"Banon Fell" ARRRG!

[Edgar]

Actually, you should put almost everyone at the back row, I mean...

Terra --- she uses Magic. Morph doubles it. Unless you want to use Atma Weapon then, oh well.

Locke --- he can use 'back row' weapons and I don't think capture affects his damage at back row. I rarely played Locke.

Edgar --- Tools. no effect.

Sabin --- Blitz, no effect.

Shadow --- Throw, no effect.

Strago --- Lore, no effect

Cyan --- Swordtec, no effect.

etcetcetc...

The only people I find a need to place at the front line are Gau, maybe Gogo, maybe Umaro. That's all =\

Yes, If you want to pay a lot of attention to normal battles, and have oodles of mp to waste or a boatload of shurikens. Which reminds me, why have shurikens become so pathetic? They first appeared in FFIII, where a finite number of the expendables appeared in the entire game but they could be used to cream the enemy. Still powerful in VI and a little less in V, they're terrible in everything else. Oh poo.

dude, for the blitz thing I had to do the vargas part 3 times on my second game because pummel wasn't working... ARG! I kept restarting cause it didn't work. I got sooo angry.

You could buy all the shurikens you wanted in FFIII, in a hidden shop in Eureka, and they were so powerful (and expensive) because they were weapons exclusive to the Ninja, one of the game's two ultimate classes. FFV had no "ultimate" classes (except maybe Dancer), so of course Ninja and their shuriken weren't as powerful. This continues in FFVI and onward: shuriken aren't as powerful because the Ninja in later games have never again taken the position of power they had in FFIII.

Yet somehow her brother knows how to get past him without Blitz. O_o

This is the first time I've heard of anything like this! Ask him how and PM me.

[Flying Mullet]

nope not me! not because i,m good, cause i read the bestiary before play and found out 2 put everyone back row. muwha ha ha lol.

Yeah, I prefer not to cheat like that

Plus when FFVI (FFIII) first came out there were no such things as strategy guides. You had to wait for gaming mags to include a strategy guide in their monthly mags in four/five part series. So when you first played a game you were on your own.

Not true, really. First time I played it I had the Mynocks guide to go by. It was about 6 months after the game came out though..

Yeah, that's true, there were guides that came out for the games, but they were never released simultaneously with the game back them. It's a good mponey-making strategy really, make some parts of the game so difficult or make some of the quests' pre-requisites so asinine and confusing and people will buy the strategy guide as well to figure it all out, as they pretty much have to.

[DJZen]

I definitely remember the FF3 (as it was called back then) strategy guide coming out. I woulda bought it but I had so little money then that I spent it on the hat instead. I wonder whatever happened to that hat...

[Celes]

Every time I play ff6, I forget about putting anyone in the back row, until the fight with Ultros. But after the fight with Ultros I usually keep everyone in the front row, there isn't much need to put anyone in the back row later on in the game. :mog:

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I just let him kill Terra instead. Banon usually survived.

[The Man]

I don't like wasting all those phoenix downs, so I just do the back row stuff. It's not like it makes much sense to have her in the front row anyway, I mean it's not like you'll be using Terra as an attacker very often.

[eestlinc]

for that matter, Nintendo Power made an entire issue that was the Final Fantasy strategy guide. That's why I bought the game in the first place: becuase the guide made it look really cool (which is was/is).

also, props to Kishi for the Dancer comment.
