I have bad memories of Relm. The first four or five times I tried to play through the game, every single time she used Sketch for the first time (when fighting Ultros in the cave with the mini-Goddess statues) the game would freeze. We eventually had to get a new copy just so we could play past that part. So everytime I see her use Sketch, I always brace myself just a little, because I totally expect that to happen again.
Umaro. You can't control him. He always did stupid things in battle. I like to name him Assrag.
Umaro was awesome, y'all don't even know. Put a Gauntlet on him and nothing else, and he's already got 255 attack. (It's surprising how many people don't know about the Gauntlet thing.) That and the Rage Ring, and he's even better. C'mon, who wouldn't like a guy that can throw other characters at enemies? He's the only guy that can fight in the Fanatics' Tower, unless you cast Berserk on somebody else. The only thing I don't like about that is that the Tower is a great place to learn magic, so you're wasting some of the Magic Points you get just by having him in the party. He doesn't need magic to be effective
Plus, the Snow Suit is one of the best armors in the game. I always go bet at the Coliseum to get one for Gau and Mog.
As for Gau, he does take quite a bit of work, but he also has good magic, and good evasion. You put Beads and a Zephyr cape on him (especially with the Snow Suit), and the guy dodges everything like the Matrix. And you may not like his Rages, but some are good, if you find 'em, and he doesn't use MP when he casts a spell under a Rage. I think the White Dragon shows up on the Veldt, and all it does is cast Pearl every turn.
I didn't have too much of a problem with Relm, even though the low effectiveness rate on her Control always pissed me off. When it worked, it was great...especially when you could Control something, then have everybody else Drain and Osmose it dry before you finally offed it.
The guys I like least are Strago and Locke. Sure, blue magic is good, and you can steal some good stuff if you know who has it, but it's just an inconvenience. Not too good at attacking or magic, and Strago's Lores are just a hassle to learn. Not worth it, in my opinion.
Strago grated on my nerves on so many levels, both storywise and battlewise.
I've never understood why so many people hate Umaro. I thought he was cool. I know you can't control him, but so what? What would you do with him if you could? The exact same thing he does when you don't control him: Beat the crap out of your enemy. And people get upset about his character development. For one thing, he's sort of a secret character, just like Gogo, and Gogo had no development either. Besides, how do you develop a yeti?
My least favorite is Strago. He's incredibly annoying and useless as well.
Oh, and I think its funny that people like Terra so much and hate Celes. A friend of my hated the game at first BECAUSE of Terra, and liked it when Celes was introduced.
have to be Cyan, although Sabin is annoying too.
you just chose two of the better attackers in the game, i bet you're a magic person...Quote:

Sabin was one of my favorite characters. The only thing I didn't like about him is the Spiraler. What in the hell is the point of a blitz that would kill you and give your points to everybody else? Why can't you just use Mantra, and keep your own life?
Umaro was PERFECT for Coliseum battles. No casting stupid spells that don't work, no waiting for swordtechs to charge up, no damn Spiraler. A Gauntlet, and either the Rage Ring, or a Ribbon, or maybe a Running Shoes, and he's awesome.
I didn't like Relm. Little girls annoy me :p Strago either, old men annoy me.
Celes was awesome ^^ Also General Leo is the best ever <3
-Terra: using morph or not she kiks butts
-Celes: just let her use her magic
-Zetser: give him the fixed dice, or the coin toss for good results
-Locke: he atacks and an steal at same time, useful to get economizers
-Gau: just use a good rage
-Strago: the gramps can use grantrain
-Relm: she has the best magic pwr.
-Edgar: using chainsaw or air anchor could be useful
-Sabin: what could be the problem? his brain?
-Shadow: interceptor counter atacks are good and the throw, give him a genji glove
-Cyan: his problem about charging srdtech goes away with an oferring and a genji glove
-Ghost(from the fantom train): he can posees
-Gogo: he can be like anyone
-Umaro: green cherry , blizard orb, rage ring, gauntlet any stuff could be of use
-General Leo: he has an offering, the crystal and many more cool stuff he is great (R.I.P)
The only one left is Banon, he totaly sucks a good thing about him.... the rod punisher nothing more

My original statement still stands, though. Relm's personality makes me want to lose faith in the world.
i totaly forgot about those two, and yes they are worst than banon, it is good to kill them with fire at the start of the game to have terra gain more experience

Banon had his Health, which came in handy quite a bit at that point in the game. I don't think I ever made him do anything except Health.
And I wouldn't imagine that Vicks/Biggs and Wedge would count, because they're only with you for a couple minutes and play no major role. No storyline, no background, no special abilities. They're just escorts.
