The Orator (話術士, Wajutsushi^?), also known as Mediator in the original version or Talker in the Japanese version, is a job class from Final Fantasy Tactics. A magical-based job, the Orators use their voice as their main form of attack, along with guns. It is through the Orator the player can recruit monsters into their party, but they can also be used to recruit human characters. It costs 3,900 JP to master this job. Despite the Orators' illustration, they cannot equip any rod, staff, nor stick in-game.

Leveling Orator up to level 4 with Squire, Chemist, Summoner, Geomancer, and Dragoon will unlock Mime, while leveling the job up to 4 with Summoner will unlock Bard for males.
