me and my friends got together and went on to create the greatest final fantasy battle party and we decided it had to have four characters consisting of one main, a black magic user, a fighter, and curer
the party consisted of
Tidus ff10
vivi ff9
cid ff7
rosa ff4

we chose these by a elimination voting process

what would your ideal party be?

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Cloud (fighter)
Locke (thief)
Relm (black/time/white mage)
Marie (all around "gonna kick your ass character from hell")

Marie is from Final Fantasy 2 of Japan. These characters have got to be the most powerful of the final fantasies pre-playstation. I could have easily chosen anyone else, but shes my favorite from the game. Locke...because every team needs the rogue, and hes the best there is. Relm, for she is my favorite magic character ever. Also--she is one of the MOST powerful magic users. Then there is Cloud, possibly the greatest main character from any game ever. He is in constant super saiyan mode and insane powerful. Also--he is one of the first "dark" main characters.

--------------------

once you can accept yourself, you will never be alone

Well, your basic party consists of two heavy-damage hitters, a healer, and an attack Mage. If you wanted to throw in a fifth one, then a medium-damage hitter.

Though this way, the only ones you can really draw characters from are IV and IX, because in the rest, they way characters' strengths lie is completely variable and up to you. FFI's characters, maybe, but I'm not going to/don't want to deal with that.

So going from that:
Heavy-Hitters: Cecil, Yang, Edge, Steiner, Zidane, Beatrix
Healer: Rosa, Porom, Tella, FuSoYa, Eiko, Dagger
Attack Mages: Rydia, Palom, Tella, FuSoYa, Golbeze, Vivi, Dagger, Quina
Medium-Hitters: Cain, Gilbert, Quina, Cid, Amarant, Freya (Those last three were sort of on the border of HH and MH, so I tossed them in here).

So I guess Cecil, Steiner, Amarant, Rydia, and Selphie (Meh).

Fighter: Sabin
Black Mage: Terra
White Mage: Rosa
Main: Cecil

"Medium-Hitter": either Gogo or Locke

Hmmm Well my team

Fighter-Cloud- his skills and limit breaks have shown me the most impressive fighter you play in a final fantasy to date.
Thief-Locke- By far the most successful and durable rouge I've ever seen in any Final Fantasy.
Healer- Aeris. Again her limit breaks make her more effective than mostg healers. Can anyone say Great Gospel.
Mage- Celes. Runic allows her to replenish herself and she has some nice fighting skills to match.

I can't seem to find the link to the past topic of this similar nature... but in all of these types of threads, I say something like I'd rather have a four person party of pure brute strength attackers... you won't need a curer if you kill the enemy first. So thus...

Kain
Sabin
Amarant
Yang

battle tactics: whenever Amarant trances, use Aura... (auto-revive all), then abuse No Mercy for all its worth. If curing is at all necessary, Sabin can use Mantra or Spiraler if at all desperate. Kain jumps, Yang attacks or uses Bear...

--------------------

"When I turn the page
The corner bends into the perfect dog ear
As if the words knew I'd need them again
But at the time, I didn't see it."

~"This Ain't a Surfin' Movie" - Minus the Bear

To hell with a balanced party. I usually just beat my way through fights, anyway. No finesse.

Auron: His big sword laughs at Cloud's big sword. He's a powerful fighter, and his Breaks come in pretty handy. (And he's such a badass.)
Celes: One of the better magic users, with both offensive and curative magic, and also pretty nasty with a sword. If you used her intelligently, her runic ability would start to make up for having crappy magic defense. (Even though I never use Runic.)
Kain: The ability to hop up and down and completely avoid being hit for about half the fight is a pretty nice advantage. That, and he's a strong fighter with solid defense. (He's usually the only person who never goes down against Zeromus in my games.)

After these three, I can't decide between Edgar (good fighter, cool tools), Tidus (speedy time mage), and Rydia (solid black magic and summons).

As much as I like Locke, I don't rely on stealing to get me through games. I didn't even really start with support magic (anything other than direct healing/hurting) until FFX (when they first started to make it really useful).

cloud was not the first "dark" character, before him were cecil and shadow.

<Nealio> Seymour sounds like evil Winnie the Pooh

Shadow
Yang
Kain
Two FF3 Summoners

Of course, take off a summoner for a four party situation.

Kain-Just 'cause

Locke-Only good thief dude

Cloud-Some FF7 tribute right here

Those with no names know no bounds

I'd have:

Sephiroth from FFVII - That sword is freakin' awesome
Leo from FFVI - His Shock command kicks butt
Edgar from FFVI - Is it any wonder why?
Zell from FFVIII - Fists, Good. Hair? Better.

There's my team. Mine. All mine.

Wow. 1,000 posts.

I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_;

When does Seifer use his fists? I thought he used a gunblade, like Squall. Are you thinking of Zell, or does Seifer start punching people at some point in the game that I haven't reached yet?

no, seifer never uses his fists at all in the game.

he might have mistaken him for zell

Yeah, I mistakenly was thinking of Seifer, when I meant Zelll. Changed now, though. I haven't played it since summer.

Although, it would be pretty cool if Seifer started punching persons...

sorry on the late post, but i just came back to find that a fifth character could be added. therefore i choose to add--Squall. I actually liked his character more than many of the other main characters in the FF games. so now my team should consist of:
Locke
Relm
Marie
Cloud
Squall
a pretty fun team, all in all.

