Anyone ever played a game and made a GREAT generic, lets hear it

(I love Generics )

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

Peace sells... but Whos buyin? -Megadeth


You wont be saying that when you get a
lead pipe across the head -James (Darkness Illusions II)

These two are moderately effective (not as effective as a female immortal ninja, but I consider Chantages too cheap if I'm doing a challenge game, ie no special characters, Math Skill, or weapon glitches)

Male Lancer "McDohl"

Ultimate Javelin....Jump
Escutcheon II......Basic Skill
Grand Helmet......Dragon Spirit
Robe of Lords.....Attack Up
Bracer..............Move +3

The ultimate tank. If you aren't in range or have a bad CT for Jump, then Accumulate. His one problem is low Speed.

Female Geomancer "Circe"

Rune Blade.......Elemental
Rune Blade.......Draw Out
Flash Hat.........Blade Grasp
Wizard Robe.....Two Swords
Setiemson........Teleport

Like I said earlier, I don't like using Chantages, but this one kicks plenty of ass despite lack of immortality. +8 to MA stat with a decent inherent MA means 600+ damage with Chihirijiraden EVERY time.

Robe of Lords
Feather Mantle

Battle Skill
Item (Against Undead)

First off, this should be a generic character that you have created yourself and would like to share him/her with us. You may include his/her name,job class, and equipment with a reason to go with it. First off, my favorite created character was a samurai. Mainly because his support and reaction abilties are amazing. Some of you maybe thinking that this is a Marquis Elmdor clone, but this really wasnt based off of him directly. I basically tried to think of what Sephiroth from FF7 would be like if he was on FFT. I really think the Masamune blade goes a lot better with my character, but I gotta take the more powerful sword in the Chirijiraden. I created a samurai named Sephiroth and heres how he ended up.

Job Class- Samurai
Main abiltiy- Draw-out
Secondary ability- Jump
Reaction ability- Blade Grasp(must have high brave)
Support ability- 2 Hands
Movement ability- usually +3 move, but sometimes teleport depending on the level

Weapon- Chirijiraden(ck. spelling) w/ 2 hands obviously
Head- Genji helmet
Armor-Genji armor
Accessory- Genji gauntlets

All this makes my Sephiroth an unstoppable force. Sometimes I play random battles with just my lone Sephiroth for the challenge.

If I'm allowed to use the JP Glitch, then here's my best generic I've ever made:

Male Knight, Virgo
Secondary: Punch Art (monk)

Blade Grasp
Two Swords
Move +3

Chaos Blade
Excaliber
Grand Helm
Maximillian
Aegis Shield
Feather Mantle

PWNAGE

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

Join the Army, see the world, meet interesting people - and kill them.

~Pacifist Badge, 1978

I'm surprised this hasn't come up yet...

Male Monk
Primary: Punch Art
Second: Elemental
React: Sunken State
Supp: Two Swords
Move: Move +2

Rubber Costume
Germinas Boots

This character slaughtered my enemies with extreme efficiency, and definitely has room for customization/improvement. Of course, he was so efficient just with high level Punch Art that Elemental was only equipped because I set it while levelling another class.

Hamedo, how did you equip a shield with two swords? But other than that, I agree, that is a great tank. I've tried the monk with two swords as well. My best generic ever was a replica of Zodiac's stealth ninja, with blade grasp as his reaction. And another, that I'm surprised hasn't come up yet:

Job: Summoner

Summon
Math Skill
Blade Grasp
Magic Attack +
Move Mp +

Faith Rod
-----------
Flash Hat
Robe of Lords
Magic Gauntlet


with all other magic classes mastered, this is extremely powerful. Not as high of magic stat, or speed as could be if you were a wizard, but you can still use summons instead.

