Least Favourite Job

We did the favourites earlier. These are the jobs where you don't get paid cashmoney and you don't enjoy it and you just want to cry everyday and go home and hide under the blankets and then you wake up and it's a new day and you still have to go to work and oh god the humanity.

One Pointers

  • Beastmaster/Tamer
  • Geomancer
  • Black Mage
  • Freelancer/Bare (FFV)
  • Thamaturuge
  • Archer
  • Knight
  • Alchemist


Lot of jobs there. Guess the workforce ain't exactly happy with their options.

All these comments on the one pointers makes me worry about the winners...

Blowing stuff up has its uses, my dear boy.

Yes but to get to that point takes a lot of effort. You're a strange breed, Mister Wolf Kanno.

First Place (2)
Seeing as there is like a one hundred way tie for first place, I'm just going to do another list.

  • Bard
  • Blue Mage
  • Scholar
  • White Mage
  • Dragoon
  • Thief

What battle was that? I think scholars being in battle probably means you're doing it wrong anyway, unless he's Indiana Jones.

Bards do cop a lot of hate and/or abuse. Maybe if they weren't such pushovers...

Astute observations here.

But thieves that can steal are the best!

My point exactly. Not really a good joke, but oh well.

Let me remind you that the Blue Mage was first in the Favourite Job category while the Dragoon was second. Um. You guys. What the smurf? I'm going to kick you in the nose until you're sniffing your own brains.
