It somewhat irks me that any hard core fan of Final Fantasy VI would ever call the following charaters useless and yet so many of you do. Why? I will tell you how I manage to make the most useless charaters quite useful.
RELM. This is easy, Although she has very little direct merits she does assist and when used properly is a valued team member. Here is what I use her for. I equip her with the cursed sheild and the heal rod along with the ribbon. This basically nullifies the effects of the cursed sheild except for the confuse and the doom. So she is confused and she attacks others will the heal rod effectively healing them... I like this because I have wicked ADD and I often forget I have equiped the heal rod and ussually end up healing my foes.
The other thing relm is useful for is to use her in concert with other charaters for obtaining either blue magic for her grandpops or stealing with Locke or GoGo. If say you want a second pair of the Tiger Claws and can't kill until you get it Control is an easy way to get them.
Relm can also obtain something few in this game can. Magic evasion rate that exceeds 100%. Let me just say that this is extremely useful.
SETZER. Simply one of the best. Equip him with fixed dice, offering, safety bit, and your best armor and you will find you have a powerhouse. Now focus your time on building up his magic powers and you will have one of the most effective charaters in the game.
GAU. Gau is a complicated charater to master. You have to spend a lot of time to develope him. There are maybe a dozen usefull attacks that he has. For fans of Leo he can do your almighty "shock". Equip him with a snow muffler and a merit award and watch out. This guy is extremely powerful. There are entire strategy guides out on the net devoted to Gau's effective use.
Umaro. a lazy person would say there isn't much you can do with this guy. The only real things you can do to elevate the status of this guy is to switch up his relics. With the Gauntlet he is pretty feirce. The only real use I have found for him is in the Tower of Kefka. Physical attacks when no one else can is powerful stuff.
My point is that everyone in Final Fantasy 6 has a purpose for being there. The people who are wickedly usefull in the WOB are often the ones who become extremely useless in the WOR. Take Edgar for example when was the last time you used a tool while fighting a major boss? What about Celes? Her Runic blade technique is equally useless. But she is a total hottie so I forgive her. I know alot of you will disagree but come on she is just eye candy. I know many of you like Cyan throughout but let us face the facts that his tech is a collosal waste of time in the WOR. Shadow I feel is subject to this as well. While I think shadow is one of the most compelling charaters in the story as a fighter I have trouble using him effectively in battle. I ussually take him along in order to look cool. Terra, Sabin, and Locke. are like the only charaters who maintain a constant state of usefullness.
