    Default Is it wrong that...

    I always made Shadow my Dragoon-type character. Always. I give him the dragon boots and dragon horn every time I play. I usually end up giving the better weapons to people like Edgar or...well, Edgar gets the really good ones and everyone else gets other stuff...my point is Shadow typically gets stuck with the Gradeus. Either way, it always made sense to me that a ninja would be able to jump really high and he'd probably use a knife. Only Cyan could use katanas, so what else would a ninja use? I mentioned this to a friend the other day, and he couldn't believe that I made Shadow into a dragoon. So, what do you think? Is it really that crazy?
    No.

    Mog and Edgar. That's because you can equip Spear to them. But I don't really like Dragoon, so I never use Dragon Boots and Dragon Horn.

    Well, I think spears double their damage with the Jump command, so using a Ninja isn't very practical; although he might still be really powerful.

    Interesting, gotta try it next time I play.

    I'd like to see a Black Wizard using the Kick command, though.

    I always give Mog or Edgar the Jump command

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    I don't give Jump to anyone, but if I did, it would be someone with a spear...

    Historically, katana were the weapon of the samurai and ninja used shorter, lesser-quality blades, so it makese sense that Shadow has no katana.

    Correct. However, ninja also used daggers and "makeshift weaponry" such as shears and kamas (Japanese sickles).

    Edgar and Mog were always dragoons because their default weapons were spears. I used Shadow as a ninja, he threw shurikens at the enemies.

    Here's the thing, though. I hate Mog, so I utterly refuse to do anything with him. There aren't that many spears in the game that are worth using, and Edgar always gets the Genji Glove/Offering/Atma Weapon/Illumina, so I can't use him. And the only unique thing that Shadow brings to the table is Throw, which I don't really like using. But I like the character, so I always want to use him. And how can I do that? I make him the dragoon. It works pretty well, even though it probably shouldn't.

    Note: I'm aware that samurais use katanas, but ninjas typically use shorter swords similar to katanas, so I figured you would all just get what I meant. But I guess not.

    You hate a moogle? Poor Mog......

    Why don't you train him? I found Mog better than Gau and Strago.

    Or how about giving Atma Weapon to another person?

    I don't use him because he's annoying. I like moogles, but I hate Mog. I never liked his dances and I think he's a lame character, so out of principle, I don't use him. And I like Gau/Strago/Relm even less, but I still don't like Mog.
