Knight (Final Fantasy III)

The Knight is a job class in Final Fantasy III, both the NES original, and the Nintendo DS remake. It is gained from the Fire Crystal.

Appearance


In the NES original, the Knight looked like a Fighter, only with heavier armor and a helmet.

In the Nintendo DS version, the Knight looks very different, wearing silver armor and a big helmet. They also have a red cape.

NES version:

 * Special Ability - Cover

Selecting this command will cause the Knight to guard all allies in critical status. A useful command, ecspecially if your White Mages have taken a beating. Knights also have steady stat progression in every stat, making them a good job to level up in.

DS version

 * Special Ability - White Magic Levels 1

The Knight can now use basic White Magic, just like a Paladin. However, the Cover command has not been removed. Instead, it is now an automatic ability, that does not need to be selected to be used.

Equipment
The Knight can equip every sword in the game, bar the Masamune. This, combined with their ability to equip Heavy Armor, makes them a great choice for the front row.
