The Berserker (バーサーカー, Bāsākā^?) is a recurring Job in the Final Fantasy series. In all of its appearances, they wear animal furs, and tend to be more revealing on the female characters. Berserkers take their name from the Berserk status, which they very often actively or passively fall into. However, their statistics, particularly their physical ones, are usually much higher than those of other Jobs.

AppearancesEdit

Final Fantasy VEdit

When the Water Crystal shatters, one of its shards grants the Berserker job to the party. The player has no control over the character when the class is used, but have very high Attack power which couples with the ability to equip axes. If a Berserker is equipped with the Chicken Knife, the disastrous Berserker Chicken Knife Glitch can take place.

Final Fantasy VIEdit

Umaro is the only character in the series who is a true Berserker, being uncontrollable in battle and changing his actions only if certain Relics are equipped. Gau may also be considered to be a Berserker, but concentrates on enemy abilities rather than purely using physical attacks.

Final Fantasy VIIEdit

Vincent Valentine's Limit Breaks transform him into different monsters which exhibit many of the characteristics of a Berserker, including increased stats and being uncontrollable. However, the rest of the time Vincent is under player control and exhibits the characteristics of a Gunner.
