Sagittarius (zodiac)

Sagittarius, the Archer, is a sign of the Zodiac and a recurring symbol in the Final Fantasy series.

Final Fantasy IX
Sagittarius is one the Stellazio coins collected by Queen Stella. After Lindblum is ravaged by Atomos, the coin can be found in the city, to the left of the woman selling gyshal pickles.

Final Fantasy XII
The Esper Shemhazai, aligned with the element of Soul, embodies the sign of Sagittarius. In the International version, the Sagittarius emblem is fittingly represented by the Archer job.

Final Fantasy Tactics
Sagittarius is one of the twelve Zodiac Stones. High Confessor Marcel Funebris gives the stone to Meliadoul Tengille, daughter of Folmarv Tengille, in an attempt to curry favor for the Church of Glabados. Meliadoul initally heeds her father's orders, however, when she discovers that he is possessed by the Lucavi Hashmal, she alerts Ramza Beoulve, who is working against the Lucavis' mission. Meliadoul joins the party after the defeat of Zalera and brings the Sagittarius Stone along with her.

In addition, Sagittarius 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.

Sagittarius has optimal compatibility with Gemini, good compatibility with Aries and Leo, and bad compatibility with Pisces and Virgo.
