Thief is a job shared by Humans and Moogles. They can use abilities like Steal:Armor and Steal:Weapon to not only make their opponents weaker, but also to get rare items! Be sure to send out a thief if you want any of your opponent's gear, just know that you can't steal from knocked-out units and that you can't steal shoes.
