Ninja (job)

Ninja (忍者 Ninja) is a job class from various games in the series. Ninjas are characterized by wearing bandanas which cover their mouths, as well as clothing that nearly shrouds them completely. Their weapons include special daggers and boomerangs. Their armor selection is very limited, as they can only equip lightweight armor. They are strong physically, but they also have high speed. However, their HP and defense tends to be lower than other physical jobs. Their special ability is called Throw, and they can use it to throw weapons, Shuriken, and magical Skeans that are usually very powerful. They usually also have methods of nullifying physical attacks, and a way to quickly escape from battle. They are also very useful in being able to equip two weapons at once. From Final Fantasy IV and up you will rely on the Ninja job to learn the doublesword skill.

Notable Ninjas include Edge of Final Fantasy IV, Shadow of Final Fantasy VI, Yuffie Kisaragi of Final Fantasy VII and Ewen and Maquis of Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. The town of Wutai from Final Fantasy VII is a clan of Ninjas.
