@@TitaniumLegman its a freaking single player game dude. besides, pretty much any character can become as good as him, including agrias, also, even though he is OP, i can make the argument that balthier can be even more broken due to his 4x damage. or ramza with his ability to speed/power boost infinitely. then there's the fact mimics and mathimatician class exist. CID is meant to be OP. that's the whole point. besides how would they even nerf him? the only thing they could do is take away his dark knight powers, in which case he would just become a copy of agrias. and again, you could reach the same power cid has with agrias by making her a dark knight anyways. so no, CID should not be nerfed.

Cid makes you wonder how busted Barbaneth was Beowolf not being in S Tier minimum is ridiculous.
@cameronsmiljan9374Ай бұрын
Beowulf 100% belongs in A. I can see the argument for S, but the main reason why he's A is because he is just the Mystic Class but with Physical damage instead of magic. He's only really S in Midlight's Deep because his version of Foxbird is insanely busted for getting your Brave lowered faster for the rare items, but he's A everywhere else. He's good for his debuffs, but his Physical damage is kind of lackluster compared to other classes.
@atmosdwagon4656Ай бұрын
Beowulf is absolutely S-Tier, no question in my mind. His versions of the Oracle spells are all longer range, instant speed and possess a higher base accuracy than the originals. That is all to compensate for their lack of AoE. Foxbird is busted, sure, but equally powerful are his Petrify (best in class for its effect), Sleep and Confusion. And none of these magically stop being relevant once you're outside of Midlight's Deep. The redundancy in CC effects is desireable because each one has its own use case in addition to letting Beowulf sidestep the immunities enemies may have in the late game. (also, Foxbird won't always chicken the target in one cast due to variance in starting Brave values for all generic NPC units being above 60, so it's not unusual for Beowulf to reach for a different CC effect to take them out of the fight) On top of all of that, Beowulf has a vastly superior gear selection and stat growths compared to Mystic, so he holds up just fine compared to all other (non Orlandu) unique Jobs in end game. One other major benefit that tends to go understated is the immense benefit of instant-speed spells. Without getting into the nitty-gritty of how charge times and turn order works, high speed casters tend to leave themselves open to that 50% extra damage and zero evasion vulnerable status when Charging on the first turn. Instant speed casting completely bypasses this weakness. This makes Auto-Haste more valuable for Beowulf than any regular Caster, and oh look! He has access to Excalibur in his equips. Finally, he has much more reliable boss-killing potential with Drain, in the event he needs to fight something that is hard-coded immune to all of his spells' CC. In fact, the only place where he is actually useless is vs Faithless targets, which doesn't really happen outside of PvP (which is an unplayable, busted mess as it is). If Orlandu (and Calculator) didn't exist, he would be near the top of the best units in the game, period. Just because he can reliably eliminate/cripple an enemy every turn or two regardless of what they are.
@cameronsmiljan9374Ай бұрын
@@atmosdwagon4656 That last point doesn't really work. He can only reliably kill units if you max him out to level 99. Prior to that, his damage is between subpar and above average. At 99, he's a monster, but it takes an insane amount of work to get him there. Yes, he has Drain, but you will almost never need to use it when you have other staple members like Ramza, Cid and Meliadoul already 1 shotting pretty much everything with or without Beowulf's debuffs. His instant speed spells are great, but you will either be using him to deal damage (if you build him that way), or as a support. You can try to do both but it's not as effective or optimal as making him fully one or the other. He has good bulk, and decent scaling, but takes a lot of work to make him optimal in either path. Yes, he gets access to Excalibur, but you will never be taking it off of Cid unless you don't plan on using him for a cake-walk file. Even if you do take it off, you will almost never give it to Beowulf because Meliadoul exists. Her skills are incredibly broken with auto haste and have more use than Beowulf's do in most cases because of large damage and gear destruction. If you're not using her, then you're likely still using Agrias who is still sort of better than him by way of her versatility. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration with Beowulf, but ultimately he is 100% A tier and there's no way around it. He's a great character no matter what direction you take with him, but he's not super busted.

