I tend to be a practical person in my game playing and choose the "best" party. I like Fighter/Fighter/Black Mage/White Mage because of its overall usefulness: badass physical fighters up front, and badass magic users in the back row.

So by what standards do you chose your party?
I either pick the 8-bit Theater party or by preference (or challenge). I hate Black Belts thanks to Dr. Unne, so I never use one of those. I've never been a fan of Red Mages since I love using the most badass, highest levels spells in any game where I play a caster.
