Thread: Question about party

  1. #1

    Default Question about party

    Hello! I have a little question. So far I have played with all characters and things went quite difficult. I am going to start over. I have heard that lots of people choose their main party. Should I choose only three characters and make them as strong as possible or should I try to play again with all the characters?

    FFXIV Character

    Mirage Askai (Sargatanas)

    Default

    At the start of the game, it would pay off to use most your characters as they are needed, because they have pretty defined strengths and weaknesses. You'll have a hard time hitting a bird with any other character than Wakka. likewise, Wakka can't inflict as much damage on slower enemies as Tidus or Auron can. Some monsters are very resistant to physicals, and thus require you to use Lulu. As I leveled up, I tended to neglect Wakka and Kihmari, and used mainly Tidus, Auron, Lulu and Yuna.

    Don't bother starting over though. Just level up a bit and you'll be OK.

    Tidus, Auron, Yuna

    The most noob friendly party (and my personal favorite).

    Watch it with depending on Yuna though, there is a lot of underwater action where you can not take Yuna, plus a huge desert crossing where Yuna is missing. Have a backup healer learning some Pray, Cure and Esuna as soon as you can!

    Training Rikku as white mage makes a lot of sense since she can go underwater

    The members I used the most were Auron, Wakka, and Yuna. I don't ever really remember having the need for Tidus, but with the other characters I've usually needed them to kill some sort of creature.

    Tidus is great for getting Haste early. Oh a reccomendation. Once you get Dark Buster, don't use any of wakka's AP. When you get a level 3 keysphere, go towards Drain on his path. He's right near Flare, and not far from Doublecast.

    i had a very different way of doing things

    i got all male characters to go Aurons way

    they all got high hp and strenght

    i got Lulu second level spells then thought her white magic from cura on

    got Yuna to life then thought her black magic

    got Rikku to train bit as thief then made her white/black mage

    and i trained Kimarhi through Tidus' way then Auron then Rikku

    so hes really fast and has good strenght

    Use all of your characters in balance until you get past Yunalesca. THAT'S when you want to start picking out who you want to use for the rest of the game, since the party system pretty much ensures that you will need all of your characters until then.

    I mostly used Yuna, Auron and Lulu.

    That way I have Yuna just attacking with summons and Black Magic
    I make Auron really strong then make him go onto Tidus's path to make him a little bit faster and get haste.
    Lulu switches to Yuna's path to learn white magic (For the bit where you have no Yuna in Bikanel)

    I use everyone equally. I get everyone in the front row to have a sphere level of at least 5, then I switch for the nex 3. I think It works out pretty good.

    You should try leveling everyone equally. What they result to is now upon your hands.

    And like almost everyone else, my dullest character would have to be Kimhari. Only thing that made him useful in the beginning is he's the first to lean Scan.
    Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

    at the start i tend to bring each member into a battle then press triangle to pass the go just to get exp, then switch to the required character to defeat the enemies. however this gets rather dull. i recommend just using the members required but fight more battles before moving onto the next area.
