This guide's purpose is to outline all of the equipment and crowns, discuss their strengths and weaknesses, and discuss strategies for each. The informationin this guide is based on /my/ experience in the game; I don't have hackingdevices (or even the strategy guide, if there is one XD), so I write about whatI know about so far. Right now I don't have info about all of the jobs, but Iwill update it soon! This guide has spoilers, so if you don't want any then

||\/()[]\/|||| CROWNS ||o==========o

The different crowns will be outlined like this:

-Name, in-game description, and average stats at Level 50.


6/28

-Requirements to recieve

-Abilities, descriptions, AP cost, and Gems to aquire.

Design: Rating (out of 5)

---This section will rate how the crown looks. Pretty much just based on myopinion and doesn't mean anything about its performance.

Performance: Rating (out of 5)

---In this section I'll talk about how good the job is in battle. The ratingsystem for the job's performance is like this:

* . . . . = Useless. Never use this job!

* * . . . = A little useful. Sometimes you might want to use this. Maybe.

* * * . . = Somewhat useful. This job is decent and can help out sometimes.

* * * * . = Pretty useful. This job can be a part of most teams.

* * * * * = Extremely useful. You are going to want this job on your team formost of the game!

[N] = Necessary. If there is an N included in the rating it means that thecrown is virtually necessary at many points in the game. The game couldprobably be beaten without it, but it would be extremely difficult and requirelots of patience and expert knowledge of the game.

[S] = Situational. If there is an S included in the rating it means that thecrown can be extremely helpful in certain situations, which I will discussbelow the rating.

C = Combo. If there is a C included in the rating it means that this job worksextremely well with at least one other job, and that will further be discussedbelow the rating.

Oh, and just for a little fun I made the jewels on each of the name's crownsmean something:

() = Physical-based Crown.

= Magical-based Crown.

[] = Item-based Crown.

{} = Ability-focused Crown, or a Crown that is a mix of different styles ofplay and doesn't fit anywhere else.

Also, whenever I describe the Crown I'm assuming that the reader knows atleast what it looks like and has a basic understanding of the game, so that'swhy I don't describe every detail of every aspect and stuff x3

Now, on to the Crowns!

/\|\/\/()\/\/|


7/28

|FREELANCER|o----------o

Keep all your gems when your party dies!

Requirements: NONE

~ABILITIES~

NONE

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

It's just the characters' normal designs, which are fine. Jusqua's hair is kindof ugly with nothing to cover it, so that's kind of a downfall, but other thanthat there's not much to say.

-----------|Performance: * . . . .

-----------

This Crown is just the characters at their base. It's stats are lower than allthe other jobs, and its only benefit is that you keep all your gems when youdie. It doesn't have any abilities, either. If you use this job you probablywill die a lot sooner than usual, so I guess that's why its ability is what itis. I mean, you can use this if you die a lot, but it's boring and not fun toplay as so I don't see the point. When you die, you just start at the last savepoint AND use all of your gems. Guess what happens if you just turn off thepower? The same thing except without the Gem loss. So yeah, if it's not obviouswhich choice to choose, then you can use this job.

/\/\/()\/\|WAYFARER|o--------o

Recovery items work better!

Requirements: Beat Greaps in the Witch's Mansion.

~ABILITIES~

Runaway - 1 AP---Run and live to fight another day.

Escape - 2 AP---Escape the battle so you can continue the adventure - guaranteed!

Recovery - 3 AP---Recover some HP each turn.

Friend in Need - 4 AP


8/28

---Summon your travel companion to attack the foe.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

This one's okay. The hat's kind of cute with the feather, but it's prettyboring. One thing I did figure out, though, is that it's based off of the Saveguy! Friend in Need's "travel comapnion" is the dog, and it does A LOT ofdamage; I used it on a normal enemy and it did over 2000! So yeah, that's aneat tidbit of info c:

-----------|Performance: * * * . .[N]-----------

This Crown is all about escaping from battle. It peforms its purpose wellconsidering it's the only who can. Anyway, damage-wise the Wayfarer isn'tanything special, but the fact that this Crown is the only one with theability to escape from battle is a HUGE deal. Near the beginning of the gamethis is vital since you don't have your full party yet, and you can easily diein a normal battle if you encounter the wrong kind of enemies. It's also

useful at the end parts of the game to make most of your party membersWayfarers and just have them all just Runaway until it works when trying to getthrough an area quickly.

/\|\/\/\/\/||WHITE MAGE|o----------o

AP cost for white magic is reduced by one!

Requirements: Beat Sand Devil in Quicksand Castle.

~ABILITIES~

Healthgiver - 1 AP---Make your next healing spell work on all your allies.

Lifegiver - 2 AP---Make your next healing spell more powerful and work on all your allies

Hide - 2 AP---Hide from the foes so they will not attack you.

