I never got to use Bahamut but the summons generally were underwhelming in power, especially if you're bringing Steiner too, Vivi is the muscle

>>323499059
Depends on the game it's in but FF XI, for example, blue magic was strong as fuck. It follows no conventions for magic.

>>323501090
His trance was pretty useful, it turned his single target Flair into multi-target attacks.

I don't actually believe you, Ozma shits out so much damage even with heals and regen

You're bad in that your characters died but Amarant lived and somehow magically soloed? I think what happened at best is the others did the damage and after a long fight you decided to not revive and amaranth did a few thou damage and you claim it was a solo attempt

Why did they nerf Donald so badly in KH 2? He was useless. I always swapped him out. Goofy stayed with me in all the worlds.

quina with mighty guard was god tier

>>323506414
Not Yuffie, though. She was only in the party because she wanted to steal their materia because she didn't like that her town had become a tourist town instead of a ninja town. But that had nothing to do with Shinra.

>>323501882
Unfortunately despite how sexy he is kongol is the worst member because of his awful speed which is king in LoD.

Yeah, but Yuffie's father was the one who decided to quit being warriors and become a resort. And you never see Yuffie giving a shit about Shinra. She blames her father. She's not with the group because of Shinra or saving the planet. She literally just wants the materia.

So is no one worthless in FF9? Color me impressed.

kimarhi was garbage, quit fooling yourself. anything he could do, everyone else could do better. his only use is stealing from the gay ronso butt buddies to get easy keysphere unlocks. all his blue magic was overdrive onry, meaning all he could do was either attack or cast magic. he was shit at doing both.

his piercing ability was rendered useless by his low strength, and you get auron quickly enough. lancet was decent enough to make him cast spells, but his magic is dwarfed by the other 2 bitches that could cast infinitely better.

>>323513348
