Poor Setzer. You're so cool, but nobody ever uses you because you're shit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, okay, let me elaborate a little.

Setzer's slots ability is a thousand shades of useless. Most of the time you'll get a minute health boost from using it, and an occasional few points of damage. Let's not forget the fact that it can give you an unconditional game over from using it. Stay away.

Plus, his base stats are rather pathetic. Sure, beef him up with espers, but his equipment options and shitty abilities (I just remembered GP rain, which is also a joke) just about cripple him in comparison to every other character.

I guess the Fixed Dice could redeem him towards the end of the game... Actually, no, it's not worth it considering just how lame he is in absolutely every other regard. Worthless ability, worthless stats.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh. Okay, fair call; reading up on it now - the Fixed Dice/Doom Darts/Glove/Offering combo was something I never actually used. It had never crossed my mind that random damage levels wouldn't be cut. :P

Besides, Psycho Cyan > *

Another note: Someone mentioned Suikoden up above. Games with a massive pile of playable characters invariably have a few useless additions; Chrono Cross is pretty notorious here. Turnip is the only one who comes immediately to mind.

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

I just couldn't find any kind of positive use for him. I literally only found him useful in one situation and thats fighting one of the final bosses that drains fuel from you every turn. Even though there were pieces of equipment that could prevent fuel loss, I didn't think of keeping any of that equipment until my second playthrough of the game. Other than that he was practically useless from my point of view.

Also, um what. Level her up enough and boost her HP and she has 50,000+ max HP. Coupled with the fact that she can heal the other gears in battle, she's indispensable in the final stages of the game. Goddess Robe + Chuchu Idol + Ether Doubler = Best. Oh and her ether is non-elemental, so she can take out any elemental enemies (read: many) easily.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
