Parivir (Tactics A2)



Parivir is a job in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, available only to Humes. Parivirs wield katanas with which can inflict elemental damage and/or status effects. Their defenses leave much to be desired, but they are considered top-notch front-line fighters. Exploiting the right weakness (or using Geomancy), their elemental attacks can become devastatingly powerful.

Requirements

 * To Unlock: Complete "The Eastwatch"
 * To Use: Master 3 Fighter A-Abilities

Trivia

 * In Final Fantasy XII, the Seeq Aekom who works in Bhujerba's Lhusu Mines mentioned a guild of bodyguards called the Parivir. Several of them can be met around this city, and their job is to guard the miners at Lhusu from the monsters who also inhabit it.
 * The Flair command originally belonged to the powerful Llednar Twem in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but the moves were completely different. The same is true for Amarant Coral in Final Fantasy IX.

Etymology
Parivir is Sanskrit for Bodyguard, which closely resembles the original Japanese. The Japanese and Spanish name for this class is Yojimbo, which denotes a ronin or Samurai hired as a bodyguard.
