ITT: Useless party members
Anyone that can't understand the point is all the matters in objective based game modes.
>>257686994
Her aromatherapy was kind of neat... But I guess she was pretty pointless. Probably the least connected to the plot of the entire cast. Even the dog had more motivation than her.
Anyway, this guy was shit and anyone who says otherwise is a crazy person.
>>257687832
>implying the entire cast besides lee and clem aren't useless
>>257687929
jane or whatever the fuck her name was
Completely useless special ability, and annoying to boot.
>>257688643
>rafa
but she's alrightif you're into her fanart depicting her backstory
>>257686994
I think her and geppetto were the 2 I used the least
Which sucks because I liked geppetto
>>257687678
>tfw Kongol had the best backstory
>tfw Kongol was completely fucked over due to insanely slow speed, bullshit low attack modifier on his ultimate Addition, and gets one shotted by magic.
Its a shame too, Honestly he would have been better off if you could ahve used him unarmed instead of wielding an axe, he was badass when he was busting out wrestling moves on you.
>>257692843
He got screwed over in so many ways, its like he was just an afterthought. They couldn't even think of a way to get him his dragoon spirit before disc 4 without having to pay some jew merchant in a town you have NO reason to visit again for it?
Plus aside from his backstory, he's just the muscleheaded guy who stands around and doesn't really do anything...
>>257687678
In her defense, Blanca had more motivation than most of the cast.
His owner and entire town really was killed by Sapientes Gladios 20 minutes into the game. What else is he going to do?
>>257693475
The problem is, Lucia had a motivationher rivalry with Veronica and her past involvement with SGbut they NEVER EVER bring it up again after theprison sequence.And after that, Lucia does fuckall.
Guess that's still more reason than Joachim had, but he's Joachim so he gets a pass.
>>257693148
>>257687678
Kongol at least fills a decent niche at the point in the game that he's obtained, unlike pic related.
>Don't mind me, just busy being completely outclassed by Meru.
Sup.
>>257693791
The entity known as Sharanda is good for two things: their Dragoon Magic and tossing magic items. Always thought MirandaShanawas shit until I actually tried out magic items with them.
Meru's great too, though. I usually run with Dart/Meru/Albertor Rose.
They could have handled him so much better than they did.
>Victory
>want to use Vert since she's my second favorite
>gets KOed every turn against bosses; complete glass cannon
>except her damage ouput is mediocre, so she's really just glass
>and she misses a lot
Also, to a lesser extent, any non-DLC who isn't Pururut, Piishi, or Neptune.
Neptunia's combat system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up by competent devs. The main problem is that they want party members to be unique from a gameplay standpoint, but it's too simple at its core to handle a large cast of unique units without just making the mass majority of them mediocre or useless.
>>257694452
>absorb self destruct
>use self destruct
>kimarhi is suddenly useful
Tolten should also be considered. He's only useful for the skill that lets your immortals equip his weapons.
>>257694174
Don't get me wrong, she's great for tossing magical items, but by the end of the game her utility is reduced to throwing Psychedelic Bomb X and then being a retard for the rest of the battle. Sure she can heal, but so can Meru, who gets twice as many turns in a round, has decent physical power (if you factor in how often she's attacking with her retardedly high speed,) also cures status, does it all for less MP, and has strong offensive magic.
Shana is good throughout her entire run because of how early in the game you get her and what a godsend she is up until the point when you don't need her, and by that point she's Miranda.
Story wise like second strongest character in the group but god damn is he useless in battle
>>257694665
Give her a lot of AGI and she will be the fastest EXE filler you can bring.
>>257694830
>wreck Ryu in the arena
>joins the party
>has less HP than Ryu
>>257694827
And Miranda's a bitch. And her Dragoon Armor doesn't look as nice.
>>257694772
I actually liked the kids and don't remember having problems with them in battles. Tolten was terrible and disappointing. But really, all the mortals were shit and a liability compared to the immortals.
>>257695163
Agreed, I had grown fond of Shana and hated Miranda's codpiece of a personality.
>>257694772
>that one fucking level where you have to play as them
>only levelled up the girl for healing
>kid is still the same level I found him as
>she had to carry the entire way, scraping by using nothing but the one black magic spell i had taught her
>all the while the shit eating little kid did nothing but throw potions at the girl
why
>>257695163
Cooke and Mack were worthless. Cooke is a waste of a slot considering you can get Black + White magic absurdly easily, and Mack is only good for leeching Shaman magic from him. Tolten is worthless in general, Sed is amazing, and Jensen is actually a decent Black Magic user.
Sed man, he's perfect. Amazing damage, great speed, and is invaluable in battles.
>>257686994
Pic unrelated
>>257695309
I share the feeling, except they were both the starting level when I did disk 3, so the ice spiders were getting two turns before I got one and nearly killing both of them in those two turns.
>>257695432
how on earth did you manage to get through that level then?
did you just run through it?
>>257695294
Looking back, Shana had it rough. It must have really sucked tolose her dragoon stone and get stuck in a castle, watching some other bitch walk away with her power and her husbando.And then the rest of the game happens and it gets even worse for her.
>>257688643
Rafa was perfect for item hunting because low bravery was required to get the good items, and Rafa had minimal bravery and wouldn't run away like a generic.
Beyond that though they were complete bullshit.
>>257695442
She's a fucking BEAST in Golden, though.
>>257686994
But Lucia is the opposite of useless. Unless you're talking about story relevance, but Shadow Hearts Covenant is basically Yuri's Crazy Adventures in the Early 20th Century Part II (with Special Guests Anastasia and Kurando).
At least she's not mopey and obsessive and doomed like Karin is.
God job making one of the main characters fucking useless because of your shit programming Bioware.
>>257686994
All the fuckers in ni no kuni
>>257695828
Shapeshifting didn't cripple her that bad. Fuck, Sten didn't even GET a second spec. Morrigan is a mage in a game where magic is OP as fuck.
>>257695694
Whole second game was unnecessary, really.
>>257695630
Grinded. I essentially used every single potion I had to just get them to Jensen and Ming. I basically sat at the save point for an hour loading just to make sure I didn't waste too much just so I could get past, and once I did it was another hour or two before I could reliably go through that fire cave.

