All of this is pretty on point in terms of ranking, but one thing I want to note is the job level of the thief job determines what you steal and I think it also determines its success rate.

Exactly and since the LAST boss practically USES Particle beam EVERY TURN UNTIL it dies my Lv 80+ job lv 4x 99 Dragoons equipped 2 of those IN the FRONT row using jump for all the final dungeon bosses of the game. As much as I love Ninja 4x of them is just TOO costly in fact I could NOT buy the FULL 99 Suriken's to throw for 4x 9999 per turn and if you can't afford even 50 of them then Ninja isn't really worth using and Attack magic + 2x Curaja (Cure 4 users) ie 4x Sages isn't really worth it either.

I always thought the Thief was really underappreciated in this game! Also, it does seem like they made the Viking the ultimate tank and made him actually useful in this version.

I just started a low level playthrough, so I’ll need a tank. Based on this video I think I’m tracking toward Viking, Ninja, Sage , Devout

Just got back into final fantasy for the first time in about 10 years, your videos have been both great in entertainment and knowledge

A little gimmick I love using with sage is summoning Odin. The white magic effect of the summon puts reflect on all 4 party members. As long as the enemies don't cast any other spell on them. You can be the one casting it on the entire party, therefore reflecting it 4 times to the enemies.

critical thing to remember about Dragoons: you are mostly invincible during jump.

Why am i not surprised that Ninja and Sage jobs are at the top of the list. Jobs like Scholar, Dark Knight and Dragoon would be more useful if they weren't situational. Also the fact that the Evoker is a glorified dice roll is just a shitty way to introduce summon magic.

I do have a real love for the DS game since I love the opening cutscene and art style BUT…locking content behind an online system was dumb to a huge degree. And the final bosses is SUCH A PAIN. Seriously, one save point before or in the world of darkness would make the last bit a lot more fun. I did beat it…and mostly abused the black belt class (since while the damage will show 9999 you can actually do more than that to the point one black belt can one shot the first of the last bosses and a team can rip through everyone…but it requires a lot of grinding). If you really want to go back to it I would reccomend the Steam or mobile release of it.

It's also a broken mess, let alone people high level monk levels scale to get cheaper brawler with ninja to attack twice with speed and insta kill. It's only a hard game if you don't know the tricks of the trade, and embarrassing when you do. Remake even has balthier who's a thief that can steal (except Elmdor, dammit) accurately, with ninja speed and a gun, who phases out Mustadio easily. Monk early game is only good for recovering mages with Chakra (too slow/weak at a low level for physical attacks).

Love Dimensions but I haven’t played it in a few years now, since I’ve really soured on phone/tablet gaming. It’ll never happen but I would love a pixel remaster of Dimensions.

I may be talking nonsense, but I think the Scholar deserves a higher ranking, simply because Alchemy is a little bit stronger than we all thought. You can heal up to max HP with Lilith's Kiss (around 2000), and deal massive damage with Chocobo Wrath. You probably won't get a lot of them without a large amount of grinding, but it's 100% possible to beat the final boss with an entire party of Scholars spamming those very same items.

I'd put the red mage a bit higher for one reason: elemental weapons. They can use both the swords and staves that cast fire, blizzard and thunder straight from your inventory and boost some decent attack power.

@Katie-hb8iq

2 жыл бұрын

The problem with the red mage is that it's weapons top out at the same ones the White mage can use, but it doesn't get high damage black spells and few mp of curaga, making him pretty medicore. Elemental staves are also not as good as people think - there are not that many instances where enemies are weak to elemental magic, and wind is probably the most common weakness throughout the game and there's no staff for that. At the half-way point, there's only like 2 bosses with any kind of weakness at all - bahamut and Amon, and the red mage helps against neither. Even early in the game, bosses are weak to ice magic, and you'll want that black mage to ensure you can cast blizzaga - the one 3rd tier spell you have access to by the time you fight him and you'll want the maximum amount of mp. Against the water crystal jobs, you'll want a black mage to cast thundara as many times as possible as well. You should use a red mage in the beginning because of the Wightslayer, and drop it once you get to Canaan and drop Cid off. There isn't much point to using one after that. I'd actually rank it near the bottom, much lower than david ranked them.

