Line 26:
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: The only one who isn't. {{spoiler|On the other hand his father was royalty...}}
* [[Secret Legacy]]: Everyone else in the party are {{spoiler|[[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]}} except Bartz, the hobo on a chocobo. {{spoiler|Until he finds out that his father fought Exdeath thirty years ago}}.
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: Called "Butz" in non-English versions, which makes this one of the few [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|name translations]] across all media that generally isn't disputed.
** [[Clean Dub Name]]
* [[Walking the Earth]]: Before the game. He's pretty content with it and goes back to doing so at the end.
Line 55:
* [[Ship Tease]]: Her initial dialogue with Bartz (especially the PSX translation) and the Amano art of them embracing in moonlight. Doesn't really happen in-game.
* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: She may be a [[Lady of War]] but she's also so kind and sweet and well-spoken and princessy.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Initially translated as "Reina".
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
 
Line 89:
* [[Stone Wall]]: Before getting job-classed up.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Faris.
* [[What You Are in Thethe Dark]]: Near the beginning of the game, the Siren offers him the chance to flee if he lets her devour everyone else's souls. It's really not much of a question to him.
* [[When I Was Your Age]]: When confronting the Desert of Shifting Sands.
{{quote| "We crossed burning sand every day and liked it!" }}
Line 115:
* [[Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: Averted. Her first reaction to finding out she has a princess aboard is to hold her for ransom.
** Played straight by the rest of her crew, though; the moment they reach the nearest town, they rush to the pub and just start drinking.
* [[Raised Byby Wolves|Raised By Pirates]]
* {{spoiler|[[Rebellious Princess]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]}}
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Bartz becomes even more smitten with her {{spoiler|when she's dressed up for a ball}}. Seems to apply when [[Sleep Cute|she's asleep]], too.
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: Not so much on the sweet, but she fits.
** [[Sweet Onon Polly Oliver]]: There's an optional scene before her outing where Bartz and Galuf fawn over "his" looks.
*** Also, if you talk to one of "his" crew at the start of the game in the Tule pub, he will say "Captain... so dreamy..."
* [[Talk Like a Pirate]]: It's done horribly in the PSX version, with nearly every line beginning with "D'garr!" The GBA simply (and less annoyingly) makes her talk like a thug with [[Antiquated Linguistics|very old slurs]].
Line 149:
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Krile has by no means had an easy life, but that hasn't put a dent in her spirit.
* [[Psychic Nosebleed|Psychic Headache]]: Gets one thanks to Ghido's mind-call.
* [[Raised Byby Grandparents]]: One grandparent, anyway. Her parents [[Parental Abandonment|vanished in the desert]] when she was little.
* [[Rousing Speech]]: After [[It Got Worse|everything has become so much worse]], Krile gives a brief one at the Guardian Tree.

Line 162:
=== The Job Classes ===
 
The cornerstone of [[Final Fantasy V (Video Game)|Final Fantasy V]]'s gameplay, these warrior spirits are acquired from the Crystal Shards that appear after the breaking of each successful crystal.
 
==== The Freelancer ====
Line 192:
* [[Counter Attack]]: Their innate ability.
* [[Critical Hit]]: Bare fists are one of the two ways to trigger critical hits without consuming MP.
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: Like [[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Final Fantasy II]] and [[Final Fantasy Tactics (Video Game)|Final Fantasy Tactics]], your bare hands do rather high damage early in the game.
* [[Heal Thyself]]: Chakra heals some HP and some [[Standard Status Effects]].
* [[Herd-Hitting Attack]]: Their command Kick lets them hit all foes for reduced damage.
Line 209:
[[File:FF5-BlueMage_4799.png|frame]]
 
[[Final Fantasy V (Video Game)|Final Fantasy V]] introduced these unique mages, having the ability to learn certain magic used by enemies. Their skill set is fairly diverse, ranging from offensive magic like Goblin Punch and Flame Thrower, to defensive buffs like Mighty Guard.
 
* [[Blow You Away]]: Has access to the Aero series of spells.
Line 275:
[[File:FF5-RedMage_8764.png|frame]]
 
These scarlet-clad, tabard-wearing wizards take up magic and fighting equally, resulting in a Jack-of-all-trades that is also a [[Master of None]]. [[Final Fantasy V (Video Game)|Final Fantasy V]] gives them the Dualcast ability, making mastering this job ultimately worth it.
 
* [[Crutch Character]]: They're very useful upon first acquisition due to their versatility, then fall behind as other jobs become more useful. However, see [[Magikarp Power]] below.
Line 307:
** [[Making a Splash]]: Leviathan.
** [[Non-Elemental]]: Chocobo, Sylph, Odin (when using Gungnir) and Bahamut.
** [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Apart from the aforementioned Ifrit, Phoenix.
* [[Life Drain]]: Sylph damages a single enemy and heals all living party members.
* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]: Odin, provided he uses Zantetsuken.
Line 395:
* [[Life Drain]] and [[Mana Drain]]: Their Lance skill allows them to recover HP and MP from a foe.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Yet another Heavy Armor job, yet again slightly weaker than a Knight and slightly faster.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Bartz's Dragoon outfit very closely resembles [[Final Fantasy IV (Video Game)|Kain Highwind]].
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Knife Nut|Knives]], [[Blade Onon a Stick|spears]], and [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|shields]].
 
==== The Dancer ====
Line 431:
** [[Blow You Away]]: Bartz
** [[Making a Splash]]: Lenna
** [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Faris
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Krile
* [[Foil]]: See the Oracle entry.
Line 438:
* [[Random Encounters]]: Can increase their rate through the Lure passive ability.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The character's outfits resemble that of [[Saint Seiya]] characters. Each of the characters also resemble a Summon within the game (Bartz to Odin or Bahamut, Lenna to Shiva, Faris to Syldra, and Krile to Carbuncle).
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Multi Melee Master|They get access to most physically based weapons]], such as [[Knife Nut|knives]], [[Heroes Prefer Swords|swords, knight swords]], [[An Axe to Grind|axes]], [[Katanas Are Just Better|katana]], [[Blade Onon a Stick|spears]], and [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|shields]].
 
==== The Cannoneer ====
Line 492:
* [[Evil Overlord]]: He has the multitude of demons sealed in the Rift at his beck and call, apparently by promising to reshape the world for them to rule.
** There's also the fact that he himself is actually composed of ''multiple demons''.
* {{spoiler|[[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: During the final battle, he becomes consumed by the Void(which he had attempted to gain control of over the course of the game), turning him into [[One-Winged Angel|Neo-Exdeath]]}}
* [[Fighting a Shadow]]: The Sealed Castle is patrolled by ExDeath Souls.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
Line 508:
* [[Power of the Void]]: His obsession.
* [[Scary Impractical Armor]]
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]
* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: Those spikes have got to be over a foot high.
* [[Shut Up, Kirk]]: Delivered to Bartz and the gang when they confront him in his castle.
Line 550:
* [[Bonus Boss]]: In the GBA version.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: His domain is entitled THE SEALED TEMPLE.
 
 
Line 570:
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Towards his grandfather.
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: He would be insufferable if he wasn't so funny.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: There have been several references to Mid in the series. "Mid" is one of the default names for the Red Mage job in the remakes of ''[[Final Fantasy I (Video Game)|Final Fantasy I]]'', [[Final Fantasy IV (Video Game)|Cid Pollendina's]] grandson in ''[[Final Fantasy IV the After Years|The After Years]]'' is named Mid, and Mid is [[Final Fantasy XII (Video Game)|Balthier's]] true middle name.
* [[Nerd Glasses]]
