Your favourite party.

If I didn't have to have Zidane in my party, I'd have Amarant, Freya, Vivi and Eiko.

Amarant - Aura is great for keeping them alive. Curse is good for making Vivi's spells do more damage. No Mercy just rocks.

Freya - Two words - Dragon Knight. And Reis's Wind is good if you don't have Auto-Regen.

Vivi - Flare is such a great spell.

Eiko - Holy is my favorite spell ever. Not as good as previous versions (like FFV - it only cost 20 MP), but still a great spell. You can also do a nifty trick with her - cast Carbuncle on your party, then have Vivi cast one of his elemental spells on everyone. The spell will be reflected for even more damage.

That's two words :D

ahh yes, that was delibrate, no really, i was just testing
:laughing: :riiight: :sweatdrop :shifty: :sweat:

well, my party was zidane (i didnt know you didnt have to use him), dagger, eiko, and vivi.

come on, two white mages, im not gonna die too soon. and both can summon... and a madeen/ark double team can wipe out most creatures. and of course, vivi, with doomsday... what i do here is equip everyone with either shadow absorb or shadow 100% defend armour, and then most of the guys get healed, at the same time as dealing a HELL of a lot of damage to the enemy. its like absorb on drugs.

I'd want garnet for healing and whatnot... zidane does some great damage... freya is pretty good to have as he can cast regen on all party members... and vivi's magic is great to have. Altough, vivi makes a great pair with steiner... so possibly replace garnet with steiner, since freya does have that white wind....

the party i usually use is
zidane - thievery->9999 damage
freya - dragon's crest->9999 damage
steiner - shock->9999 damage
quina - frog drops->9999 damage, white wind, mighty guard

Zidane, Aramant, Quina, Eiko. Quina is underrated, Steiner is better than Aramant but he's annoying so I avoid him, Eiko is the better summoner because of Holy and when the party dies Phoenix has a good chance of coming.

My party is Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, and Freya. It works very well for me.

Zidane, Freya, Steiner, and Aramant definately my favorite but with auto-haste and auto-regen I could have four Vivi's without any magic left and still win.

Zidane, Freya, Garnet and Vivi.

Zidane (nah), Garnet, Vivi, [Amarant or Steiner, depending upon the situation].

Zidane trance is the best! I always have Zidane, Steiner, Vivi (sword magic) and Quina (White Wind goes through Auto-Reflect)

I often try and vary my party when in the plains, but when it comes to hard core story fights, it is

VIVI= Of course

FREYA= Because who could jump that high and still do THAT much damage

AMARENT= Because he's surly and does a lot o' damage

DAGGER= One word. Ark.

[*]Vivi - BLM nuking power, he's designed to hit hard and fast.[*]Zidane - Even though he has a tail, is stealing ability is very useful and he does hit hard.[*]Garnet - WHM power, I never use my summons[*]Steiner - Him and Vivi and very powerful together

Steiner, Eiko, Vivi, and Freya. No real reason for it aside from the fact that they're my favorite characters in the game.

Replying again:

I decided I'm bored so I'd break down my battle preference of every character.

Zidane: P*ssy pickpocket. He's only decent because you are forced to drag him everywhere. He was an awesome character... but in battle... a total loser. Thievery is nice... but he doesn't anythign else to back it up.

Steiner-Blah! Decent attack but why bother with that. No useful battle skills whatsoever. (Please dont' start yelling Shock, shock! at me... I know it does 9999 every time.. but MP cost is way too high. It's just pointless to use) Good "D"... but Auto Regen OR Reis Wind takes care of that anyway.

Vivi- Garbage. Spells cost too much, attack is utterly pathetic... of course that's not what he's used for anywho. The Sword Magic is great early in the game but quickly loses usefulness. (Now I'll hear DoomsDay! Doomsday Sword!!) Both are WAY way way too costly... and Doomsday hurts you cause you gotta equip garbage armor. Flare is okay.. but not great.

Freya- Solid. Does 9999 with a very cheap attack. Good D.. can stay in the back row 24/7 along with that great D. Great skills. Reis Wind especially. Lancer is useful against magic using enemies too. Just an overall solid Role-Player.


Garnet- Shaky. Not great. Not bad. I guess Ark is good if you have the patience... I don't. Atomos is a bad-@$$ however. Can have not quite sorry attack with Tiger Paw or whatever it's called. Decent White Magic...Nothign compared to Eiko though.

Eiko- Wow! You get a Gold Star!!! Marvelous. Much better magic than Garnet. Much better Summons too. Garnet- Life Eiko- Full Life... hmmm. Add Carbuncle, Phoenix and Madeen to the mix and the winner is obvious. Someobdy has been paying close attention in Awesomeness School!

Amarant- Bad A Mofo! Attack is good but not what I'm after. No Mercy...perhaps the second best Attack in the game. Curse- also great. Chakra- weak, but effective. Throw-never used it... Never needed it. He also has one of the bet Support skills. He and Vivi are great with Return Magic. I prefer Amarant for this though for his physical prowlis. Definatley a winner here.

Quina- Unstoppable. White Wind. Auto-Life (pretty much makes you invincible) Bad Breath. Angel Snack. FROG DROP!!!! All-mighty ownage. Plus, none of this can be reflected. so no wasting magic stones on Reflect Null of Reflectx2 or any of that. I dont' think I'll EVER understand the forks... but I don't care. I beat Ozma with Quina alone so I'll always use him/her/it from now on.

So, my party is as follows: Captain: Quina
Co-Captain: Amarant
Healer: Eiko
"6th Man": Freya
