7 Rubbish JRPG Characters No-one Ever Has In Their Party 

For me, FF9 has two characters I never use. Amarant and Quina.

Saber0003 I’m actually really enjoying Quina mechanically, the blue magic spells are actually kind of worth it at times. Amarant though I’m not really sure what to do with, I don’t quite understand what his utility is even supposed to be. I can’t think of a single final fantasy, or even a JRPG in general where I used any sort of “throw” ability. The damage isn’t anything special, you lose your equipment using it, and I can achieve the same ends with much easier means without missing out on any meaningful strategic potential. I just don’t understand the point of that ability. I guess it’s okay in Final Fantasy 10 because the different stealables can inflict status ailments on the entire enemy team as opposed to just one enemy like Wakka can, but even then I still don’t use the use ability all that much (even if I really should.)

@@Xane875 I'm not a fan of the Blue Mage Archetype. Sure, moves like Mighty Guard and White Wind are almost always great, but I just don't like the methods of obtaining Blue Mage spells. Unless you're following a guide, or have played the game before, its easy to miss out on good spells and in some cases, never have another chance at them. To top it off, Quina's design has always been off putting to me, so I just never bothered with s/him. Amarant on the other hand, is hands down the worst Monk Archetype in Final Fantasy. No excuse for how bad he is in comparison with other Monks and the rest of the FFIX cast.

@@Saber0003 I actually ended up getting some of Quina's better spells without using a guide on my first playthrough, but I did end up using a guide to finish him/her off. Relative to how Blue Magic has worked in earlier games, it's actually quite a bit easier to do in 9 because "Eat" is a more consistent and reliable method than hoping an enemy hits the blue mage with the specific ability. Kimahri from Final Fantasy 10 is an easier blue mage to get the abilities for but he's also a much worse character in general because his blue magic is only available in Overdrive and his damage output is really hard to salvage. There are ways to make him work (unlike Amarant for instance), but my point is that Lancet is an even easier way to learn blue magic than eat. The one thing that works in Quina's favor is that she can get all of her usable abilities instantly and don't have to grind out individual weapons to get abilities, so grinding her abilities generally takes a lot shorter than getting every ability on every single other character. Normally I like blue magic more on paper than in practice, but Quina's an exception for me.

@@Xane875 I can understand that. Blue Mage definitely has its perks if you put in the time. I do enjoy Enemy Skill in FF7, but then again, its not something you have to commit fully to. Just equip the materia and it becomes another option instead of everything the character is good at.

I do the same thing.

Yes You Are lol

xHappyFeet562x and you earn a prize for the most stupid answer, because i've already 17 likes, means i aint the only one

i do it also... all my characters should have high weapons and armors and same level or i ll shoke up

You gotta level everyone, my favorite situation is talking to people who are having trouble with a boss and saying "swap to X, their Y attack is really good against this boss" to find out they've left them 30-40 levels down because they're "not on my team."

That fkced me in some games I played lol, but glad that I sabe often and as soon antes area split my team I would keep characters evenly leveled in that game.

Happens in Arc the Lad 2

That’s why I’m glad I trained everyone in Final Fantasy IX. Specifically Quina.

Yeap ff8 lol

Like FF VIII?

Hahahahaaaa! 👌

That’s ain’t funny, considering what he do on his free time is not sitting on the bench

Nothing wrong with man spreading though it's natural for us men with balls.

Snow was actually almost always on my team. The harder the enemies, the more I used him. I think it was more about the combination of the team. A saboteur and sentinel together would let me speed through the game.

And the fact light vanille and sazh are great team until light or fang learn haste , then its >>

That didn't stop him from using a very clickbaity title though, didn't it?

Over 80 endings. Recruitment but certain limitations. You can't that character if this one is already there. A hard learning curve. At least for me. Yes one of the great underrated RPGs. Just Vagrant Story. One of the all time greats. In my top 1o. You can't even go to certain areas until your 2nd playthrough. Plus one of the best GET OUT twist of an ending.

I never finished that game. I have a save file from about ten years ago. I wonder if I could remember anything about that story or what I was doing.

