    Default Freya

    I really wish we got to know a bit more about Freya. She had a unique personality and was possibly the best character in battle, IMO. Who agrees? Yay or Nay?

    I never used her. My party was zidane, dagger, steiner, and vivi. Eiko came in when dagger was dead/dying. Steiner was replaced by amarant or Quina. I never got around to messing with freya.
    My past, a haunting aura of what to come.

    My past, the betrayals hanging overhead.

    My past, a hand stained with the dried blood of my victims.

    My past, a grim checkpoint to my future and my Destiny.

    Freya had quite a dark storyline, with tragic things happening. She was very useful later in the game when her Dragon's Crest skill had been powered up. It always does 9999 damage, even if the enemies are protected or Freya is under status ailments. For example, the damage done by Steiner's Shock is greatly reduced when the enemy is using Protect, or when Steiner is under the Mini status. Dragon's Crest doesn't have this issue.

    I didn't really think much of Freya, my main party consists of Zidane, Vivi, Dagger and Amarant. I suppose that it would be nice to see Freya's past, I guess that the only really thing they show about Freya's past is Sir Fratly.

    What makes you think so? If it was the comment about her being with Sir Fratley, then just for your information, Freya's female, so there's nothing gay with that.

    I always liked using Freya. And she had an interesting background in FF IX, She was a great character.

    i used freya often in my team, dragons crest once powered up does 9999 damage once no matter what, and she has an interesting story, wish it was carried on a little longer.

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.

    Freya seems so vain and/or crazy if you name her "Fratley".

    Dragon's Crest does rule, though.

    Hell yeah i use Freya in battle. about her past, i think we're given just enough, not really that big of a problem. But yeah she's really versatile, you can push her to be more of a red mage or just a straight up dragoon.

    If it wasn't for Vivi, she'd be my favorite character. She could be a support character or a main attacker or whatever you want to do with her.

    How can she be a Red Mage? She doesn't use magic >_>

    When I first saw Freya I thought she was a red mage. I mean, she was wearing red, she had a funky cap with what looked like a feather. I thought that it would be awesome. Then when she turned out to be a dragoon I was like... AWESOME!!!!!!

    Anyway, yes I do like Freya. I use her lots in battle and I don't like it in disc two when she leaves because then in disc 3 she is grossly underleveled, just like Steiner. She has great moves, Reis's Wind, Dragon Crest and Jump. I used Jump alot in the Necron battle just so she avoided Grand Cross.
    I felt her story could have been done better though it was really good, I would have liked a bit more to it as it has great potential. Oh well, we can always hope for a sequel for a game that deserves one.

    I found her rather boring. She had too much good sense and maturity. In battle, she was pretty useful in my earlier days but I don't really use her as of lately

    Sadly I always find Freya to be one of the characters that doesn't seem to slot into my squad naturally on disc three onwards, so I generally have to make a conscious decision to include her. Having said that, she's a definitely one of the most worthwhile characters to use in battle due to skills like White Draw and Dragon Crest.

    I've always liked Freya the most out of the playable characters because her storyline gave a lot of reasons for Freya to continue on with the quest and to defeat Kuja. Her theme music is awesome and I think she was generally an entertaining character during the first two discs, being sadly neglected on the latter two.
