Shall I bother getting Quina?

[Beclem]

I'm re-playing FFIX again and just left Lindblum.. I'm contemplating whether to get Quina or not, because although she's extra help, I find the character quite bland, and it's extra work levelling it up.

What do you think is best?

[Polyonymous]

I would get quinna, s/he might not be the best with physical damage because it's random, but his/her blue magic is worth it I think. And besides, if you don't get quinna, you can't get lvl. 5 death which will help out tons when you want to level your characters.

You have to get him/her anyway.

So I'd wait until later so s/he'll be a higher level when you recieve her/him.

I was under the impression that characters that you pick up along the way are at the same level as the rest of your team. For example, everyone was at Level 15 when I entered Lindblum and when I picked up Freya, she was at Level 15.

Quina is awesome.

she's good, but not my best (IMO). I saved room for that fox chick (sorry can't remember her name) so I would have an extra white mage around the second time I played it. But yeah, she was good the first time around.

btw, I always thought quina was a she. not to be off subject, what gender did you think he/she was?

[eestlinc]

Eiko is the fox chick. :moose:

we have a Quina gender thread already

The first topic in this post makes me sad.

Uh huh. Which is why I made the comment in the first place.

You arrive at Quina's home again later in the game when your characters are level 30, not 15, and when you recieve Quina, s/he'll be level 30.

Don't you mean "The first post in this topic makes me sad?"

Anyways... Quina is by far the most powerful character in the game. Yes, I'm serious... THE most powerful! Quina's stats are high, compared to the other magic-users and he/she has the most powerful move setup in the entire game... which includes the most powerful protective spell in the game (Mighty Guard), 2 attacks that can do 9999 dammage on any foe (Limit Globe and Frog Drop), the most powerful "bad status move" in the game (Bad Breath), the most powerful "bad status recovery move" in the game (Angel's Snack), a move that kills one of the most powerful monsters in the game, Grand Dragons, in 1 singel hit at any level (level5 Death), a very powerful curative move that effects your whole party (White Wind) and finally... Quina has the all powerful and superior move known as Auto-Life.

On top of all this, Quina is by far the funniest character in the game.

You have to get him anyway. Plus you need all the help you can get when fighting that bloody Gizamaluke.....damn thing

Which can, infact, be killed in 1 hit by Quina at level 1.
