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.

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...

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 motivation her rivalry with Veronica and her past involvement with SG but they NEVER EVER bring it up again after the prison 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.

The entity known as Sharanda is good for two things: their Dragoon Magic and tossing magic items. Always thought MirandaShana was shit until I actually tried out magic items with them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