@Gibby34340

But it's a prime example of "jack of all trades, master of none". Their stats are meh at best, while having half the magic casts of an equivalent black or white mage. It's only good in the beginning when you get that early OP red mage-only sword, Wightslayer iirc. Once that's obsolete, just dump the red mage, go with a second black mage, and split the elemental types across them for type coverage.

I think you need to give Scholar another shot. They are very, very good midgame. I recently played through and kept a scholar right up to the Earth Crystal, and at good job levels, that Alchemy multiplier increases. A bomb arm was doing 4-5k+ damage, which is ridiculous for pre-Eureka, pre-Magus characters. You can steal the items you need if you have a thief with a job level in the 30's, which is also really really good midgame. They also do decent damage with books, but they need the front row, and they also take lots of damage because they have no defense. So that's kind of a trade-off. :) They of course get obsoleted by late game jobs, but so do most jobs. :) Throughout most of the game, scholar was my boss-deleter. Even regular bomb fragments/antarctic winds do amazing damage. -- Also, you can solo any boss with a Dragoon with Blood Lance. Including the Cloud of Darkness, that's the speedrun strat :D

We need more media on this game- I love this content

So what I'm hearing is that Ninja, Sage, and Devout are basically required for endgame. And what ever else is filler.

I've only played the DS version and not the pixel remaster, but I'm surprised Summoner wasn't higher. Yeah, you get them later (didn't stop Sage, Devout, or Magus placements, so not a good argument). I found them to be a really good damage dealer, and great for random encounters, especially since you'll get a lot of charges for the low level summons.

Thansk for this ... I played the 3d version and it felt weird so now imma go back and get this

I love using a party of four monks followed by four black belts. Ultra powerful even if I only have items to heal. The idea is to win before my HP runs out lol.

I love that you know your games and i love that you have your channle thank you

What I'm doing is: every time I get a new crystal, I switch everyone to jobs of that crystal only. What would be the best combination of just water crystal jobs? I figured Bard and Black Belt for healing and heavy damage, but the other 2 are hard to choose.

The Ninja and Sage sorta break the game LOL no sense in training any other jobs since your end game party will ALWAYS just be ninjas and sages

Great video but what about the onion knight were would it be on the ranking?

3DS/PSP version of Red Mages might able to stick around till the end since they can uses more variety of weapons than the NES/Pixel Remaster one honestly. Aside from still limited to Lv.5 Magics, Slap it with Ultima Weapon from legendary smith sidequest, you got one strong Red Mage there. although, wishing they carrying that ability on the Pixel Remaster, but nope, the only strongest weapon they can wield's Rune Staff.

Looking forward to getting ahold of the Pixel Remaster... and inevitably doing some absolutely boneheaded challenge runs with the worst jobs on this list xD Maybe we could see FFIII Four-job Fiesta in the future?

More or less what I would rank them, though for the DS version, some of the jobs would be lower on the list, namely the Viking would be at the bottom, the Sage would be 1 or so ranks lower, and the Black Belt would be at least one rank higher. I found the last boss to be a cakewalk with a Ninja, Magus, Devout and Black Belt in the version I mentioned. Just get the Black Belt job high enough (which means significant grinding) so that fighting unarmed trumps damage with claws equipped, and you're golden.

Do you have a Top 10 Turn Based? I tried searching but couldn't find the list but recall you mentioning it in a video

Bard is really good in an under leveled play through because elegy stacks with protect and minuet stacks with haste. Peon also takes a lot of pressure off your healer. My final party was knight, ninja, devout, bard. But I see the argument for a second ninja instead of the knight

You really don't need a Ninja or Sage, the final area and boss of the Pixel Remaster isn't as bad as it used to be. The final boss has really bad AI and as long as you can heal (magic or items) you can play around it with any job combination. Ninja is worth the time to get and is a cool job, but the Final Area and Final Boss is a lot more player friendly in the PR than it was in other versions. You used to not be able to save or heal up for free, this change in the PR is just so dang nice.