Fuck that he’s up there with thunder god. None of you clearly know how to use him
@cameronsmiljan9374Ай бұрын
@@JohnWick-uq1su he definitely is not Cid tier. Nobody is Cid tier other than Cid himself. Beowulf is a very good unit who can be built and used in 1 of 3 ways: Tanky Support - Given the maxed out gear to make him as bulky as possible, that way he can't die, and used strictly for his status effects and debuffs to make fights easier. This is usually the best way to use him as his damage falls off late game, unless you train him to level 99. Damage Tank - Still building him bulky, but leaning into his damage capabilities rather than Support. As mentioned before, his damage is between alright and great depending on how much you've leveled him. Yes, he can sit there and use Drain to chunk things for 1/4 of their HP, but this can be evaded by late game human enemies, since most have the highest grade of mantle accessories available. Better to use him for his other damage spells and basic attacks. Damage-Dealing Support - This is a good way to use him, but is much harder than the other 2 because you're using him based on the situation he's in during battle. Due to how amazing his supportive capabilities are in comparison to his damage dealing capabilities, it's almost always better to focus on making him a support rather than one of your main heavy hitters. He can still hit hard, but needs to be vastly overleveled to do it. His scaling isn't good enough for you to take him to the end of the game as just the level 50-60 needed for the final dungeon Gauntlet in Murond. He needs to be at least level 85 if you plan on using him as one of your main DPS characters, and level 90 if you plan on using him as this Hybrid build character. As Support, he can be any level you want him to be and he will work

Ultima sucks, and having to waste turns to buff yourself or others is quite the drawback when the others, Agrias included, can just immediately annihilate the opposition.

Beowulf needs a bump up. Once you're already bringing Cid and Balthier to tear through enemies, Beowulf is much better with his chicken or stone or silence abilities to neutralize units outside of OTK range. I found him more useful than just bringing a lesser version of Cid like Agrias or Meliadoul.

He is awesome, even better in War of the Lions due to dark knight being available giving him not only the best CC in the game but also some ranged damage skills one that steals hp and does damage and the other mp which hits so hard it will just lay waste to any magic characters mana pool making them essentially useless.

Overall I agree with a lot on this list outside of a select few. I am with a lot of comments here in saying Beowolf is criminally under-rated on this list for reasons already explained. I was expecting S or at lowest a High A but instead he is on the same tier as Cloud? Cloud requires an insane amount of work to get working (as you mentioned) and in the end we all know that we just use him to spam finishing touch as it is probably the only worthwhile limit to use. Admittedly, this strat is very powerful but Beowulf does the same job of crippling enemies and more and has a much easier time of it. Personally I'd move Balthier to Cid Tier, Beowulf to S tier, Meliadoul down to A, construct down to A or B, and Reis up to A (insane stat growth though her equipment is limited to female only).

@BlakobnessАй бұрын
I don't believe Cid needs to be touched at all in a game like this. You can just not use him, you have Agrias and later Meliadoul (who I use as a Cid replacement). The main reason for that, is that there's story significance for Cid joining your group even if it's not addressed in the game's story. Thunder God Cid, arguably one of the best swordsmen of all time in this era of Ivalice, joining you after being disgraced and having his death faked is a huge deal. As a player you see his kit and you understand he's a big deal, but not only that, you pick up in some lore drippings about how legendary of a leader he is. If you nerf him down to where he's on par with Agrias or Meliadoul you take a lot of the wind out of the sails of him getting added to the party. What I would like instead is to have the remake play him up a bit more in the story before you recruit him. Add optional battles like WoTL did for Delita where he just takes on squads of enemies, give him some cutscenes to really sell the point of him being a legend. This is someone who soldiers like Ramza aspire to be, and his presence instills courage into the group's ventures. Personally I don't know about putting Beowulf in the same bracket as Cloud. Beowulf is a solid A, and Cloud I think belongs in C as his Limit skill is so impractical to use. Easily 2/3rds of his options you will never get to use. Beowulf is great, not because of chicken, but because of Stone. He can take out anything that isn't wearing stone protection and that isn't a boss in one shot, with an extremely high reliability once you have his faith up; and at exceedingly great range and they will never recover unless acted upon by an Ensuna, Gold Needle, or Purify. You sell Cid as a character that will solo the game, but Beowulf can largely do that as well before any enemy reaches him outside of bosses. And for those characters he can alternate Drain and Vengeance pretty reliably and sustain himself, again at impressive range. Reis is a bit of a weird case. Her personal class is lacking in it's direct capability, but it has excellent magic growth; if I remember it's the best growth of any class. So there's validity in leveling her up in her Dragon class and the fielding her as a black mage. This doesn't help her personal class standing, but it's a meta thing you can do to end up with a better spellcaster potentially. The problem with that is that you get your hands on her so late in the game, and I'm not sure if those additional levels carry over her innate growth if she's not active in your party. Construct 8 I rarely ever use, but he's a great use case in synergy for running Chemist as a main healer, but that's true for any low faith unit. Personally I hate low faith builds, I think they restrict you greatly in what classes you're allowed to use or your party uses. Never cared for that meta.

