Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

Out of all the characters, she was the one I liked the least. I didn't care for her cheery happy go lucky attitude either. In fact, I think I only used her when I absolutely had to during missions where the groups where split into two.

However, she does have one of the cool limit breaks, "The End". I've only managed to get it once and its cut scene is kinda comical.

She was cool... But I'd never see me using her as a permanent character.

She was fun at times, dreadful at others. Don't want to call her useless though.

I couldn't stand Selphie at all. When the game first introduced her as kind of a clutsy sweetheart I thought "Ah, this will be cool. She'll be the fun sweet character who manages to shine bright even in dark and troublesome times". lol Yea, she was worthless. I can't stand her... and the fact that she loves Irvine is enough of a reason to blind her, gag her, tie her feet together and chuck her out of the Ragnarok on it's own. >.> She was completely useless. Honestly Irvine and Selphie remind me a LOT of Oz and his hideous girlfriend from American Pie. Not sure why, to be honest.

I can't say I'd be bothered if she weren't in the game, or wasn't playable. Although physically weak, I believe she had her uses; as do they all. If ever she was in my party, she'd just be a general magic caster. I'd probably Draw a lot with her, too. Mainly due to the fact that my main team is always over-leveled, I was able to allow one character to mess around.

So no, I wouldn't consider her entirely useless. Just a bit. ;D

Well their stats are determined by how you junction magic to them.

And I don't think any of these characters are usless since often you have to split them up into two groups of three. So if Selphie wasn't there they one of your groups would only have two characters.

I love Selphies character, heck had her hairstlye in college ^^
I levelled her up as best I could, but she was never apart of my main team. I liked her personality as it gave some relief to the story.
I felt so sorry for her when she discovered her garden destoryed.
