General Description: This is another job class you ought to be familiar with if you ever play Final Fantasy: thieves are the quintessential class for those wanting a lot of Agility, as well as for hunting treasures some enemies hold. (Many hold valuable accessories, though those accessories themselves are sometimes pointless, even if valuable.) They’re also the only class able to attack twice per Attack, making combos a lot easier to make, and they can steal all sorts of things: items, money, HP/MP… They can even Steal Will to Eject the enemy from battle. It’s a nice class to use every now and then, especially when you need to Eject an enemy or Steal some items, but the class is too flimsy to use in the long run.