Yeah, I remember in the original game on the first PlayStation, I turned her into a Monk and she ended up having 25 PATK, so she did 625 damage with a regular punch. She also had around 1500 HP, which was 2-3x the HP of anyone else in my army. She's the only reason I even knew HP didn't cap at 999. I don't know if they've changed anything about her in the rereleases, but she was just a beast in the original version. I think those ridiculous stats actually put her on par with Cid. His skills were indeed amazing, but her raw power was on a whole other level. But, yeah, that was as a Monk, not as her base job (which is what Tom's grading here). One of the things that held her back as a Dragoner (and the whole reason I made her a Monk) was that regardless of her current job, she was restricted to using only that special female-only gear. This meant purses were the only weapon she could equip, so her damage was random. Making her a Monk seemed like her best use, because then her unique gear restrictions wouldn't really matter. I just didn't know she'd be *that* amazing at it.

Cid is good but by the time you get him you can easily have a Calculator (Arithmetician) with Holy, Frog, Haste, Cure 3, Esuna and Wall which you've turned into a Summoner/Geomancer. That generic can solo 99% of the game content, especially if it's a female with Tynar Rouge. For me that makes Cid not very desirable because it's not very fun to grind late game when the random encounters are much harder and more annoying. Balthier and Reis are almost as broken and fun to use, but also come a bit late and are annoying to grind. Nobody else is really worth using over generics.
@Uryvichk26 күн бұрын
If availability matters, Agrias (and Ramza) should be way higher. I think it's entirely backward to worry about a unit "falling off" in the lategame if that unit gets to exist for more of the game prior to that. Like imagine if you got a Cid-level character before Dorter and then they're available all the way to the end of Chapter 2 and leave the party forever. Is this character awful because they stop existing later, or are they godlike because you get Cid-tier power in the early game when your generics are underdeveloped? SRPGs tend to be harder in the early game when your options are limited and synergistic builds that have massively greater impact than the sum of their parts aren't finished yet. Having someone you can always rely on will make it easier to get established in the game, and by the time they leave, other uniques will be around to take their place. Such a character probably couldn't be any lower than A tier. Agrias isn't quite like that, but she's one of the earliest uniques to join and if you're going to dock her for falling off later in the game it's only fair to credit her for existing earlier in the game when everybody else doesn't (let alone how overpowered she is relative to her join time). Also, as has been argued, Agrias doesn't really even fall off that much due to being female for equipment options and having access to Knight Swords. I don't think weird stats is even that much of a problem, outside maybe HP, because the game isn't difficult enough for that to matter and she's still carried by her overpowered skills. The fact she has AoE and much more availability means she has to be better than Meliadoul, even if WotL Meliadoul is better at her peak. The only reason I wouldn't argue her over Cid is that Cid's availability is actually quite high. It's a bit like getting FE7 Athos halfway through the game.

