[General Discussion] Most worthless party members ever!

Oh God, 85-90% of the characters in Chrono Cross were worthless. Coincidentally, most of the entirely worthless ones were also the ones that were extremely odd-looking, such as FunGuy, and that weird flower-child thing, and even Skelly, who had that ridiculous collection side quest just to recruit him. Bastard.

But Trance is right about the Shana/Miranda combination in Legend of Dragoon. The addition system rendered her worthless, since those particular characters wielded bows and only attacked once. Although their healing spells were second-to-none, you couldn't use them unless in Dragoon Mode, and compared to the rest of the characters that felt like a waste.

Ayne, the big giant guy in Legaia: Duel Saga was pretty worthless too. By the time you get him, the old man martial arts master Kazan was already the primary offensive character, so Ayne really served no purpose. In fact, I think you use him in one dungeon to move some concrete slabs around and that's it. He's pretty non-existant throughout the rest of the game.

MOMO was kinda worthless in Xenosaga. Super-weak attacks, fairly weak Ether attacks compared to Shion, and in the first game even her AGWS was weak compared to the other ones, the one saving grace being that she could use Ether attacks while the rest couldn't.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hah, I forgot about Star Ocean 3. Once Maria joined the party, I stuck with Fayt, Maria, and swapped regularly between Nel and Albel. The rest of the cast = worthless.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

See, my CT party was always Crono, Ayla, and Magus. Crono for his Life spell, Ayla for Triple Kick, and Magus for all magic types, since magic weaknesses played a fairly significant role in the game.

Robo and Lucca were always the weakest in my opinion. Flare's a good spell, but her Wondershot caused her to do random, unreliable damage and other than Flare her spells were weak. Lucca's only redeeming quality were the three Antipode spells with Marle.

Frog was...weak after a certain point in the game. He was really really good for a while, but Frog Squash is stupid and his magic is fairly weak, and Crono's swordplay outmatched Frog's. Confuse for teh win.

Robo didn't play a big role in my games either. Laser Spin is a great spell early on because it's the first attack-all spell with little MP cost, but other than that, no good. Not to mention I hate weapons like Crisis Arm. Sure it'd be fine if you could swap weapons during battle, but to have to have that thing equipped 24-7 is retarded.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