Miracle - 5 AP---Give your allies a big HP boost and cure all their ailments.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

Once again, it's okay. It's a pretty simple white hood. It's not too original


9/28

or exciting, but it lets you know that it specializes in healing.

-----------|Performance: * * * * *[N]-----------

This Crown is about healing the party and protecting them from damage,obviously. It's also another necessary job. I had a White Mage in my party forpretty much the entire game once I got it. Sure, anybody can use Cure, but noCrown has Spirit as high as the White Mage or can ALWAYS use it without havingto restore AP somehow. The Healthgiver/Cure combo is amazingly effective atkeeping everyone's HP at its max, and Lux is awesome once you get it (Itraises everyone's max HP by around 1.5 times their original amount and castsRegen, which restores WAY more than Poison takes away). The only possiblesubsitute for a White Mage would be the Salve-maker, but I'll talk about thatlater c:

/\|\/\/\/\/||BLACK MAGE|o----------o

AP cost for black magic is reduced by one!

Requirements: Beat Sand Devil in Quicksand Castle.

~ABILITIES~

Magic Mojo - 1 AP---Make your next attack spell inflict more damage than usual.

Spell Focus - 2 AP---Make your next attack spell inflict a lot more damage than usual.

Mirror - 3 AP---Enable your entire party to deflect spells back at the enemy.

Magic Might - 4 AP---Cast a mighty attack spell against all your foes.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * .~~~~~~

It's pretty pimp. The top hat is cool (especially on Jusqua! It goes perfectly

with his hair and makes it not hideous!), and is a nice change from the typicalhooded, yellow-eyed cave creature seen in previous FFs.

-----------|Performance: * * * * *-----------

The Black Mage's focus is dealing offensive, magic-based damage to the enemy,and it does an amazing job at it. Magic is so broken in this game, and since


10/28

you don't get any really good physical Crowns until mid-way through the gameit's a must have on your team. It can dish out large amounts of damage even onneutral attacks, and once you have access to the Soul of Thamasa accessorynormal enemies won't be any problem for the Black Mage. Once you get a lot ofelemental spells you can stop using Magic Mojo because you'll want the BlackMage to be as effective and versatile as possible. And you won't really needit anyway. The Black Mage's only downfall is it's low HP. It seems to diefairly quickly :\ But that's only in boss battles you're unprepared for.

/\|\/()\/||BANDIT|o------o

Monsters drop better items!

Requirements: Lose to Ogre Bear in Animal Burrow.

~ABILITIES~

Steal - 1 AP---Try to steal an item from one of the foes.

Plunder - 2 AP---Try to steal items from all the foes.

Deadly Blow - 3 AP---Possibly inflict sudden death on a foew when you attack.

Pillage - 4 AP---Steal an item from a foe - guaranteed!

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * .~~~~~~

Dis is coo. I really like the Bandit's design. It's cute and simple andeffective, and just a cool look. It's actually on the face instead of just ahat, which is neat, and is one of the few Crowns that does so.

-----------|Performance: * * * * .-----------

This Crown is all about stealing items -- 3 of its abilities focus on it!Even though this Crown's focus is so narrow, stealing items is ALWAYSbeneficial. The only problem is that there's not enough space in the inventoryto steal from every enemy in every battle, and most of the items are HighPotions or not very useful. However, the extra item drops are beneficial. Nomatter what the items give you a constant supply of money (especially if yousell them in Urbeth behind the counter!). Also, it's the only good physicalCrown you get for a while, so it's pretty useful until then.


11/28

/\|\/{}\/|| BARD |o------o

Get the most out of equipped instruments!

Requirements: Lose to Ogre Bear in Animal Burrow.

~ABILITIES~

Ditty - 2 AP---Sing a song to raise your party's attack power. Lasts 3 turns.

Motet - 2 AP---Sing a song to raise your party's defense. Lasts 3 turns.

Aria - 2 AP---Sing a song to raise your party's status attributes. Lasts 3 turns.

Fugue - 4 AP

---Sing a sad song that stops your foes in their tracks. Lasts only one turn.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

The design is okay. It's wreath on their head, and just that. I guess I cansee the translation, but it's kind of a long shot. It could have been moreelaborate.

-----------

|Performance: * * * . .[C]-----------

This Crown is one of the many Crowns that focus on raising status attributesin battle. It's basically like the Musician's counterpart! However, it doesn'thave much promise after the beginning of the game. Harps are one of thestrongest weapons when you first have access to them, which is why the Bardis good at the beginning of the game. This Crown's better damaging stat isphysical attack, and with the boost from Harps it can actually do decentdamage. It's abilities are actually pretty good -- Ditty doubles attackstrength and Motet doubles defense. But there are better Crowns in the gamethat are more effective at ending battles faster, and while the extra boostscould be useful in boss battles, they end fairly quickly, and pretty much have

to devote the Bard to constantly provide those boosts, and it's just as easyto have another offensive team member. Motet is probably its best ability, butbosses tend to use more powerful magic attacks anyway. All in all, it's a goodoption but not the best option. As for it's Combo rating, it makes theMusician better. That's the combo. So yeah, that's that.

