Description

The Freelancer, also known as Bare in the Anthology release, and Normal in the RPGe SNES translation, is the default job from Final Fantasy V that has no defining characteristics. It is the default class the party starts with.

Profile

Appearance

The Freelancer job is the characters in their regular clothing. Bartz wears a blue tunic with white sleeves and leggings and a pair of boots. Lenna wears an orange dress. Faris wears a blue tunic with a green mantle. Galuf wears a long green coat and tan pants. Krile wears a blue dress.

Abilities

What makes the Freelancer class special is that it has nearly every innate ability from every job the character has mastered, as well as the stat bonuses, but not the penalties (such as the boosted Magic of a mage with none of the reduced Strength). So while it starts off weak, by endgame Freelancer becomes the strongest job.

When a character has mastered every job the three "mastered" stars appear above the Freelancer on the Job Selection screen. The Freelancer can equip everything without needing the "Equip X" abilities. Finally, the Freelancer class has two ability slots instead of one.

Stats

The base stats are:

Name           Strength    Agility     Vitality     Magic
--------------------------------------------------------
 Bartz          28(+4)      25(+1)      27(+3)      25(+1)
 Lenna          25(+1)      26(+2)      25(+1)      28(+4)
 Galuf/Krile  27(+2)/25(+1) 24/28(+4)  28(+4)/24   24/27(+3)
 Faris          27(+3)       27(+3)     26(+2)       26(+2)

Bartz's stats synergize well with Jobs with high Strength and Vitality, which
includes Heavy Armor Jobs. Lenna has the highest innate Magic Power of the five
characters you get to control. Galuf has the highest Vitality of the five and a
bit of Strength, so he leans towards Front Row physical positions as well.
Faris has the highest all-round stats with a peak in Agility, so she is kind of your
Joker. She is best with weapons that factor both strength and agility such as Knives, Bows and Whips though, as well as the !Throw
command. Krile has both the highest Agility and additional Magic Power, so she
maximizes damage output from spellcasters.

With the average stat being 24 with mastered classes of the highest stats of each stat it end up:

• Strength: 24 (maximum 50, Monk / Gladiator) or alternative (45, Berserker)
• Agility: 24 (maximum 40, Thief)
• Stamina: 24 (maximum 50, Monk) or alternative (49, Berserker)
• Magic: 24 (maximum 57, Summoner / 60, Oracle)

Support abilities

Freelancer learns every innate ability from every job the character has mastered, except the Berserker's Berserk, the Gladiator's Lure and the Necromancer's Undead. This does not include HP +, MP +, Two-Handed, ABP Up, EXP Up, Read Ahead, or Long Reach.