Rune Blade.......Elemental
Rune Blade.......Draw Out
Flash Hat.........Blade Grasp
Wizard Robe.....Two Swords
Setiemson........Teleport

I came to post this one myself, except I usually opt for Magic AttackUP instead of Two Swords. (With a Draw Out like that, why would you ever use Attack?) Rune Blade/Aegis Shield is only 1 off in the MA department, and further multiplying your MA by 4/3 far more than makes up for it.

And now for a few I haven't seen in this thread yet:

The Spear-Ninja

Ninja.............Javelin II
Jump
Abandon........Thief Hat
Equip Spear...Power Sleeve
Move+3.........Feather Mantle

The Javelin II's massive damage opens up the option of using equipment for more than just AT bonuses, and the Ninja's speed combined with the Thief Hat lets you land jumps on enemies with a much higher CT than a Lancer.

The Artful Dodger

Monk.........H Bag (if female)
Steal
Abandon....Ribbon (if female)
Attack UP...Power Sleeve
Move+2/3...Feather Mantle

Yes, I'm obsessed with the Abandon/Feather Mantle combo. This one's optimized for theft, as it gets bonuses from both Attack UP and the inherent Martial Arts (even without being barehanded). My preference is a female Saggitarius for equips and maximum compatibility with Elmdor, but you can really use anything. The Secret Clothes would give an extra boost, but by the time you get them all the good stuff is already stolen...

The Necromancer

Priest................Wizard Staff
Yin-Yang Magic
Dragon Spirit.....Flash Hat
Short Charge.....White Robe
Teleport.............Wizard Mantle

The manipulator of life energies -- this one's more of a themed build, but a lot of fun. Toward the very end of the game, you could swap a Setiemson for the Wizard Mantle on a female. If you want more physical offense, you could make this an Oracle with White Magic, and change Short Charge to Two Hands.

This seems very powerful except I don't think that the feather mantle is neccessary because you already have blade grasp. Therefore you could think about adding either genji gauntlets or a bracer for maximum damage. I would go with the bracer since he wont be casting any magic. Other than that, I think hes a very powerful character.

Why thank you, kind sir. When it comes to FFT, I specialize in tanks. I DESPISE magic in FFT, and avoid relying on it at all costs.

My guess is it's a style thing, since that setup is trying to emulate Sephiroth rather than make an uber character.

Ok, you need to calm down because it seems like your getting really worked up about this, I shouldnt even post this because your comments are so rude and childish. I didnt have maximillian and grand helmet on him because Ramza is going to get the best stuff available first. Also, genji equipment is a great match for a samurai. I have Jump because I like the damage it deals out when i cant get close to an opponent. Its more of a preference thing more than anything. It may not be the the best support, but its what I wanted him to have and thats all that matters so you really need to calm down and get a life laszlow.

MY comments were rude? Wait a second. This topic is called "the perfect generic." I read your setup, noticed imperfections, and commented. You're the one getting worked up about it, chief. And I guess genji equipment being "a great match for a samurai" is more important than using equipment that is actually, you know, better. Your call. And I still don't understand why Jump is a part of the setup. You already have an excellent long-range attack with Kikuichimoji, and Jump's delay can be annoying if the enemy's CT meter is too far ahead. But whatever. It's your setup and your comments seem to indicate that no one is allowed to try and improve it.

And please tell me why my earlier comments imply that I have no life?

Dragon Queen

Brave:97
Faith:65+

Javelin II
Venetian Shield
Ribbon
Robe of Lords
Feather Mantle

Jump
Time Magic
Blade Grasp
Magic Defense Up
Move HP Up

Physical Evade:
While Blade Grasp will take care of pretty much any physical attack, the shield and the mantle will be able to block often most attacks Blade Grasp cannot evade. Ninjas won't be trouble since it's highly likely the first attack be evaded by Blade Grasp and the second one will be blocked. Having a lance, the attack range should be enough to avoid any enemy to counter you; this is a must since Blade Grasp won't block reaction abilities.

Magical Evade:
This setup focuses on magical damage reduction since most nasty spells cannot be evaded.