/\/\/[]\/\


12/28

|MERCHANT|o--------o

Find more gems!

Requirements: Beat Demon in Urbeth.

~ABILITIES~

Finder - 1 AP---Find gems in the midst of battle.

Keeper - 2 AP---Find gems in the midst of battle more effectively than with Finder.

Ransom - 3 AP---Each time you are struck by an attack, pay a ransom instead of takingdamage.

Money Talks - 4 AP---Inflict damage in proportion to the amount of money you own.----This ability costs 1,000G to use, and its damage is equal to 1 percent ofyour current G.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

It's kind of cute. The hat's kind of neat, but also kind of ridiculous XD Idon't really understand why it's a hat for merchant (maybe it is in Japan orsomething), but I like it enough nonetheless.

-----------|Performance: * * * * .

-----------

The Merchant is all about Gems and money and stuff like that. At first glanceI was like "Omg wth is this?" and didn't use it for a while. But once I wasrunning low on Gems I used this Crown and it was way less of a problem. Also,if you're extremely wealthy you could have everyone be a Merchant and useRansom, which lasts the entire battle, and be impervious to damage! And thenyou could have one or two members just keep using Keeper (because Findersucks) and not have to worry so much about your money loss after the battlesince the Gem goes straight to your inventory and is not added to the Gemsacquired after battle. The only downfall to this strategy is that the Merchantis bad at inflicting large amounts of damage. But since this strategy canpretty much only be used near the end of the game when you're swimming money

you'll also have access to the strongest weapons, so it might not be as muchof a problem.

/\/\/[]\/\

|\/[] []\/||*SALVE-MAKER|o------------o


13/28

Use items without consuming AP!

Requirements: Beat Demon in Urbeth.

~ABILITIES~

Dispensary - 1 AP---Do not consume recovery items when you use them. Lasts 4 turns.

Healthcare - 2 AP---Make recovery items work on everyone in the party.----To clarify, this ability actually lets you use a recovery item on thewhole party. It doesn't cast something that affects you for a certain amountof turns; once you select the ability you're taken to your inventory to selectan item.

Poison Pill - 3 AP---Change recovery items into poison and use them to inflict damage.

Level Serum - 4 AP---Raise the party's level by one for the duration of the battle.

~~~~~~{Design: * . . . .~~~~~~

This Crown is so ugly! Nothing about the design makes me want to use it. It'sonly redeeming quality is the cute little tatto on the wearer's cheek, butthe hat is still extremely unappealing. It looks like some kind of deformedchef's hat!

-----------|Performance: * * * * .

-----------

This Crown is all about using healing items, and the only Crown that couldactually subsitute for the White Mage half-way effectively. Basically thestrategy for using this Crown is to use Dispensary on the first turn and thenHealthcare every other turn (preferably with an X-Potion, which can heals 160HP every time its used, which is more than the White Mage can heal for a longwhile) until Dispensary runs out. You REALLY have to keep track of whenDispensary runs out because if you accidentally use your last healing item youare SCREWED for the rest of the battle. And since Healthcare takes 2 AP you'llhave to boost intelligently so you don't end up with only 1 AP when you REALLYneed to heal. If you want to use this Crown to make the game a little morechallenging (and to save on spell books, heh) then you totally can, but the

White Mage is better overall.

/\/\/\/\

|\/ \/||ELEMENTALIST|o------------o


14/28

Elemental damage is reduced by half!

Requirements: Beat Arbaroc in Arbor's Great Tree.

~ABILITIES~

Augment - 1 AP---Enhance the effects of allies' element attacks. Lasts 4 turns.

Amplify - 2 AP---Greatly enhance the effects of allies' element attacks. Lasts 4 turns.

Mysterio - 3 AP---Enhance your party's resistance to element attacks.

Elemental - 4 AP---Unleash a storm of element attacks against the foe.

