Basch or Balthier

[mobkon]

Balthier is a little fruity if you ask me. Cool character, but Basch just just beats him out in overall awesomeness.

[Aya Nekoneko]

I love Balthier's character but I use Basch as tank so in my game, Balthier (along with Fran and Penelo) played second fiddle to Ashe, Vaan, and Basch.

If I ever start a new game I'll use my second fiddle characters as my main crew that time around (I'd feel bad neglecting Ashe tho--I just adore her). xD

[Renmiri]

Vaan, Basch and Baltier are my high HP, high hitters party. I use the girls for healing and fliers since my Fran has a killer bow

[Melodies_of_life]

I really don't use either one of them. My main and highest hp party are Vaan, Ashe, and Penelo and they really kick butt at it. I am trying to keep everyone all on the same level, but as to which one ( Basch or Balthier ) is my favorite...........um.......... I really can't make up my mind about which one is but I do like them both.

[Tempest]

I use both in my main party but, I use Balthier when I level up the other characters, so he is a few levels higher then Basch.

[VeloZer0]

Everyone is mostly equal at everything in this game so you should definitely go with whatever characters you like the most for storyline reasons. (On of the things I do like about this game)

I am partial to Ashe, Balthier and Basch. I never really got attached to Fran, and I despise Vaan and Penello.

And for the reference Balthier > Basch for all times in the game except *ending spoiler* (SPOILER) at the end where he cuts his hair, shaves and becomes a judge

Balthier, Ashe, and Vaan are my main party. Basch is the replacement if one of the three gets K.Oed.

[Timerk]

I am leveling everyone up together, but I have a first and second string.

Basch and Balthier are both on dps.

Basch is first string, Balthier second.

I totally have no reason for why it ended up that way.

Well Vaan is the only character you KNOW it will be always on your party. All the others leave and come back at random in the game, at least up till the Sandsea.

So Vaan I keep a bit stronger than the rest, which I am going for balance mostly. Although I did make my girls more healer / magick types and the boys the high HP / attack strength type. Stereotyping I guess...

Well Vaan is the only character you KNOW it will be always on your party. All the others leave and come back at random in the game, at least up till the Sandsea.

The Sandea is only a few hours into the game. In reality, the party becomes stable rather quickly for this type of game.

i seperated my parties into 2. First is Vaan, Penelo, and Balthier, and theyre kick ass.

But Basch, Fran and Ashe are good too.

In the end my vote goes to Balthier, hes so chill.

[pantsofpower]

I try to use all of my characters equally, but if I were forced to choose I would choose Balthier.

[Dell]

HP: Basch --> Balthier
MP: Balthier --> Basch
Strength: Basch --> Balthier
Magicks Power: Basch --> Balthier
Vitality: Balthier --> Basch
Speed: Balthier --> Basch

Tie. I prefer Basch in terms of battle and stat. Basch+Axes+Shield=Unstoppable Killing Machine.
But Balthier surpasses Basch in terms of personality and character.

[Sephiroths Clone]

thats exactly how i have my Basch set up

[Renmiri]

Bash's quickenings are cooler than Balthier!
