yea all the walkthroughs i read say how bad he is and i figured from the original FF1 that the theif would be the same and not all that strong

but i was curious and after the water crystal i used him because of all the armor and weapons i got for him and like he hits like 9-10 times at lvl 18 and he is doing between 400-600 damage and my knight has an IceBlade and the King one and he is only doing like 300 sumthing so the theif is a lot better than people give him credit for and not only that but he always gets away from a battle and he also saves u money on potions(stealing) and magic keys

has anyone else found him useful lol?
