Paladin

After reaching a certain point in the story, Cecil begins again as a level 1 paladin, a fighter class with limited White Magic. This class starts strong, can use basic White Magic, and retains the strong offense and defense of the dark knight. His chief weakness is his limits as a magic user and his incompatibility with any of his old equipment.

• Main weapons: Holy Swords, Swords, Shields
• Other weapons: Axes, Bows, Daggers, and specific Staves
• Armor: Hats, Helms, Clothes, Robes, Plates, Gloves, Rings
• Magic: White
• Abilities: Cover: Protects a given party member, taking damage in their place. Activates automatically if a party member is low on health. When taking damage this way, it is calculated as if Cecil is in their row, so less damage is taken when Covering members in the back row. This ability will fail either way when Cecil's health is low.

• Other weapons: Swords, Axes, Daggers
• Armor: Hats, Helms, Clothes, Plates, Gloves, Rings

Rydia

Rydia is a callersummonersummoner from Myst. Out of fear from seeing her mother and village destroyed, she causes a massive earthquake, but becomes friendly once Cecil defends her from Baron guards. In the early game, she is a novice mage who can use both White and Black Magic. Later, she drops the White Magic for a powerful array of summons, and gains stronger Black Magic as well. Her chief weakness is her lack of any physical potential.

In the 3D versions of the game, Rydia will rejoin the party at level 30 if her level as a child was lower, otherwise she will rejoin at the level she left at.

• Main weapons: Rods, Whips (Only as an adult)

Tellah

Tellah is a sage who is capable of using most black and white magic spells. He also starts out with a fair amount of power, already being a very experienced fighter. However, due to his age, his Strength and Vitality and Stamina, Speed, and Stamina will decrease and he will gain no MP as he levels up, which is not very often. Additionally, in the 2D versions, his Intellect and Spirit don't start increasing until level 40.

After the events at Mt. Ordeals he gains access to Meteor, but because he doesn't gain any MP as he levels up, he is never able to use it, unless the player uses a Soma Drop on him to increase his MP by 50.

Yang

As a monk, Yang has high HP and physical attributes. His regular attacks are strong, and his abilities only emphasize this fact. His chief weakness is his inability to use heavy equipment or any weapons that directly increase his power. Despite this, he is a capable physical fighter, albeit one that may require stronger items than Cecil. In all versions, his Intellect and Stamina never increase.

There is a bug concerning Yang's HP Growth in the SNES, and original Japanese and North American GBA versions, where his HP stops increasing at level 60. This was fixed in the European and the re-released Japanese GBA versions.

Being a monk, Yang cannot equip true weapons, only claws that can add elements or status effects to his attacks. Instead, his attack power is calculated using the following formula:$floor(Strength/4+2(Level+1))$

• Main weapons: Claws
• Other weapons: None
• Armor: Hats, Clothes, Armlets, Rings
• Magic: none
• Abilities:
  • PowerFocusFocus: Skips attacking until next turn and releases a double-strength attackreleases a double-strength attackincreases the damage of his next Attack or Kick, stacking up to three times. This is useful for enemies that counter when attacked, or for enemies with high defense. (Unavailable in the North American SNES release named Final Fantasy II')
  • Kick: Hits all enemies at once for slightly less damage than a regular attack, using the elements and status effects of his claws.
  • GirdBraceBrace: Reduces physical damage more than a regular Defend. (Unavailable in the North American SNES release named Final Fantasy II)

Fusoya

Protector of the Lunarians, and brother to Kluya, the father of Cecil and Golbez, Fusoya is a sage, but is a mixed bag, even by the game's standards. On one hand, he has access to every White and Black magic spell in the game right away, well before any other characters are likely to have mastered even one of those categories. On the other hand, his attributes are unremarkable and, like Tellah, his MP is limited.

When levelling up, he will not gain any increases in stats besides HP besides HP until level 70.

• Main weapons: Staves, Rods
• Other weapons: Bows
• Armor: Hats, Clothes, Robes, Armlets, Rings
