Yeah Relm could have been good if she didn't freeze up the game every time you used her. Fake Mustache eliminates the bug? Unfortunately by the time you control enemies, they're dead. It doesn't seem worth the trouble. In some types of games controlling enemies is the coolest thing ever, but not in RPGs.

Relm and Strago were nice additions to the game storywise, and their unique personalities were welcome. When you think about it, the game wouldn't be the same without them, even though they may not be great in battle. If they would have been powerful fighters they would have been perfect. The only way to make them powerful is through a lot of effort.

Most people seem to prefer pickup-and-play characters. I've noticed that a lot of people don't like Gau because they don't know how to use him. That's gotta be the biggest irony of the FF series, since he is an awesome character. The problem with pickup-and-play characters is, their abilities tend to get boring. It's the unique abilities that are interesting and fun to use. Sketch is one of those fun abilities, but it freezes the game Tragic.
