Mime (job)


 * For the Materia in Final Fantasy VII, see: Command Materia

The Mime (物真似士) is a recurring Job class from the Final Fantasy series.

Mimes rely on copying the abilities of other party members using their trademark Mimic ability. They have no innate abilities of their own and thus can be quite difficult to use. The Mime usually behaves eccentrically, and their clothing reflects this demeanor, yet they will likely be some of the strongest and powerful fighters around, refined, taught, and trained in nearly every discipline known to live up to mimicking their target and their every motion.

Final Fantasy V
The Mime is a secret Job in Final Fantasy V. In the Merged World, if the party ventures to the sunken Walse Tower, they can achieve the Water Crystal shard that was unachievable earlier on. The Job can use every previously learned innate ability except for equip abilities, and is otherwise used to mimic the last action of anyone in battle. It is also able to equip three abilities at once.

Final Fantasy VI
Gogo is a secret character based on the Mime Job from Final Fantasy V. Gogo can equip three of the abilities the other party members know, and can use the Mimic command to copy their last action.

Final Fantasy Tactics
The Mime has no innate abilities of its own, but it will immediately mimic the actions of any other player unit that moves before it.

Dissidia Final Fantasy
Bartz is based on the Mime class as seen in Final Fantasy V: he combines the attacks of his allies into new techniques, and in his EX Mode dons a red cape and has three gold stars over his head, the red cape approximating Bartz's costume while a Mime in Final Fantasy V, and the stars symbolizing mastery over a Job.

In the Duel Colosseum, when selected, the Mime Job card transforms into a random Job card upon entering the Job card selection area.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
The Mime job card reappears in the new Labyrinth mode, and again transforms into a random job card.

The Mime is also a job selected for a character in a party in Quick Battle or wireless matches, applying any job bonuses in effect for the opponent.

Final Fantasy Dimensions
An unorthodox variant of the Mime, the Memorist, is a Job available to the Warriors of Light in Final Fantasy Dimensions. Using its Memorandom ability, the Memorist can utilize a random selection of menu abilities learned through other Jobs, effectively mimicking their capabilities in combat. They can harness the power of memory fragments, which can boost their raw combat statistics. Argy, an advanced android built by the Avalonian Empire, serves as a guest Memorist character, and later bestows the Job to the Warriors of Light.
