A hume Fighter from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
The Fighter (闘士, Tōshi?), also known as the Warrior and abbreviated as FGT, is a recurring job in the Final Fantasy series, often appearing in the Ivalice subseries entries as a job for the hume race. Fighters wield light one-handed swords known as Blades, but lack the ability to equip light armor. Its fighting style involves the user utilizing their aggression to perform strong physical attacks, but at the expense of a specific stat of the user.
Despite sharing the name of the previous localized name of the recurring Warrior job, the Fighter of the Ivalice titles is not the same job.