So, for my own Tier List: S-Tier: Cid, Agrias A-Tier: Beowulf, Balthier B-Tier: Reis, Meliadoul (WotL) C-Tier: Luso, Mustadio, Meliadoul (Classic) D-Tier: Cloud, Worker 8 F-Tier: Rafa, Malak Justification: S-TIER: Both characters have VERY strong equipment options: Knight Swords and busted ass skills that directly abuse them. Lightning Stab is just way too good on its own merits, and one of those universal "Why nobody really uses normal physical attacks in late game". While Cid greatly outclasses Agrias in raw stat gains, the lady knight can do one thing the Thunder God can't: Become Immortal. (at least, without the busted Rendevouz-only items) Chantage+Ribbon is god-mode, and Agrias sacrifices basically nothing to get it and for that reason alone, she is S-Tier and the only thing that comes close to Cid in raw power (besides Math Skill from the generic) A-TIER: Beowulf and Balthier are only just behind the power-duo at the top, each for very different reasons. Balthier is the King of Speed, and unlike Ninja, he doesn't gut his HP and MP for the privilege. This lets him abuse all kinds of abilities keyed off of Speed in ways other characters can only dream of. (Jump Balthier makes him practically unkillable) Additionally, Balthier's Sky Pirate has THE BEST equipment selection in the game (better than Cid even) and a personal skill to abuse it with in Barrage. He is the only character besides his distant relative (Mustadio) who can realistically make good use of Bows, as he has all of Musty's skills and then some. Beowulf is OP in a unique manner: He's the one character whose power comes from winning without just doing dump trucks of damage. Magic Sword (Spellsword) are the Oracle's (Mystic's) spells, only single target and requiring a sword or knight sword to cast. To compensate for these drawbacks, his spells have increased range, noticeably higher base accuracy, and instant-speed casting. Having access to Chicken and Petrify alone would make him a rock-star among units, but how about adding high-accuracy Drain for boss-killing and sustain? Or Sleep for combos, Confusion for protection, Don't Act (Disable) for stalling and so on? He has in-kit synergy with a lot of stuff. Ironically, the one spell in his list unique to him (Shock) is the worst of the bunch, though you could do some cheeky snipe-plays using it since it has an enormous range. He is the walking proof of how "Damage is not everything" and anyone complaining about Beowulf's spell accuracy clearly hasn't done the most sensible thing upon recruiting him and had a Mediator boost his permanent Faith stat up (80 - 84 is what I aim for, to keep the annoying warning message away). Without getting into the heavy mechanics of why, a small change in Faith yields large improvements in his spell accuracy. On top of that, he has the Faith spell to inflict others with the status, should he desire to set-up his own combos. (CONTINUED BELOW)
@atmosdwagon465621 күн бұрын
B-Tier: Reis and Meliadoul (WOTL). Meliadoul is basically Agrias without AoE attacks, which is to say, she's strong and reliable in her WOTL improvement. Beyond that, there's not much to say: Breaking equipment is neat, but fairly immaterial by the time you get her since you will have Cid and his disgusting damage output before then anyway. Reis's Dragoner (Dragonkin) is an odd Job, with innate dual-wield, innate-tame, a dragon-themed kit that is strong on paper, but of limited range and with very limited equipment choices. However, it also has the best stat-growths in the