Puppetmasters are a recurring Job class in the Final Fantasy series. While only selectable as a Job in Final Fantasy XI, they appear as part of the story in the worlds of Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VII. They use nonliving objects to attack in battle.
Appearances
Final Fantasy IV
Luca, the princess of the dwarven kingdom, has possession of several living dolls, collectively called the Calcabrina. They serve as a boss fight, and in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, appear as playable characters alongside Luca herself.
Final Fantasy VII
Reeve Tuesti controls the robotic Cait Sith dolls this way, and considers them his children. Cait Sith in turn fights by controlling a second puppet, a giant Moogle.
In an early version of the script, Reeve is called an "Inspire," capable of breathing life into inanimate objects. However, this plot point was dropped before the game was released.
Final Fantasy X
Although not officially stated, Lulu uses animated stuffed dolls as her weapons, mainly as tools to help her cast Black Magic.
