==Allusions to the job in the series==
===''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''===
The Mystic Knight is strongly alluded to in [[Final Fantasy IX]]. Provided [[Vivi Ornitier|Vivi]] is in the party and not incapacitated, [[Adelbert Steiner|Steiner]] can use [[Swd Mag (Final Fantasy IX)|Sword Magic]] with Vivi's aid. Only the damaging Black Magic spells (e.g. [[Fire (ability)|Fire]]) can be used as Sword Magic, not [[status effect]]-inducing spells (e.g. [[Slow (status)|Slow]]), and Vivi must know the spell in question. The attack uses Steiner's turn and [[MP (stat)|MP]], and does not affect Vivi's MP or ATB gauge.

===''[[Final Fantasy Type-0]]''===
[[Kurasame Susaya]] functions as a Mystic Knight.

===''[[Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin]]''===
{{Main|Tyrant (Stranger of Paradise)}}[[File:SOP Tyrant Attire.jpg|right|100px]]
Tyrant is an Expert Job available after unlocking the corresponding nodes in the [[Red Mage (Stranger of Paradise)|Red Mage]] and [[Monk (Stranger of Paradise)|Monk]] Job Trees. In addition, it is available to [[Ash (Stranger of Paradise)|Ash]] after clearing the "[[Ebon Memories: The Yearner]]" side mission.

Tyrant is an offensive hybrid job that combines elemental magic with physical prowess to create an offense that specializes in exploiting enemies' elemental weaknesses while using quick combos to end them. This job borrows from both the Red Mage and the Monk with the shared traits of primarily using status ailment accumulation as a means of debilitation and MP Restoration and the use of agile weapons, like the knuckles to apply debuffs and clear enemy break gauges more easily. The passives given from the Tyrant help to boost its effectiveness by increasing damage dealt to afflicted enemies, improving break recovery, and improving MP recovery from normal attacks.

==Non-''Final Fantasy'' guest appearances==
===''[[Bravely Default]]''===
The Spell Fencer is an optional job obtained by defeating [[Ciggma Khint]] alongside [[Eloch Quentis Khamer VIII]] during Chapter 1's Sub-Scenarios.

{{Main|Rune Fencer}}
The Rune Fencer {{J|魔導剣士|Madō Kenshi|Sorcery Fencer}} is an unlockable [[Final Fantasy XI jobs|job]]. The job functions as the ''Final Fantasy XI'' equivalent of the recurring Mystic Knight job, infusing their blades with magical [[Harbor Rune|runes]]. 

Rune Fencers are intended to use their damage-dealing capabilities to help draw the foe's attention and use their spells and special job abilities to mitigate magic damage. Their magical attacks and defenses have a strong elemental aspect, determined by which runes they are harboring at the time. Built-up harbored runes provide elemental attack and defense, and furthermore can be expended for various effects.

The player can only unlock Rune Fencer by purchasing the ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin|Seekers of Adoulin]]'' expansion and completing the unlocking quest line located in the expansion zones.
