    I always rate my chars from how good they are in the end; and Locke is the only char in FF6 who can deal 9999*8 DMG.

    Locke is awesome! Even in the early stages, nothing beats back row and two boomerangs!

    Plus, he's a treasure hunter! What's not to like? Get it right or he'll rip your lungs out

    Can you say 9,999 x 8? I think you can.

    Okay, well anyone could easily do that, but it's just a bit easier with Lock.

    Character-wise...well, he's pretty cool I guess. Much like the rest of the FFVI characters, he has his good old character development. And 'Rachel' is a pretty tune. So nothing terribly bad with Lock. Sure, he sucks at the beginning of the game, but he's not bad at all.

    i agrree with lovehurts. whilst liking locke as a person his attacks are never better than average

    Edgar can use the Genji glove and offering plus cool tools. Lockes steal ability is rubbish, only sometimes works and is at best a waste of a turn. Hes an average fighter and that would be the only reason id keep him in.

    i sometimes try to put him into my team cause i like him, but his abilities are below par. Especially when compared to the excellence of Gau, Strago, Edgar, Cyan, Setzer, Gogo even Mogs is better.

    the only players id put behind Locke in terms of skill would be Relm (cant use her), Shadow (got fed up of him, never liked him), and Umaro (appears too late, techniques weird)

    Blue phenoix; you don't use locke as a raw fighter. Like I said, he makes the best support tank/white mage. Easily. Throw him in the back row with boomerangs *mentioned in this thread already* and equip him with support and white magic. He will have great defence, average attack, and awsome utility. This is a good strat through the game, end game, Locke is a wrecking machine anyway you play him

    Locke wins The end.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    1. Fight until you reach LV25
    2. Equip everyone with ice swords and ice staffs
    3. Attack the boss until he dies a horrible death

    Ok thanks. To be honest locke isnt so bad at attacks right now he seems to be average and actually I think Ive seen him take off 500 hp with his mere attack which is as much as a blitz can do from sabin...so locke actually is starting to look better. Ill go for a level 25. Ill equip ice weapons but only to attack the main blaize because if you attack the smaller ones (sorry forgot names in every ff game too) The can use explode ...and I rather just keep healing strago whos special attack hurts the main bliaze and kills the smaller bomb ones.

    So Ill lv up terra. Doesnt she get anything stronger than cure 1 ?
    When you morph and use ice with her its beautifull..

    Thanks

    Ill lv up to 25. The inns closed but in ff Im always preparred and I have like 27 tents.

    I've never put anyone in the backrow in this game, but that's just me. Namely because when I was like 5 first playing it, I didn't know you could, and it wasn't that hard then, so whatever.

    Cyan is still my favorite character. Locke can be decent, but I don't prefer him. I'd much rather Edgar, Sabin, Cyan, and a random 4th who sometimes is actually Locke, but not usually. I mean, I always use the special abilities because they're so much cooler than just attacking, so a person with an ability like Steal, seems basically useless to me. Another reason I never use say Terra, you can only morph rarely, otherwise it never lasts. Or Celes, Runic isn't very useful. Or Umaro, you never actually control him. Or Gau, rage makes him uncontrollable too. Relm, sketch fails way too much. Shadow's throw can be useful so he's typically the 4th character. Or Gogo cause he can have whatever skill I want. Mog's dance makes him uncontrollable too. So basically that makes Setzer my 4th character, but if I had a choice, it'd definitely be Leo! Imagine, Leo, Edgar, Sabin and Cyan, true physical dominance!

    I typically choose Locke through the various preceding parts of the game so he will know Ice 2 and Cure 2 when I reach that point in the game.

    But as has been said before, use Ice weapons, Ice Magic and Strago's Aqua Rake. :mog:

    I always have everyone, including Shadow, learn Cure, Cure 2, Life, Antdot, Remedy, Regen, Fire, Fire 2, Ice, Ice 2, Bolt and Bolt 2 before entering Thamasa.

    Well, it's not required; I mean, it makes it easier for you, no doubt, but strategy and choice of equipment is much more important.

    If you think you'll manage to LV25 without falling asleep of boredom, then go for it!
