The "correct" jobs for all main characters presented!

I found this site a few minutes ago, and I´ve drawn conclusions from the artwork which jobs the characters are technically intended to have.
I actually think the following party is the correct one:

Frioniel: Paladin
Maria: Black Wizard
Guy: Fighter/Monk
Lionheart: Knight/Swordsman

The reasons?
Frioniel, I think, looks Paladin-ish somehow; he reminds me of Cecil from FF4, with that outfit and stuff.
Also, in the game, it just feels like he´s intended to have skills from both the fighting and healing department;
I dunno why, I got that impression.
Maria has got this darker, "curvy" Black Wizard kind of look, and actually, she starts out with the highest Intelligence. Guy is obviously a Monk or something similar, that´s really, really obvious; I mean - a GIANT with super muscles!
Lionheart looks like this typhical soldier, and he always carries those swords around.
So he´s most likely a pure Knight, no healing abilities but far superior to Frioniel in physical strength.

I like to think of them this way.
It makes sense.

Congratulations, you've given them jobs that everyone else who's ever played has.

Since when have Black Mages been characterized by being curvy? If anything, Maria should be a Hunter or an Archer, considering the huge bow on her back.

You have a point I relized about 2 day's ago. Frionel is much like Cecil. Why?? Look at the similarities..




The way they hold their weaponary. Their hair. They just have some more similarities to discover..

Yes that's their origin's name. But what was the point of that post??

It´s impossible for me to explain, I just associate curviness and certain kinds of looks with black magic.
Maria somehow looks like a Black Wizard, I get that impression.
There is no real reason for this, just like there is none to my impression of Frioniel being a Fighter *and* a decent White Wizard.
I just feel they are destined for these jobs.

Also, concerning the Hunter thing; don´t care about that!
If she were a hunter, then where´s the Black Wizard?

But all right, like this then:
Maria: Hunter/Black Wizard

Refresh my memory. Did Maria ever say in the game that she wanted to be a Black Mage? I could've sworn she did, but then again I could be wrong

[boys from the dwarf]

i see your logic. firion is a true good guy but a fighter so uses weapons and white magic. marias colours look like black mages (purple and black.) so it makes sense to teach her black magic. guy is a proper tough guy so make him pummel the enimies and leon i dont quite understand. hes a strong fighter but i think you should make him a dark knight(weapons and BM.)but making him a bit of everything isnt a bad idea(swords WM and BM.).

[Nick Schovitz]

Yeah but what are the jobs for people like on FFVIII and X? I have no clue.

The only problem with making them specialize in everything is that it doesn't work in this game.

Maria: Hunter/Black Wizard

That's a terrible idea. Bows cripple intelligence like nobody's business.

She has about 5 lines in the game, which, paraphrased, amount to:

"Lionheart is still missing, what if he's..."
"Josef! No!"
"That black knight seems familiar, could he be..."
"I'm afraid Richard is..."

and my all time favorite:

"..."

Yeah but what are the jobs for people like on FFVIII and X? I have no clue.

I always thought X was pretty obvious...

Tidus: Fighter
Yuna: White Mage/Summoner
Lulu: Black Mage
Wakka: Well, I guess you could kind of consider him a Ranger. Just a different kind of Ranger who uses Blitzballs instead of arrows.
Kimahri: Dragoon/Blue Mage
Rikku: Thief/Chemist
Auron: Samurai

Of course, they can evolve beyond those jobs but that's what they start as initially.

As for VIII, well that's a whee bit tougher in my opinion since they all have easy access to all types of spells and summons, so here's what I've gathered from their behaviour/weapons:

Squall: Fighter
Zell: Monk
Irvine: Ranger
Quistis: Blue Mage
Selphie: Thief

Rinoa is the only one that doesn't stand out as being really obvious to me. I guess going with the Final Fantasy sterotypes though she'd be a White Mage.

...

Sorry for going so off topic.

Tidus - Warrior
Auron - Samurai
Lulu - Black Mage
Yuna - Summoner/White Mage
