I'm currently building a campaign world that has some Final Fantasy aspects (don't scorn if you don't think that FF should be in D&D) in it, and I'm wondering if anybody has done some FF classes.
Thanks in advance.

there's a blue mage kicking around somewhere, and niveus lynx has done a ton of work for FFVIII, and also there is a holy knight PrC from FFT.

specifically, here are some links:

FF Magic (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=432561)
FF Weapons/Armor (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=430537)

i see you've already found the blue mage class, so i'll leave that one out...

and i don't feel like looking for the FFT holy knight class, but it's around somewhere (i haven't got it subscribed, sorry).

on another note, it might also be a good idea to check out the video game boards, as those are likely to have some conversions for you as well.

missed an I in FFVIII ;)

I would go for the final fantasy tactics classes. Most of them are straightforward and a lot of the regular core classes can be ported over with only a little work to fill some of the classes there. For the rest it should be pretty easy to turn them into D&D classes.

Lancer(or Dragoon) class build (http://www.wizards.com/leaving.asp?url=http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5436939&postcount=104&origin=)
This is a build, not a new class, so all official stuff. Good stuff too.

No classes for you, but I do have an idea that would nicely cover the Materia idea of FF7.

Specifically, each one has a specific, kind acustom feat built into it. You can't take these feats normally; instead, you wear the materia object (as an amulet, maybe). While wearing it, 10% of any XP you earn gets siphoned off into the materia; when it reaches some predetermined total, the ability wihtinit is learned, permanently, as a bonus feat by the person who's been wearing it.

Best if the XP totals are tracked by player, rather than just a single total in any given materia.

It needs a LOT of work, but it might prov worth the effort, since IMO it would definitely model a very FF-esque element, threby supporting the FF "feel" of your game. ^_^
