Thread: Freya

    Freya was more of a novelty as a party member than anything else, with all those absurd "When the hell am I gonna need these?" abilities, much like Amarant. That just made them more fun to use.

    Frankly, after the whole thing with Fratley forgetting his past, I sorta liked the allusion to, not so much love, but more of a deep mutual respect as honorable soldiers between her and Amarant. Seeing them being forced to work together in the Fire Shrine (and going from "Why must I?" to "Let's rock!" after an insightful speech) was a pretty heartwarming moment, no pun intended.

    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.
    I agree with all of this.
    As with most recent FFs, the main characters who aren't the leading hero and heroine tend to get sorely overlooked by the story. Freya in particular has a lot of history and depth that could've been explored, instead of simply being given a cursory examination. The same's true of Amarant, really, though I prefer Freya.

    I agree with what Heath said. Something I'd like to add though is that Freya's choice of a Coral Ring for the prize for the hunt annoyed me. In my younger days when I always tended to be sorely under-leveled at any given stage in the game letting her win always made the first battle with Beatrix incredibly easy. But it isn't in my nature to simply get my self killed instead of trying to win this big competition.

    Freya was a really interesting fighter to include in a party and her storyline was too abruptly ended.

    Yes. Freya is one of my favourite RPG characters of all time, and the first disc was driven very much so by her storyline (Burmecia, Cleyra, etc.) but then after Cleyra she doesn't receive any more development and I get sad

    How do you get Dragon Quest to do 9999 it's always in the 2000's and 3000's with me.

    I think it's determined by the amount of dragons Freya kills (landing the finishing blow)

    She's maybe not the best, but she's definitely one of the top-tiers. My first time playing through the game I didn't really use her at all, but the second and third time around I started to use her quite a lot, and now she's one of my favourites. She has some killer abilities.

    I barely ever used Freya the first time or second time I played. I thought she was pretty useless. One time I decided to try and level her up and I was suprised at how good she was in battle~

    Yeah, would be cool with some more Freya storyline, wasn't much happening for her outside the Burmecia and Cleyra part. We saw pretty much of her then, though. I also almost never use her in battle, Zidane is a must, then there's Vivi and Steiner who can do the awesome Magic sword together, and the last spot is saved for a white mage. So Quina, Amarant & Freya get left out a lot ;p
