Final Fantasy: Top 10 Useless Characters

[@Darkkefka]

Guys listen. YES!! I KNOW!!! Vincent's Death Penalty has a OHKO glitch. Anybody who's ever played this game knows that glitch. I specifically stated in the video, " it takes a long time to power this thing up." By the time you power that weapon up to that point, I could have Killed Emerald Weapon over 50 times. And it doesn't even work on Ruby weapon. Why is this so hard for you to understand??

[@allisonshirley6375]

Darkkefka hey, I'm replaying FF10 HD. I'm on the calm fields or whatever the fuck they're called. Where can I get steal for Kimahri? I need those lvl. 3 spheres.

[@hatzuling]

Look at the sphere grid and find steal. I believe you should have Rikku by the time you hit the calm lands, so it should be easy to locate. Now farm with Kimahri until you can get him to the steal sphere and learn it. That's how the game works. You "level up" your characters and learn abilities by running them through the sphere grid

[@Greatermaxim]

All is all it's a guessing game. Surely you will find characters more useful than others but another challenge is to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Trying to win with something weaker tops peoples lists.

[@mahmoud6843]

The saddest thing about Kimahri is that his setup depends on the player’s choice. The only thing that belongs to him specifically is Lancet and its pretty useful in the early stages as you can get a lot of useful overdrives like Stone Breath and Bad Breath. But when Rikku joins the party he pretty much becomes useless. The best way to use him is as a thief to get the sphere grids when he fights Biran and Yenke.

[@ryanblackmore8033]

Oh my God, I got brutally stuck at a boss midway through VII when Vincent transformed into his fire limit... on a boss who absorbed fire.

[@FragmentedR_YT]

Lol, I did the exact same thing. You’re probably talking about the materia keeper (I think that’s its name), the first boss you fight after the earliest point you can get Vincent in the party. It really is stupid that the game actively discourages you from using your brand new character right away with that boss.

[@maisaranki6236]

Kimahri can be taught to be pretty much any kind of fighter from the start because he has access to pretty much everyone else's sections of the grid, but because he starts going there later than people their own sections, he'll probably lag behind them. The thing is that his base Magic is higher than Lulu's, so he works wonderfully as a mage. I taught him black magic, used Black Magic Spheres to teach him more powerful spells that Lulu had already learned and managed to teach him Doublecast before Lulu or Yuna, so he actually turned out to be a complete game breaker throughout the story. Especially after Bikanel because he could hit hard with his spells and also use Al Bhed Potions to heal. Well, that and the fact that he could be taught Steal and Use early on, as you mentioned. Although once you get the airship and start doing optional stuff, yes, he becomes pretty much useless and his Overdrives do suck. Except Nova, if you get it before you can reach 99,999 with the others' Overdrives.

[@alexninten8818]

That was how remaster play through went.

[@fabul0u519]

I always thought it was apparent (at least to myself it was) that he was a jack of all trades, but a master of none type of character. At least until you train him up to be a master of what ever you wanted. He was always in my main team. Kimarhi, Auron, and Tidus where my "A" team. ^_^

[@TlEySnLeYlN]

I just stuck evade & counter on Auron and had him in permanent cover, he was my main sweeper until omega dungeon. and not sure if it was a glitch, everytime he went to cover an ally he dodged it which triggered his evade & counter, so not only was he hitting hard very quickly from cover counter combo he was also dodging everything and taking no damage

[@lisasemarron5413]

I still use him

[@alexninten8818]

Auron and Lulu are too slow to use I once switched Auron in to use the overdrive with all the status effects on the final boss but he was so slow that I wasn't able to switch him out before being killed

[@JOC9271]

I had a feeling Cait sith would be high up there. I have only discovered one use for Cait sith. his dice limit break actually is useful for speedrunning but that's it. I do indeed plan on speedrunning that game the next time I stream so you will see what I mean

[@nesoukkefka1741]

You can actually manipulate his second Limit, once you get how to do that he is actually OP and can One-Shot everything in the game, so personnaly I think he is more like Kweena and Rikku a very strong character which is very underrated, tough like DK with Kweena I don't use Cait Sith because I don't like him at all.

[@totalmadness3561]

JOC217 supposedly, there is a set up to allow Cait's slots to always destroy the enemy (it involves auto-reviving after death joker). Also, it got better in FFRK, where its a dancer and bard.

