Selphie useless? - Page 4

In battle, the only thing that really differentiates the characters is Limit Breaks, and Selphie's are the worst. Full Cure? Nice at first, but Curaga along with Cerberus or Triple magic is more than enough, and sometimes you want to keep your characters weakened. Wall? Just cast Triple Shell and/or Triple Protect - the spells aren't that rare and you won't need to do it that often anyway. Rapture only takes care of one enemy and The End is far too rare to be relied on.

I can't stand Selphie, at the start I actually quite liked her..How wrong I was. I soon learnt how annoyingly useless she is, even her TT card is no good compared to others, BAH!

I don't think she is useless at all. First play through i used her in my final party. Slot is very good if you get the right things

I thought that she was pretty useless at the end of the game. The only thing I used her for was her Full-Cure limit slot. But after you get a GF to learn the Restore ability then there is no need for it. I never used her after I got that ability.

Selphie was definitely second string. Poor Limit, poor attack. I'll admit that she was a good pick-me-up, but that's about it.

Poor attack? How? Other characters may have stronger weapons, but the junction system renders those differences meaningless. Selphie's one of the better attackers since the Strange Vision has 255 accuracy.

Selphie is useless beyond belief. she is weak no matter how much you level her up her weapons are all crap, and she is to happy.

All the characters in VIII are completely useless %D

But that aside, I couldn't stand Selphie, never used her the first time I played, and she wasn't missed. Then I did something stupid, and decided to give the game another chance, and played it again and used characters I hadn't used the first time. And she was still useless %D That 'Full Cure' limit of hers is useful if.....you actually needed to be cured. Half the time I swear when that would come up, no one actually needed to be healed substantially. Like, there would be one character, that only had lets say, 200 hp gone, but they had over 4000 :/ And then her helpful 'Full Cure' would come up. I agree, earlier on it was okay, but I mean, like Gaia Branford said, once you start getting into higher magic and whatnot, it becomes completely useless. Kinda like Aeris's 'Breath of the Earth' from VII. It was nice when there were actually status effects to be cured but.....I swear to God, there never was

Are we playing the same game? Regular stat gains from levelling up are basically meaningless - what's important are stat boosts from junctioning and stat gains from levelling up with stat bonuses equipped. It's the same with weapons. Selphie's ultimate weapon is as powerful as Quistis', Zell's and Irvine's and is the most accurate weapon in the game aside from Squall's gunblades.