It’s my favorite Star Ocean, though that might be because it was my first one. 😅

I was a small lad when I made it to Freya at level 160ish and was never able to beat her. Aaaah good times.

MY MONEY! MY MONEYYYY!!! AHhhHhHHhhhHhh

let's add suikoden then.

@@keselekbakiak Hahahahahahahaahaha

Hard to chose from around 60 chars...

Yeah. I used to pick Nikki or Janice but I dont remember who else i felt useful...

@@ricardolujan4791 Well, general consensus were Glenn (Second best, also have dual skill with Serge.), Karsh (best damage if Serge and Glenn didn't get Mastermune and double Einhanzer or second best if you save Kid since you didn't get Glenn.) and Fargo (Best stealer in the game.) Yeah, that's it. Those guy are like the best for their job and you gotta choose NOT TO SAVE KID just to receive the best secondary character from the game.

Cait Sith could be very powerful if you timed his slots properly

@@ivenstorm ... which I was too lazy to work out lol

When i saw the title i was 100% sure cait sith would be on here (along with aerith who i also only ever use when she's forced on you)

the dead ugly cat yeah lol

Facts

lokasocba Morgana literally never leaves my front line, he has the best healing moves in the game, and when your fighting bosses or enemies with no weaknesses, Miracle Punch is.... Well a miracle

That Miracle Punch also comes in handy against Treasure Demons, especially the ones that don't have weaknesses. Also, maybe it's because I played Persona 4 and had to deal with Teddie, but I never found Morgana that irritating.

LegalAssassin Ooh, I feel you. I remember Yosuke and Teddie being among my favorite characters in my first P4 run, but when I came back with Golden, their perversion got to me. Particularly Yosuke, who kept getting me in trouble with the female party members for antics I wanted no part of.

lokasocba I just had MC fulfill those roles. Never used Morgana in battle. He healed me outside of it

I made MC switch personas all the time, so he never had a fix role, even more, high critical chance attack are rare so Morgana was always there.

Are you the author of the handbook? I am not worthy -Rob

I second this!!!

Grinding is actually the thing i actually DON'T like in rpgs. I love rpgs, don't get me wrong, but i almost always avoid encounters when possible. in Final Fantasy 8 i used encounter none for nearly the entire game.

We are not worthy!

Me in Persona 4 Golden

Immediately followed up by this genius line “Number 4 Dark Souls...........All of Dark Souls”

6 times games told us to deal with it... I think

I love cait sith ❤️❤️❤️

Rob loves this comment. Delsin Roadkill confirmed.

DeltaOblivion delsim is the man, i mean the badger i love that little sod bring him back Rob

It's not a Square-Enix game, it's Sony's. They almost didn't localize it here, because they were worried about sales.

@@forkymental5154 They were worried about sales. We were worried about Seles....

marsella527 he’s the strongest character though!

Yeah! His overdrive does 1.199.988 with his celestial weapon!

Silver I'm basing this off the fact that I was 12 when I first played FFX. And when you see people with lances and swords and magic, the last thing you wanted to do was hit someone with a ball

marsella527 they're not just any ordinary balls!! Lol

Yeah man, Wakka is mandatory almost for the end game monster arena. My crew was Rikku, Wakka, and Tidus for end game.

I sometimes wonder if he pays attention to anything but the explosions....

@kshamwhizzle I assume you mean "Boring" as in digging tunnels? Because that'd be a cool feature.

fran from final fantasy xii is the worst. bit to make it better she doesn't have a good job in ff xii zodiac age.

Have you ever played Ershin? She manages to make it bland. It's a sad, sad day when someone can make Rocket-Fist boring, but there you have it.

because of an editting error we missed the "are not" that should have been inbetween

Bobby Bobby I can remember many of them, be it because I liked them, or they were just odd enough to stand out. Many did feel like fillers, but at the same time it did add to the replay value. It took three runs, making different choices in each, to recruit them all.

Still there were really idiotic characters there, like Korcha, or the Fungus bloke, or the sheep thing that could change forms. I usually went with Serge (duh), Norris as the leader, and Luccia or the Viper manor Princess (I don't remember her name).

xLttPx I'd say more like 80%, you just had to sort through the trash to find them.

