Archers overlap slightly with [[Ranger]]s, as both specialize in bow weapons and share two trademark abilities, [[Barrage]] and [[Aim (command)|Aim]]. The main difference is that Archers are exclusive to [[Ivalice]], with the exception of ''[[Final Fantasy XIV]]'', and specialize in status and elemental attacks while Rangers focus on being strong ranged physical attackers. |

Minna to BIOHAZARD Clan Master
As a crossover collaboration with Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade, the Resident Evil smartphone card battle RPG Minna to BIOHAZARD Clan Master boasts character Piers Nivans as an Archer. This is likely in correlation with how Piers was a skilled sniper, and in consideration of Resident Evil's European mysticism and heritage setting themes, evokes an old English saying regarding training archers: "If you want to train a longbowman, start with his grandfather"; as Pier's family heritage has a continued military tradition started from his great grandfather.
