The Bangaa Race
The Final Fantasy Tactics Sequels Restrict The Warrior Class To A Single Race

These titles let players control the bangaa race, who can take the role of a warrior in stride. Players will love using the power of this race to smash enemies to pieces in tough and rewarding tactical encounters time and time again.

This means that every character in Final Fantasy 3 can potentially become a strong warrior as they master this job class. While players will gain access to better classes as the game progresses, the Warrior is pretty reliable and can save a player’s hide in tough encounters time and time again.

A riveting character in Final Fantasy 14 that players love to interact with, Ardbert Hylfyst initially appears as an antagonist who stands in the player’s way. However, after seeing the light, he joins the heroic cause and serves as the narrator of Final Fantasy 14: Shadowbringers.
The leader of the Warriors of Darkness is constantly angry and reckless, but that just adds to his charm. He doesn’t understand the relentless optimism of the Warriors of Light, but eventually understands his purpose during Shadowbringers.

Paine
Starts With The Warrior Dressphere As Her Default Class

When players start Final Fantasy 10-2, one of the first things they’ll notice (aside from a peppy opening completely unlike the melancholic tone of the predecessor) is the addition of a new playable character. Paine is as edgy as one would expect, almost feeling like a female Auron with the way she acts and talks.
The warrior dressphere is her default class, making it clear how Square Enix wanted her to be perceived. With this dressphere, Paine can smash enemies to bits while staying true to her character.

Tidus
Doubles As Both A Warrior And A Time Mage
- Released
-
December 17, 2001
- ESRB
-
T for Teen: Mild Blood, Mild Suggestive Themes, Violence
Tidus fits the definition of a warrior in the loosest sense, but fans can’t deny that the sequel uses his animations for the warrior dressphere to make these parallels more evident. While his damage pales to Auron’s, Tidus makes up for this in other departments.
He has access to several unique abilities that channel Time Magic to manipulate the Conditional Turn-Based battle system. Quick Hits and Hastega can turn the tide of battle in a flash as enemies don’t have any time to react to the party’s relentless assault.
