High HP and High Attack
Literally doesnt need weapons so you save money
Sometimes they can even cast healing magic
Usually the coolest bros (Sabin, Yang) or the hottest chicks (Tifa)

Literally no class can even compete with them

Dragoon is overrated. "Oh look at me. I'm a scared little bitch with a stick. I need to hop away from these scary dudes."

Monk is almost always an early-game powerhouse that has no lasting power into lategame. Don't think it's all that cool, though.

Summoner is usually the opposite, generally being weak early and an absolute monster late.

Another trope is the "mix two items" classes/abilities which are almost always broken as all hell.

Some games give them weapons (FF7, FF4) But others have them benefit without weapons (FF1, FF5)

The four protectors fired 41 shots, hitting him 19 times.
Searching the body, there were no weapons found. He lies with those who died in vain.

The Stormblood outfit is pretty good tbh. The rest, I agree with. I used to main Monk but switched to Gunbreaker because they changed Monk too much. Its 'fine' now but it was hard for me to get used to.

I feel like when monk shines it REALLY shines but usually it just kind of sucks. I don't really remember the monks before FF4 so I am starting there

FF4: Monk sucks, one of the worst chars in the game
FF5: Monk is pretty good early, but falls off hard
FF6: Same as above tbh, good early, falls of hard
FF7: Pretty much always sucks
FF8: Monk is finally the best in the game, and pretty indisputably so
FF9: Monk sadly took a fall here and is back down to one of the worst
FF10: There isn't really a monk in this game
FF12: Monk is definitely a top tier class here
FFT: A very strong class, but in a game with a lot of very strong classes. Still a rare case of a monk being an absolute powerhouse early without falling off like a brick later in the game

Monk is really good in FF1. idk about 2 and 3.

And yeah, Zell's limit break is super busted

I never understood Square's treatment of Monks in Final Fantasy. They keep selling you equipment and act as if it's this high leveled gear, but you always do damage by running naked. Was this supposed to be a hidden cheat code for people who were unaware?
