Thread: Most Useful Mage?

  1. #1

    Default Most Useful Mage?

    Which mage do you think is most useful, Vivi, Garnet, Eiko or Quina?

    I find Garnet the most useful. She has powerful magic and a decent amount of HP and MP.

    garnet!
    although she dosn't get all her summons for a while and her white magic is weak (SPOILER)and it is annoying when brahne steals all her magic and when she gets depressed...
    but once shes ok and strong, shes all i use!!!

    maybe i did someting weird with my game, but i beat it with only being able to summon ramuh, lol. neways, so for me personally, vivi would be the most useful. plus him and steiner make a lethal combo.

    Quina, because he/she can decently physically attack:P

    *isn't into magic too much*

    although it was fun whenever garnet was equipped with a racket to attack with her. It was like using a butterfly net.

    White Wind is the only healing spell you'll ever need.

    Once you've caught the frogs, Frog Drop is guaranteed to do 9999 damage every time it's used.

    So, Quina.

    I like my White Magic, and the summons as an added bonus put Garnet on top.

    ~ Quina's a pain in the ass, though useful when it has all its skills. (Having to weaken/eat enemies is a major drag, though, FF7's enemy skill system was better.)
    ~ Garnet is unreliable for reasons already mentioned in this thread, though she does come in handy, especially early on. (Later, Amarant's Chakra, Freija's Reis' Wind, and people using Potions usually gets the job done.)
    ~ Vivi is probably the best; though he's weak physically he has some strong offensive magic and will probably be the brunt of your offense most of the time in the final area (that tree place). Auto-Reflect + (magic)2 on all allies = 9999 for enemy most of the time.
    ~ Eiko's a weak knockoff who is mostly there for storyline purposes and should've been killed off, IMHO.

    Garnet is only really useful when she starts getting her eidolons. Eiko at least has a powerful offensive spell to make up for the sort of lack of offensive eidolons. Vivi is rather useful, as he is the brunt of your offense for the first half-ish of the game. His attack sucks and I find he uses MP way too fast. So the prize goes to Quina. Quina's blue magic is awesome, and I'm doing a playthrough of this game right now and have realized that quite a few enemies succumb to the Frost and Mustard Bomb spells. So Quina can cast Frost on, say, a Red Dragon in the Mount Gulug area. It will freeze, then you can have, say, Vivi attack it and it will die with a single weak attack. Oh it's wonderful. You can get a quite a few good Blue Magic spells early on. A really easy way to defeat some enemies is to kill Quina, and use a Pheonix Down on him/her. If it only gave him/her 1 HP (which has a good chance of happening), then s/he can use Limit Glove and you've won. Quina is cool, not to mention s/he can have a high attack power.

    Am I the only one who thinks Eiko is really freaking good?

    She has better white magic than Garnet, and Holy is just as powerful as Flare and Doomsday.

    Eiko & Quina > Vivi & Garnet.
