Templar (Job)

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Templar is a recurring job class from Ivalice. Templars are knights who work close to their church, using a combination of physical weapons and magic. They tend to be stronger than other magic using jobs, since they can equip heavy armor, but they also have weaker magic stats compared to other magic jobs.

Notable Templars include Beowulf Cadmus and Aliste Rosenheim of Final Fantasy Tactics.

[edit] Trivia

  • Despite sharing the same name, actual Templars were famous for bearing shields marked with a large red cross and wore white mantels which is clearly not shown in game. Ironically Bangaa Templars cannot wield shields without the Shield Bearer passive-ability and although there is a Final Fantasy Tactics A2 equipment called "Templars Shield" that grants immunity to most debuffs, the red cross is still not present.
  • The actual Templars were tasked with protecting Christian pilgrims who journeyed to the holy land and did not practice inquisition, a task infamously tied with the Inquisitors for slaughtering anything from the norm, especially sorcery.