~~~~~~{Design: * * . . .~~~~~~

The first thing I thought was "What the heck. What is this supposed to be?" Ikind of feel like they were running out of ideas for Crowns so they were like"Elements... Native Americans!" because they were close to the Earth orsomething... But it's not like it's a Geomancer. Whatever. At least it'sbetter than the Salve-maker... x3

-----------|Performance: * * * . .[S]-----------

This Crown is all about elements. Like that wasn't obvious. At first I didn'treally see the point of this Crown, but once I got to a specificly difficult

boss I decided to upgrade this Crown to see if it had the ability I thought itwould. And it did: Mysterio. This ability can make boss battles a joke. If youcombine it with shields that resist the boss's main element you will bevirtually invincible -- attacks will only do 1 damage! And the Elementalistwill absorb the attack damage! Just watch for when Mysterio runs out (it lasts4 turns) and make sure the Elementalist has enough AP to recast it (especiallyif you're not using a healer! (which is totally possible with thisstrategy c: )). However, this is about the only use the Elementalist has.It's outclassed by other Crowns in normal battles, and doesn't have any otherredeeming qualities.

/\

|\/()\/||RANGER|o------o

Deliver extra damage with bows and arrows!

Requirements: Beat Arbaroc in Arbor's Great Tree.

~ABILITIES~


15/28

Target - 1 AP---Ensure that every attacks strikes its target.

Snipe - 2 AP---Ensure that every attack strikes its target - with extra damage.

Covering Fire - 3 AP---Inflict heavy damage on all the foes at the beginning of the next turn.

Smashing Bow - 4 AP---Deliver a single, mighty blow against the enemy.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

The Ranger's Crown design is weird. I guess I can see that it has that weird,winter hat because that's sometimes what people wear who hang out in theforest or whatever, but it could have been cooler. This is one of the Crownsthat goes with the whole "Random-No-Theme" theme that many of the jobs have.It doesn't feel contiguous with the game's style.

-----------|Performance: * * * . .-----------

The Ranger is all about dealing physical damage to rear enemies, and aboutalways hitting them. Maybe it's just because I suck at archery, but I'venever understood why bow & arrow users in the Final Fantasy games revolvearound having good accuracy because isn't hard to aim with bows and arrows? Ialways found it hard. It just seems like it would take a lot more skill to hitthe enemy with an arrow than with a sword, thus it take more time to hit it ornot do as much damage. I don't know, it just doesn't make sense to me. ANYWAY,the ranger is an average Crown. It's good when you get it because it has the

highest strength, and it can hit rear enemies. But I always had a Black Mageon my party, so the Ranger would damage an enemy in the back only to have theBlack Mage do enough damage to kill it at full HP! Basically, it would havebeen more effective to have a different physical fighter who could pick offthe front enemies and just let the Black Mage or Shaman take care of the rearones. The Ranger is just outclassed by other physical fighters like the Banditor Fighter, so yeah... :\

/\/\/()\/\|*FIGHTER|

o--------o

Deliver extra bare-handed damage!

Requirements: Beat Ice Dragon in Invidia Underground.

~ABILITIES~

Combat - 1 AP


16/28

---Increase the odds of landing a critical hit. Lasts 4 turns.

Jugular - 2 AP---Strike the foe with a critical hit.

Chakra - 3 AP---Double your own HP for the duration of the battle.

Frenzy-fu - 4 AP---Hit the foe with repeated attacks. The stronger you are, the longer thechain.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

The Fighter's design is kind of neat. It's just a sash thing around thewearer's head, but it's effective. The colors are kind of ugly, though, andit's just really simple and not unique in any way.

-----------|Performance: * * * * .

-----------

The Fighter is all about dealing physical damage with its fists! It punchesthe enemy all up in down up on da battle field! Okay, enough with that XDAnyway, it's a pretty good Crown. One thing that is not totally explained isit's innate ability; what it does is make the wearer's Attack equal theirStrength when not equipped with a weapon! This is really awesome, and it evenequals any boosts their Strength has! This Crown is really good when you don'thave access to any strong non-elemental weapons (which is most of the time)and you need some for a boss or something. Bare-handed fighters have alwaysbeen my least favorite class types, but I like this one!

/\/\/{}\/\|*SCHOLAR|o--------o

Make the most of equipped books!


~ABILITIES~

Quell - 2 AP---Reduce the attack power of all foes by half. Lasts 3 turns.

Subdue - 2 AP---Reduce the defense of all foes by half. Lasts 3 turns.

Restrain - 2 AP---Slow the movements of all foes. Lasts 3 turns.

