Do you use Rafa and Malak often?
I use them often. They take a while to get used to, but once you do, you'll like them. It takes strategical skill to know how to use them effectively in their normal job classes. For example, I like to cast where there are not many effect panels, such as the edge of a map. Considering that they don't have great offense, have them subdue the weak enemies or the ones in a critical condition. As long as their magical attacks hit at least once, I'll be happy.

same here.
Yeah, so what, I'm a chick that plays Final Fantasy. Not my fault my dad got me hooked when I was little. Started with Final Fantasy Tactics, and now I'm on Final Fantasy X-2... And I'm only 14!
I barely use them. I just have them just for the sake of having them
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

I've always leveled them up, but most of time I've chosen other units in their place for battles.
At least Rafa has a low Brave and high Faith, so she makes a perfect treasure hunter with Move-Find.
I never choose Malak in place of other units. Sure you can raise his Faith, but both Truth and Untruth skills are too random for me.
Malak's magic actually does more damage with lower faith points. A weird thing I've found out is if you cast Faith on a unit, his magic will do the greatest damage, whereas if you cast Innocent on a unit, it won't do any damage at all. It's another glitch in the game. There are so many of them it's not even funny.

It's not a glitch. That's how the game is designed. Faith affects magic power and innocence nullifies the damage.Originally Posted by MogThief

Actually the game says that truth and untruth skills are supposed to have nothing to do with faith that is why it's so strange.
Pretty sure they are different in that way. Rafas "Truth" skill is treated like normal magic. Higher her faith, more dmg; Higher her targets Faith, also more damage. However Malaks Untruth is the opposite, and in fact if you click on his portrait, he says something like "Untruth hurts those with low Faith. Believe, or you'll pay"- something to that effect. Untruth hits harder on lower faith targets I believe
However, I think what someone was referring to is a bug in that when you cast Faith on a target, Untruth hits them harder than it should (and reversely, casting Innocent makes Untruth do 0 dmg unlike the description says it should do)? I dunno, I haven't used Malak to know if thats true
To clarify the matter, Truth and Un-Truth adhere to different parameters in determining damage. Truth abilities ignore Faith entirely; they are dependent solely on Rafa's MA stat. Un-Truth, however, is dependent on Faith as well as Malak's MA. As previously suggested, Un-Truth abilities are more effective when Malak and/or the target has low Faith. However, should Malak or his target(s) be under Faith or Innocent status, the damage dealt by the ability will be zero.
I got rid of them instantly. I dont like to leave things to chance to often