DrMauroFrenchman Glenn with both swords could do some damage.

Glenn and Guile were the ones I used most, Basically only used Riddel to get the Mastermune.

That is my fav game!!!! I hated the ghost ship part lmao. Scaredy cat.

PrinceR3dd91 absolutely agreed it was one of my favorites.

Kawaii Kitteh that’s when the games difficulty really increased. Still a great underrated game

I still own it! :)

Loved that gane downloaded it to my PS3 so I could steal roll it

thats what im saying

That's because Cait Sith is a pretty decent character. High HP with a decent magic score, so you can load him down with magic material without crippling him. Yes, his Slots Limit can be annoying, but the Dice Limit just gets better and better as he levels up....

Cait Sith is one of the most broken characters of all time. His Game Over limit break can one shot anything in the game and works on bosses, including the Weapons. There's a reason FFVII speedruns have no slots categories.

If you were a gambler, then Cait Sith was your man. If you cast his grim reaper slot, it would one shot anything, including bosses. He's technically the most powerful character in Final Fantasy history.

Pretty much the same as Selphie in FF8 with her slot maschine

Or obtaining those treasure demons you can use for fusion material.

You get better healers, and you have enough persona slots that you should always have a high crit attack on you.

Yeah to be honest I wasn’t using morgana but MOST certainly at the end of the game I definitely was using him cause his heals was good

@@marqusiq5597 I used Makoto for heals, plus she can buff you, where Morgana was just Heal.

I'm on my first playthrough and honestly I benched Morgana for a bit but by level 22 he was a mainstay basically to heal everyone each turn, and use lucky punch when needed, but just having him there saved me so much annoyance, especially when he gets the 2nd heal all ability and revival

Same, I don't know if I've ever been so annoyed by a character as I was Hope at the beginning of the game.

I use Snow as well but I also use Hope. Throw in Lightning and that's my main team.

i put FF13 in the bin.

@@JaekenosBeginnings hope was actually the best mage in the game. xD

I used Hope because I needed a pure caster but Vanille made me too uncomfortable.

I remember how Amarant single-handedly won the boss fight in Oeil Vert by throwing and dealing 7k damage in one hit right away. I don't see how he is "bad".

Shana's Dragoon is actually broken in the late game, when magic and aillments are more prominent. With her gargantuan magic stats & speed she can wipe the floor very fast using magic throwing items, but yeah leveling her is way too boring..

Snow got on my nerves but he and Fang are the best tanks so it boils down to who you like more personality wise and or stat wise. Depending on your play style, I used Fang personally.

I feel bad for you. hopefully you were just using monica with some ABS plus weapon near endgame, killing an enemy, and immediately swapping to the monster to get the abs? would suck trying to level them and use them for actual fights. Hell, i liked doing that just for leveling secondary weapons, for whatever purpose.

leeman27534 That’s exactly what I did to get up to thunder gemron in the palace, then used that floor with all the card soldiers in the mine to get to fire gemron

And you don’t actually have to fight with them in the mine, you just need a fully evolved one to get a trophy

My last playthrough I purposefully never swapped Kimahri out and took him down Aurons path. Strongest char ive ever had in that game

I sent him down lulu’s path and it was one of the worst decisions in a video game I’ve ever made besides not saving and losing hours of progress.

@@misterbxiv See, I always take Tidas down Auron's path and Auron down Tidas' path, and Tidas ends up the stronger character (I do this switch-up after taking both a ways down their own paths). Then I do the same switch-up between Yuna and Lulu, and I basically end up with two black mages, one of which can summon and has a high capacity for white magic as well as black. By the way, having two black mages and a Tidas that is both Tidas and Auron as your line-up can get you surprisingly far.

@@Vigilante8841 Can confirm this. If you use Ability-Spheres on Yuna in the earlier game getting Lulu's magic she gets riddicously strong, because all of her magic points originally intended for healing and aeons are now offensive magic. Lulus path gives you around 50 magic at the end, while Yuna has on her path 65. In combat it means that Yuna does around 5000 with Fire2, while Lulu needs Fire3 to achieve this.

