Hey everyone, I couldn't help but notice that everyone seems to hate Algus the most, and not Mustadio. Algus was a bad guy, and played the role quite well. Never really hated him, just wanted revenge against him.
Really what did Mustadio bring to the table? He seemed very weak, and had no good lines and poor charcter development. Often he seemed out of place in the Zodiac Brave Story, the Lion War, so on. He was a very generic charcter.
just my two cents...
Even if you consider him worthless as a character, he's necessary for the recruitment of several optional characters like Beowulf, Reis, Cloud, and Worker 8.
But I found his Snipe skill quite handy, especially when paired with the Chemist class. That being said, he got overshadowed by more powerful characters like Beowulf and Orlandu by the game's end.
Yeah certainly forgot that he was very important in finding all the hidden charcters, so I guess I could see why he isn't the most hated. This guy just seemed so lame to me, I mean what really was his deal? He didn't bring much to the main plots or the underlining themes to the game in my opinion. He just seemed like one of those guys in almost every RPG that you have to really work to tolerate.
From a battle perspective, Snipe was a really nice set of moves. ( It was nice to stone the undead, nice change in the action) But I must add it was a very VERY dirty move set. I mean how unfair is it to shoot someone afar with Don't Act (or something like that) so they can be helpless for the next few moves?
He does seem kind of nondescript, personality-wise. But they can't all be Agrias or Orlandu. At least he's not as derivative as Beowulf and Reis (rent the movie Ladyhawke to see what I mean).
You know that Snipe can be used with any weapon? So you can make Mustadio a Knight and have him Snipe in melee with a sword. But it's most effective with a gun (best range) or bows (it can arc over obstacles).

Well of course everyone is going to hate algus! He's a back stabbing dog and the game portrays him likewise so of course everyone is going to hate him.If u ask me, I hate Dycedarg and Zalbag, Ramza's brothers. Not only did they backstab their own brother(or half brother i should say) but they killed balbanes...THERE ONLY FATHER! Thank god for balbanes' offspring ramza for bringing justice to those puny whelps. Plus, their half the reason why the lion war started.

Who i didn't like the most was the head Priest (Sorry can't remember his name!) , Ramza and crew were constantly being 'distracted' by these idiots... Although those battles with Delita are always great. the biggest hero of all the game was the guy who was willing to give his life so T.G. Cid Orlandu would be left alone. Oh well...The church was very evil and manipulating and probably half the reason the war dragged along.

Meh, I'd have to say my least favorite character would have to be......Algus. He was annoying in that first chapter. I was happy when I finally got to kill him. I usually strip him of any armor and either sell it or equip it to other characters.
Actually, only Dycedarg was responsible for Balbanes death, if I remember correctly. It was, in fact, for that reason that (SPOILER)Zalbag joined you in the initial fight against Dycedarg and died for it when Dycedarg allowed himself to become a Ludacavi. While Zalbag can be held responsible for having helped with the Lion War, I feel he was more attempting to do what he believed was right then working simply for complete personal gain, as Dycedarg was.
I agree completely with you about Algus. He's one of the most immediately hateable characters, and thus can kind of be ruled to be near the top of everyone's lists. All in all, though, the more I think about it the more I think Dycedarg was probably the most "evil" character in the game, even compared to most of the others who would become Ludacavi, in my own opinion.
