Gunner



The Gunner (銃使い Jyuutsukai lit. Gunman), also known as Fusilier, is a more recent job class in the Final Fantasy series. Gunners specialize in hitting opponents from afar, usually disabling them. Another popular Gunner ability is shooting magic out of their guns, causing elemental damage to far-off enemies. Also, Gunners have very high accuracy, rarely missing their targets. The downside is that Gunners don't deal as much damage as other jobs, since guns don't usually rely much on the Gunner's actual attack stats. Gunners are not seen before Final Fantasy VII.

Notable Gunners include Barret Wallace and Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy VII, Irvine Kinneas and Laguna Loire from Final Fantasy VIII. Although it's not officially stated, Balthier from Final Fantasy XII has a gun as his default weapon and Yuna starts out as a Gunner in Final Fantasy X-2. It is also possible that Sazh Katzroy from Final Fantasy XIII is a Gunner as well, although the game has not yet been released.

Final Fantasy X-2
The Gunner Dressphere is available from the beginning of the game, and is Yuna's default outfit. It uses various attacks that, while are not extremely powerful, are quick and wide-ranged.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
The Gunner class is exclusive to the Moogle race. It uses both elemental and status-inflicting attacks. What separates the Gunner from other far-range jobs is the fact that the Gunner's attack reach is twice as far as other classes.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
The Fusiler class is the renamed version of the Gunner. Other than the name, the class has the exact same role as in Tactics Advance.
