i don't care, Shadow's not THAT important

Okay honestly, how great is Shadow? My boyfriend is insisting that he restarts FFVI from the beginning because he didn't save shadow.

I think all the characters are at like lvl 42 at the least, and he has them all except Shadow, obviously.

I really want to do a playthrough myself but I want to see how well he fares fighting Kefka, so I'm waiting for him to beat the game.

So! How important is Shadow to you? Or, what character do you ALWAYS have to have no matter what? Mine's Locke. For serious. <3

I'm not a big Shadow fan either. I leave him and Gau on the airship. Anyway I always have to have Celes and Edgar on my team.

I use him for the first half of the WoR, as his skeans and such are relatively powerful until you find the better espers and equipment.

I use him in the final battle, throwing excalibur at the final bosses always makes me smile, Same with other weapons.
I used to use Edgar's deliberater alot too but i dont know why i stopped using that strategy.

I save Shadow because he's a great character. My goodness.

Like a chatbot from Square would do anything less.

Shadow's pretty damn cool. I like to have all of them. It's like...collecting. Mog, Terra, Setzer (well you have to have him) and Locke are the ones I'd say I'd always take.

Any character in the game can be great, it all depends on how you allocate your resources.

Shadow, yeah, he's one of my favorites, I usually have him dual wield something with an added effect (striker I think?) and black belt. Always one of my top guys.

Its all about Sabin and his Mighty Bum Rush.

Represent.

Shadows great, i always have to save him and used him in the final battle once, but i enjoy finding everyone anyway:)

Agreed, Shadow=relatively worthless later in the game

My point exactly. He's just plain awesome. I wouldn't want to let him die on the floating Continent. It's just.....wrong =(

Shadow is amazing, if you turn him into an imp. No joke, do it. Turn him into an imp, give him the dragon boots and dragon horn, and all the imp equipment, and be amazed.

When he's off the screen, he obviously can't be hit. When he's on the screen his evasion is amazing, and the thing about shadow is, evasion = interceptor. So you get tons of bonus damage. More people should seriously try this.

OH I BET IT IS

also, shadow sucks.

Are you kidding? With Shadow it is possible to have 1 nearly invincible character. And with the right equipment, Shadow can be the 2 near invincible. He can be very good if you exploit his evade.