[@lisasemarron5413]

When I first played FF10 I did not really use Kimahri. Now I use him alot.

[@TheAzulmagia]

How is Vivi one of the most useless? He's consistently one of the best characters in the game.

[@lightningshy5287]

Nobody’s calling him a bad character, but being a great character doesn’t necessarily mean being useful in battle. I do have to disagree with him being the most useless character in 9 as Amarant is undeniably far worse than anyone else.

[@slightlyaltruistic9470]

What's funny is that if there was no damage cap, Kimahri would be the most consistent person to deal tons of damage (Max Magic Nova overdrive and crit deals near 5 mil.)

[@Darkkefka]

yeah..it's a shame. That would have been nice.

[@slightlyaltruistic9470]

Darkkefka Yeah. Kimahri just got the short stick. His Celestial Weapon didn't save him from being always shafted, either. At least he's incredibly helpful early game, especially in NSG, with the second highest HP and having Piercing.

It was entirely based on his experience with the character and the game. Anyone that make Top 10 video always make it with their own personal preference, except some of WatchMojo's Top 10.

[@aidankeogh9994]

In The After Years, Edward's actually an awesome party member, beating out even the best of the games' White Mage's as a support. He can Salve items like Dry Ethers to restore the MP of every party member for price of one Dry Ether, and items like Phoenix Down can work the same way. Not to mention Bardsong, which has a chance of casting Shell and Protect on all party members at higher levels, and Hastemarch which casts Haste on all party members, both of which requiring no MP. He's no longer forced to hide when his HP is low, making him very handy for the many hard-hitting superbosses. If everyone else gets KO'd in one attack, Edward can come back, and thanks to his great speed he can Salve Phoenix Downs then some X-Potions for the whole party. Not to mention that his passive Item Lore ability doubles the power of items. He's not broken like he can get in the original game, but he's still easily one the best characters in the game, and I use him gladly over any White Mage. Again, just in The After Years.

[@reloadpsi]

Yeah, in After Years he's a complete badass. While the rest of the game callously recycles plot beats from the original game and wastes a ton of your time doing so, for me it was totally worth it to see Edward's growth. His and Kain's arcs in that game were the two things that felt truly new. And that scene where he stood up to Kain's dark half, holy shit. Balls of steel.

[@TrueChaoSclx]

On the topic of most useless characters, how about a "Top 10 Useless Summons"? That should be fun Can already think of one: Carbuncle in FF8 (reflect is such a useless status in that game, there's pretty much no reason to EVER use it)

[@Rikkusen]

Awww Selphie is one of my main characters to go to. Full cure saved me when I was in a pickle and the chances of getting The End may be hard to get but when you do on a boss without freezing the game it's awesome. I've got it before the 3rd form died and then was used on ultimicia and she started talking which means she does already. Also, in FF8 I use all the characters evenly...junctioning everyone with GF and stats and fight ultimicia with any 3 characters she picks first.

[@truindividual]

Lulu is a mage but then again so is Yuna and you can have her learn black and white magic so yes, Lulu is quite uslesss to me.

[@kipritchie3870]

I don't know, man. I thought the same thing the first time I played the game. I thought Lulu was great as well. Over the years, I've realized it is the opposite. Lulu is useful for a portion of the game, but her reliance on offensive magic makes her weaker. Rikku or Yuna can get her key spells with other spheres and then do other great things. You could argue that she could do the same with their spells, but she is much slower than both of them. Now, Kimahri's limit is junky compared to most others in the game. However, he starts very close to Titus on the sphere grid. I don't think many people would contest that Titus is the best in the game, whether you're talking the normal game or going to max out your characters. His speed and strength are essentially equal to Titus. Kimahri can quickly get in Titus' path and get everything he gets, just about 10 levels behind. So, double delay attack can make it so many early bosses never even get a turn, double haste + quick attack later in the game means you get about 20 turns before the enemy gets one. It's nuts. If you're going to max your characters, Kimahri loses it over time since anyone else gets the same benefits and his limit weighs him down. Either way, he's not even close to the worst guy in the game, and even further from the top 10 worst FF characters.

