Cancer (zodiac)

Cancer, the Crab, is a sign of the Zodiac and a recurring symbol in the Final Fantasy series.

Final Fantasy IX
Cancer is one the Stellazio coins collected by Queen Stella. It can be found in the abandoned market street of Burmecia, in a ruined cart to the left.

Final Fantasy XII
The Esper Zeromus, aligned with the element of Poison, embodies the sign of Cancer. In the International version, the Cancer emblem is represented by the Red Mage job.

Final Fantasy Tactics
Cancer is one of the twelve Zodiac Stones. Defeating Construct 7 nets the party the Cancer Stone, which can then be used by Beowulf Cadmus to restore his love Reis Duelar to her human form.

In addition, Cancer is also a zodiac sign used to determine damage compatibility between characters during battle. Units with good compatibility will do higher damage to each other, and the opposite is true for signs with bad compatibility. Signs with optimal compatibility do extreme damage to units of the opposite sex but meager damage to units of the same sex.

Cancer has optimal compatibility with Capricorn, good compatibility with Scorpio and Pisces, and bad compatibility with Libra and Aries.
