Final Fantasy Tactics Character/Class Ranking

This one is way too long, with way too much detail, so I'm not going to explain everything in super high detail, since now I'm getting tired, and quite lazy. However, I'll just do a small explanation on a few things, not everything though.

Remember again, this is playing at lvl 99 for each character+ the best equips possible, so remember this while taking my Tier Listing into consideration.

Final Fantasy Tactics Job Tier List

Note: I'm only going to explain Math Skill, since explaining the rest will take 10,000 yrs.

God Tier
Math Skill

Top Tier
Martial Arts, Draw Out

Mid Tier
Throw, Geomancy, Battle Skill, Item, Steal, Jump

Low Tier
Black Magic, Summon, White Magic

Really Low Tier
Time Magic, Yin Yang Magic, Talk Skill, Dance, Basic Skill, Sing

Worthless Tier
Charge

Math Skill - This is the absolute best skill in the game, because it is instant, Full Screen, No MP Spells and has 90% of all skills in the game.

Martial Arts and Draw Out - Great because they have versatility, because they can Heal, Support or Attack, easy no brainer here.

BattleSkill/Item/Steal/Jump
- Battle skill is great with T-H Swords to lower stats, thus crippling opponents. Item is a no brainer as well since it's instant healing/reviving/cure status etc. Steal is essential because you will need it to get good items. Jump does seem to take long at first but with High Speed, it's quite effective.

Throw and Geomancy are quite good, however really nothing totally special. Throwing is great with super powerful weapons (if you dupe enough that is, lol).

Black Magic/Summon/White Magic - Magic skills are almost worthless in this game because they take way too long to cast, the only decent magic are for BM is Flare and WM is Holy and area affect curses. Summons are incredible to watch but take ridiculous amounts of time and are not worth damage for the time they take to do, surprisingly Golem is pretty solid.

Time/Yin Yang/Talk - These are all quite worthless, Time has some decent skills but nothing great, and YY and Talk bring nothing over the top to the table to be extremely effective during battle.

Charge - This is the absolute worst thing in the game, this alone makes Archers arguably the worst class in the game, because anything over Charge 4 takes way too long, most likely you won't hit anymore as well, and it doesn't do alot of damage for the time it consumes to take into effect...horrible skill.


Final Fantasy Tactics Special Character Tier List

Elite Tier
Orlandu/Reis

Top Tier
Beowulf/Ramza

Middle Tier
Agrias
Mustadio

Low Tier
Meliadoul
Worker 8
Cloud

Bottom Tier
Rafa
Malak

Orlandu - If anyone argues his placement, I will have to slap you, because Orlandu is a monster in this game. Exaclibur+HolySwordsman Skills ='s I am your Emperor and you are my slave.

Reis - She is up here simply because she has Two Swords and Train built in, she gets excellent stat bonuses + she can use Ribbon/Chantage to make her nearly unstoppable. You can also add Martial Arts as her secondary and watch her beast.

Beowulf - Shock, Chicken, and Break are phenomenal and most importantly, they are instant, enough said.

Ramza - Scream, and Yell is super good, and Ultima is pretty solid, but what really sets him up here is his equipment for versatility. He is the only character who can equip Knight+Stat boosting robes/clothes which completely pushes him to this spot. Not to mention he has great magic stat within his class, so putting math skills on him is a no brainer.

Agrias - She is a powerhouse in the earlier chapters but in the end falls slightly short, due to her slow speed which can be compensated with a haste equipment or cast, however she is nowhere near Orlandu's potential, however don't let this placement fool you, she's still very good, just not as good as the Big 4 above her.

Mustadio - Again, surprisingly don't be too fooled by him as well, although he's placed here, he's still very effective, because Snipe lands a heck of alot even from 8-spaces away.

Meliadoul - Some may "argue" her spot, but honestly, her skills only work on Humans, outside of that, what does she have? That's the reason why I placed her lower than Agrias because she can at least deal heavy damage to anything regardless. However on just human enemies alone, she can potentially be placed at Top Tier (Only Humans Though!).

Worker 8 - Worker 8 is immune to magic, but hurts himself when attacking+he's so slow, however he still packs alot of power and decent range.

Cloud - Almost all of his Limit Breaks are garbage except for Finishing Touch, which is an auto-kill on enemies, not to mention the only way he can utilize his skill is by using the very weak weapon Materia Blade.

Rafa/Malak - Honestly, this must've been a joke idea, who's idea was it to give these characters low damage area affecting skills? That's pretty outrageous.


Overall, the Tier listing for the special characters, it isn't too bad, although Orlandu and Reis does stand much higher then the rest, Top to Middle Tier isn't overall that bad though. Anyways, hope you enjoy, any thoughts, comments, questions, leave it here, I'll reply later. No more Character Rankings for me today, my fingers are burnt and tired.

Agree with character rankings, could argue a couple of your skill rankings but it would only be by one tier so pointless.
