Allusions to the job in the series[]

Final Fantasy IX[]

The Mystic Knight is strongly alluded to in Final Fantasy IX. Provided Vivi is in the party and not incapacitated, Steiner can use Sword Magic with Vivi's aid. Only the damaging Black Magic spells (e.g. Fire) can be used as Sword Magic, not status effect-inducing spells (e.g. Slow), and Vivi must know the spell in question. The attack uses Steiner's turn and MP, and does not affect Vivi's MP or ATB gauge.

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin[]

SOP Tyrant Attire

Tyrant is an Expert Job available after unlocking the corresponding nodes in the Red Mage and Monk Job Trees. In addition, it is available to Ash after clearing the "Ebon Memories: The Yearner" side mission.

Tyrant is an offensive hybrid job that combines elemental magic with physical prowess to create an offense that specializes in exploiting enemies' elemental weaknesses while using quick combos to end them. This job borrows from both the Red Mage and the Monk with the shared traits of primarily using status ailment accumulation as a means of debilitation and MP Restoration and the use of agile weapons, like the knuckles to apply debuffs and clear enemy break gauges more easily. The passives given from the Tyrant help to boost its effectiveness by increasing damage dealt to afflicted enemies, improving break recovery, and improving MP recovery from normal attacks.

Non-Final Fantasy guest appearances[]

The Spell Fencer is an optional job obtained by defeating Ciggma Khint alongside Eloch Quentis Khamer VIII during Chapter 1's Sub-Scenarios.
