BB isn't going to be counterattacking any time soon. FF1 don't work like FFV.
But I'm thinking here, for a second, which is something I really shouldn't be doing- but you can't stop me!
Where am I?
BBs?
Dude's get a defense benefit when they level.
The primary problem with the punks, of course, is that they die too much. But what if you could maintain the glitch perk? The glitch returns to normal every time you access the armor menu.
So- To the point:
If you had a party of 4 BBs, and you never ever accessed the armor menu, would your BBs be strong enough, defensively, because of the glitch natural armor bonuses, to make it through the game far easier than if you went ahead and used ribbons and bracelets and such and cancelled out the benefits early?
I hope that all makes sense. I don't even rightly eremember what the glitch does, but I recall it sounded cool.
Note: Of course, this stupid and probably false theory only works/works best with an ALL BB party, since other characters require weapons and armor and are not privy to the glitch.
Note2: Yes, I know that 4 BBs is a horrible party and is probably some kind of deplorable word, but I'm bringing this up anyway.
