Three Most Used Characters - Page 3

March 31, 2008, 8:16 PM

Not for any sexist reason, but I used the 3 guys (Balthier, Vaan, and Basch) the most.

I started off using Ashe throughout the first part of the game more than Balthier, but when I got to Phon Coast and Balthier's story started to unravel a bit more, I put him in and he easily became my #3 character.

Balthier - thought he was the most interesting
Fran - I dunno really ....
Vaan - his third quickening looked kewl

Fran - She was my long-range attacker, and she looked cool
Basch - Strong, tough... Basically he was my tanker
Vaan - Supporting role mainly, although he was strong so he aided both Basch and Fran

I level my characters equally, so whoever is lowest and not dead is in my party.

I forget who gets priority in equips, though... I know Fran is always first, and Vaan is usually last... XD;;

I use Vann, Ashe and Penelo for the most basic of reasons: They have the best overall stats.

It seems that people use characters based on their role in the storyline. I personally don't care if their character role is deep or not when it comes to battling. After all, it doesn't matter who you use, the storyline won't change.

Balthier = gun
Fran = Bow

I pretty much do that, 'cept for me it's...

Vaan = Sword + Shield
Penelo = Axes
Ashe = Samurai sword
Basch = Great Sword
Balthier = Bow
Fran = Spear

Penelo, Ashe and Basch are pretty much my tanks, and Vaan, Fran and Balthier I use abit more strategically, sometimes making more use of magic to attack, defend and heal depending on the enemy.

I use them all equaly so if I am forced to use my 'reserve team', they won't get utterly raped before the other guys are revived and ready for action again.

I not long ago started a new file. Right now I'm catching up on some side quests, hunts n'shizzle before heading across the Sandsea to Raithwalls Tomb. Possibly the single most boring part of the game tbh

Heres their main weapons and role in party:

Vaan = Swords and shields (Tank, Technicks)
Penelo = Daggers, Bows and Staves (Black Mage)
Balthier = Guns, Daggers and Shields (Thief, Green Mage)
Fran = Bows, Spears (Damage Dealer, Time Mage)
Basch = Greatswords (Damage Dealer, Arcane Mage)
Ashe = Bows and Rods (White Mage)

Balthier (leader) Fran and Ashe

I too took advantage of not having the main character stuck in my party all the time and so rotated the 6 characters evenly so they're all the same level.

- Vaan [the leader]
- Balthier [the 2nd leader]
- Basch/Fran
