Here's my fav. setup:
Cloud - Mostly offensive power and backup healer: Counter Attack, Comet, Fire-All and 2x-Cut.
Yuffie - Main healer/summoner: Cure3-All, Phoenix, BahamutZERO, Morph.
Tifa - Physical attacks, Enemy Skills: Deathblow, Mega-All, Enemy Skill, Steal (Mug)
Although Cloud looks like a player surrounded by women like that, because before that I always used Aeris and Tifa.
~MJE~
Any party that doesn't have Cloud in it.
Variety is best and I hate having the same character in my party the entire time... especially in this game with only 3 characters at a time. It wasn't as bad with IV and IX as they allowed 4 and 5 characters apiece. But having only three characters and one of them a boring guy in all blue with a sword isn't the most exciting thing ever.
So to answer the question as it was originally asked I go with Cid, RedXII, and Vincent.
I used to go with Cloud, Tifa and Barret, just because they were the original people. The last couple of times I've started to use Cloud, Cid and Yuffie.
I still use Aeris in Disc 1.
Definetly Cloud Vincent and Cid. But, since I use gameshark now...
Cloud Sephiroth Vincent
befor aeris dies its
cloud
aeris
tifa or cid
after she dies
Cloud
Tifa
Cid
p.s why does almost everyone use yuffie?
No clue, the second, (and 3rd fourth fifth sixth seventh, and currently 8th) I have not gotten her...I don't like her personally and she is more trouble then what she's worth.
I love to use this party :
Cloud
Tifa
Vincent
You gotta try this party they all have swift moves!
Cloud
Cid
Nanaki/red XIII
Cait Sith, Cid and Cloud for me. I like the randomness of Cait Sith and the Swearing of Cid...and the game forces me to have cloud but I think I would use him anyways as they mad him way too strong for battle and everything.
Cloud - Barret - Cid (or Yuffie)
Cloud... omnislash says it all
Barret... ummm give him like 100 power sources, equip Missing Score and use Ungarmax. MWAHAHAHA
Cid... Highwind or Yuffie... Doom of the Living
Limits is what the game is all about
Just like zacks_clone
cloud: cheap offensive magic (fire, ice, ect) and zero bahamut, typhoon, ect...
tifa: Main physical attacker and healer (revive, cure, ect...) and ktjana (sp?)
vincent: heavy magic attacker (ultima, comet, demi, contain [freeze, breack, tornado, flare]) and knights of the round. oh and load him with mp plus materia.
i like vincent because he's got good attack and magic. and he's sooo cool.
Cloud
Tifa
Cid
All of their level 4 limit breaks break 9999, plus all three are good offensively, which is good considering the aggressive style of play I prefer.
for some reason, I hated Cait sith and never used him unless I had to. When I got to junon in the second disk cait sith still had all of the equipment he came with.
I prefer Cloud, Vincent, and Red
I'd have to say... Cloud, Yuffie, and Vincent. Yep. What a trio. :rolleyes2
Cloud, Tifa, Aeris then Cloud, Tifa, Cid. Cid comes in pretty late so you don't miss much levelling.
I put people in my party if I want them particularly to fight a boss. I let Vincent and Nanaki fight Hojo, and Barret and Tifa are there when Aeris dies.