@@fredstolperman2785 Yeah there's a good video i learned this from its called how strong can you get before shiva in ffx

Use Makoto as a bulky healer and use items to revive. I'd rather do that than rely on a white mage whose defenses are made of tissue paper.

Err, no you don't. Money is too important in this game to be spent just on Revives when you could be doing that for more Executions and better weapons. Morgana ftw.

True, Morgana's really useful as both a healer and a wind mage. And if people whine about the defences, then they really need to get some better gear on him. Nekomata + Armour, Crystal Skull accessory, Claimoh Solais sword and you're golden

edmg7, thing is his weaknesses can be fixed. I used Marakukaja and Masakukaja in the same round, and the cat did pretty damn well for himself

Technichally the only truly useless character is Yusuke. Ann and Ryuji deal the most magical and physical damage respectively because they learn the respective focus skills and the most powerfull spells. Makoto is a tank Healer for grinding and just going about all the dungeons. Haru can use Heat Riser which is always good for rapidly killing sub bosses or strong foes and Bullet based skills so thats good in certain areas. Morgana is a good healer for the bossfights since you can get rid of ailments and revive on the spot. Just needs the good armor for endgame and it will do better than Makoto for those specific scenarios. Yusuke just looks cool...that and hes a poormans Ryuji that doesnt do as much damage. If he had learned Debilitate then he would be Key for a Glasscannon strategy but they gave that to Akechi :/

LOOKING COOL JOKER

tecobel You're so gorgeous panther...

I hate that meme. Its so annoying. I never had a problem with Joker getting some sleep but that meme is just irritating.

suicidal thought 4 today But that's a SRPG, your whole argument is invalid...just kidding. Cloud in FFT sounds like an archetype from Fire Emblem called "Est": a really weak character found almost at the end of the game that can destroy anything if you train him but it's not worth it because your army is powerful at that point.

But he is worth it....oneshotting before anyone else can.

Nathan Alexandre One thing. T.G. CID.

Except that parties are more than just one character. I loved T.G. Cid, but i also always got Cloud. In fact i always recruited Named characters, and if i ran out of space i would delete a user generated character, since Named characters are simply better. My elite party consisted of Ramza, Mustadio, TG Cid, Cloud, and (Meliadoul, Construct 8, Beowulf)

really? my team has always been Ramza Agrias and 3 female knights chantage+ ribbon+ excalibur= immortal (honestly Agrias is terrifying when you give her Math skill, a rune blade and wizard's robe in addition to the above)

I used him also. He can also heal mp

I always liked him

My favorite character

Ikr, amarant is an excellent support character for fights such as ozma.

I also like Amarant for the reasons previously stated. Besides, he is usually a better melee fighter than Steiner due to character levels gained.

Vladimir Kochkovski I thought Morgana was really useful too haha

Have a feeling this guy didnt get very far or understand the game very well. Probably put it in the video cuz he has only played FF Titles and needed a jrpg.

@@buttqueef9900 his psn profile shows completion and 72% trophies so he definitely has. I am 101 hours in and 66% trophies.

Morgana is a core member in my party as well for the heals and revive. I also used him a lot to knock down enemies without weaknesses.

FF is a JRPG too...

He was my party leader until I got the only version of Death that was ever truly useful

Joshua Tyree Shana is the most useful character.

Dart, Miranda and Meru. Ultimate Team. The game is a cake with them

Meru is just broken when you give her all the speed equipment

I too felt (and still feel as I'm yet to beat the game) terrorized by Morgana P: and yet, it's one of my favourite characters in the game, the best cat character in a video game ever!!! BTW the japanese voice over actress is the one behind Pikachu's voice.