Tame - 5 AP


17/28

---Reduce the attack and defense of all foes to 1. Applies only for that turn.

~~~~~~{Design: * * . . .~~~~~~

It's lame. Scholars always seemed lame to me, and this Crown's design doesn'thelp. It's boring and unappealing.

-----------|Performance: * * * . .-----------

This Crown specializes in lowering the foes' physical stats. The thing aboutall of these stat-altering Crowns is that you don't need them. You can usethem if you like them, but there aren't a lot of situations in which theywould be invaluable. You can as easily heal every turn as you can rely onstat-altering abilities. Tame is a good ability, though, and can be reallyhelpful against bosses when they're about to use a super strong attack --that is, if it doesn't /miss/. Overall, I just don't see the point. Nothingreally distinguishes this class as anything special, so I don't see the pointof using it. It doesn't even know Libra or something! Lame...

/\|\/\/{}\/\/||PARTY HOST|o----------o

Deal more damage with joint attacks!

Requirements: Beat Rolan in Spelvia's Throne's Room.

~ABILITIES~

Charm - 1 AP---Psych up a single ally.

Rouse - 2 AP---Psych up everyone in the party.

Pot Luck - 3 AP---Something will happen, that's for sure.----Some of these things are as follows:

Sudden death to all enemies!Everyone loses their AP!

The Foes have recovered their HP!Everyone's HP is at maximum!Nothing happened...

Go Team Go! - 4 AP---Psych up everyone in the party - a lot!

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .


18/28

~~~~~~

Another average looking crown. It's a silver tiara, and that's it.Whoop-dee-doo.

-----------|Performance: * * * . .-----------

This Crown focuses on psyching up the party, and is kind of like a Gamblerin that it can use Pot Luck. And that is its only interesting feature. Beingpsyched up is great and all, but I don't see why you would devote an entireparty member to making it happen. There's not much to say about this Crown.Use it if you want, or don't.

/\|\/()\/|| HERO |o------o

Get psyched up more often!


~ABILITIES~

Reckless - 2 AP---Throw everyting you have into an attack, but weaken your defense.

Bladeblitz - 2 AP---Strike at the entire enemy party.

Wrath - 3 AP---Deliver masive magic damage to a single foe.

Finale - 4 AP---Combine with your allies to deliver a combination attack.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * .~~~~~~

This Crown's look is actually kind of cool. I like the headpiece. It'sinteresting, and that's something that some of the other Crowns lack :\

-----------|Performance: * * * * .-----------

This Crown is all about dealing a lot of damage! It possesses one of the onlyabilites costing less than 3 AP that allows the user to damage all of theenemies in one turn, which is pretty awesome! Bladeblitz reminds me of FFXIIIand Lightning's psuedo-signature abilities that only she can use near thebeginning of the game. That was actually a cool move c: The only thing thatwould make this job have 5 stars is that if it had a weapon specialty. But


19/28

even without that it's pretty good. Wrath is also a really good ability, andis motivation to equip your Hero with a Harp or strong Dagger so it has goodAttack /and/ Magic Attack. Overall, it's a pretty good Crown!

/\/\/{}\/\

|\/{} {}\/||SPELL FENCER|o------------o

Follow up a spell with an attack for extra damage!

Requirements: Beat Asmodeus in Quicksand Castle.

~ABILITIES~

Magic Sword - 1 AP---Change weapon element and strike with attack spells.

Mystic Sword - 2 AP---Change weapon element. A more powerful version of Magic Sword.

Magic Thwart - 3 AP---Nullify the effects of attack spells cast against you. Lasts 4 turns.

Magic Infuse - 3 AP---Cast an attack spell and strike with your weapon at the same time.

~~~~~~{Design: * * . . .~~~~~~

It's a turban. What does that have to do with being a spell /fencer/? It's

lame.

-----------|Performance: * * . . .-----------

The point of this Crown is to... wait, what's the point of this Crown? Why wasit even included in the game? I don't see any reason why this Crown wasincluded other than to give Krijn something to be that was interesting at thepoint in the story when you meet him. But once you get this Crown it's kind ofa let-down because it turns out to be pretty lame. The only thing that keepsthis Crown from having 1 star is Magic Thwart. This is its only interesting

ability. And it's decent at physically attacking. However, Magic Thwart isoutclassed by the Elementalist's Mysterio + Shield combo, so yeah. Don't usethis job.

/\|\/()\/|| MONK |o------o


20/28

Grow stronger with every ressurection!

Requirements: Beat Belphegor on Mount Gulg.

~ABILITIES~

Tool - 1 AP---Give a dead ally the ability to attack the foe.----An ally must be dead before this works.

Implement - 2 AP---Give a dead ally the ability to use magic.----An ally must be dead before this works. It doesn't actually let you choosethe magic it uses;it randomly selects a magic skill they have equipped andthey use it. And sometimes they don't even perform magic, and isntead justattack.

Kamikaze - 1 AP---Attack foes as you die. The more times you have died, the greater thedamage.

Ghost Army - 3 AP

---Summon an army of ghosts that attacks all foes and deals devastating damage.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * .~~~~~~

This Crown's design is pretty cool, and it looks especially good with itsarmor. I like the skull and the blue; it's a unique design and I like it c:

-----------|Performance: * * . . .

-----------

This Crown's purpose is to make dying seem like a good thing :I It doesn't doa very good job. Tool and Implement seemed cool at first, but once I actuallyused them I was like "oh, this is stupid." It seemed like it wouldn't be sobad having someone die because then they'd be immune to damage, or still beable to heal if they were the healer on the team. But since you don't evenget to choose the magic that is performed it's not even worth it. I guess thiscould be okay if Tool was used on a physical attacker, but, once again, Idon't see the point. It would have been cool if the Monk could have usedabilites or attacked or something while /it/ was dead, but it can't, so yeah.I don't like it. The reason it didn't get only 1 star, however, is because ofGhost Army. This doesn't around 600-700 damage to the entire enemy party AND

can cause instant death. That being said, it can be a good way to get battlesdone quickly. And for only 3 AP it's an awesome ability. If only the rest ofthe Crown were awesome.

/\|\/{}\/||DANCER|o------o


21/28

Deal extra damage when using a shortsword!

Requirements: Beat Leviathan on the Overworld bay near Liberte.

~ABILITIES~

Dance - 1 AP---Recover AP more quickly than usual. Lasts 3 turns.

Perform - 3 AP---Make your allies recover their AP more quickly than usual. Lasts 3 turns.

Applaud - 1 AP---Increase one Ally's AP by 3 points.

Ovation - 2 AP---Restore all of one ally's AP

