So the monk sucks.

I hate monks:mad:

Don't go to Southeast Asia anytime soon, then.

But weapons lower his attack, and are few and far between. I'll stay bare-fisted.

My Monk is good and all, but it seems that he's not as good as he was on NES.

I can't wait to play the game now! A good bard! I though Square would never be able to make anything get out of the spoony rut.

In FF1 I found the blackbelt to out damage the knight fairly quickly (Maybe earth dungeon) Haven't checked though as I haven't bother using them in the same team. So a double Monk + Redmage/support + Healer is not as good as Double Fighter with etc.