game, beating even Cid. Her Magic Attack Growth is MONSTROUS, and because she joins so late (around level 30-40) it will be primed for transfer into any MA job ability-set which she will EXCEL at. Beyond the usual magic skills, she's incredible with Iaido (Draw-Out), but arguably even better, with Geomancy; which lets her melt enemies from halfway across the map. C-Tier: Luso is a clone of Ramza with innate Poach (Secret Hunt). Literally, that is all. Yell is busted as it's always been, but the main reason he's here instead of A or S-Tier, is because Yell's turn-by-turn effectiveness relies on stalling which uh...becomes harder to do the higher the enemy's levels become. (Speed stat inflation is real in end-game, especially with Thief Hats, Flash Hats all over the place) O.G. Vanilla FFT's Meliadoul is much worse than her WOTL buffed counterpart since her Mighty Sword Skills can't hit monsters. (they have no equipment) This means she's fantastic for the remaining story missions, but far less useful for most of the random encounters going forward as over half of the enemies you will face on average are monsters. Funnily enough, Meliadoul's Divine Knight Job gets Spears AND Crossbows in vanilla FFT, while sporting a really good Physical Attack growth. This makes her the one and only unit I have EVER unironically used the Equip Change support skill on. Mustadio's placement here is really contingent on two things: The existence/absence of Balthier (who is a vastly upgraded clone of Musty...or rather, a distant relative, of Mustadio as the two share the same last name) and Musty's very limited equipment selection. One the bright side, he gets Guns and is the original intended Gun Specialist of the game. Guns are good, but the best Guns scale off of Magic Attack and Musty doesn't get much of that in his default Job. Regular guns do fixed damage, modified only by certain status effects and Zodiac Compatability so they scale quite poorly after mid-game in the original FFT. (the Ras Algethi gun Balthier comes with in WOTL is solid enough end game, especially with Barrage. But the high tier Bows are usually better with Barrage anyway...key word, 'usually') Mustadio's other abilities, thankfully, don't rely on dealing direct damage, but rather aim to cripple the enemy. Their accuracy scales off of Speed, and Engineer has above average Speed growth, so he's actually not all that bad even in late game. (Thief Hat spammage notwithstanding, which blocks both of his main disabling moves' effects) Pairing the Knight's Battle Skill with his Gun access or switching him over to Archer is also a solid idea for different reasons; Chemist is also a popular choice, though you really want to avoid leveling him up as one since their stat-growths are awful. Ideally, he gets into Ninja and kinda stays there as long as he can to soak up Speed and slightly improved PA growths since it's a fantastic class for him. The low-HP growth sucks, but he's going to be sniping most of the time anyway so...eh. Lancer (Dragoon) is also a solid Job choice for him once he's leveled up his Speed enough since Jump's reliability directly scales with the user's Speed stat, and Spears do large amounts of bonus damage via Jumps (in addition to being really strong weapons in general) Really though, Balthier straight up outmodes Mustadio, doing literally everything Musty does and then some. Just don't dismiss Mustadio until you have Cloud, because Musty's presence is still required to start basically all but one of the sidequests in Act IV.