Zell gets Armageddon Fist, Quistis is the Blue Mage (and this was the era where Blue Magic was insane), Irvine has Fast Ammo, Rinoa you can pretty much rig to have stupid chances of getting Invincible Moon or Wishing Star (and even if you don't there's always Meteor Wing), and Squall's Squall. Selphie? ...Your best bet later on is to que up Eden and Bahamut, then hope you get something during those animations. She's awesome when she strikes gold, but.... yeah, even I'll admit she's too random compared to the other five. Overall, solid list.

She does actually have some other bands she can use that don't require Edward to be in the party, but they require having Rydia, Izayoi, and either Leonora or Rosa in order to actually use the bands, and even then they don't really seem that useful.

[@JessiV2]

We're going to have to agree to disagree on Vivi. He was one of my main party members. But as you said, it depends on HOW you play.

It's a shame really as I kinda like him as a character, same with Selphie, I tend to use her and Quistis as they are my fave chars, Rinoa kinda started to tick me off after like my 50th playthrough.

[@K2haught]

I disagree. he was basically one of the best in my party plus I love his abilities. I do agree that I like his character alot though.

[@Ototsu-Yume.]

In your party perhaps, but if you max out every single character he ends up bringing the least to the table, and everyone can do consistent 9999 damage except him sadly and a non-trance garnet, he's like a cross between freya and quina with worse abilities and relegated to the front line unless used for support, and as support why would you use him over quina, eiko, garnet or even vivi with a healing doomsday build whom can all outdamage him. It's sad as hes my fave character outside of combat; my least fave being eiko and freya and freya is the best in combat out of everyone, low cost constant 9999s even against mobs with protect from the back row without need of any stones wasted on "Killer" or long reach plus heavy armour and jump as icing, I find it hard not picking her in my lineup unless doing a challenge game.

[@K2haught]

don't forget No Mercy! That move does a lot of damage.

[@K2haught]

ultimately all the characters just depend on how you use them.

[@Ototsu-Yume.]

No they do not depend on "How you use them" that is personal preference; the accepted most efficient method to get through bosses is burning them down as fast as possible thus making highest damage dealers the "Most useful" if you maximise all characters then amarant is the weakest character unless you somehow have an unlimited source of wing edges; which are far more of a pain to farm than anyone elses minigames/mechanics or spend a fortune on a char to do what everyone else can do a limited number of times.

[@brunch1572]

There is one other factor to take into account when choosing a party in FF7, and that is triple material growth weapons. Cloud and Cid each have one, as well as the best limit breaks, so these two are shoe-ins. For your third party member, the choice is between two candidates with very good (level 3) limit breaks: Barret and Yuffie. They both do about the same damage with their multi-hit limits, but what puts Yuffie over the edge is that her ultimate weapon allows her to morph an enemy with the full power of a regular attack, instead of its default diminished damage. I also don’t use Vivi. I love him as a character, but other characters can also deal great damage for far less MP. And you don’t need to memorize or look up what enemies are weak to which schools of magic. Just smack them. You also don’t need him for Ozma. Just do your gem-trading right and you can smack him at melee range.

Jack is my kryptonite. I think Cinque is way better. Once you get her charge swing move, (could be called Homerun) it's easy to get kill sights. Actually, It's just that I haven't used him much I guess and because I can't solo with him. Cinque I can do that with from the first try.

[@SoraLover1994]

Solo-ing with Jack was pretty easy for me from the start. ^_^' I just never had a hard time figuring out his moveset.

dude amarant is more useless than Vivi and Vivi kicks ass. I disagree with you so much on this subject it's not even funny. leaving vivi out of your party also totally nerfs Steiner. I agree with the rest of your list, but I can't fathom choosing vivi over amarant.

Yeah I barely use his ass, Vivi is one of my mains in FF9

Edward is only with you in two dungeons, during the first of which every enemy is vulnerable to all his status attacks, preventing them from killing Rydia all the time, and at the end of the second, the boss has an attack so powerful that you actually need to use his hide command to more reliably survive it. I don't think you should've capitulated and included him in the list personally. Good shout including Vivi though :P

Omg that Mt. Gagazet music is so beautiful, I love Kimarhi but took me a while to find use for him.

Am I wrong about Cait Sith guys? Is there really a fixed way to control his slots besides pausing it with the square button?

