[General Discussion] Most worthless party members ever!

Was anyone in FFVIII really that good? I remember powering my way through most of the game having junctioned something like 100 death onto his sword, so I'd kill pretty much any monster in one hit since it gave such a massive bonus to damage (and there might have also been something like poison or bind on his status effect, so whatever he didn't kill was pretty much dead in a turn or two). I remember getting almost to the end of the game and having Selphie around level 10 just because of that one spot where your team had split into two and I had to use her there.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So using a broken combination on a shitty character making him not suck is a way to make a character non-worthless?

That's like saying Marle can be a decent physical attacker if you only save up all of your power tabs to dump into her.

To me a character is fairly worthless if you have to do a lot of work tweaking their initial stats in order to make them party-worthy. Of course, I've always been a fan of games like FF2 where you're stuck with whatever sort of character the game dumps on you with very little customization so it's more about tactical decisions during battle than figuring out a way to abuse game mechanics.

Ever heard of the 'Joker Doom' glitch? It will kill EVERY enemy/boss in the game in one turn. It takes a bit of work to get good at it, but damn its effective.

Or you could just use Vanish and Doom/X-Zone and not need a one-trick pony in your team.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, you could always give him the Imp outfit. I think that managed to make just about anyone pretty darned strong.

Forsety, the thing is, unless you gave him that set of equipment that you got really late in the game he was pretty useless. Most other characters in the game could be pretty sweet at any time through the story, but for Setzer you need that set of stuff.

Then again, I just have uncommon taste in how I like games, so I figure it's just a different in preference for how games should play that makes certain characters crappy and not if they actually are or not.

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

I found Ayla to be pretty good later on in Chrono Trigger once you levelled her up high enough to get the various fists. I think my final party is usually Crono, Ayla, and either Marle or Frog.

Also, when you get captured onto Daulton's flying fortress Ayla is the best thing ever, since she doesn't use weapons. If you're a high enough level she can take on battles by herself and you don't have to bother with any of that sneaking junk.

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