For Those of us that played FFIV Advance...

Did you stick with the regular party (Cecil, Rosa, Edge, Kain, Rydia) when you defeated the game for the first time?

[Jowy]

I didn't like using anyone else. It just seemed kind of strange.

So you never switched around your characters? :confused:

I havent beaten it, but ill beat it with the party of the game! Having palom/porom at this point seems rather strange indeed.

[Zeromus_X]

Porom-witten! =3 White Mage Kitty.

Porom-witten! =3 White Mage Kitty.
Must be strange having 2 White Mages.

I always have either Rosa and Rydia or Palom and Porom.

[Rase]

I swapped out Kain and Edge for Palom and Porom and found it easier than the original party.

[Zeromus_X]

Nuking things with Holy is more awesome than strange. :) :cat: =3

[Jowy]

I switched my party out for purposes of unlocking the floors in the Lunar Ruins and the Cave of Trials. I didn't like using them though. It seemed very unbalanced.

I kept the default SNES party of Cecil, Kain, Edge, Rosa and Rydia for my first time through the final dungeon in FFIVA. I'm not sure if I should have replaced Kain with Yang because his Jump is very slow in FFIVA (although it still protects Kain from attacks sometimes), and he doesn't cause as much damage with his spear alone. Meanwhile, Yang's attacks are quite powerful. However, I just can't imagine the final battle, its dialogues and the aftermath with a different party.

I replaced Edge with Yang in the final battle. But yeah, pretty much my pt was the same

Hehe, yeah, it was prettymuch the same, you know, other than the fact that 1/5 of the original party WASN'T THERE. J/K

If I were to replace anyone, it would be Edge. His only value is throwing big swords like Excalibur because you got the Crystal Sword, so you don't need Excalibur anymore. But then once you've thrown it, he's just a pain. Although I don't feel that Yang, Cid, Palom, Porom or (ugh) Edward would be more help. Maybe FusoYa or something.

Anyway, yes I did use the original party. I've gone back since then and messed around with it, but the first time, I did the way I've been doing it since I first fought Zeromus in 1993. He wasted me quick. :)

i liked edge, with two boomerangs, you can put him on the back row so his attack is reasonably high and his defense is great. plus he always gets critical hits against flying enemies this way.

i wanted to swap kain for yang but i thought it'd be best to finish the game with the most primary characters. i eneded up finishing it with all the others anyway to open up their trials.

[Evastio]

I'm glad to hear that none of you took out Rosa. :ghost:

[feioncastor]

When you're up against an enemy who is "Big Bang" happy, a steady Cure4 is necessary. Honestly, I always just have her cast Cure4 every turn. Even if no one needs it. Because by the time she executes the spell, they will need it. And Asura's too unpredictable. And Rydia's turns are better spent Bahamuting.

[Sefie1999AD]

Since Cure4 is so necessary during the final battle, wouldn't it be a decent idea to replace Rydia (or someone) with Porom on that battle for extra healing?

[Nerevarine]

i use the basic team cecil, kain, edge, rydia, rosa. they work the best, the only person i would replace would be edge for porom and move from the usual 3-2 to a 2-3(cecil and kain in front) but then i found myself wantin to use twin and missin stealin stuff so i made the move back. the first five just works best as far as i see

[Reine]

I switched Edge for Edward the very first time I got to the final dungeon when playing the ROM.

When I got the real game, It was original party till the end.

[ImAFarmer]

Cid>Kain

But that's kuz I accidentaly used Kain's most powerful lances instead of stars =X
