Number 2 - Summoner
Belgemine: Ah the high summoners daughter. I’ve heard much of you
Whether you want to call them Esper's,Eidelons, Aeons
or whatever else.
everyone can agree that having the Godlike power of
mythological beasts on your side is a win
and that's exactly what the Summoner brings to thetable
popular characters like Rydia, Dagger and Yuna
have made some owners of a beloved part of the series
even if their attacks or sometimes a little over the top
we're looking at you Bahamut-ZERO
before we reveal our top pick
here are a few honourable mentions
forsake the darkness you once embraced
or the light will find no hold
Number 1 - Black Mage
with their straw hats blue robes and glowing eyes there's no doubt that the
black mage is the most iconic of final fantasy classes and it has a mega ton of
power to boot
whether they're burning to a crisp or raining Thunder down on the battlefield
the Black Mage always leaves its mark with its devastating elemental magic
and when they take it up to eleven summoning meteors
or using the legandary ultima
you're gonna want that straw hat on your side.