[@moilevin7088]

Nope your are dead on about it, I was 10 and I try 12 hours just to get that last slot. I'm still getting use to Final fantasy franchise so far I like it also I want to thank you if it wasn't for you I would have never get into the franchise.

[@drakkar33]

Well for my part I used it to kill both weapons on my first play through of the game when I was about 11 and youtube did not exist but I used it from what I remember it makes a reaper appear and it give a scythe hit that instant kills anything except if emerald weapon does not have his hand in the sand. I had to practice my eye a lot and my timing but when i got the timing right and memorized the other of the figures I got it almost any time. It's hard but doable

Well, when I was in Junior High there were a few gamer girls (yep, believe me) that liked him/her/it? because uhhh "cute".... I used to spam (or use a turbo controller or macro on PC) the square button but even with that the computer is being a d*ck that it skips the last picture, I meant "duck" Other than using GS, it ain't easy.

"Terra, Locke, and Celes." Someone never used the Cyan imp glitch. Cyan is the only character you need in the whole game.

[@Eggnificent]

Gogo not dope. It can use the combination of all the other character abilities combined. You have to equip them though. Gogo is perhaps one of the better characters.

[@systemafunk]

Gogo is great because you can have him mimic someone like Celes after she casts Ultima twice. Which he can do for free. He's not as powerful, but you just put him in a party with powerful people. Umaro is never useful. Unfortunately. Honestly, without the Imp glitch Cyan is probably the second most useless. He's just slow and his Swd Tech is also slow. He's bad a magic and because Stamina is bugged and Vigor really isn't that big a deal later on, Cyan just sucks. Which is too bad because he's one of my favorite actual characters in the game.

[@ThePaido]

Umaro + Fanatics Tower, Nuff said.

[@nesoukkefka1741]

It's not really character that are dope Magic is just extremely OP in FFVI you can beat nearly the entire game by just spamming magic, so by just equip espers that raise Magic and learn strong spell every characters except Umaro is awesome, their personnal skill for the most part completly pales in comparaison to magics.

[@CsStoker]

Setzer offering + fixed dice

[@HighPriestFuneral]

I haven't read all of the comments but you are 100% right about Harley. While I like her character and her use of Elemental Whips does allow her to branch out a little, she pales in comparison to everyone else. You are right that Harley is unfinished. She was Meant to be a Blue Mage (Blue Magic is in the middle of her commands in the data) but I guess they couldn't get the system working right or never really tried to do so. There's a also a Dual-Item command associated with her that also goes unused, because of course.

[@GSFking]

One more thing I find the yeti useful for is going up that magic tower. Him just pummeling the crap out of enemies speeds it up a bit for me. There's lots of ways to go about it but that's just how I do it these days. Also, I didn't need to cheat for the Omega kill in 8. Just junction Ultima to selphie's luck and her slots become broken. Just summon eden and then slot away.. it doesn't take long at all at 255 luck. It was glorious!

[@vc180191]

"Sees name of video" Oho this is gonna be good, the salt will be strong in the comment sections! Let's see how it compared for me, who knows, may add to the salt pile myself...... #10 Good start, fully agree! Should be a bit higher though, but I never had the versions of the game where he apparently got better so I can't judge. #9 On the hedge with this one, I used Vincent a lot because I noticed that he was the most consistently powerful Mage for the party, so I had him setup as my parties Mage. All things considered though, I can see why others wouldn't use him at all, a very finicky party member (but nowhere, NOWHERE near as useless as Cait Sith, fk that cat! Insta team killing sunnuva-!) #8 Hrm, Vivi was a mainstay for me, I like my mages XD. Amarant/Eiko were the ones I'd say was least used, Steiner brought better utility and combined with Vivi well (I liked their whole synergy gimmick, it was fun ^^), and Garnet was better setup than Eiko. #7 Ain't played, can't judge. #6 Agreed, Kimahri has insane versatility, but he's a poor jack of all trades, master of none, all others can be matched up to cover those roles and do it way better than he can. #5 Agreed, although FF8 characters were all kinda indistinct due to the way the junction system worked, Selphie's limits just weren't realistically good enough, and when limits are really the only thing that tell party members apart, that's bad. #4 Ain't played, can't judge. (well, I did, but only got about 10 hours in) #3 Ain't played, can't judge. #2 As I said earlier, fk Cait Sith, deserves number 1 IMO #1 Ain't played, can't judge.

