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.

Maybe I was subconciously sexist whilst playing this game but my party has always been the three guys. For sheer firepower I find them to be the best trio available.

We agree on one thing man! Fast Ammo just Killed, so did Zells Armegeddon Fist, and Squalls LionHeart. Anyone we had beef with, went down IMMEDIATELY. Even the Omega Weapon and Ultimecia/Griever.

The first time I went through I used Squall, Zell and Rinoa. The I realised how good Irvine was so I used him instead of Rinoa.
I found it nearly impossible to use Selphie, I don't know why! I think her attack just seemed so slow and it annoyed the crap out of me.

My A team

My Best team would easily be Squall Zell and Rinoa. Zell because his limit breaks kick ass and rinoa because of her wishing star and angel wing. Also i choose Rinoa becuase its kind of wierd that u dont use the character that likes squall and is the character that the game revolves around in disc 2 3 and 4.

ftw...are you serious??? shes as weak as hell, and as annoying to no end.
Wierd... i think not! XD. She may have a point and a lead in the story, but i really had my patience leveled after rescuing her and getting her out her own messes the first 5 to 6 times. It gets rather annoying, and i think alot of FFVIII fans would agree.
I thought she tried Squalls patience as well. So well, that he just went along with whatever she planned. Thats how much of a wreck she was to me, and to the characters that had to put up with her stupid ass. XD

She's definitely not weak in battle. Meteor Wing, anyone?
40 000 to 80 000 damage per turn, and she'll cast Meteor every turn, without using any of the Meteor spells in her inventory.

Zell beats that easily. Squall can beat it, if he uses Lionheart as his finishing move, but that is based on chance. Irvine can beat it with fast ammo, but he'll run out of steam after a few turns. Rinoa can keep on going, and you don't have to keep hitting the "next character" button to try and get the Limit Break option.

I can trigger the LionHeart every single time! You failed to mention that meteor wing is ACTUALLY more random then triggering or trying to trigger the LionHeart. Im dumb proof. XD

Trigger Lionheart every time? How? By bringing him to the brink of KO and piling status effects on him? That could work, but that doesn't change the fact that the triggering of Lionheart is based on chance - the chance simply increases with Squall's crisis level.

The casting of Meteor with Angel wing is random. The casting of Meteor with Meteor Wing - a special version of Angel Wing designed for the continuous casting of meteor - is not, and it works when Rinoa is at full HP with no negative status effects.

Which is? Apart from low HP and negative status effects, nothing increases a characters crisis level apart from having KO'd party members, and crisis level is what should determine your chance of triggering Lionheart.
