The Hero is the most powerful | The Hero is the most powerful profession, bar none. A savior in times of strife, the Hero is able to turn the tide of battle and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat through their legendary durability and awe-inspiring skills. The Hero has near exclusive access to the incredibly powerful lightning abilities that scant few monsters can resist, though these spells and skills are offset by hefty MP costs. In ''III'' and the 3DS remake of ''VII'' the Hero will also be able to cast [[Omniheal]], effectively giving the entire party a second wind and preventing a disastrous wipeout. Kaclang is also associated with the vocation, rendering the party immune to all forms of damage for a handful of turns and allowing players to observe a foe's capabilities while watching them waste MP. | ||
The sole draw back of the vocation is it's scarcity, being reserved for only the player in ''III'' and having steep requisites to unlock in ''VI'' & ''VII''. In the latter two games the Hero is already equipped with a wide variety of abilities to fulfill any role required of them thanks to the necessity of mastering several lesser vocations. | |||

The Hero class draws on the power of heroes past in order to save the world. The Hero | The Hero class draws on the power of heroes past in order to save the world. The Hero is the most balanced advanced vocation, lacking the specialist nature of [[Champion]]s and [[Druid]]s but also being able to handle a wider variety of situations. This is especially true in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, where the vocation learns every major attack spell, support spell, every elemental slash, and enough situational abilities to disable any group of foes. | ||
The player can also obtain a Hero Heart from defeating [[Numen|The Almighty]] in 19 turns or less, though unlike Monster Hearts (or other Monster Vocations), the skills learned from mastering the Hero Heart do not transfer to other vocations. | In order to become a Hero, one must master three intermediate classes or two intermediate classes and an advanced class. This steep time investment applies to all characters, even the {{Hero 7}}, who does not get a shortcut as the Hero of ''VI'' did. The player can also obtain a Hero Heart from defeating [[Numen|The Almighty]] in 19 turns or less, though unlike Monster Hearts (or other Monster Vocations), the skills learned from mastering the Hero Heart do not transfer to other vocations. | ||
