Recurring appearance

A warrior who dances across the battlefield, garbed in colorful raiments.

Dancer is a female-exclusive job inFinal Fantasy Tactics. It is unlocked by training a female unit in physical jobs. The Dancer inflicts several status changes on all enemies on the field by her dances. Dancers ideally have high Brave, because it directly affects the Dancer's abilities.

Dancers are useful when it comes to gathering JP, because once selected, the ability will repeat, earning the same amount of EXP and JP. For example, if the player has selected Mincing Minuet and the CT is 10 turns, 10 turns after the initial dance it will repeat, provided the player has not selected another ability to be performed. In the original version, it requires 3950 JP to master. In The War of the Lions, it requires 8000 JP.
