As for as weakest lore wise, I'd imagine it'd be either monk or bard. In the case of bard, they are lore wise not fighters by trade, simply empowering the people around them to make up for their own martial deficiency.

Monks are weak because they have to smack the mob like 6 times to have any effect.
Actually, if we're only going by a pure lore and cutscene standpoint Monks are one of the more powerful classes. A Monk using all 14 Chakra easily reaches god-tier status. I still think one of the magic classes like WHM, BLM, and SMN are likely more powerful, but besides maybe Ninja (I'm not too familiar with them, but it's my understanding that a Ninja using Mudra is a lot like Monk using Chakra), Monk is hands down the strongest of the physical-based classes.
