The one thing I disagree with is Freelancer not being S-Tier because of 2 details you overlooked: 1) Most Jobs give Freelancer and Mime their Innate Passive for free once mastered. Monk gives Counter and Barehanded, Knight gives Cover, Thief gives Find Passages, Sprint, Vigilance, and Artful Dodger, Blue Mage gives Learning, Mystic Knight gives Magic Shell, Geomancer gives Find Pit and Light Step, Ninja gives First Strike and Dual-Wield, Samurai gives Shirahadori, and Chemist gives Pharmacology. 2) Freelancer and Mime has it's own Stat Modifiers overwritten by the highest ones among the Jobs you've mastered, for context this means that if you master Monk (Strength and Vitality), Thief (Agility), and Summoner (Magic), then Freelancer will have the highest stats in every category among Jobs Incidentally this means that the trade-off between Mime and Freelancer is the fact that Mimes have Mimic and an extra Ability Slot, while Freelancers have Equip Any Item innately.

Time Mage deserves more respect. Hasteaga and Meteor respectively make your entire party twice as effective and out-damages most mages. And you have no idea how many times casting Return changed a doomed back attack situation into a normal battle where everything worked out fine. Quick is a free dualcast without using an ability slot. Plus a freelancer with the Masamune and time magic is the best opening move against Omega.

Freelancer should be S tier. The freelancer learns EVERY passive ability for each job you mastered. The only exceptions are that the passives for stat increases don't stack and even then they still have the best stats regardless. There's a reason why in Dissdia Bartz's EX Mode is a freelancer with all jobs mastered and his EX Burst is Rapid Fire Duel Wielded Duel Cast Flare Spellblade. It's canonically broken 😄

You're pretty much spot on with two exceptions, but in fairness I only discovered these after several play throughs trying different builds because I love this game so much! Geomancer is solid B tier. Gaia replaces Attack for casters and is especially great for giving your White Mage solid offensive power. It's 0 MP and can out damage physical attackers well into mid game. The randomness is its only weakness but it only has a few weak attacks and several very strong ones. Dancer is also A if you know to steal the Lamia's Tiara from the Ronka Ruins. This will cause the Dancer to use Sword Dance 50% of the time and stop it from using its weakest move. Great with Dual Wield for 2 attacks at 4x damage on each attack. You'll hit the 9999 damage cap earlier than any other job.

I want to like the Blue Mage more, but their need to let the enemy hit them with their special abilities has always made them the most frustrating class in the franchise for me. That is until I learned that you can use the Beastmaster's CONTROL ability to cheese the system. Unfortunately, almost every Blue Magic I've obtained so far in FF5 reduces the enemy's Level or HP by a certain percentage, which obviously the bosses are immune to.

Quick note on jobs, Dancer is unreal with a Lamias Tiara. Imo, Blue Mage would be S Tier with Freelancer, Ninja and Mime. Samurai and Ranger would be A. Beast tamer should be bottom of the list, its only function for me is Control for Blue Magic skills. I could go on all day so I will stop now. Great video.

you're not really realizing the full potential of the mime. since mime has three ability slots, you can give it dual casting, summoning magic and black magic. what this combination allows you to do is to cast reflect on your whole party AND cast a powerful multi target black magic spell on your parts right after. since spread casting black magic cuts its power in half, but you're reflecting it four times, you're easily doubling your damage output like this.

I know this is old but I do feel for a game like FFV requires two lists. Unlike FF3 where you are locked into a job and its abilities, FFV does allow to to mix and match your jobs. I see your list is about actively playing that class as your main class but the list doesnt show the true power of each job as some are 100% better as supplement jobs. For example Red Mage is complete hot lettuce is you are playing Red Mage, so D makes sense when playing the class. However, dualcast, the ability is uber busted so as a suppliment class, just based off its abilities and not actually playing it, easily puts it as S teir. So, I do think another list is in order. With that being said, I just love this game is getting attention. V and VI gets outcasted by VII all the time and im glad to see it getting the attention it deserves as the beautiful masterpiece it is.

I personally have multiple lists. "Jobs for a normal playthrough" "Jobs you only use for an ability" (red mage, ranger) "Jobs that you'd only use with a walkthrough" (blue mage, beastmaster, chemist, et cetera) Because casually blue mage is F tier. You can't buy the spells and if you don't already know what spells you can get, and how to get them (it's not very intuitive) I think most players dump it really early. Especially since most of the spells are really bad, only a few are useful. But when you have a walkthrough you can use blue mage to break the game and it becomes S tier. It's right beside Chemist for a real min/max job.

