[DrunkShogun]

Dragoon, machinist and dark knight. Always wanted to like samurai but always found t disappointing.

 

[.JayZii]

I'm torn between Black Mage (FFTactics' are my favorites) and Red Mage. Both are super iconic.

 

[Kirie]

Always a White Mage. Healing just always appeals to me for some reason

 

[Movalpolos]

Take a guess.

 

[RavenXtra]

Summoner for sure!

 

[Kyari]

Dancer! Thanks largely to FFXI.

Honourable mentions to Blue Mage and Red Mage though.

 

[rrastelli]

In XI Red Mage was my favorite

 

[ohkay]

Dragoon because Kain is the best character in all of FF

 

[Rad-]

Red Mage or Dragoon.

 

[.JayZii]

Take a guess.

Dancer?

 

[sora87]

I'm counting Catmancer seems the Bravely games are the best FF games since IX.

 

[cireza]

Berserker.

 

[Souless Squirrel]

Love that Red Mage outfit and the class is probably tied with ninja for my favorite.

 

[DJIzana]

Dragoon has always been my go to in FF games.

Runners up would be Monk, Paladin and Summoner.

 

[Mcdohl]

I had a soft spot for Dark Knight because it was my main in FFXI.

Ditto.

I didn't like DRK in XIV though

 

[notaskwid]

Dragoon and Red Mage. I guess Freya (I know she is not a mage).

 

[zashga]

Probably blue mage. Cool abilities, sweet masks and scimitars. What's not to like?

 

[Taruranto]

Black Mage. Followed by SMN.

Played a BLM for years in FFXI.

In FFXIV I was a SCH, but that's because it was the only job with some complexity and FFXIV BLM is... ugh.

 

[rrvv]

Any job with dual blade

 

[DarkKyo]

Dark Knight, motherfucker. It's the most badass. Dark magics and heavy weapons with little regard to defense and health. Aside from FF14 it's such a heavy hitting class.. so satisfying.

Also, I quite like Puppetmaster from FF11. The automatons are so awesome looking!

 

[Ashodin]

I don't ever play Red Mage, but its easily the coolest and most "Final Fantasy" to me.

Most iconic is still Black Mage, though.

I like it's more kickass brother, Magic Knight

(or in FFT, Rune Knight)

My favorite FFTA character is a similar class:

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Blue Mage for me as they're very versatile. Can dish out decent physical damage and also their array of magic is also diverse by having both offensive and defensive. Blue Mages have some of the best spells: Mighty Guard, White Wind, Degenerator, Bad Breath, Ray Bomb, Auto-Life.

Monk. Because you get to punch the living shit out of everything.

Runner Up would be Ninja because it's a fucking Ninja,

 

[TheChaos0]

Dragoon, dark knight or summoner.

 

[That1BlackGuy]

Blue Mage, a warrior mage that has the ability to absorb enemy traits and talents and use it against them.

 

[Ambience7817x]

Red mage and berserker. Red mage isn't that great in the FFs I've played so that's unfortunate, but berserker is usually pretty good because of the raw power

 

[Muskieratboi]

That reminds me, it's only 53 days until FF5 FJF 2016!

http://fourjobfiesta.com/

According to this, though, Berzerker is #1 Most Awesome Class Ever™.

 

[Neoxc]

Paladin because of Cecil for me. Dragoon is a close second though!

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I'm going to participate this time.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Paladin probably, lots of utility.

 

[redcrayon]

Dragoon, mainly because it looks cool. Also Kain (FFIV) and Freya (FFIX) help, as they show off the class well.

I went for dragoon in FF explorers too, that was fun.

 

[deadeye]

Black Mage

 

[King Al B]

I gotta give the Paladin some love. I have some very fond memories of Playing FFXI and maining Paladin. Also Cecil is one of my favorite main characters.

I had some much fun in FFXI timing abilities and magic. Keeping argo. Just standing up to massive monsters. I felt like a tank. (Pun intended)

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Dark Knight for sure. FFT Monk will always have a special place in my heart though.

 

[veloxStrix]

I always thought the Blue Mage was the coolest. Stealing your opponents attacks felt really sweet. It was usually pretty bad though. :c

 

[Silvawuff]

White Mage. Few other jobs can do their thing without it.

 

[Berordn]

Blue Mage forever. White Wind, Aqua Breath, Mighty Guard...

All top tier spells. All of them. Except maybe Goblin Punch...

 

[Nishastra]

Scholar. I like hitting things with books.

 

[Aters]

Onion Knight

 

[MegaSackman]

Black Mage Dragoon Warrior (Fran). Thanks FFXII

 

[Joei]

In single player games I love Thief, in FF11 I liked THF, but loved Samurai. Of all the jobs I leveled that was my favorite.

 

[Roxas]

Been a Dragoon since day 1 in FFXIV and will never change class.

Kain (4) ,Cid (7) and Freya (9) are three of my favourite characters in the entire series and are all absolute badass Dragoons

 

[Azuran]

I want to say Blue Mage but that job has only been good in Final Fantasy XI.

It was okay in VII, lol in VIII, Terrible character in IX, and lol in X.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

FFXI Beastmaster. Best ever

 

[djplaeskool]

Monk.
All day err'day.

My main in both XI and XIV.

 

[John Kowalski]

Red Mage's got the style and flair.

 

[Arkeband]

DRG in XIV, but I find the playstyle to be pretty poorly made (your damage revolves around a secondary mechanic where you have to keep up a 30 second buff, so you're eyeing a tiny icon on the screen that you're manually lowering and raising by 10-15 seconds at a time.)

Red Mage is a more iconic class and I envision myself changing to it in FFXIV's future if they figure out how to include it with their extremely rigid role system.

I tend to avoid WHM/BLM/WAR/PLD because they're so generic, it's like picking Human as your race choice.

 

[Azuran]

This thread is showing how Final Fantasy XI made every job so good. The majority of the best iterations come from that game.

 

[RMI]

in Final Fantasy Tactics I really like the Summoner and Calculator. Time Mages are also pretty awesome. Actually I just like the non-red/white/black magic classes.

 

[Khrysler Jerikho]

Monk. Because you get to SUPLEX the living shit out of everything.