>>257696117
He's outclassed in magic by (I think) 3 other characters, and while his Awaker's ability is neat, it's not even usable in a combo so it's shit.

What a useless piece of shit.

And they kept forcing her into your party
>>257696105
>not making her a mage with a whole shitload of AP to transfer to other characters
>>257696453
This game was so laughably bad it hurts even now.
>not basing your party by how attracted you are to them
Fucking plebs don't even RPG
>>257695647
She really did. You know, I would have been really interested to see Meru get an option to use Wingly magic or Shana use moon child stuff.
Though nothing made me feel less cheated than Lloyd never becoming a true party member. They wouldn't even have to give him a dragoon form, just let him use mundane attacks in his normal attire and have his transformation be his armor with magic.
>>257696345
kek
Seriously, why was this fuck even in the game?
>>257696583
As a kid, I was really confused and thought Lloyd's fancy armor upgrade meant he was a dragoon. I was super disappointed when I was wrong and he didn't join up. I thought the storyline with Miranda's blind sister would lead to his redemption and joining up.kind of like a special power ranger.
Man, Legend of Dragoon really has some toku themes, looking back on it...
Completely fucking pointless.
>>257696345
Well she was Deis after all.

>>257696317
What a qt. Would have in party/10
One of the few cases where I wish I checked a guide before starting the game to avoid getting this junk character as a permanent member.
>>257697042
I didn't even know he had a face and was some weird tentacle head nigger.
>>257695442
She's great for grinding.
But yeah, runs out of sp way too quickly for bosses
>>257696915
>got the best girl in the end
lucky bastard
>>257696862
He seems to fit the bill. Colorless alignment, finishing blow on Divine Dragon, HAD the dragoon spirit, and clearly the strongest candidate for it.But since the player identifies with Dart, having yourself upgrade to the divine dragoon is probably the more satisfying option, though I would have gladly forgone that to have a fully-fledged additional party member.

Why are Japs so obsessed with tarot cards?

