Thief (シーフ Shīfu) is a special Job class in the Final Fantasy series, and is featured in several installments. Most often, their primary weapon is a Dagger, but some Thieves have been known to equip short swords or boomerangs. Their armor options are limited to lightweight armor and vests. They are known for having moderate physical stats, low defenses and magic stats, and incredibly high speed and evasion.
The most prominent ability of a Thief is to steal items from their opponents. Many variations of this ability exist. For example "Mug" (also known as "Capture") allows a Thief to steal an item while dealing damage. Other abilities of a Thief include "Flee," which allows a free escape from a battle (usually at the cost of some GP), "Caution" (also known as "Alert"), which prevents back attacks and, depending on the game, pincer attacks, as well as the ability to run outside of battle. In later installments, Thieves were also given the power to steal Gil from their opponents as well as items.
Notable thieves include Leila from Final Fantasy II, Locke Cole from Final Fantasy VI, Yuffie Kisaragi from Final Fantasy VII, Zidane Tribal, Blank, Marcus and Cinna from Final Fantasy IX, Rikku from Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2, Nanaa Mihgo from Final Fantasy XI, and Adelle from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