[@MichelleAeris]

Vivi was always in my party.

[@christopherhall5361]

Kimahri doesn't suck...you just don't know how to play him

[@TiberiumMineral]

No kidding, Lancet is one of the most OP ability's in FFX. His weapon type is very good as well.

[@christopherhall5361]

Kimahri is in the very fucking middle of the sphere, he can go down any other characters level path at the very start, you want to have the power of Auron before you get to Luca, send Kimarhi down his path, want a second OP healer/spellcaster, have him follow Yuna, fighting support? follow Tidus, he's THE MOST VERSATILE CHARACTER PERIOD!

[@Xedhadeaus]

The fact he was chilling by an ultima spell made me grind him at level 1 and just get a bunch of locks before I invested in him. I ran lulu towards double cast, and holy, and then I used the friend sphere on them to move them around, then warped back. It's safe to say that he was my pride and joy. He mopped everything with OP spells, and I'm happy they let people use a little know how vs luck.

[@christopherhall5361]

+LucidCharade except in FFX, the so called "red mage syndrome" (whatever the fuck that is) isn't really an issue because you can get all skills and abilities, theoretically you can run every single character through the entire level sphere and get every single ability and stat power up. it's not like a red mage that would only get select spells and abilities from black and white mages, you can literally get the exact same shit as anyone else

[@mikeruane4744]

Christopher Hall where did u take him in the sphere grid? i use him for scan but now he is useless to me

[@NightSprinter]

+Darkkefka Another thing about Spoony, is that his usefulness skyrockets in the 3D remake. He can do more than just use Potions for Salve (though it'll use more than one of that healing item), has many useful bardsongs (including the overpowered Hastemarch, which stacks on top of the Haste spell), and given enough Augments, you actually GET his Bardsong ability as one.

[@AntiNihilist]

Vincent seems like an odd pick. I beat the game using him on my first try because I hate the personalities and/or designs of Barret, Cait Sith, and Yuffie. Red XIII, Cloud, Tifa, and Vincent were my front runners for sure, in terms of designs and backstories

[@itsmellslikeupdoginhere5756]

Oooh I'll make a final fantasy record keeper team of some of these guys ;). This'll be fun.

[@nesoukkefka1741]

Fun fact Khimahri has in reality the strongest attack in the Entire Game Nova so the only thing that prevent him for being the strongest is the 99999 Damage Limit. Vivi is actually usefull especially in combo with Eiko (Carbuncle putting Reflect on the party + Reflecting a spell such has the élemental spell on the party it's during Disc 2 and until late Disc 3 (well late Chocobo Sidequest actually) the second strongest action you can do), personnaly the character I admitly don't know how tu use properly is Amarant he always ends up being a weak character that don't shine anywhere except for his Trance which is actually Good but considering the Trance mechanic suck in this game. I would also have add Gogo in FFVI problems is he comes way to late in the party, his stats sucks and he can't raise with Esper making him weaker than everybody and by this point of the game you probably already spamming either Ultima or Atma Weapon. Also not really a character but I really don't see any use for the Time Mage in FFXIIIZJS

[@jordankleen5815]

The strongest attack in FFX is different on different ports of the game, not counting the Magus Sisters' final attack. (I forgot what it's called)

[@nesoukkefka1741]

Doode 352 I know that on the original version it was Auron (except unlike Khimahri it was on extremely specific condition and doesn't work on every ennemy in the game unlike Khimahri's Nova), but now everybody play the Remaster version in other word the International Version and Khimahri's Nova is the strongest attack the player can do (the Magus Sister's overdrive is weaker only the Dark Magus Sisters's Overdrive is stronger)

[@jordankleen5815]

Zanmato is debatable since it doesn't show the actual damage in numbers. . . I think it's classified as a status effect but I might be wrong

[@nesoukkefka1741]

***** Never say Vivi was worse than Quina on the contrary Quina is one of my main s/he's just like Rikku in FFX a character that can do anything which is severely underrated.

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

Except when you actually get Nova, everyone is already so much stronger and Nova become's useless. And I think the strongest attack is Wakka's Attack Reel.