Morgana is so stupidly useful though, as a healer. My party ended up being Yusuke for ice/buffs, Makoto for radioactive and her defense buff and morgana for healing and i would fill in the majority of the elemental weaknesses. I never used Haru because she's given to you so late in the game that by that point, i've already found my party and style i like, so why would i suddenly ditch one of my party for her? I still wish we got Futaba as a full support who uses passive buffs, heals and then buffs/debuffs/misc effects like maybe increasing reward drops or inflicting statuses. Was really disappointed seeing this brilliant Eldritch UFO that would only show up randomly to give out a buff once every 10-ish fights :/

DMind Gaming I never had problems with Morgana telling me to go to sleep. Those complains never made much sense to me. Its Jokers decision to listen to him. Its not like Morgana is forcing him to anything. And If Joker wants to sleep than he should sleep. I know how a lack of sleep effects well being and work quality. And if I want to do something I just do it another day. Morgana is honestly my favorite Character both as well a Character aswell as partymember. A lot of people prefer Makotto but I found here overrated. She rocks pretty hard in the end game but fore the majorette of the game she is pretty forgettable beyond the scoop of hitting nuclear weak spots.

Ikr? Futaba would of been fun as a full on combat support character in battle.

@@sofaris576 No, actually, when Morgana asks you if you're tired, you can't do anything but sleep. That's what's annoying. I always MAX Kawakami first (Temperance Confidant) so that I can get her message and get extra things to do.

ninjaeris131 Thank you.. my thoughts exactly. Took the words out of my mouth.

Worst character ever

lol ^_^

They should've left his character out entirely from the budget. He contributed to nothing as a character and was dry on character development. Vincent was far better in combat even though he was so minor to the story.

He's the 1st character i thought of

Yeah, screw dumb thing!

An expression that feminists and soyboys adore. It means nothing but their passive-agressiviness.

Luxra lol for 10 min and then no more

Oh those rebels who think they are special.

No ones going to play as Amarant. He sucks

I like Amarant.

Rusty Jones well your "special" aren't you

jczlcheeze Every single FF7 game I've played, I told myself I would make Caith Sith one of my main party and learn to like him. And every single time, I would just give up after a short period of time. I just hate him so much!

dont remind me of that good for nothing add on

Tbh man, Barret, cloud, tiffa. Just simple as for me. Although every time I see Reds heart breaking scene I'm inspired to let him have some fun

True, he has no sith powers and cant even use the force

This is such a great comment. I love you.

I would kill for a remake of LOD

Legend of Dragoon has great story, music and game play. We need a remake, sequal or prequal. I'll take any.

You're not alone.

For a while I thought I made up Legend of Dragoon in my mind because none of my friends had ever heard of it. Lol.

Does that make me odd that I still have the game and a ps1 to play it on 🤔 It needs a remake.

EvilSandwich I have a damage build with some buffs added and I can easily put him vivi/Freya ( interchangeable do to a no white mage run) and steiner to demolish the opponents mainly from using his throw ability with the items your suppose to let him throw as well as him and Freya can basically make everyone never run out of health or mp

Not to mention hitting the entire enemy party with trance kamehamehas is freakin awesome

EvilSandwich Amarant was a key member for me when it came to Necron. Was Zidane (of course), Amarant, Quina, and Eiko with an emerald equipped (Haste with Carbuncle), all with their best stuff. Aura and Chakra were lifesavers, as well as giving Auto-Life. Also had that on Quina, but having two with it? Certainly helped

Scarlett-husando does do best support. Don't forget that he is the only character other than Vivi that can equip couter-magic.

Agreed. Amarant has always been part of my team in every FF9 runs I did.

he's only useful in some parts as sentinel to protect low hp characters like hope

Benny Susanto on post game, spell casting speed is more important than raw stats, as Snow develop more on Ravager role, his spell just increased in speed. This is mostly because he cast spell with one hand and alternate between left and right hand when casting multiple spell in ATB queue. Lightning spell casting is just second to Snow, so Snow much more useful on staggering opponent.

@@NoirLouisStream Wow, I just knew that there's such a thing like that

Benny Susanto incidentally, Snow learned Ravager skills that Lightning doesn’t learn. Snow also doesn’t learnt any of Siphon passive from his Commando tree while Lightning doesn’t learn Adrenaline passive from Commando tree.

Milomondo I guess so but I didn't really him that annoying, but everyone has their preferences

BigPj so no tifa?

Cern Foxtail nope

She's actually pretty good when you level her up

So I've heard but honestly couldn't put up with her limit break, even if it doesn't come up that often

Well you could use Caith Sith's "Game Over" and Selphie's "The End" to insta-kill the superbosses like Omega/Emerald/Ruby Weapon...which I totally did not do.