~~~~~~{Design: * * . . .~~~~~~

Boring. Lame. I don't like it. It looks effortless, as in they put no effortinto making up a good Crown.

-----------|Performance: * * * . .-----------

This Crown is purely meant to support the other Crowns by restoring their AP.It can be pretty devastating if you want someone to keep using a 4 or 5 APability over and over again (like Desolator!). The only thing is that I don'tknow if I'd dedicate an entire slot on your team to it. Ethers are so common

in this game (and can even be bought) that if you really wanted to keep usinga lot of high-AP abilities then you could just as easily have a party memberwho has a bunch of Ethers (because the battle will end WAY more quickly if youkeep using strong abilities). And it's not like it's hard to restore APwithout Ethers or the Dancer -- just Boost for 2 turns. The most effective wayto use this Crown (and the only way you should) is that if you have each ofyour high-AP ability users equipped with Hermes Sandals, so they always attackbefore the Dancer, and use Applaud on the same turn. With Perform in effectthis will work better, but Applaud is still necessary to keep using 4 & 5 APabilities every turn. Overall, this Crown isn't necessary, but it haspotential.

/\/\/()\/\|*PALADIN|o--------o

Defend yourself even better when equipped with a shield!

Requirements: Beat Lucifer inside Rolan's Soul in Spelvia.


22/28

~ABILITIES~

Cover - 1 AP---Shelter a friend from attack and take the damage yourself.

Bait - 2 AP---Draw the foe's attention so you become the target of their attacks.

Avenge - 3 AP---Increase the damage you inflict the more you are targeted for attack.

Last Stand - 4 AP---Hang on to life for several turns at HP 1.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

It's okay. The armor's kind of neat, but also kind of unappealing... It's anaverage-looking Crown.

-----------|Performance: * * * . . [S]-----------

This Crown is all about being able to take a lot of damage. It's a decentCrown, and useful in boss battles. It's not very interesting, though, and it'sabilites are only very useful when fighting multiple powerful enemies; theyaren't necessary in regular battles at all. However, in some boss battlesthere /are/ multiple powerful enemies, so using Last Stand and Bait is areally good strategy to keep the other team members from dying. And evenwithout those abilities this Crown is good at staying alive.

/\|\/\/[]\/\/||*ALCHEMIST|o----------o

Boost the damage inflicted by attack items!

Requirements: Beat Beelzebub in the Tower of the Sky in Arbor.

Experiment - 1 AP---Transform an item in your possession into another kind of item.

Forge - 2 AP---Create a random attack item and add it to your belongings.

Smelt - 3 AP---Combine items for a variety of different effects.

Cast - 4 AP---Throw all the attack items you carry at the foe.


23/28

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * .~~~~~~

This Crown design is cool! It's one of the coolest ones in the bunch, and it'sjust lacking that extra pollish to make it have 5 stars x3

-----------|Performance: * * . . .-----------

The Alchemist specializes in using attack items. The only good thing aboutthis Crown is that you can get a bunch of attack items and sell them. Attackitems do very little damage when compared to any other job that specializes inusing damage. it's kind of depressing because this job seemed cool, but afterusing it I was totally let down. It would be different if the inventoryweren't so small and Smelt could actually be consistenly useful, but it's not,so yeah. And Forge doesn't even always work! So you'll be stuck for a fewturns trying to get an attack item, but once you do everyone else will havealready killed the enemies. The Black Mage is just completely superior to thisCrown, so unless you just like it I don't see the point of using it.