Is it part of their retarded superstition? Like with blood types? They're even more superstitious and irrational than the USA/Poland (but less so than say... Muslims)
>>257697301
It's no wonder too, just check out that hardware.
>>257696317
>Trying to get him to the level requirement before the level ends
I have never restarted a level so much. It's either no one went up to him so he was underleveled or everyone went up to him and he died in that turn.
Like 75 percent of the recruitable characters in Baldur's gate 1.
50 percent in Baldur's gate 2.

Dude. Her best ability gives you like, tier 5 solomon keys to everyone in battle.
Everyone turns into Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star if she's there. She becomes worth more than anyone else due to that ability. The combos you can pull off.... INSANE
>>257697535
don't forget jojo. and it's not like they give that shit any real weight. they find it quaint and neat. with all the religion that's come and gone through japan nobody really takes any of it seriously. people take what they like of whatever they like
>>257696441
>And blue magic in FFX fucking sucked.
Square made up for it by making blue magic in FFXI fucking glorious.
But it wasn't in the base game (2002). Had to wait until like 2006 or 2007 to get the class through an expansion.
>>257697874
>that's come and gone through japan nobody really takes any of it seriously

which is bunk science from some 20th century Japanese "scientist"

She's amazing, dude. Sure, Kanji and Larry are better, but Naoto is easily the best choice for the final spot.
>>257698725
Okay, but even so, she's a character that can learn every single passive and every single active move. There's absolutely no reason to keep her out for someone who can only use one type of move.

Her -dynes do shit damage because she has crap MA and no boost/amps, Mind Charge doesn't help. Same goes for whatever physical skills she has. I'll give you Heat Riser, I guess, but otherwise she's garbage
What the fuck were they thinking with that moveset?
>>257696317
Once you get him and max his level before changing class he gets pretty good
>>257699087
I just never invested enough in her to give her the white/shadow/black lvl up skills. I was shit at managing my immortals skill set (my Seth still has steal for w.e reason), and I already had 3 mages, so no real need for her.

>>257699875
Once you get to the optional bosses, and particularly anything in the DLC you'll understand how worthless everyone but the immortals are. Not having Sarah is excluding yourself from doing an extra 18000 damage to the DLC boss for example.

