So what are your character rolls?

[Evolavas]

Character rolls.........ingage.

[Firo Volondé]

Do you mean your favourite fighting styles of each character? If so, I have Balthier and Basch as attackers, Vaan attacker/buffer, Fran buffer/magicker and Ashe and Penelo magickers. Plus everybody knows some white magic.

[Little Blue]

Given that everybody can know the same stuff its hard to assign roles. Still, I tried.

Vaan ~ Attacker with a short sword. Occasionally I use him as a thief, but I get annoyed switching his gambits over when I want him to attack.
Balthier ~ Attacker with a spear + support.
Fran ~ Archer + support.
Basch ~ Attacker with a ninja sword.
Ashe ~ Attacker with a dagger.
Penelo ~ A mage.

Though, as I said, they all know enough magic to deal with uncertainties and to heal each other quite well should something untoward happen.

[JonyH]

Vaan - Tank
Basch - Attacker/Support
Ashe - Support/Healer
Penelo/Balthier/Fran - Revivers (learn Arise)

It worked quite well for me, in situations like megabosses the only thing I changed was that revivers used phoenix downs for speed, Arise sometimes took too long and they would die while casting.

Note: This is due to my style of Vaan/Bach/Ashe - lv. 99, all others 15-25

[Renmiri]

My party had Team A - Magick and Team B - Technique, this way I always had MP for quickening, summoning and healing. Each team had a tank, a ranged weapon guy/ gal and a healer

[Cap'n Basch]

Noting everyone buffs themselves except where an area effect spell can be used, which is done by Basch since he uses the least MP during battle.

Basch - Damage Dealer
Ashe - Support (rarely attacks, when she does, it's ranged)
Balthier - Tank (where appropriate), secondary damage dealing and support

Everyone else is "SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS THE MAIN PARTY IS DEAD, REVIVE OR RUN!".

[Formalhaut]

Ashe

Basch
- Weapon: 2 Handed Sword
- Armour: Heavy
- Job: Deals damage.

Fran
- Weapon: Bow
- Armour: Light

Balthier

Penelo

I generally kept Vaan, Basch and Penelo out if I was fighting a boss or something difficult.

It's interesting how everyones are completely different.