/\|\/\/||SHAMAN|o------o

AP cost for dark magic is reduced by one!

Requirements: Beat Mammon in the Sun Temple south of Invidia.

~ABILITIES~

Ritual - 1 AP

---Make your next dark magic spell affect all your foes.

Hex - 2 AP---Make your next dark magic spell more powerful and affect all your foes.

Spellbound - 3 AP---Prevent both friend and foe alike from taking any actions. Lasts severalturns.

Forbidden Art - 4 AP---Reduce the HP of friend and foe alike to 1.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * *~~~~~~

The Shaman's design is really cool! The hood is cool, but the face makeup(?)is the best part. It's cute and cool and creepy, but goes with the wholedesign really well! I feel like a lot of effort was put into this Crown c:

-----------


24/28

|Performance: * * * * .-----------

The Shaman is all about damaging the enemy through non-direct means byinflicting status ailments and using other unique Dark Magic spells. The Crownis my favorite, so it's a bit of a disapointment that I can't give it 5 starsXD While it /is/ really awesome, the Black Mage is still superior when itcomes to pure damage output, and near the end of the game when you're fightingthe really hard bosses you'll want to use it instead of the Shaman because ofDesolator. However, the Shaman is still really good! Drain is an AMAZINGspell, and basically means that the Shaman will almost never need to behealed! Unlike in past FF games, Drain actually does as much damage as anormal spell, so it's basically like the Black Mage using Leaf except that youget absorb HP! (and it seems to be a little bit more powerful than Leaf, eventhough their Magic Attack is the same) It's especially amazing when combinedwith Hex (or Ritual, but when you want to use this strategy Hex is a waybetter choice) because you can absorb HP from ALL enemies. This will come inVERY handy whenever you're facing bosses that consist of multiple targets. TheShaman is the only Crown that can make magic affect all of its targets, andsice magic never misses this is a reliable source of damage to wittle down theenemy's health. Also, the Shaman is good in regular battles, too, becauseDrain does just about as much damage as a Black Mage's low-level spells. Ifonly there were more levels of Drain :( Its other abilities are good, too.Spellbound would be good combined with Regen and Poison, but is slightly

gimmicky. Forbidden Art, however, is an extremely powerful and cheap abilityXD It should ONLY be used when the Shaman has Old Shoes equipped (which makethe wearer act last in battle, and can be bought in one of the Wirelss shops)and when someone else has the Hermes Sandals equipped (which make the weareract first in battle, and can also be bought in one of the Wirelss shops). Thisway no enemy can attack you after you use it, and then another member canattack (preferably all of the enemies with an ability or something) right awaythe next turn. Anyway, the Shaman is an excellent Crown and is a great choicein almost any situation!NOTE: Intellect DOES affect the power of Dark Magic.

/\/\/()\/\|\/() ()\/||*DARK FENCER|o------------o

Deal extra damage when using a sword!

Requirements: Beat Satan in the Magic Laboratory under Horne.

~ABILITIES~

Darkside - 1 AP---Sacrifice some of your own HP to deal heavy damage to a foe.

Darker Side - 2 AP---Sacrifice some of your own HP to deal heavy damage to all foes.

Eye for an Eye - 3 AP---Make your attacks stronger as your HP falls.

Amok - 5 AP


25/28

---Unleash Darkside repeatedly until all your HP is consumed.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * *~~~~~~

Another really awesomely designed Crown. I love that it's black and has thosehorns; it just makes it look so much more "srs bns" XD Anyway, it's reallycool and a great design!

-----------|Performance: * * * * *-----------

The Dark Fencer is all about being the best physical Crown! It's innateability gives it a bonus when it wields swords, and it has higher strengththan any other Crown! Basically, this crown is the shiz. Against boss battlesthis Crown is a must! Darker Side is probably the Dark Fencer's best ability,and, as long as you heal after every battle with a White Mage, it's totallyspammable. It's also best used with a pair of Hermes Sandals equipped, becausethen the enemies won't get a chance to attack, and your White Mage will beable to heal your Dark Fencer, guaranteed! So yeah, this is one of the few

"near-end-of-game" rewards that are actually really good. Use it!

/\|\/\/{}\/\/||SEAMSTRESS|o----------o

Attack with greater power when equipped with a needle!

Requirements: Earn 20,000 G in one session of selling at the counter in theUrbeth Weapon shop. This means that you'll have to use all three 5,000 & 1,000G price tags and four 500 price tags, and sell EVERYTHING. This can be hard to

do, but what I did was wait until the Urbeth folk were into buying spell booksand bought spells that matched the price I sold them for. That made it A LOTeasier because the lower your selling price is compared to the normal sellingprice, the more likely people will buy that item. So you could just buyextremely expensive things and sell them, but if you're cheap like me then youwon't want to do that! XD

~ABILITIES~

Patched Up - 2 AP---Patch all your non-upgraded armor together for better protection.----What this does is use one non-upgraded armor in the user's inventory, andraises defense. You don't get the armor back after battle, either.

