Queen's Blood (Final Fantasy Thread)

[Benji]

I've done every combo and just finished Rocket Town, meaning I've got everyone (including Aeris for the brief time she has left zOMG spoilers).

[probablyoliver]

Definitely Aerith, have Cloud be an absolute brute tank, and Aerith needs to be had just for her lvl 4 limit break.

Then, if you've already got second/third level spells, you'll want Red XIII, as with the right materia, there is nothing better than Red/Black Mage Red XIII. If your materia isn't all that up-to-scratch yet, throw in either Barett or Cid, have them be the tank and give Cloud all your best Yellow materia.

... no... Aeris is dying, she can fuck off, I've seen her limits before and don't care about her. You don't need to decide my materia, just my party

[stokeriño]

I tend to end up with Cloud, Barrett and Yuffie in the latter stages of the game. Not entirely sure why. >_>

[Benji]

I love Yuffie but rarely use her. My order of use goes...

Cloud (Obviously)

Barret

Cid

Vincent

Red XIII

Aeris (for how long she lasts)

Yuffie

Cait Sith

Tifa

Come to think of it, I've never done Cait/Tifa combo :-/

[probablyoliver]

Tifa's limit break is the balls, as with the right timing, leveling and equipment, it'll be almost as powerful as Omnislash. Cait Sith is completely useless, he is Fran, Amarant, Selphie and Kimahri all rolled into one big tub of double crossing shit.

[Hugar Twriker Eats Spam]

use cait tifa.... Something new for you.

Amarant is sodding immense! If you were going to name someone at least choose Quina. Blue mages seem to suffer in FF.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Shame too because I liked Quina's character, it was so outright bizarre. Couldn't ever find any reason to keep it in my party though.

As far as FF7 parties go I always go Cloud - Vincent - Barrett - Aeris prior to her death, then I load all my healing materia onto Tifa and go Cloud - Vincent - Barrett - Tifa. Sometimes I change Barrett or Vincent out for Red, Cid or Yuffie but that's only if I need them for any certain reason.

[Whisper]

I am not happy with the lack of Selphie love. Full Cure x 3 = best limit ever. Fact.

[Clawson]

Ugh.....I was gonna take my time with XII but since we've started talking about the classics I feel like rushing through now.

Do what I did, make two saves, one to return to in order to do everything later, and one just to complete the story for now.

Boo-urns. These are people that are always in my main parties in their respective games...

Take Cid and Cait Sith. Not sure why, just because...

I'll accept Amarant and Selphie, they have their uses - but Fran is a useless sack of shit, everything she does is so decidedly average, and Kimahri is without a doubt the most pathetic excuse for a party member ever, which is a shame, because he's a fantastic character. He's just useless, he's weaker than Wakka and Auron, he's slower than Tidus and Rikku and his magic compared to Yuna and Lulu is just piss poor. There's nothing outstanding about him, and there's nothing to use him for other than a quick overdrive boost.

[Skummy]

An NPC in Rabanastre just said something about Spoony Bards. Best game ever.

Agreed, Kimhari should've been the character 'outside' of the sphere grid, in that it was his Dragoon/Blue Magic abilities that should've been his major battling point, instead they put him in the center of the grid and left his stats dedicedly mediocre.

Fran has the worst overall stats of all the FFXII characters and those of hers which are higher than others, other people do far better, for my team she's just an all-round filler, not as good as someone, but easy to call into battle to replace if it's not worth reviving someone.

[Clawson]

So I've decided to beat IX finally. It's been at least two years since I've played a PS Final Fantasy and I forgot how much better Vivi is than any other Final Fantasy character.

[DMN in the House]

I found my copy of IX, now I just need to find my PS1 memory cards.

Some news about Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King, the Wiiware FF.

[Clawson]

Going back to IX may have been my best decision ever. While I may still like XII it's dropping in popularity for me as I realize how much I miss random battles and even the simplicity of being able to run around on a world map.
