FFD - Monk

The Monk is a job in Final Fantasy Dimensions obtained at the start of the story, and is shared by both parties.

Appearance[]

The Monk job class gives all characters more unique clothes than the other jobs, giving a more far-eastern feel. Sol wears a red headband with matching trousers and green arm bands. Glaive wears a purple headband with matching trousers and green arm bands. Alba wears a black dress with pink lining similar to a Chinese Qipao, and wears her hair in the odango fashion.

Overview[]

Of the starting Jobs, Monk is the fast, damage-focused option. Monks equip light armor emphasizing evasion. Much of their armor and headgear come with status-boosting bonuses, namely to strength, speed, and vitality. The Monk is faster than the Warrior, but with lower defenses. Their weaponry consists of claws; in the mid-to-late game they get elemental claws and a few that deal bonus damage to certain enemy types, including beasts, humans, dragons, machines, and demons. Ability-wise, Monk is an all-around performer: they have good multi-target attacks, strong single-target attacks, and can heal in a pinch. Their innate command ability is Focus, which is a self-buff stackable upwards of three times that increase attack and speed for the next attack, whether it be a physical, magical, or Fusion Ability. For an endgame party, levels in Monk are highly desirable for both parties because of the Fusion Abilities they contribute towards, though this requires a full Job grind for the Warriors of Light and almost a full Job grind for the Warriors of Darkness. Final Heaven is the strongest single-target attack available to the Warriors of Light, while Phantom Rush for the Warriors of Darkness is comparable. Earlier, Gale Crescent is a solid multi-target Fusion Ability that remains the go-to physical option for Warriors of Light until the Paladin is unlocked, and Charge and Wide Slash become available.

Statistics[]

Monks have high HP, Strength, Vitality, average Speed, and poor MP, Intellect and Mind.

Etymology[]

A monk is a person who practices religious asceticism, living either alone or with any number of other monks. A monk may be a person who decided to dedicate his life to serving all other living beings, or to be an ascetic who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live his life in prayer and contemplation. The concept is ancient and can be seen in many religions and in philosophy.