I would like to state that when i said first "dark character" i was speaking in the manner that the DC would also be the main character. However, i realize that i did not make that clear enough (if at all) and that Shadow is indeed before Cloud, yet he is not the main character. However, Cecil is NOT, i repeat, NOT, a dark character. He is a good person, with a golden heart that is manipulated into mastering the dark sword and thereby being a dark knight. Even when he is in that class, he shows remorse for his actions, and all the while wishes to rid himself of the title. And we all know that he does and follows the path of the paladin. This makes him different than the likes of Cloud and Shadow. For the better part of the game, Cloud does not care about anyone save Aeris. And even when he decides to save the world, its only so that he can kill Sephiroth and be done with his twisted path. He never truly cares about many people, he just lightens up.

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Shadow is...just that. A shadow of the man he once was. Before the assassin gig, he was a cowardly train robber. He had to kill his emotions and hide behind a mask so that he could thrive in life. He is what a dark knight truly is and therefore nothing like Cecil

.

EDIT: i looked back on my previous post, and i did state that cloud was the first MAIN DARK CHARACTER. ahem, just thought id mention that

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Here's a nice well balanced group that's sure to get along.

Cloud (FF7) - Ass whooper.
Aeris (FF7) - Healer.
Shadow (FF6) - Sneaky Fighter.
Lulu (FFX) - Black Wizardess.

For a couple back up characters I'd go with Celes and Auron. It would throw in more variety with Celes's magic+fighting and Auron's brutal attack and huge stats.


--------------------

Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!!

*digress* I love you people... *end digress*

Well my perfect party would be...:

Maduin - FF6 (So what, that he isn't playalbe?!? I want him on my dream-team!) - for magic and leadership.
Guy (he certainly looks the name) - FF2 - I always make him a whoopass AND a healer (one doesn't disturb the other).
Kain - FF4 - DRAGOON! BEST DRAGOON EVER! ARGH!!!
Tifa - FF7 - even more whoopass.. and look at her ... *drool*

If it would be allowed I'd exchange Kain for Magus and Tifa for Ayla in a heartbeat...
But that's not FF... *sigh*

Good old CoN

Zell- Beat the crap outta someone

Yuna- Summoner

Aeris-White mage

FF1 Black Mage- HADOKEN! STABBITY DEATH TO ALL!!!!

--------------------

My second daughter, if we have girls, will be named Rikku. I'm not kidding.

Assuming FFT characters are viable in this...

Cyan (FFVI), Celes (FFVI), Kain (FFIV), Orlandu (FFT) and Galuf (FF5).

Yes, Galuf is the man.

--------------------

Blood & Fire

Hmm... I'd have to say...

Cloud: Insanely good fighter... he made Emerald Weapon a joke for me to fight.
Terra: Killer fighter and spell-caster. Plus she can Morph. Need I say more?
Aeris: No need for casting Cure spells, inns, or Elixers... just use Great Gospel!
Celes: Another killer fighter and spell-caster. And can absorb Magic attacks. Imagine Runic used in the other FFs.

Too bad you can't put Crono from CT...

This is my friend and my theory

Cloud ff7
Vivi ff9
Arieth ff7
Sephiroth ff7

You could say we like ff7?

Aye, we can use 5 now? Awesome.
After playing more of the FF games, here's my team of very strong fighters:

Sabin from FFVI
Cecil from FFIV
Cloud from FFVII
Steiner from FFIX
Bartz from FFV

For the all-around party, the one I would choose, I would bring these along:

Edgar from FFVI
Faris from FFV
Laguna from FFVIII
Cid from FFVII
Sabin from FFVI

--------------------

Wow. 1,000 posts.

I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_;

Gau FFVI - Powerhouse physical and magic/blue mage attacker/healer plus high defense and evade
Faris FFV - Powerhouse monk with high strength, agility and vitality
Sabin FFVI - Powerhouse monk with high output blitz attacks with high speed, stamina and defense
Celes FFVI - Powerhouse physical (late game) and magical attacker/healer with decent defense and evade
Edge FFIV - Powerhouse physical attacker with evasion techniques along with high strength, agility and vitality

This group will kill opponents very fast.

--------------------

FFXI (Siren server)
Tauu the Windurstian Tarutaru!
White Mage & Paladin

I'd have:

Main: Cid FFVII
Fighter: Sephiroth
White Mage: Garnet
Black Mage: A BM from FFI

I'd only have Cid as main character cause I just love people with spears and he seams to be the coolest out of all the spear users in every FF that I've played, and of course Sephiroth as fighter cause you really can't get a better one, Garnet as white mage cause not only can she use white magic she can also summon which would be a BIG help, and a regular BM from FFI cause theres only 3 BM's throughout the whole FF series

--------------------

"If Satan is the prince of darkness, then that would make me the KING!"

Fighter-Cyan VI(obviously)
Healer-Terra VI
Bl. mage-Rydia IV( I always thought summoning was soo much cooler than just casting spells)
Main-Cecil IV

I realize that I limited myself to only two out of the many FF games out there, but I cant stress enough how much I hate most of the characters from FFVII and on.