[@cloud3152]

No wonder you have so much trouble with Ozma. You don't use Vivi! He is my main attacker in that fight with doomsday.

[@Darkkefka]

I prefer to fight him without the friendly creatures. Even then, I'd rather have white mages and 2 attackers for that fight. The only Issue I ave with Ozma is Meteor.

[@cloud3152]

[@stevenleonmusic]

I feel the same way about Kimahri, I was itching to replace him from the moment he joined. That being said the real travesty of FF10 (the original PS2 US version) is how horrible Lulu actually is. You think she's marginally useful but if you take Yuna over to the Black Magic portion of the grid you suddenly realize that Yuna just completely outclasses Lulu and can do so from pretty early on in the game. I think this was partially fixed in the remaster but my memory is hazy. I just remember I stopped playing for several weeks when I was a kid because I was so annoyed at how much time I wasted on Lulu only to have Yuna trivialize her whole existence.

[@HiveDes]

Yeah but her post-battle pose tho...

[@gz1236]

Yeah, I realized that too when I give Yuna some black magic spells like fire and Blizzard, then I compare the damage of yuna's magic to Lulu's black magic, yuna's Fire/Water/Thunder/Blizzard Damage has the same damage of Lulu's Fira/Watera/Thundara/Blizzara

[@Countmacula666]

Yeah I barely used Kimahri and LuLu

[@ambrosewong139]

With ffx though, eventually everyone becomes everything when the sphere grid is maxed out so there is no real useless character except for the damage cap then it's about multi hit overdrives so Lulu and Kimahri fall off.

Lets agree to disagree shall we? And I disagree about Selphie.... She is technically, the strongest character in FF8 at least. Her " The End" can blow up even Omega Weapon in just one hit!!

[@Allistar123]

The End is very rare and she suffers the same way Vincent suffers in that everybody plays the same in Final Fantasy 7 and 8 and only thing separating are limit breaks and the other characters have limit breaks that are consistently better and more useful.

[@systemafunk]

Vincent has some very good uses. Earlier on, you can use his 255% weapons with deathblow materia and link DBlow to other materia for all sorts of awesome combos. And then, if you get him early and use him a ton, by the time you get his ultimate weapon, which you can also get earlier than most, you can do heck loads of damage.

[@Kymusashi]

In the right hands, Zell has the most devastating limit break. Selphie's one hit wonder isn't something you can rely on.

[@enkiduduenkidudu7950]

There is this combo called the Armageddon Fist, it's alternating Booya and Punch Rush or Booya and Heel drop, executing a Finishing move is a waste of time.

[@enkiduduenkidudu7950]

+LucidCharade the point of Armageddon Fist is to get the maximum damage from Zell's Duel, that's why it only uses Booya+Punch Rush or Booya+Heel Drop because they only required 2 buttons which can be executed quickly and stop the timer as fast as possible. executing one Finishing Move could mean you will probably lose about 3 to 5 more attack. Finishing move is cool though and some hit multiple enemies.

[@Ryanookami]

I agree that most characters who have slots as their limit breaks/special ability/overdrive/whatevers suck ass, but the one huge exception to this is Wakka. Damn are his attack slots easy to unlock, and incredibly easy to stop on the correct choice to get 12 hits per use. With the right Overdrive set up you can get multiple uses in a single battle, plus have other characters keep transferring their Overdrive bars via Entrust...I hate slots, but at the same time, Wakka's attack slot is one of the best attacks in the whole series.

[@lake4ishikawa]

You just proved that there are no useless characters in Final Fantasy series. Thank you.

[@Darkkefka]

not really, it was just time for a little change.

[@Khalith]

I used selphie a lot as my dedicated healer. Aura breaks the game more or less, i used squall, zell, and selphie. The guys spammed limit breaks and its actually really easy to always have fullcure waiting to go, it has a high rate of appearing. She also one shot ultima and omega for me so i will always love her!

[@Dw7freak]

Another thing that sets characters apart in FF7 is the range of their default attacks. Yuffie, Vincent, and Barrett (with most of his weapons) are long range, meaning their attacks are unaffected by row and can hit enemies out of range of the melee characters, like elevator battle during the Shinra HQ raid at the beginning of the game. The others can only do this if they have the Long Range materia equip. Of course, magic and limits also ignore range, but if you are doing a No Materia run, you need to have at least one of these 3 in your party at all times.