Great video, I don't know much about FF3. How do the jobs work? do you get to carry over abilities from one class to another? or after you "master" them? Or are you just that class with all its abilities from the get go

@Miriam_J_

Жыл бұрын

This is a year late, but in case anyone in the future has this question I will still answer it. FF3 jobs are selected from the "Jobs" section in the menu. From here, you can freely switch to whichever jobs are available to you. Each job has an independent level that's separated from your character level. Raising job levels are how you get stat increases. Health is the only stat (iirc) that raises based on your character level, the rest will be up to which job(s) you assign your character. You don't get to carry over combat abilities like "Jump" or "Retaliate" but each character has their own spell list. They will keep the spells you teach them (spells are single use items, you can purchase/find multiple of each) regardless of what job they are. However, if you have cure and thunder in your spell list as a white mage, you won't be able to use thunder, just cure. If you are a non spell casting job, you won't be able to cast any of the spells in your characters spell list. You can swap party members spell lists, which can be useful if you decide to swap a caster and a physical fighter. There is no "master" system, you just get the job to level 99. Job abilities in FF3 tend to be a menu command or a passive. For example, you will have "Steal" the second you switch to Thief, but "Steal" will become more effective the higher your job level is. You do not get to keep "Steal" when swapping to any other job.

will you do a similar ranking for the Remasters of 1 and 5? I played the original NES ones and thinking of trying a remake, either the PSP or PR version. it seems the jobs function differently in these remakes. would love to learn which are good and bad now

This was the first final fantasy game I ever played… on DS (3DS software) of all things! I started in the beginning of 2020 and put 50 hours in and gave up at the final dungeon. Too much grinding! I have the remake on steam and I’ll play it soon… I just wish it was on PS4 so I could remote play to my Vita!

Sage and ninja are overpowered but I wanted to try a run without them. So I made a party with black belt and viking (best buddies, one melts enemies, the other keeps the party safe) then a summoner (ik magus is better but summoner is still viable) and devout. Worked pretty well. Also Bard instead of summoner works well, especially before evolving white mage to devout.

I was just about to go to sleep when u popped up in my box sweet dreams davidvinc I know ill be having some now

My final party was a Knight, Ninja, Devout, and Sage. The Knight is still really good since you get all those powerful swords in Eureka. I also found the Ranger to be really useful in this game too, Barrage was doing so much damage after some Job Levels that it was clearing out the random encounters really fast. I also like that the Dark Knight is pretty useful until you get the weapons in Eureka and the Ninja or a Knight is better for damage dealing and can equip better armors. I didn't really use the Black Belt but I think on my next playthrough I might give it a go, maybe change up my classes a bit more. I might stick to this party for the final dungeons just because I breezed through them pretty easily.

WITHOUT the equipment from the dragon enemies RARE battles on floors 5 to 7 of the Crystal Tower (2nd to last DUNGEON) of the game and they ALMOST never drop them then even at job class 99 + party member lv 99 their pure CRAP.

Im surprised to see scholar and dragoon so low , they were my favorite jobs in my recent playthrough of the 3D version. He definitely outdamages the black mage and can be a second healer in a pinch, but does rely on grinding items with a theif unfortunately. Dragoon is definitely outclassef by knight and viking since he cant tank( actually exposes your allues while hes jumping) but uts so fun having gungir + blood lance early and then getting holy lance or magic lance and consistently hitting for 9999+

I think Dragoons are way too high up on this list. Jump one shots many random encounters and although the Dragoon is selfish he basically gives solid damage while being invincible for half the battle.

I really need to get these Pixel Remasters, I have already played 1 - 10 and own everything from 3 - 15 on Steam but they look so good and I think I prefer the 2D over 3D for 3 and 4.

