Ranger



The Ranger (狩人 Kariudo lit. Hunter), also known as Hunter, is a job that appears in various games in the series. Rangers are mostly known for their ability to equip various ranged weapons to attack. Their most consistent special ability is called X-Fight, Rapid Fire, or Barrage. With this ability, the Ranger can attack multiple times (generally, but not always 4 times) with each hit doing less damage than the last.

The only notable Rangers to appear in the Final Fantasy series are Wakka, who throws a ball at his enemies and whose Attack Reels Overdrive can unleash several attacks at once, Fran from Final Fantasy XII, who has similar status-inducing abilities, Filo from Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings is classed as an Aviator but who has similar abilities to a Ranger, and Gnash from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates, who normal attack fires from very long ranges and Tribe abilities allow him to fire arrows rapidly.