Physical Damage Reduction:
With the odds of receiving a physical hit, this setup doesn't need extra defense beside the Robe of Lords' protection.

Magical Damage Reduction:
Half damage from basic elements, with reduction from 100% to 4/9 damage, most magics will be useless. And if a mage judges better to cast a longer spell since his basics spells won't cause enough damage, it will probably give you an opportunity to use jump and completely nullify the attack.

Immunity:
Like mentioned just above, you can use jump to avoid any non-instant attacks in the game. The Time Magic skillset also allows you to cast Float if you want to protect yourself from rare Earth attacks such as Earth Slash or Earthquake. If you are afraid of any reflectable spells (which mosts magic attacks are), you can always cast reflect to make mages charges at you as if they were berserk.

With the Robe of Lords, you will have plenty of MP to cast spells even being a Lancer. Haste will always be a must to cast often, while Slow and Don't Move will allow you to disable your enemies' effectiveness. I wouldn't recommend casting Quick, but if you are low leveled and slow, it might be a good way of using your MP. Meteor is always useless if you want to take no chance, but casting is is too slow to bother with. With Blade Grasp protecting you from physical attacks while casting, there isn't much preventing you from doing it.

If you take any damage, Move HP Up paired with haste should completely heal it in a pinch.

Drawbacks: Low movement. Limited healing ability. Limited amount of casting.

Nonetheless, this setup ought to kick ass. Another great soloer by me, isn't it?

First of all I started my own post a few days ago and the forum editor must have put my post with perfect generic because the post that I started was called the "favorite generic that you have made". Apparently he felt that it should be under one topic which is fine. I appreciate incite, but I dont like when someone says,"why the hell?" If you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all. All you did was basically criticize, which is really pathetic on a topic like this. Once again, RAMZA wears maximillian and grand helmet. BEOWULF wears robe of lords. And SEPHIROTH will then be wearing genji equipment. Is that hard to understand? Also, last time I checked my samurai wtih Jump can eliminate an opponent on 1 try dealing leathal damage. Kikuichimoji is not nearly powerful enough, but it is effective at times.

Ninja is one of the most speedful class in the game. If you put him a Thief Hat, you can arrive to 13 as Speed, and with Move+3, Move pratically wherever you want. Monk his physically dangerous, so you can just go near to your opponent, use command attack, and attack two time. Hard Hittin' !

Hmm. Certainly effective, but not what I'd do with a Knight. (Probably because I never bother to catch knight swords so I don't have two to give to one character, but hey.)

Assuming we're sticking with Punch Art, I'd probably give up the double chop for Attack UP -- not much is gonna survive an upped Excalibur swipe anyways, and it also benefits your Punch Art damage and break success.

Since that gives you the option of a shield, and assuming you want to keep Blade Grasp, I'd probably go for the Aegis Shield for the high magical evade.

Last thing I'd do different is the armor. Reflect Armor won't help against summons and unreflectable attacks (dragon and hydra breath, etc.), and your now-extreme magical evade does that job anyways. Maximillian just gives you HP, and Knights generally aren't short in that department. My pick, even for a melee character, would be the White Robe to lessen fire/ice/lightning damage. So my Knight variant would look more like this:

Knight/Battle Skill
Punch Art
Blade Grasp
Attack UP
Move+3

Excalibur
Aegis Shield
Grand Helmet
White Robe
Feather Mantle

This is a fun class, but you have to spend some time as a summoner to get enough MP and MA. What sucks is that when I was making this character my PSX emulator formated my virtual memory card.

Basically able to steal anything, and I think I had my best Ninja weapons on her at the time were dual maces of some sort. I basically used her to assassinate all the enemies after stealing their equipment as she could always get behind them and usually kill them off due to her high attack. Add on equipment to increase speed and you're all set.

Hamedo in your case is better than Counter. Infact Ninja has a few HP, and in battle with great level, you can die just in a hit. So you can use Hamedo for attackin' 2 times and responde fire with Hamedo.