Dylan McCollum honestly can’t even remember that happening in the game so he must have sucked.

Haha EXACTLY.

It's true, Vaan just felt like an award narrator.

Basch, Ashe, Balthier and Fran were lvl 99 for me before I even crossed the gigas gate in the feywood. (Mostly because the game was bugged for me and wouldn't let me past the gate so I had to grind my boredom away. Then I lost my memory card. PS2 tragedies.)

Vaan and Penello were so pointless for the story... Ashe, Balthier, Fran, and Basche all had large, important roles to play in the story... after the first half of the story, Vaan is litterally just tagging along for no reason, and Penello is just there to be with Vaan. If you notice starting at the second half, at the start of every cutscene where something important happens, Ashe, Balthier and Basche (and sometimes Fran) will get together and have a serious conversation while Vaan and Penello are off doing something in the background. The conversation at the beach comes to mind where they loudly shout that they're running off to go play in the water. They ruined the game for me -_-

If Balthier was Jack Sparrow, Ashe was Elizabeth, Vaan was the pirate crew I used Vaan tho, I kept thinking he was the main character who will save the day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

300 IQ joke

Morgana is unfortunately necessary in the early game since he has healing and resurrection before you can get higher level personas on a second playthrough.

IKR?!?!?!?? still my favorite RPG, using usually Dart, Lavitz, Rose, and if I needed a more capable healer, Meru would usually replace one based on the boss or situation or if I needed a more stable physical attack setting, I would replace Lavitz for Kongol or Hashel (latter mostly because he had no element weakness and his Dragoon MP skills were the most balanced damage wise)

Alex Immel I agree no one understands how incredible this game is one of the first RPG I ever played and I still have a copy that I’ll play

I cry a bit inside when I think of my discs that don't work...

Sony keeps remastering Shadow of the Colossus but they forgot about this gem.

i always use meru (high speed awesome final addition and one of only 2 useful dragoons late game) my other character varies but usually its haschel because of the huge damage ouput he and meru have (correct me if im wrong but i think that when accounting for speed they have the highest damage output in game)

Agreed. I just wish they would make Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2.

Lascell Taylor i always felt snow was strong if you were running vanille but hope was better with fang since her str was crazy high

True, Fang always did insane damage for me. My end team at Orphan was Lightning, Snow and Fang. They had all the damage and both sentinels to take big hits. Also, Fang and Lightning's full atb abilities (Highwind and Army of One) were just so visually impressive.

Lascell Taylor Very nice! I my first playthrough was lightning Hope and Vanille so i had very good rav damage for staggering but we couldn't take any hits

As a ff7 fans i also did not used cait sith that much but considering all the exploit that been discovered all this years he/it is the strongest characters in the game to the point he/it is ban to speed runners

He's in XII? I don't remember a Cait Sith in XII.

You are no fan

Juan Benavides I just have him heal me outside of battle.

same as long as I had mp with Morgana I never had to use healing items

Give me a few more days, and i can say the same. Lol

WOAH! LOOKING COOL JOKER!

Juan Benavides Me too.. I very rarely switched him in if say.. Haru was on 30 HP and I couldn't be assed to use a potion... lol

Fede Krauch Same.

That's because on speedruns you are not trying to save resources and explore all the game has to offer, is mostly underleveled and his habilities do not suffer that much by it. If you are not speedrunning any other characters outscales Amarant in a way.

Don't feel bad, Rob's opinion isn't definitive. You should play the game the way you enjoy, regardless. :)

Omar Guillen u where talking about how snow suxxx

to be fair I dislike lightning personality. alright here the leader of the group what she gonna say to them all "leave me alone you all will just slow me down" truly a unifier if I ever see one. meanwhile snow was the only one optimistic out of the group.

Yuffie is great for morphing when she has her Conformer. Let's her bypass morph's reduced damage output

No I'm very much the same. I spent ages maxing out all the characters in Legend of Dragoon and finding their ultimate equipment. Same with FF VIII. I feel bad leaving out people from the party.

At least he evolves into something useful, which is more than we can say for Luvdisc or Unown.

