Star Ocean 2 - Ernest. You have to give up an extra main character to bring him along (as opposed to just having to choose between mutually exclusive characters), and his special attacks are complete garbage. He takes so long to wind up for anything that the enemy has already moved or kicked him in the face. He doesn't even really hit that hard, either. It seems like his sole purpose is to dispense two Battle Suits via pickpocketing, which is nice but kinda lame in and of itself.

He's right up there with Chisato. Her attacks were ridiculous and didn't do as much damage as you thought they should.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The party I always end up with is Claude, Dias (i kno lolz), Ashton (Pretty good if you want close range, otherwise Opera) and Chisato. Sometimes Bowman.

But if Ernest is worthless, then sir, Noel is absolutely worthless.

Chisato was FAST for you? She seemed slow to me....Maybe I need to replay the game.

My verdict's still out on Noel...

Claude, Ashton and Opera were my mainstays. The fourth slot was a rotation of magic users/Bowman. I like to mix my short-range and long-range fighters.

(And you CAN screw with the Claude/Rena pairings. I had Rena with Opera...LOL)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sorry, I didn't mean it the way I worded it. It was late when I wrote it. I meant they were ALWAYS in my party when I had them. (That still doesn't sound right, but I hope you know what I mean).

But, there's always been one instance in Suikoden that bothers me. They MADE a character useless. When Kuromimi joins in the battle in the Kobold Village, he's always in the back. He's a short-range fighter and should be in the front. But, no, he's in the back--where he can't do a damn thing. After that, he's fine....

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