Monk

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
=Job Overview=
:With their bodies that double as deadly weapons, Monks (MNK) attack enemies with explosive strength. As one of the six standard jobs, Monk can be chosen by players at the very start of the game. Monk is designed as a Hand-to-Hand weapon specialist, and is capable of wreaking havoc with fast and furious punches. Preserving Final Fantasy tradition, Monk retains many classic abilities including Martial Arts, Chakra, Max HP Boost, and Counter. Complete with a full set of powerful weapon skills, Monks are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Players starting the game as a Monk receive a White Belt.
