What order did you recruit your party in the WoR?

[Wolf Kanno]

So what order do you recruit everyone back?

Celes -> Sabin -> Edgar -> Setzer -> Cyan -> Gau -> Relm -> Strago -> Shadow -> Mog -> Umaro -> Gogo -> Terra -> Locke

[Spooniest]

I really don't think Celes counts, as she's forced into your party, but the first time I played, the order of the others was determined by the Nintendo Power Strategy Guide I had got from Toys R Us. I think I have a scan of it somewhere, it has all this great Amano artwork.

Anyway, it was:

Sabin > Edgar > Setzer > Cyan > Gau > Relm > Strago > Terra > Locke > Mog > Umaro > Gogo.

You'll notice that I didn't recruit Shadow, and I'll give you three guesses why.

[Mirage]

That usually varies a bit, but I tend to go for the fastest ones first

Celes Sabin Edgar Setzer Relm Strago Shadow Terra Gau are among the first ones. Umaro, Gogo and Locke are usually the last ones to be picked up.

Is it actually possible to skip Sabin? I never tried.

[Jowy]

You CAN skip Sabin but why would you ever do that?

Exact order as Spooniest thanks to being indoctrinated by the same strategy guide. I get Shadow right before Relm otherwise.

[chionos]

Same general concept as Mirage, but specifically the last time it was:

Celes -> Sabin -> Edgar -> Setzer -> Cyan -> Terra -> Relm -> Strago -> Gau -> Mog -> Umaro -> Shadow -> Gogo -> Locke

[NeoCracker]

Celes-> Sabin -> Edgar -> Setzer -> Terra - > Gau -> Cyan -> Mog -> Umaro -> Realm -> Strago -> Locke -> Shadow -> Gogo

This was my most recent anyway.

[Elskidor]

Celes, Sabin, Edgar, Setzer, Terra, Mog, Umaro, Cyan, Shadow, Gau, Gogo, Relm, Strago, Locke

Because you don't like him..... Because you don't like his dog.... and/or you let him die.

On my most recent playthroughs, I really changed up the order in which I picked up my characters. It looked something like this.

Celes->Sabin->Edgar->Setzer->Mog->Lock->Terra->Shadow->Relm->Strago->Cyan->Umaro->Gogo->Gau.

I never use Gau, hence the lack of love. I also always save Gogo and Umaro for later as I don't have to worry about teaching them anything.

[DownDiagonalLeftA]

I thought I was the only one who got Sabin first.

[Greatermaximus]

Including the mandatory three it goes to Mog next for his item that makes the game easier. I go to Terra next. The others vary.

[Roogle]

Celes->Sabin->Edgar->Setzer->Mog->Lock->Terra->Shadow->Relm->Strago->Cyan->Umaro->Gogo->Gau.

Was it difficult getting Locke so early in the World of Ruin before you have enough for a full party to take on the Phoenix Cave?

So you don't get Sabin before Terra? I agree, I usually go for Terra as one of my first 3 optional characters

[Heath]

I've just started to do this in my most recent game, currently:

Sabin -> Edgar -> Setzer -> Relm -> Strago -> Cyan

Probably go for Gogo and Terra next.

Celes->Sabin->Edgar->Setzer->Mog->Lock->Terra->Shadow->Relm->Strago->Cyan->Umaro->Gogo->Gau.

With the moogle charm on Mog, you only need the one team of four. That being said, the real challenge is taking on the phoenix cave so early in the WOR.