is the joke supposed to be every fire emblem has a character like him and pointing out otherwise means you started with awakening or something
>>257696851
I used him in my squad maybe once, and that was because I tried to use everyone at least once.
Driest personality imaginable and ugly design (his clothing at least)
>>257700810
>Only way to make this thing useful is to exploit a glitch.
Yeah fuck this thing
>>257700780
Pretty much
http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Est
Go play other Fire Emblems if you're only familiar with Awakening. It's at least 600 hours of gameplay.
>>257702216
i think it's more likely to weed out autists that care about correctness rather than FE:A fans is the thing though
>>257694836
>this+final fantasy disc
she is suddenly the most useful party member
>>257702323
>caring about the truth
>being an autist
Pick one, or gobble the mass media's dick more
>>257702449
That's a hell of an escalation over a Fire Emblem character, the point is it's clearly supposed to trick people and anyone correcting it is one of those autists that try to correct people for making a joke.
>>257686994
I haven't seen an opinion so wrong in my life.
>>257702550
>not understanding the joke
Only Awakening babbies would correct it, because they all think Donnel isn't an Est archetype
>>257700050
Dang, she's a qt. What makes her useless?
>>257702725
Dragoons as a class were considered useless in FFXI because other damage dealing classes like Monk and Warrior did way more damage with more utility.
The armor design is top-notch though
>>257702719
I know, I get that. I'm just saying I think it's more likely the people responding to that image aren't just FE:A babies but people who can't stand seeing wrong things. You'd see similar if you tried to say Est is shit.
>>257702892
Weren't they really good at soloing though?
>>257698413
Chie is awesome, and pic related is best team.
>>257703491
>Yosuke
how about no
I don't know if I just used him wrong, but I never really ended up using him at all. He had to have like 5 sustained abilities on to seem effective and then he lacked the stamina to do anything besides blow his load once and then just get fucking rekt by everything.
It's really a shame because he was the most amusing party member to keep active, too.
>>257703950
2H in DA:O was just terrible
>>257703108
they were decent at it, yeah. Beastmasters and Blue Mages were way better at solo. Ninja and Red Mage were decent too.
But the game revolved around parties of 6 to do anything and everything (even gaining levels) so the perception of the general server toward classes was pretty important.
>>257704052
>>257703950
Oh, and I forgot to mention, I actually ended up using a shitload in awakening. I got tired of Justice so I re-specced Oghren to be a ghostly little tank-midget and it was amazing.
>>257686994
>Lucia
>Useless
Her skill was useful as FUCK
Why does every Tales game need to have a token kid character? Each one is more annoying than the last.
Waking Cloud from Honest Hearts is completely unnecessary in just about every way.
Just about every fight she'd end up knocked the fuck out if it's more than like, one White Leg. Her perk for having her around is also dumb.
Can't do shit on her own.
Shulk is pretty bad too if you leave him to the AI
>>257704650
You don't have to use Shulk in your party, though.
Oftentimes I'd just use Melia in place of him, and control her. Her DPS is off the charts.
>>257698413
>Implying her fucking punt isn't the best thing ever.
Too squishy.
>>257694750
Or would be, if you could switch out to another character after self destruct. But if self destruct fails to kill everything, then you are left with only 2 fighters for the rest of the battle.
>>257695828
Shapeshifting was useless, but she still was an OP piece of shit because she was a mage
She carried me through the game
>>257705353
When other two MCs can completely block phys/mag damage it doesn't really matter.
>>257705682
This.
Delta Shield & Shield of Justice were so ridiculously OP. Healing items being plentiful and cheap also helped.
>>257704790
Wait wait wait wait wait the fuck up.
You don't have to use Shulk? Who gets the Monado "see into the future" mechanic then?
Was I living a lie?
>>257705954
Shulk's only required for boss battles
And it's smart to use him against mechanoids
But beyond that, you don't have to.
>>257694452
If you break into Auron's spheres as soon as possible he becomes a slightly shittier Auron.

Nigga what? Nice Aid Smash is one of the best healing artes because it's instantaneous, and coupled with Love Shot can heal faster than Estelle. He's not as broken as spamTidalWaveRita or infinitecomboYuri but he's a fucking solid party member.
>>257704650
Shulk is actually pretty good if you let the AI control him although you want to control him for boss fights.
>World of AGI

>>257698583

>>257706940
Cielo was worse than useless in the first volume. Having him in the active party pretty much guaranteed that the enemy would get twice as many turns, whereas not having anyone at all meant that you only missed out on one turn.
But then you get fucked over if you try to bench him in the second volume, because they dramatically improved him, and he's the only character that doesn't drop out of the party once he joins.
>>257696105
Hybrids always suck in JRPGs, kinda annoying

The joke doesn't really work though because there's always people who think Est-like characters are always great and others who think they're universally terrible.
>>257686994
I don't know who she is, I've never played the game but I'd definitely choose her because of her feet.
>>257697098
>playing with a ton of mods
>all those druid only items
>Jaheira has -12 AC and has a staff +4 that strikes 6D6 lightning
This fat piece of shit
Actually, all non-PC characters suck at first because the game forces you to grind with them when they're level 1 pathetic. He still sucks after you level him up though.
>>257719306
Donnel is actually halfway decent. In the long run, aptitude is great for getting base stats nice and high.
>>257720525
His problem was that his attack was just too god damn slow. The enemy's going to smack you and interrupt your attack every fucking time.
Objectively.
>>257706940
He was great in the second one just slap on Null Charm and Null Panic
>>257705353
Yes, she was squishy. But dat magic and swashbuckler moves. I used her to cure or do support every move if I wasn't defending/using spirit to do the pirate crew shit.
God, I really want to replay this game, now.
>>257719553
wat? Taro was an amazing healer and Hanako has some of the best buffs you can get, even with the limited range, and its not like you need to grind to get such skills, some decent equipment and ONE pass through the item world (or some past stages) and bam!, credit to team!
If you ever make the mistake of advancing a unit into the Heavy Armor or Monk class then you may as well restart the game.

