	Games - Warrior

Warrior (From Middle English, from Old North French, to make war) is a character class (or job) found in many computer role-playing games, most notably in Square Enix's Final Fantasy
series. It is often also referred to as Fighter. It is closely associated with the Knight (ナイト) class: in some games, the Knight is an upgraded form for the Warrior job, while in other games, the two classes are synonymous.

The Warrior is portrayed as a skilled swordsman who can make use of some of the most powerful heavy armors and weaponry in the game. As such, it is a well-rounded physical combatant with both high attack and defense statistics. In some games, the Knight is able to learn basic white magic, but since it typically has a low magic rating and an extremely limited repertoire of spells, its capabilities in this field are somewhat limited. Because of its reliance on heavy plate armor and broadswords, the cost of managing the Warrior's equipment typically makes it among the most expensive classes in the series. But its sheer attack power nevertheless makes it an almost essential addition to any team.

Warriors appear in many online roleplaying games including (but not limited to) EverQuest, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft and Lineage II. In Dungeons & Dragons and its related spin-off works, warrior characters are represented by Fighters, Paladins and Rangers.

Warriors in the Final Fantasy

The Warrior and/or Knight has appeared in the following games in the Final Fantasy series:

Final Fantasy (Warrior and Knight)
Final Fantasy III (Fighter and Knight)
Final Fantasy V (Knight)
Final Fantasy X-2 (Warrior)
Final Fantasy Tactics (Squire and Knight)
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (Soldier, Warrior and Fighter)
Final Fantasy XI (Warrior)

The Warrior can be reasonably described as one of the most basic character archetypes in the Final Fantasy series. As a result, there are numerous characters who have appeared throughout the history of the franchise that can be considered roughly analogous to the Fighter. Some of these characters include Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy IV), Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII), Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII), Adelbert Steiner (Final Fantasy IX) and Auron (Final Fantasy X), although Auron is also associated with Samurai (character class)
.

Fighters in Dungeons & Dragons

In Dungeons & Dragons
and many D&D-derived games, the fighter is a versatile, weapons-oriented warrior class. The fighter is an adept warrior who fights using skill, strategy and tactics. Similar character classes are the paladin, ranger, barbarian and cavalier.

Fighter was one of the three classes in the original D&D game, then called "Fighting Man" (the other two were Magic User and Cleric). In the anime Record of Lodoss War (Lodoss to Senki), the character Parn is a Fighter who later becomes a paladin.

In the 3rd edition of the D&D game, Fighters get bonus Feats at every even-numbered level, giving a 20th level fighter more feats than any other character class of equivalent levels.
