- "Masters of hand-to-hand combat who intuitively counterattack"
- —Description
The Monk is a job in Final Fantasy V, which is given to you after the Wind Crystal shatters.
[edit] Appearance
The monk job class gives all the characters more unique clothes than other jobs, but they all have a far-eastern feel. Bartz wears a headband, a green vest and some trousers. Lenna wears a red dress similar to a Chinese Qipao, and even wears her hair in the odango fashion. Faris just wears a white Gi, while Galuf wears a red belt and black trousers. Krile wears something similar to Lenna's, but with a bow-tie in her hair.
[edit] Abilities
- Job Command - Kick
- Innate Abilities - Counter, Barehanded
- Equipment - None
The monk's job command causes it to launch a flying kick at all enemies, for some minor damage. Strangely enough, this is the only job command in the game that can't be learned by leveling up the job, and thus can only be used if you are a monk. If the monk is attacked physically, Counter will cause the monk to attacks the attacking enemy back. Barehanded is, of course, the monk's trademark ability, causing it to have high attack power when it doesn't have anything equipped.
By Mastering Ranger's ability X-Fight, because the Monk normally attacks twice on an enemy, multiply that with five, and cause the Monk to attack ten times, something that is really useful for dealing extremely heavy damage to bosses.
