Gadgeteer

Gadgeteer is a job from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance available to moogles. Gadgeteers rely on the tricks held within Pandora's Box, learned by knuckles, for their special abilities. There is a catch: the Pandora action ability may affect all members of the player's team or the enemy team.
Which side is affected is determined by the coin that comes out of the Gadgeteer's box. If the coin's face is a sun, the ability will affect the player's team. If the coin face is a crescent moon, the ability will affect the opposition. To guard against hurting one's own allies, using equipment that blocks ailments is advisable, among them the very useful Angel Ring, which nulls Darkness, Poison, and Doom, three out of four offensive Pandora abilities.
==Growth==
Gadgeteer is the most defensive moogle job. Its Defense stat ties with the Mog Knight for second among moogle jobs, its Attack stat ties with Juggler for second among moogle jobs, and its Resistance ties with the nu mou Black Mage for highest Resistance among all jobs. It also ties with the Animist for highest HP in a moogle job, making it the ideal tanking job for moogles. However, its Magic Power and Speed, while not horrible, leave something to be desired. Overall, Gadgeteer has the highest stat total of all moogle jobs.

== Overview ==
Gadgeteers are inconsistent, able to single-handedly determine the outcome of a battle. Their stats are excellent with good defense and resistance. Gadgeteers are deceptively potent front-line fighters with unreliable global utility. This job requires planning immunities and advantages in advance and not a small amount of luck.
Enemy Gadgeteers can be annoying and it is best to dispatch them before they start infecting the battlefield with their wacky status effects. A free win on a mission is genuinely worth less than a sudden and unlucky loss.

==Trivia==
*The Gadgeteer's Pandora's box item alludes to the Greek myth of the same name, where the first woman, Pandora, opened a container (actually a large jar) that released all the evils of the world.