I have literally never lost in battle after Shadow Yukiko in hard mode, played with Kanji-Teddie-Naoto (Kanji-Teddie-Yosuke before Naoto)
>>257720945
>Cleric with best WIS stat in the game
>useless
Yeah, no. Maybe if you were playing a cleric MC, but only then.
>Hey cool, I wonder what this new Party Member does
>His Limit Break turns him into an uncontrollable monster that does nothing but heal the first boss you encounter after getting him
>>257695343
Fuck you, no party members from the Paper Mario series belong in this thread.
>>257721125
>singe class clerics
>good
enjoy your 1 attack per round.
>>257686994
This hot piece of ass
infinite resting meant you could just have the mage cast knock and the resident meatshield tank the traps
also doesn't help she's worth shite in combat
>>257721146
Other than his Limit Break, he is one of the best party members due to his high magic stat

nigga please raven is waste of party slot
Is there a single WRPG with a good non-magical party member that isn't Ultima? Seems like every fucking one of them wants you to roll a team of wizards.
>>257722283
non-D&D based rpg's are usually okay
>>257722283
Conversely, magic seems shit in most JRPGs. Using a limited pool of MP to do stuff physical guys can do better anyway.

>Lowest endgame damage potential in a game all about dpt
>Overdrives are completely outshone by Rikku's Mixes
>Retarded starting position means he's a shitter version of Lulu, Wakka, Tidus or Rikku
Even Auron was better endgame, if only for his celestial weapon effect and a limit break that hits twice.
>>257722454
Despite how it's disliked Final Fantasy XIII avoids this, all the magic using classes are just as important as the physical ones, it also has the distinction of a class based around status effects being really good.
>>257695442
Wait, really? I just beat P4 after playing it for the first time this past month, vanilla PS2 version, and Naoto was a goddamn beast.
>Set her to restore 7 MP per turn
>Mind Boost + Megidola + Tarukaja(cast on her by Chie or MC) = Massive damage on all bosses
>Wrecks regular shadows, especially in the last three dungeons since almost all are weak to either light or dark
>No weakness whatsoever
She and Yukiko were godsends against bosses.
>>257721058
Except Taro was only healing himself which is as useless as using healing item from item bag and with shitty range of Hanako's buffs she always gets 1-shot by any enemy the next turn after buffing. Her attacks are also fucking useless. Taro is alright with attacks but he's close range ONLY and doesn't have any good area of effect attacks. In other words, both are shit and any generic humanoid character or most monsters are much more useful than then.
>>257698271
The grind for his shit, man. Blitzball is so dull.

>>257714959
Edward isn't too bad if you level him up.
He was better than post coma Yang, at least.
>>257721146
Second most powerful character in the game, good luck getting him there though.
>>257694827
>>257694174
Meru have the highest combo addition increase percentage which can go up to a whooping 600%. Which combined with her incredible speed means she can actually deal very good physical dps.
>>257722945
2% of the time.
>>257689097
I dropped Geppetto as soon as I could.
>>257716982
You needed her for double loli-bot special though, just put the healing/energy refill things on her and you're good to go. I've got your real useless character right here.
>>257694032
I liked her thoughThis game looks so fucking good on PSCX, better than most current/previous gen games
>>257721146
>Not having a party of just Yuffie and Vincent
What's the point of having a top tier party in a game as easy as FFVII anyways? I just hate the lack of dialogue they have.
>>257723546
Yuffie was useful, the conformer was basically necessary to farm sources.
>ctrl +f
>no sharla
Seriously, Riki outclassed her for healing and doesn't even do any major damage to the enemies. Also she the stupidest mechanic for her Talent Gauge.
>>257696317
gotta pass galeforce somehow
>>257688643
What are Sokka and Katara doing in FFT ?
>>257721454
>not summoning dickloads of skeletons/using her to heal and buff
it's not even remotely necessary to have her in melee.
>>257699415
>He didn't get the Bufudyne Gun from the nightshop in P4G
Well done lame-o, my Naoto did the most damage aside from the MC with Yoshitsune. Also her ultimate ability in golden is broken as fuck against Margaret hardmode.
