Talk:Kirin

Black Mage
Job Question.

I know Kirin uses Astral Flow, but does he use Manafont? Usually when a monster uses a 2-Hour, that is considered their defining Job.

Many monsters use elemental spells, such as Element IV & Elementga III at higher levels, and not all of them are Black Mages. If Kirin does not use Manafont or other defining BLM abilities, this is something that should be discussed or else BLM is going to crop up on the list of jobs for almost every higher level monster. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 14:48, 3 April 2006 (PDT)

This is ridiculous, the spells he casts unmistakably makes him a Black Mage, it is possible for a mob to be more than one job, and Kirin is one of them. -- 07:59, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

If he was a Black mage he would manafont, wouldn't he?

Not all BLM mobs use Manafont -- 09:25, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

But all BLM HNM/Gods do don't they?

Not necessarily, 2hrs do not have to be present to define a mob's job. -- 10:59, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

As far as I see it: Genbu uses Invincible, but casts Flood and Waterga III, but he's only a Paladin. Suzaku uses Chainspell, but also casts Flare and Firaga III, but he's only a Red Mage. Byakko uses Perfect Dodge, but also casts Holy and Banishga III, but he's only a Thief. Seiryu uses Hundred Fists, but also casts Tornado and Aeroga III, but she's only a Monk. So then why would Kirin, who uses Astral Flow, but then also casts Quake and Stonega IV be any different from the other four. The other four cast BLM-defining magic, but their only listed job is that of the job two-hour they use. The way I see it, Kirin's job should reman as just Summoner, or the other four lesser gods should have Black Mage added. --Mitsukai-Hawke 01:12, 24 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Kirin is a Summoner. (Guys don't forget that Mobs can have sub jobs too) That's besides the point and doesn't really matter in the long run anyway. Look at Absolute Virtue. AV can use every 2 HR in the game, but is a DRG. 2 hrs don't necessarily define the mobs job. Oh, and to answer the question if Kirin can use manafont, No.
