9. Onion Knights - Final Fantasy III
The Onion Knight class is a bit of a running joke in the Final Fantasy series. It's the pinnacle of a zero-to-hero story, as the class starts off with some of the worst stats within each particular Final Fantasy title and becomes the strongest fighter in your squad once it reaches its max level.
This is best evidenced by the original Onion Knight from Final Fantasy III. The knight's starting stats are simply terrible, and unlike the other classes in the game, levelling up the onion knight increases them only marginally.
Your Onion Knight will stay a pushover and the laughingstock of your party for pretty much the entire duration of the game, begging the question of why you'd keep them around.
Well, once the Onion Knight reaches the final level, all of its miniscule stats suddenly go up to 99, the highest possible value that no other class can reach themselves.
A max-level Onion Knight can defeat most end-game bosses solo, which might just make having to put up with them for most of the game worth it.