Psyduck... and the dreaded Jigglypuff

JZA the Jenius still using mor to this day. His lucky punch and magaru help me get thru kamoshida lacky without using any heal

He's a healer, that alone makes him infinitely better than Yusuke.

This guy probably swapped to Makoto as soon as he could stop having to pull healing duty.

Thing is, it's almost like the game wants you to drop Mona in favor of Queen which I ended up doing. By the time Oracle joins up Mona starts feeling useless which guilted me into using him again just in time for miracle punch, diarahan, samarecarm, and magarudyne making him my go to healer.

Morgana is so annoying and irritating, but he is useful

Literally only good for farming synth items by levelling them up... in chapter 7/8!

On mulltiple playthroughs he prived to be, Joker aside, my best ore second best partymember only rivaled by Ann. Used right he turns the fight against the twins in to a cakewalk.

I think so, i always used him

same

I mean he's required for Shiva I believe xD

Nope. Snow never sees action with me

Snow helped me with tough fights bc ai didn’t know how to heal so I was always Vanille with sazh buffing and boy oh boy that was a nice team

I guess it's just that when a series has 15+ games in it some slip through the cracks. I've heard its pretty decent.

ffxii is awesome. hard but great. i remember i beat it like 10 years after i originally got the game n i felt fullfilled. 10 years. lol.

FFXII is my favorite Final Fantasy game

FFXII is my favorite too! It's highly rated but was pretty much lost in time because there weren't many bad things to talk about it. (I think. Which is for the best anyway.)

footloose20005 he's a good tank, his personality is the only issue

Hahaha fair enough, i find him kinda funny

That's literally the only good thing about him lol. He's a worse physical attacker than Fang and Lightning and a worse mage than Hope and Vanille.

In FFX-2 it's a matter of class choices not character choices. My #1? THEIF! I would often have the entire team switch to thief just to pickpocket a boss monster. My least faves? the other starting classes. All of them. They're not BAD, just weaker than the later classes you get. So I mastered them ASAP(for the passive stat boosts) then stopped using them.

That made my day haha. I sometimes even forget the names of the people I actually like.

there are 108 stars/characters in each game more than half are playable. but that said you only use 6 in the party so pretty much a bench feast :P

@@gloryknight1 In suikoden 5 you need to train all characters in ashtwal mountains they split into 3 groups

Well in sukioden 3 it actually pays to level up a lot of characters and equip them well as you use them in the battles. You can absolutely wipe the floor with the enemy once you can build your squads.

I bench a lot of characters, except Suikoden II, gotta prepare that Luca Blight night raid.

I agree! He may be annoying in the beginning. He's a great healer!

Not to forget Lucky/Miracle Punch. Saved me when enemies with no weaknesses appeared!

Honestly I never found him annoying all that much. I am at my 3rd playthrough (Second time on hard both times without new game plus boni) to play without right now at the beginning of Madarame but I actually found it pretty cool how he teaches the Phantom Thieves while they venture through that castle. He is actually my favorite Character in the game only rivaled by the twins. I really love this guy. He is my favorite companion in gaming thus fare. Looking at just the combat he is easaly the 3rd most useful partymember next to Joker and Ann. Joker is ofcours better because Wild Card and Ann rocks with here status aliments and attack debuffs. Non Boss Enemys that have no element weakness are weak to status effects which leads to technical damage. And in the end game she becomes a magic power house. Now Morgana is a great healer. We get Makoto but she is always behind Morgana in terms of healing skills. Even once she learned to buff the defense of entire party, AKA when she become useful beyond hitting nucleare weak spots, I still prefer Morganas superior healing. His lack of defense never really bothered me that much. But I also like to have both Morgana and Makoto fore the sake of turtling my way through a Boss fight with 2 healers. Morganas Lucky Punch/ Miracle punch I found amazing. Its essentially a low risk high return gamble. More button passes and more hold ups. What do you want more? Now at the end of the game Morgana falls a bit behind. Once Makoto learns to completely heal the group she is better in boss fights no matter how you look at it. However it does not happen in my last playthrough until after I beat the man with the black mask. And even than Morgana remains awesome in normal fights and while not optimal he is still not a bad choice in a boss fight. Its funny how his infiltration tools shine in the one fight where he is undeniable a bad choice fore the front line. You can only fight Caroline and Justine before Morgana gets his second awakening and that means no avoid electricity. But the Limelight Infiltration tool makes this fight so much easier. It was because of that I was able to beat them on hard mode.

