Fighter/Knight - Too expensive and equipment dependant
Thief/Ninja - Not worth being handicapped half the game for a subpar Red Mage later
Monk/Master - No customization at all, pretty boring
Black Mage/Wizard - Offensive Magic sucks and I hate status magic
White Mage/Wizard - Items will do most of their work anyway and I hate dealing with limited MP
Red Mage - Has all the strengths and weakness of the BM, WM, and Thief rolled into one
Thief to me is just not worth it. While I will agree that the Black Mage is utterly useless in the original NES version due to all the magic bugs and how unbalanced the Red Mage's magic set is, in any port/remake that fixes the bugs, the class is actually pretty good. Thief on the other hand is garbage in all the games and the only reason to bother is to get the Ninja class which I frankly didn't feel was so wonderful it deserved me playing with a handicap for a good third of the game.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog Where no one notices the contrast of white on white And in between the moon and you, the angels get a better view Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
