The art in Final Fantasy has always been my favorite. I haven’t even played in years but I still follow a bunch of their artists. Yoshitaka Amano, Akihiko Yoshida, on and on
FF really getting the mileage out of yoshis, huh?
I AM THE BLACK MAGE! I CASTS THE SPELLS THAT MAKES THE PEOPLES FALL DOWN!
I like swords.
It is truly a great style.

Where’s my boy Green Mage?
I’m sorry, seems that it’s not his time
First was Orko from He-Man.
They’re not wizards, but did Jawas from Star Wars establish the aesthetic?
Seems like Jawas were the first in ~1977. The fandom wiki says that LucasArts sued Neil Young for having Jawa-like creatures on stage in 1978.

Marvin the Martian beat that by almost 30 years.
Jawas didn’t wear the wizard hat. Same reason Marvin doesn’t fit.
Looking at the picture above, hoods seem to count. If not, then half of them don’t apply to the rule.
Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes youngling!
I think he just has a small very dark coloured head. He’s not just eyes in shadow in a hood, he has a round head… it’s just black.

Sufficiently advanced technology.
Not a wizard.
Is a wizard someone that uses magic?
It’s definitely not an alien using a disintegration ray.
So a wizard isn’t someone that uses magic? What is your definition of Wizard?
I’ll have to ponder on that.
Any significantly advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.
If his science was sufficiently advanced it would’ve been able to produce an earth-shattering kaboom.
Marvin didn’t have the wizard hat.
How dare you project your limited idea of what a wizard hat is on Marvin!
Came in here to defend Orko’s legacy. Was not disappointed.
Thank you, was looking to see if someone recognized the OG.
Haven’t played League of Legends in awhile but haven’t forgot about Veigar
What’s black and blue and about to show you the definition of pain!?
This little shit…
I’m glad I broke the addiction, but damn I still miss League. Late game Veigar was really fun. Good thing it doesn’t work on Linux any more.
Wizard/witch hats do it for me every time
Faceless void gf where you at
TIL Jawas are wizards.
They’re artificers
What’s the mug right one with the light blue robe and beige hat?
I recognize him but fail to remember from where
Vivi - Final Fantasy IX
More generally, it’s a Black Mage from the Final Fantasy series, of which Vivi is one.
I actually don’t believe the one in OP’s picture is Vivi, who normal has more adornments on his clothing . It looks more like an older version of the class, like this one from FFIV artwork.
Digimon: “We have eyes-only wizard at home.”
I swear to god if you speak ill of Wizardmon I will beat you senseless with a two-by-four
Orko
I remember someone trying to tell me Vivi in FF9 was genderless and all I could think of was the scene where he and Zidane literally whip their dicks out and piss off a cliff.
Genitals might not equal gender though!

Shout-out to my fellow 1980s kids who played the first Final Fantasy and named their Black Mage character “ORKO” because it just felt right.
Ralsei :3