So would all you’ve said in the video also be accurate for the ds remake?

I played the original JP version on emulator back in the late 90's, and since I didn't understand the dialogue, most of my memories are of the battle system. I remember most jobs being really bad, or atleast I didn't know how to use them well. But one time I ran out of resources/spells on the way back from a dungeon and I was able to survive by converting my mages to black belts. But I think I mainly used the knight classes and the common mages. Lategame it was just a question of what Ninja vs Sage distribution you'd have. I remember disliking how OP they were.

The Ranger was OP for me with the barrage ability doing far more damage than it should with the rather weak bows i had equipped.

I'm playing the 3d remake on steam and i wanna say you don't need the sage and ninja but if you wanna have a easier time in the crystal tower then yes. my main party comp right now is dark knight , knight yes ,devout and sage if your wandering the sage can cast both black and white magic and i had a red mage in the group before hand and red mage can only cast up to level 5 magic but il'l say this just use what is most fun for you tbh this is one the best final fantasy games for replay and testing out the jobs but the sad thing is that if the onion knight is max out and the best gear the others jobs may as well say good bye .

I hate how they butchered the Scholar so hard in both the DS and PR versions of the game. It used to be a stronger monk, who used elemental weapons, with study and libra abilities. Now it’s absolute trash who is only useful for the Hein battle.

Dude. . . I got 4 onion knights with dual onion swords. . . They are blood thirsty butterballs that deal straight 9s across the damage board and will absolutely shred your ninja/sage party. . . Plus you get elixirs collecting the onion gear and have zero need for a healer because by the time u 99 ur knights they are so incredibly powerful nothing can kill them and you're dealing 40 grand damage per round. . . Cloud of darkness lasted about 30 seconds

Clicked so fast! Let's gooooo algorithm

I like using Scholar because it's funny watching a character smash a monster over the head with a set of books 32 times.

I cheesed the whole game with 3 dragoons and a bard. Just set jump for your 3 dragoons and set the healing song on the bard. Almost invisible.

Bard is by far the best class in the game. Having 2 bards healing the party and two physical attackers attacking every round and you can just auto-battle. Two bards can negate all damage as soon as it's dealt. No tanks are needed. It doesn't even matter what offensive class you use. You won't run out of healing spells, so you can keep the battle going, even if the class you are using is only dealing weak physical damage.

In all my playthrough which is about 3 times in the famicom version , the first time 20 years ago and the last one this year , once in the PSP 10 years ago and the Pixel Remaster recently , i play with a Magic heavy tactics. the main drawback of changing jobs is the lose of all the spell charges, so basically i have 1 fighter class and 3 mage classed while i usually conservative with the White mage and Black mage for the bosses , the evoker i use in during the regular battles since i can replace it to a fighting job near the boss. BTW, the thief job is actually fairly decent in the original famicom version , it is just that the steal is mostly useless. --- it is very easy to grind in the pixel remake , just too bad there is nothing too, The Sage job had been nerfed to the point i didn't bother using it. especially with the major boost the the curative spells got when healing all characters. originally you need to Sages casting Cureaja every round just to have a chance to survive the last battle, now one is enough.

I only played the remastered version of it, but for me Geomancer is the best job untill we unlock the last cristal with the last most powerful jobs, He can spam terrain that deal an insane amount of damage to single or multiple enemies all the time without having to consume any mana point. The only drawback is when in water area there is a chance he does the whirlpool spell that have a chance of OHKO all enemies wich often misses.

I will stick to my guns when it comes to the Geomancer job. Most people hate it but it nuked several bosses in one shot for me while playing the DS remake. That alone is worth it for me to have at least one of them.

This game has a lot of potential for challenges and the like, but unlike the NES version you can't glitch in later jobs and there are some pieces of gear missing from NES or gear that you suddenly can't equip that you should be able to. If you don't mind Pixel graphics, play the original IMO. Though this version does have a few benefits.

