Is there anyone here that actually likes her? Why does everyone think she's an airheaded ditz? I like her, and I never found her airheaded or ditzy at all.

Marle's great.
Who thinks that? She wasn't all that bright in the beginning of the game but she developed and became sharper. She was a princess and she wasn't very old either. Makes sense that she wouldn't be sharp as a tac.
I also think she has the best double techs in the game. From attacks to healing spells. She works great with everyone!
Marle is one of my favourite female characters, I have no complains about her.
I had nothing against Marle. She was a bit ditzy but she was really passionate as well when the game's story began to develop around her and the pendant. She was a permanent character in my party along with Crono and Ayla (not the best combination, I'm sure, but their Triple Tech looks really cool. I forget what it's called.)
Marle was usually in my line up, so shes okay...
Final Kick. Great combination.Quote:

No, I don't find her ditzy. She has her moments (calling a robot Robo, how original, *blech*), but she appears to me as being kind and compassionate more than being actually airheaded. She's also the heart of the team, along with Crono. She's the one who suggested they go and try to stop Lavos when you find out the truth in 2030AD, and that's something that requires guts.
I always name Robo R66-Y, which she still thinks is much better than his original serial number, R66-Y :D
In any event, I rarely use her, but I don't mind her, per se. She does have a good amount of depth to her.
I try not to use marle when I don't have to. Firstly I find all her spells useless when after every fight I get a lapis or some form of tonic. Her ice spells aren't too good and I refuse to use her combo techs.
Lack of an ultimate attack spell turned me off from her because I don't really use dual/triple techs a whole lot. As a character she is one of the most dynamic of the game and that is always refreshing to see.
Two ultimate attacks in a party is plenty, when the third person has Life2.
Marle was... ok. She made me laugh a few times and her Techs and magic are really good. Especially when you don't have much MegaElixers. :)
Chrono, Marle and Lucca were my default team. I thought Marle was pretty cool. Sure, not having a spell like Luminaire hindered her effectiveness, since three spells like Luminaire, Shock and whatever Magus' was (it's been a while since I've played) will always outdamage a triple tech. It shouldn't be that way, and makes comboing all but useless, unless you're forced to party with characters like Frog and Marle who lack the end-game killing power other characters have.
Life2 is nice but after your first playthrough it's kind of hard to die, and even before I don't remember dying all that much.Quote:

I love Marle :p makes the game much funner to have a character like her around.
I think Marle is a great character, and essential on the first go through. After that....as a playable character, she does lose her lustre (But Poyozo Dance is not bad....)
Marle is hot.
I rather liked her. Using ice sword and it following really helped me, and plus, she was fairly good as a character.
Yeah, and I didn't think Marle was an airhead. She was naive, sheltered and headstrong, most of which were cultivated by her life protected in the castle. But yeah, as the game progresses, she definately matures, and sharpens up.
Marle and Lucca's Antipod 3 is rather good though, that and Luminaire in conjunction can do some serious damage. And if you are in need of healing, you can just have Lucca cast Flare, which also puts out a lot of damage.
For me Marle was NESSARY on first game and useful at other times.but when i need pawer i get crono :magus: and frog.thats my :thumb: party!
DO NOT DIS MUFFINS! :roll:
Lucca is my goddess, but Crono, Marle, and Lucca are my favorite team... As far as female leads go, Marle could have been a lot worse... I thought she was coo' without an L!
point takin. Who doesn't like (SPOILER)Flare rigggggggggggggght!
fear the spork!
Marly's cool, but I never used her that much I thought there coule be better parties w/out Marly, sorry.
I never took Marle out of the party. I thought her real name was weird until my dad actually named his kid Nadia even though my sister's name is Sadia.
I keep her in my party most of the time. Ice sword2 and antipode3, plus haste and life 2. Nice spells. I called her Nadia instead of Marle after I finished it the first time though, it's a much better name :). I also call Frog Glenn, and Robo R66-Y or R2-D2.
The only names I've changed are:
Marle-Nadia.
Frog-Glenn.
Robo-R-66Y.
Magus-Janus.
I wrote the walkthrough and most of the CT stuff on the main site, and I say Marle is great as a player-controlled character, but completely idiotic dialogue-wise. MY party was almost always Crono, Lucca and Marle for ultimate arse-kicking, except when you were stuck with some other character. Honest to god, look at Marle's lines in the game and you'll see just how stupid she is XD Ask yourself if you'd ever be seen saying such things and you'll realise she's as thick as two short planks XD
I use all characters equally absed on what part of the game I'm in. That's to include Marle. Script means little to me as I usually rephrase what the characters say to fit more into the personality I put into the character as well as to not make them sound so stupid. I do that with all text driven games.
