Warriors who can steal anything from anyone. Their skill is legendary.
Description
Thief is a job from Final Fantasy Tactics. It is one of the fastest jobs, second to Ninja, with the ability to move further than other jobs and have a high Evasion rate.
The Thief's key role is to steal rare equipment from enemies, though this can be blocked by the support ability Safeguard learned from the Chemist. To increase the success rate of stealing, the player can boost the Thief's Speed, as well equipping abilities such as Concentration or Brawler. For the Charm ability, one needs higher Magick Power to ensure the target will fall for them (the target must be of the opposite sex or a monster). It takes 4,520 JP to master.
Leveling Thief to level 4 will unlock the Dragoon, while leveling it to level 5 along with Archer and Geomancer will unlock Ninja.