I hated the job system of FF3 because I played FF5 where your Freelancer was a god in the end. Still this was a good story and gave us the Moogles.

I found a translated version of the original Fanicom version on a Powkiddy. It was absolutely fire

3:05 no, I broke the game with the bard. Bardsong always goes first, and you can easily buff defense when you need to heal in conjunction with the sage, and your party gets buffed before attacking, so you can sometimes waste a turn with haste if the ninja goes first. Paeon skyrockets at high job levels as well. Thief tidbit was interesting, but I'd hate to have to rely on situational equipment knowhow (speaking of which bard can confuse with lamia or sleep with dream harp if you don't feel like spamming song, and using golem staffs/omnirod to 3 shot petrify anyone with 2 people if at least 1 person is dualwielding, which I feel makes devout better than a magus/sage as you won't burn out in regular battle), though scram is better in the final dungeon where you need to run to the next healing crystal (and not waste those important shurikens that you can't go back to Eureka to restock).

Honestly i don't feel that you need to upgrade the Monk to the Black Belt. By the time that you get the Black Belt you COULD have a Level 99 Monk before the black belt is unlocked.

I'm annoyed that each character doesn't have their own costume version of the class like FFV.

I haven't tried the pixel remaster version of 3 yet, but in the PSP version the Geomancer got me out of some difficult situations with bosses and tougher random battles using terrain.

I don't think FF3 released on PSP though?

@@krimsonkatt I assure you it did. I'm playing it on PPSSPP. Not sure if an English version was officially released here in the U.S. but the version I'm replaying is in English.

@@markkatain7891 I looked it up. Apparently the 3D/DS version did get ported to PSP. Interesting. I never knew that.

You should rank the jobs in FFTA2. If you’ve played that game, that is.

How would this list compare to the DS version

So did this pixel remastered version of Final Fantasy 3 get rid of the Onion Knight?

Nop. Onion knight remains by far the most op job in this version if you get lv99 and the onion set.

Warrior is so good, I was doing 9999 damage every attack, the others barely arrived to 7000 with their best spells.

Woohoo after a 22 year since I last played it I got age of empires 2 on xbox one I'm so excited so I'll be busy doing that for a while when I cum back I'll b sure to comment on ever video 😉

PR is best version of ff3 I've played. Still says proto ff5 in the long run. But ff1 is proto ff3 imo

Hey just gonna say i maxed out a geomancer and you get black hole pretty often throughout the game.

Square Enix should have given the underpowered FF3 jobs more equipment to complete their niche. On a completely unrelated note, I'm glad that Ragnarok Online got the hypernovice class. The novice class has been underpowered or been highly susceptible to powercreep for too long. Same with the knight, rogue (similar niche to this game's red mages) and taekwon classes.

I was able to beat a different boss because my dragoon with really low hp didn't stop jumping

i dont understand, what does a warrior do? like its supposed to be tanky but my monk health is more than my warrior, and the same like my white mage... like what?

How does every job in the Pixel Remaster version compare to the 3DS version that has secret dungeon with Iron Giant ?

3ds version is the best version, so idk how you would plan to dethrone that, as it is an amazing version from start to finish.

Alchemy also doubles potency of healing items, that's not something you can do on a black mage. What's more if you have a thief you can keep stealing those battle items and save them for bosses and just unload on their weakness. Actually, the only reason why I do not use scholar is because of the terrible vitality growth.

You are wrong about the geomancer. It is one of the best jobs in this game.

Does pixel remaster not have onion knight?

CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE NINJAS 🎊🎉🎈

I thought the ultimate job in 3 was the Suppin / Onion Knight after you mastered all the other jobs? 😁

It is if your level 99 but it takes forever to get there and you need onion weapons so your gonna grind till you get a full set for all characters but you should be level99 or close to it when you get all of them. Also being level 99 gives you a 99% magic evasion so its stupid op

Literally my favorite FF game