Easy rank 10 on end-game, maybe.

In the video he actually said he didn't actually find morgana useless he just found him such an annoying character he never bothered.

Ann does more magic damage and gets healing spells makoto is well balanced and gets healing spells ur character can get healing spells and yusuke has the best physical damage in the party.....btw ann makoto and yusuke r statistically tje best team mates

Really? Ann Makoto and Yusuke are statistically the best? I'm not arguing with you, I'm just curious who figured that out and how.

edmg7 the survivability in boss fights and damage output is the best now jack of all trades makokto is arguable at base stats but the variety is the good part since she can be whatever u need and tho she gets few physical skills yusuke more than makes up tor it plus if u get a special accessory plus her ultimate gun she gets +20 to all stats

Yuffie is one of those characters I level grind for her Limit Breaks and side story then forgot about for the rest of the game. Her and Red XIII to be fair.

Her bloodfest is worth getting till you unlock omnislash

ArcRiseGen i unlocked omnislash on my second visit to gold saucer so around level 30 or so

+Sean Manaloto maybe if this one does 1 million hits -Rob

Zaalbar (Star Wars - Knights Of The Old Republic) and Arcade Gannon (Fallout - New Vegas).

PlayStation Access Cole, from Dragon Age Inquisition, why would you actually use cole? Varric is so much better.

Everyone from DA:I. Next

Cernd, Valygar, skie, Faldorn, tiax. these are long forgotten legends

Cait Sith was awesome >.>

Any one in that game can be really good or really bad sins the magic is all up to u but I hate him regardless

I do wonder what he's going to be like in the Remake...

If u get the limit break game over with caith sith he will kill every enemy in an instant

Was very surprised he was not on the list

I liked teddy at the beggining he seemed innocent and cute enough, but boy when he tried to be funny did he fail. I also disliked when he suddenly became a pretty boy, it just felt weird :S

And then there is the heroic sacrifice bit where he gives it all up to save Nanako... and then they bring him back!!!

Yeah Chu Chu is horrible. Every time someone mentions Xenogears I sigh and think about disc 2 and how much potential it had.

By reading your comment, somehow the music that plays in that particular scene started playing in my head, and yes it was an epic scene!

That annoying muppet.

pakkun Late game Makoto is more than good enough

Cal7192 I will agree Mercurius is pretty awesome.. But still useless compared to the others...

Feliciano Vargas each to their own I guess 😊 I found him useful with the party setup I had but I'll admit he would be swapped out more often than the others.

Cal7192 honestly there's point in the game where you can just spam revival beads making him pretty useless

They win by default. The others were just too much cringe.

And Basch and Fran and Ashe and Penelo and Gabranth and Drace and Zagabrath and Bergan and.... .... and Larsa and Nono and Girdy and... Pretty much everyone in FFXII is better then Vaan.

I laughed 😂 my friend said that Vaan is the stupidest main character in FF universe and I just can’t seem to disagree. She thinks he’s cute tho (and we’re both agree that the bro is hotter)

Yuna and Auron were much better than Tidus in FFX. Even though Yuna's voice actress sometimes sounded as if she had asthma and needed an inhaler. Way better characters.

Thank you for watching! -Rob :)

Jonathan V and im one of em. :) keep up the good work man!

yeah its a war on masculinity vanille was more annoying than snow

Snow is the best sentinel which is needed for many boss fights

Loremipsumdolorsit Amet no is not?? I never used snow except the times he really was forced onto me. And i never really had trouble beating enemies. Its not evem about the defence sentinel provides XD Literaly having the 3 girls in my party. Using Sentinel at the right time halves the damage already. Switch to triple medic and that damage is gone in no time. Debuff, buff, stagger and kill~ I never had real trouble battling enemies without snow. :P

I found the protag and Makoto to heal much better.