[@epickithri]

sorry to disagree but the worst character in FFT is a tie between malak and rafa tho cause i played the psp version so much that might be their names in that version but the mantra abilites are way too random for my liking even Cloud isn't as useless as that and his soldier class is still fairly weak in my opinion since the materia blade is the only weapon he can equip and use those skills with. Boco has uses even if it's breeding poach fodder. but the worst character in my opinion goes to Hope from FF13 ok Hope may have some uses but consider role of support in the paradigms is Medic, Synergist, and Ravager there are better in my opinion. Vanille gets Sabatour at least to go with Ravager and medic which makes her useful, Sazh gets his own version of commando and his synergist is better for hitting elemental weaknesses, Lightning gets medic so she can heal. and with the early doctor's code you really don't need medic for a good portion of the game which puts a heavy limit on how good Hope truely is.

[@smward87]

Rapha is actually really good in the PSP version. The randomness is still there, but it's not as bad. And with a MA around 20 she can easily hit 999 on enemies if you exploit their weaknesses. So yeah, you can nuke people with her no sweat. Plus her naturally low Brave makes her great for Deep Dungeon/Midlight's Deep item finding. Yes Ramza is better since he can't leave and thus you can go all the way to 1, but I don't like messing with his BR/FA like that. Marach on the other hand...yes he's completely worthless. He should have been on this list.

[@epickithri]

smward87 that's just it the randomness is there but it's not with a black mage which every character has access to. sorry but i hate having to try and take advantage of terrain to limit the randomness when it's easier just to blast with a magic spell from a black mage or a summoner and be done with it. and even in the psp version there's just better character's if you stack MA and put a magic gun on balthier with barrage he gets more than 999 damage in and with Ramza's squire job using tailwind as well as Luso with it you can abuse stuff like that but you can't speed abuse charge timers so it really limits usefulness sorry i would take boco over either of the 2 any day of the week. i like to abuse tailwind and by not using charge timers when i don't have to it makes it easy for me to do what i wish on the field. Also just a note but Orater/mediator can manipulate bravery and faith enough to make a vanilla character be a damn good mage as well as stuff like shout and steel can manipulate Ramza's bravery enough that im not worried about the grind needed anyway.

[@MrIronJustice]

Rafa and Malak are even more random to play with than Cait Sith and Selphie. At least with them you know you will hit the enemy with SOMETHING. Rafa and Malak may whiff several times in a row, or hit your own people. I know there is a tiny chance of that for Cait Sith, but with these guys it is like more times than not.

[@TheOccultationProject]

I gave your video a thumbs up, but I have to defend Selphie. Her strongest limit break, "The End", can completely take out Omega Weapon (HP = 1,000,000+). Her stronger spells show up more frequently when she's at higher levels, and that makes her dangerous later in the game. You can also use Cactuar boost her stats significantly. Then again, VIII is my favorite game of the series.

[@Shadow_Sonata]

I agree, Selphie ended up being one of my mains for FF8 (fear the cute ones). Now, if he REALLY wants worthless, try Vaan (FF12). Not only mediocre in combat, but halfway through the game (after constantly whining about wanting to be a "Sky Pirate", all but forgets about it for the rest of the game.

[@anthonymurano4775]

I'm sorry, but if you have to rely on The End, you suck at the game. Omega Weapon can be easily killed with Squall, Irvine, and Zell or swapping out Irvine with Rinoa... In a game where Limit Breaks differentiate the characters, Selphie is the most useless with her randomness and lack of anything good popping up when needed.

[@DarkLitUniverse]

Khimari actually ended up being my best character in FFX, I took him around the center, then up through Tidus' grid till he learned haste. Then, switched him onto Auron's grid which had the net effect of making him a faster Auron that could cast haste. The loop around the center also left him with 120~160 more mp than either Tidus or Auron so when I gave him hasteaga he was able to use it whenever necessary. Amusingly, this made Auron my Khimari.

Yes, her limit breaks heal but with things like White Wind, Esuna, Restore, Big Guard, and later Full Cure and W-Item after she dies, she isn't really needed. After Fury Brand, Aeris is useful but what is the point of even getting her limit breaks if she won't even be there past Disc 1?

Totally agreed