You pull that class out on someone at the right time or place and you're basically trivializing a lot of potentially annoying encounters. I'd give it a single tier up and no more since being permanently berserked is still a pretty major downside, but not a downside without a pretty solid upside to go with it. I know while going through the game, keeping at least one character as a berserker has made a lot of battles, bosses and otherwise so much easier.

For the entirety of world 1 red mage is OP.

Then by the time you want to switch to other caster classes you have dualcast.

So freelance as A when it class that Weakest Job at start to strongest alongside Mime(this one pick thre abilities since unequip default attack command. ) Redmage, Black Mage, and Time Mage are low for Rod breaking classes go. Classes that can use Rod which mean get town of Fire Crystal you have access at cost destroying the Fire,ice,or thunder Rod Firaga,Blizzaga, and Thundaga which breaks the game so hard for put anything lower than C. Red Mage beyond Rod Breaker is just class boost other Mage Classes with Dual cast. Time Mage float avoid lava and spikes trap if not use Geomancer inate,Haste and Hastega,Teleport situational, Slow and Stop are good but few enemies immune, then Meteor. Black Mage play element weakness abuse it can be do lot damage but on blind that require Scan or Libra really utilize or if know tropes of typical weakness like Reptile weak to ice, Undead weak to Fire, Fire Monster Weak Ice and Ice monster weak Fire, sea life Monster weak to Thunder. But yeah good vid few for first impression style and trying everyclass where you end up where you did. Cause dont expect Frelancer Spellblade flare or if know elemental weakness Dual weild BraveSword and Excalibur and Rapid Fire doing 3000x8 or Elemental weaknesses can make 5000×8 or Dualcasting Mimes with Time magic and White magic or Summon to Hastega and Bahumut or Holy.

Thats the entire reason why Mime is top tier, because you get to cast multiple spells with 0 MP cost for that character. Mime would only be a high tier job class if that wasnt the case and Normal would be Top tier in that case. Black Mage being able to Psych and absorb MP is super strong too because it allows for faster EXP grinding and allows you to heal up and save MP without having to use tent, cabin, or waste time going to an Inn. Its a super valuable high tier class.

I mostly agree but absolutely don't on some xD Freelancer is mental good at the end with all the passive abilities, definite S tier. Also I disagree with your treatment of Monk, they get two attacks, have the highest attack in the game (which when mastered carries over to the freelancer's stats), and you can then give barehanded to any class (Black Mage with two attacks and the same hitting power as the highest attack class in the game, why not?). Time Mage isn't the best but hasteaga, float, teleport, return are too useful for it to be F! But mostly spot on I think.

Monk is bad damage for normal battles after world 1, but for boss/long battles you can Mix items to raise their level which is insane because their damage is based on level squared vs level * weapon since they don't have a weapon.

this tierlist is trash lol. time mage bad? meteor is not good? redmage bad? hello DUAL CASTING? black mage bad? he is kinda mid but the +30% saves you some turns and flare is good. Berserker is amazing when you get it you can steamroll autobattle everything at that point just by berserking. Knight is absolutely amazing it learns Two-Handing which is a +50% to the weapon damage.

@@GenesisVII I didn't I watched almost the entire thing, I tried to be fair. Red Mage & Knight are not S tier but they are A+ they are absolutely essential if you want to min max damage either as a spell caster or a sword two-hander hard hitter. Those 2 are jobs that should be mastered.

Knight, Time Mage, and Black Mage need to be higher up. Knight is such a physical tank with the greatswords at their disposal, and many physical only bosses can be thwarted with three critical characters and a Knight using Protect. Both Black and Time mages can break Rods, and so deserve at least high C or low B tier. Time in particular as quick plus Hastega and Slowga makes for a great opening play.

I can't believe you put Monks and Knights in the same tier. When you master a class and switch to the Freelancer, the freelancer inherets the Strength, Vitality, Agility, Magic. The Monk has the highest Strength and Vitality, and Vitality determines your max HP. Masting Knight just allows you to Cover, which is just fine. In addition, barehanded has the highest melee damage output for huge chunks of the game.
