    It's more of a legacy thing, the gimmick of Onion Knight is that it has *dogwater* stats from level 1-89, then starting with level 90 and up, its stats start to massively spike, giving it perfect maxed stats at level 99, it's an example of Magikarp Power that is older than Magikarp itself, it goes a step further in the 3D version, where Onion Knight is a secret job and thus given more tools, including full access to White and Black magic.

    People had good experiences with Onion Knight, thus they want Onion Knight in the FF MMO, that's it.

    Not exactly, while Onion Knight is the starting Job in the Famicon and Pixel Remaster versions, in the 3D version Onion Knight is a secret Job, owning to its legacy in original FFIII, Freelance is in turn to fill the role of "starting job" in place of Onion Knight, and unlike original Onion Knight, Freelance is given no special characteristics.

    Onion Knight also had a FF3 representative for the old FF: Dissidia games:



    He was a child genius strategist with, at first, a pretty arrogant personality. But was eventually humbled after, becoming Terra, the main protagonist of FF6's protector. His fighting style revolved around throwing out a quick flurry of sword attacks from his small blade and bombarding opponents with powerful magic attacks.

    It's something that outright can't work in an MMO.

    In the original ff3 it was basically a nothing job but you could get gear that is onion knight specific making it ludicrously strong through gear alone

    FF5 had a similar thing in freelancer that basically inherited all the traits of any job that was maxed out on that character.

    Then the ff3 remake kind of did the ffv freelancer thing with onion knight making it kind of an absurdly powerful job that served no use once you had it powered up

    So I guess long story short it would be an ultimate job that you would never use anything else if you max every job