D-TIER: Two gimmick characters with their own odd weaknesses holding them back. Worker 8 is definitely the most unique and gimmicky of the bunch, so I'll start with 'him'. (it?) In any case, Worker 8 is classified as a Monster rather than a regular unit, but not just any monster, but a 'Big monster'. This means he has the elusive ability to be used as a stepladder to help other characters with low Jump reach higher ground on squares he stands next to, as if he were connecting terrain. (this mechanic is rarely used, but the one place it's useful is acquiring the broken Javelin II and Gold Escutcheon items) Mr. Roboto has 4 abilities on paper, but only two of them are really worth using. Also, using any of his abilities requires him paying a portion of his own HP. Dispose is his bread and butter, with a massive 8 squares of range and pretty strong undodgeable single target damage. The other skills are melee only and functionally similar too each other in that they all cause damage or death. Then there's its other unique trait: Permanent Innocence. This sets his Faith to 0 at all times, making him immune to anything keyed as a magic effect, be it positive or negative. If not for his self-damage gimmick, he would actually be a very strong magic-immune late game unit (albeit, a bit slow). Due to its limitations, it basically needs Ramza or Luso using Yell on it constantly to boost its Speed all while refueling its HP with Potions, WIsh and/or Chakra (non-magic Healing effects). Next up is Cloud, of FF7 fame. Normally, crossover characters get special treatment, rolling out with a variety of busted abilities. Cloud has...abilities but while they're not exactly bad, most of them aren't great either. Also: He starts at level 1...at the tail end of Act IV. His stat-growths are slightly above average (except in WOTL, where his MA growth was nerfed to average for no good reason). As a callback to an infamous early-game sequence in the original FF7, Cloud can equip Female-Only items, which is a bigger boon than you might think. So, besides his mediocre stats and crap level, what else is holding him back? He needs his weapon, the Materia Blade, in order to use ANY of his skills. And yes, it must be that specific sword so don't lose it! The Material Blade itself is mediocre at best, so you will almost never use it as a weapon anyway. His Limit abilities are basically 'spells' without MP costs that targets PANELS and not enemy units. Unlike two other gimmicky characters below, Limits always hit whatever is in their area of effect, so at least there's that. Because they're classified as spells, Short Charge (Swiftness) helps him out immensely. This is the real issue with Cloud: Most of his Limit attacks are okay, but not great. Finishing Touch is the best of the lot by far, and Climhazzard can be circumstantially useful for finishing off weakened enemies. But the rest of them are ...niche or odd. Meteorain is okay since it has long range and an AoE, but it badly needs Short Charge to be usable. Cherry Blossom and Omnislash are quite strong, but absurdly slow, even with Short Charge. (Beowulf can help combo off with Sleep here which is usually enough damage to ensure a kill or two) The rest are just kind of not worth it. Braver is okay for power leveling since it can't miss, won't trigger counter-attacks and won't do too much damage, I guess? Cloud can be made into a solid performer, but man, it takes a loooot of effort. Way more than everyone else above him in tier, which is why he's here.
@atmosdwagon465621 күн бұрын
F-Tier: Rafa and Malak The wonder twins share effectively the same ability kit, only with different gimmicks. First, the gimmick their spells share: They randomly trigger 1-6 times (1-10 times in War of the Lions) upon casting, targeting random squares within their range each time. This gives them, theoretically, the highest potential damage per turn in the game. However, note that the spells target random SQUARES and not UNITS within those squares. This means they can miss what you're aiming at entirely unless you manage to confine the spell's range to the single square their intended victim is standing on. (their high vertical tolerance is a bane in this case) So..yeah. They're also potentially the LEAST reliable spells in the game. Also, while they take time to charge they don't cost MP. Short Charge is your best option if you feel like gambling with them. They're usable but...well, regular magic is just better, to say nothing of the awesome units still awaiting acquisition down the line. The other thing that separates Rafa and Malak's spells are their "karma" gimmicks. This manifests in the form of Faith based shenanigans. Rafa's spells ignore the Faith stat entirely, making them hit consistently hard. Malak's spells INVERT the normal Faith mechanic, inflicting higher damage to LOWER Faith targets. Counter-intuitively, Faith and Innocent still work normally for both types of spells, so setting Faith status on either Rafa or Malak will cause their (potential) damage to skyrocket while setting Innocence will nullify damage as normal. IMO, the best part of their jobs is their ability to equip Sticks (Staves/Poles) which are dreadfully underused (and underrated) weapons, being effectively "Magic Spears" that scale off of Magic Attack instead of Physical Attack. Their HP growth is also quite good (not extraordinary, but solid), so they're in theory, fairly sturdy as spellcasters go. Of course, Reis outlcasses both of them, even at their own gimmick. (Holy Breath has the same gimmick as the Wundertwin's Spells) One final note: Rafa is routinely used as an item-finder for the Deep Dungeon (Midlight's Deep) part of the game due to her naturally low Bravery stat of 31. Like most maps in the game, there are many Trap panels in the Deep Dungeon which will activate UNLESS the character stepping on them has the Move-Find Item ability equipped. If they do, the game will randomly give them an item from that panel (only works once! Revisiting the map does NOT reset the item!), which most of the time, is a random chance between a "rare" or "common" item. For the Deep Dungeon, all 'Common' items are Phoenix Down, while the Rare items are (mostly) unique, top-tier equipment you (usually) can't get anywhere else. The %chance of getting the Rare item is equal to 100 - Bravery. So HIGH Brave characters will almost always get the Phoenix Down, while LOW bravery cowards find the stuff you actually want, and since half the point of doing the Deep Dungeon is getting that phat loot, your team will want a Low Brave Gopher. Rafa starts with 31 Bravery and is largely useless elsewhere, which makes her unusually qualified for the job.
