Oh, I'm sorry Nyara. xD

Well, Ming-wu is just plain awesome. He comes to help you and you're all weak and he has all these nifty spells (most of which you'll never use, but still), and you're all 'O_O'.

And his [/spoiler] death scene is pretty neat, with Ultima and everything. Unfortunately, it turns out it wasn't that much of a helpful spell...[/spoiler]

Leila's the precursor to Faris in FFV, my favorite character in that game. She's pretty awesome too, and she attacks with daggers! What more do you need? And she has a Thunder attack to fry the many watery monsters you'll encounter when you use her boat.
