What is your favourite Final Fantasy Job/Class?

Paladin, baby!!
It's what I played in FFXI and it's pretty much determined my MMO identity since. Love the high defense, use of some white magic, and tanking role when talking about the MMOs specifically. In my favorite single player FF, I also make Ashe a Paladin so that she has a more aggressive combat role instead of making her the archetype of passive healer heroine.

I have an incredibly strong emotional attachment to Machinist due to my turbulent history with the job in FFXIV. I was really excited for it when it was announced, as I'm a really big fan of characters who use more advanced technology in otherwise standard fantasy settings. I started leveling it when it launched and honestly it was straight up garbage. I basically hate-leveled it over the course of half a year because even if it was super boring, I thought the armor looked really cool.
Eventually I had to swap over to it for my raid group (I've traditionally mained Monk) since we couldn't fill our ranged slot and I happened to have it leveled. Thankfully, as I got better at it, the more I found myself taking pride in playing it. Years later and I'm still maining it. The job has gone through a lot of changes since it launched, the majority of them being pretty dang awful (this job has traditionally been broken, and not in the fun overpowered way), but I can't help but find myself wanting to stick with it.

Blue Mage and Beastmaster easily.
Beastmaster was so much fun in FFXI... it almost felt like an entire different game. And i've loved Blue mages in every game they've appeared. It includes the personal quest to gain its abilities that other jobs don't have.

Summoner of course. Give me those 20 minute long summoning cutscenes where the galaxy gets destroyed everytime you use them.
Red Mage... specifically from FFXI. I don't think I've ever found a job's solo and party role to be as satisfying. Loved all the micromanaging of skills and equipment. Also being able to solo stuff most classes could only dream of was the best. I will never forget solo'ing the Sea Horror at a pretty low level.
Points to avatar. Beastmaster <3
Best class in FFXI, and I've been looking for the BST experience in other games ever since. There was nothing like it. A lone beastmaster in a dangerous world that he learned to respect on all the other classes, and get to use it as his weapon as a BST. I got a chance to relax and chill out in the most beautiful areas no matter how threatening they were, all while taking part in dangerous combat. Sigh...

Ok, this would have probably been my answer if I had a chance to try it. I looked over it, even though I duoed with a pup near level 75 but I thought I was helping them haha. I did see some amazing PUP solo videos in Abyssea. It loos like the answer to "what if you're in a zone where you can't charm things." I wish they would remaster FFXI for new consoles and PC. I want to go back and not just be back to visit which is what I currently do, forgot the address and phone number of my old account and SE isn't budging.PUP, the one true Job.

If I had to go overall design language and skillset, the Dragoon is the best. Jump is powerful and useful. The dragoon armor design is beautiful and unique.
If I had to go pure skillset, then Black Mage. Offensive magic is always the best skillset to have.
In therms of design, I have to give it to White Mage. The white mage garb is the cutest thing and is a great basis for character design. It's so iconic and adds to the unique overall feel of what makes final fantasy, Final Fantasy.
I'd love a non MMO job/class based main line final fantasy. Go back to the roots again.

I've always had a soft spot for Dark Knight and Dragoon. FFT made me love the Geomancer though, and I wish it was a more common class/job in FF games.
Geomancers were great in FFV, random elemental spells saved my hide in a few boss battles...
For sure, though class names were not stated in FFVI, collecting/learning spells for the old guy was great fun!
All in all, would vote Blue Mage.
Dark Knight
Dragoon
Blue Mage
Red Mage
Dragoon
Blue Mage
Red Mage
In no particular order. Their FF14 renditions are my favorite as well.