Stiched UP - 2 AP---Patch all your non-upgraded weapons together for a stronger attack.----Just like Patched Up except with a weapon.

Refurbish - 2 AP---Bring one ally back to life.

Sew Together - 4 AP---Sew yourself and an ally together to combine your status levels.


26/28

*It's like when Jellies use Merge and combines themselves. That's what thisability does.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * . .~~~~~~

Um, it's okay. I get that it's supposed to be, like, a pin cushion, but theneedles look flat. It's a weird, unappealing design, but it's not the worst.So yeah.

-----------|Performance: * . . . .-----------

What is the point of this job? Is there even any weapons that fit the "needle"category? Maybe there is at, like, the very end of the game after you beat oneof the towers, but still, this job is more detrimental than useful. It's oneof the jobs that relies on items for heavy damage, but the thing with this jobis that it's not self-sustainable like the Alchemist and Salve-maker are. Itcosts equipment to use the attacks, and they're not even good. I mean, if youwant a defense boost then use a Bard, and if you want to do damage then use

ANY OTHER CROWN. The only redeeming quality about this job is Refurbish. But,honestly, it's better to just use Raise with a White Mage because of how easyit is to get Cursed. Just carry an Echo Herb or two with you to take care ofit. Anyway, this job is useless. Don't bother.

/\/\/()\/\

|\/() ()\/||*BEASTMASTER|o------------o

Make your allies stronger when in animal form!

Requirements: Get a score of 273 or higher in one round of playing the mathgame at Invida (that's just the score I got. It's probably, like, over 250 orsomething). This is pretty much just based on luck, so good luck! x3

~ABILITIES~

Sic - 1 AP---Make a captured monster attack the enemy.

Capture - 1 AP---Capture a monster. Weakened monsters are easier to catch.

Gentle - 2 AP---Attack a foe without killing it.

Command - 2 AP---Make all party members in animal form attack the enemy.

Turncoat - 4 AP---Make a captured monster attack its own allies.----This just attacks with the captured monster with a lot more power. The


27/28

captured monster is then set free, though.

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * *~~~~~~

This job is pretty awesome looking. It actually really goes well with itspersona, and it's really cool! I don't see how it could be any better, so yeahc:

-----------|Performance: * * * * .-----------

This job is a really great reincarnation of the Beastmaster. It lets youcapture a monster and then use it /repeatedly/ to attack the enemy. I haven'ttried out every monster (obviously), but thre are some that have some prettygood abilities, so yeah, this job can probably be pretty cool. And Gentle isan awesome skill. It's really hard to know when an enemy is at low health,and, since damage can be so random, this ability is virtually necessary to getthe enemy down to low enough health. Also, Command is a cool ability, and, ifyou like having your party in their cute animal forms, it can be another

reason to keep then that way c: So yeah, this job is pretty good, and Irecommend getting it as early as possible!

/\/\/()\/\|MUSICIAN|o--------o

Enjoy enhanced stats when in the presence of a bard!

Requirements: Buy the Music Score for 2,500 points in Liberte's wireless shop.

It's not necessary to do any actual wireless activities, and by the end of thegame before the final boss I had over 10,000 points, so it shouldn't take/that/ long. By the way, the more battles you participate in the more pointsyou get -- for each battle you get 5 points. Yeah, it DOES take forever to getmore points, so don't waste them! Save them for the armor because they'rereally useful at the end of the game, even though they seem like crap when youfirst see them. Anyway, that's a whole different discussion xD

~ABILITIES~

Serenade - 2 AP---Grant Regen to your party for 3 turns.

Nocturne - 2 AP---Raise your party's magic attack power for 3 turns.

March - 3 AP---Increase your party's movement speed for 3 turns.

Oratorio - 5 AP---Grant your party Regen. Boost attack, magic attack, and speed for 5 turns.----Regen also only lasts 5 turns, just to clarify.


28/28

~~~~~~{Design: * * * * .~~~~~~

This Crown's design is pretty cute. It's a stylish hat, and it's definitelyone of the better ones.

-----------|Performance: * * * . .-----------

This Crown doesn't seem useful at first, but, in actuality, it's pretty good.Regen is an EXCELLENT status in this game, and, if you don't feel like usingLux, it's a good choice. Also, if you actually need more magic power, thenNocturne is a good ability. Overall this job is decent. You can use it if youwant.

* = These Crown names have a * by them because they were an odd number ofletters, thus making me need to put a character there to fill that space. Itried making an odd-character crown, but it just didn't look as good. So yeah,

dur it be.
