FF3j Party Members

[Starboard Regulator FlareNUKE]

I had Sara in my party, I'm not fighting with her...and she doesn't seem to do anything that's really important, What are they useful for?

[Sefie1999AD]

You can talk to the extra party member by pressing the Cancel button. She'll also be important in some story scenes. Otherwise, the party members can't fight along with you, which is unfortunate.

[Crossblades]

Maybe the DS version will let the NPCs fight:)

[KoShiatar]

I hope so. NPCs are really cool in this game (Desh <3) but too bad they don't fight along.

[DJZen]

If they did that everyone would start complaining about how they've changed the game too much. (as if they haven't already...)

[crashNUMBERS]

Yeah, I was kind of pissed to find out that you can't play as them...

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I've always said the solution would be to give each one some kind of special command that could be invoked at the cost of HP/MP/turns/etc. Sort of like the Invincible's huge cannon except it wouldn't go off automatically at the beginning of every fight. That, or an array of less-special commands that they'd use based on their own AI, like Lucia in LUNAR: Eternal Blue.

[DJZen]

Anyone who's ever played Earthbound knows how an extra character should participate in battle.

[Slam Dancin' Moogle]

Pbb. You don't even keep most NPCs for that long, and this isn't always about them. Sure, they make a big deal in the storyline SOMETIMES but really, here's a question. WOULD YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR EXP. WITH AN NPC?

[Paul]

i hope they don't change it.

[Slam Dancin' Moogle]

And, could you imagine if an NPC like Cid, or that girl that involves the water crystal fighting? Man, that would be weird...
