Descendants of the dauntless pirates that once scourged the seas of the Near East, Corsairs rely on the "Hexagun" (a multi-barreled handgun) and elaborate luck-based abilities to alter the stakes of battle.

Corsairs use Job Abilities known as a Phantom Roll to give their party members an edge in battle. Refresh, Attack Bonus, and Store TP bonus are a few of the many ways that Corsairs can buff their parties, along with several other unique buffs.

Phantom Rolls

Main article: Phantom Roll
Phantom Roll is the core ability of a Corsair. Each roll effect puts a beneficial effect on party members in range, the potency of which is determined by the strength of the roll itself. Each roll further gains potency by having a party member (or Trust) who corresponds to the job represented by the roll (e.g. Ninja in party for Ninja Roll). Each roll has a "Lucky" and "Unlucky" number the represents the natural highest or lowest potency of each effect. An 11 is always the highest base potency of a Roll effect.

• Party members who are higher level than the Corsair receive reduced potency and duration from Phantom Roll effects.
• Rolls from a Corsair support job function at half potency.

Derivations

Corsairs were French privateers from the north-western French port of Saint-Malo, located on the northern coast of Brittany. Since the corsairs gained a swashbuckling reputation, the word corsair is also used generically as a more romantic or flamboyant version of the word privateer, or even of the word pirate. The Barbary Pirates of North Africa were sometimes called "Turkish corsairs".

The name "corsair" derives from the commissioning document received from the king, the Lettre de Course ("racing letter" or "racing commission"). The "race", la course, was a euphemism for chasing down foreign merchant shipping. The Lettre de Course was known in other countries as a letter of marque and reprisal (in French Lettre de Marque); the French often preferred the different term of Lettre de Course but the document was the same in substance.
