FF because I'm a sucker for class systems and the FF classes all look cool. Only DQ3 let you see your classes, otherwise your character just looked normal, plus you could never see them in battle so I couldn't appreciate them anyway.

It's unfortunate FF3 screwed the pooch on its classes, since it really had a lot of potential. And what I mean is that so many were just upgraded forms of already existing classes that they hardly felt new at all. You got so many but half were really just duplicates.

Plus that scholar class, my god. It's too bad because I like his concept - like he can use knowledge to de-code enemy weaknesses, but with his stats and lack of any other skills he is literally useless. I think FF5 is the pinnacle of the series but even it couldn't find a way to build a decent scholar.
