Bushi



Mononofu is a License Board in Final Fantasy XII International, represented by the Zodiac sign of Aquarius. They are primarily light physical attackers, using Katana as their main weapon.

Despite not having any Magical ability, they use mainly Mystic Armor in order to enhance their katana attacks. Mononofu are better suited for quick attacking than being the party's tank. They have access to many augments for raising HP, attack, and magical power.

However, Mononofu cannot learn any spells, and have a limited number of augments for improving basic attacks and consumables.

The Mononofu has access to 133 licenses, which require 8,256 LP to unlock, as well as up to 13 additional licenses through summon licenses costing 1,005 LP, and 5 additional licenses costing 445 LP through quickening licenses.

Etymology
Mononofu is an ancient term related to the samurai, meaning bushi, a warrior. Samurai is a recurring job in the Final Fantasy series, but Hiroyuki Itō, the director of Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System, decided on mononofu to give players something to "discover" if they were to look the word up in a dictionary.
