[General Discussion] Most worthless party members ever!

Factually, Deni has you by the balls... so while you're entitled to an opinion or something, Gau is still (pre-Final Fantasy 6 Advance) a fucking monster that you didn't quite stumble upon. But don't feel bad, because until I read up on him, neither did I.

How ya doing, buddy?

From a strictly game perspective, story thrown out the window, he's not much to write home about. But you never saw Edward jumping with explosives strapped to himself into anything of worth. That's how you get paid the big bucks, apparently.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Calling party members useless in Chrono Trigger is moot, given how easy it is to break the game early on. Tech grinding makes the game a cake walk.

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

That topic would probably be more engaging. Though picking characters on the lower end of the effective scale in Star Ocean 2 is like pulling teeth in some instances. A Pokémon topic would too... but that's because it's played competitively. I'm not sure I find enjoyment in breaking a static game like Final Fantasy. Yes, Gau is a beast... too bad Final Fantasy 6 isn't that fucking hard to begin with.

The sure fire thing here is that Edward sucks. Really. He does. Can anyone confirm that Gryz sucks from Phantasy Star 4? I'm willing to throw down in that direction.

How ya doing, buddy?

I was kind of glad when she left the party the first time.

In the beginning, that ability can resurrect dead party members. So Demi is actually useful in the beginning if you want to try your hand at killing a Sand Worm or two when you get access to the Land... Rover... thing. She serves a decent purpose given that she's dispensable and can help your other characters power level early on.

On Edward/Gilbert. I get his purpose, it's intrinsic to the story of FFIV. Wish that moment where he wakes your party was the only time he remotely saw combat.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Quistis. Degenerator. Red Dragons.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
