Abilities
Edit
NES versionEdit
- Special Ability - Jump
This is the first time Jump appears in Final Fantasy, and it functions exactly the same as in subsequent games. By jumping into the air, the Dragoon avoids all attacks, and comes back down on the enemy a turn later, doing twice as much damage.
Additionally, when a Dragoon uses Jump against a dragon-type enemy, the damage is higher than usual.
DS and iOS versionsEdit
- Special Ability - Jump
In this version, Jump is the same. However, the damage multiplier is dependent on the Job level, with damage ranging from 1.5X damage to 2.4X damage using the following formula:
Damage Bonus = Original Damage x (1.5 + JobLv / 110)
Which give the following results:
| Job Level | Damage Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Jump | |
| 1-10 | 1.5 |
| 11-21 | 1.6 |
| 22-32 | 1.7 |
| 33-43 | 1.8 |
| 44-54 | 1.9 |
| 55-65 | 2.0 |
| 66-76 | 2.1 |
| 77-87 | 2.2 |
| 88-98 | 2.3 |
| 99 | 2.4 |
Additionally, if an enemy is weak against Wind, damage is further doubled.

TriviaEdit
- Though Ricard Highwind from Final Fantasy II marks the first appearance of Dragoons in the series, Final Fantasy III is the first game to feature the Job's Jump command, which would become its trademark.
