I forgot about that. Ovelia and Wiegraf were always the hardest for me to take.

Accumulate and speed break is broken.

What are the Final Fantasy mysogny power rankings?

Her only redeeming feature was that due to her low bravery she was the best at getting items from the Deep Dungeon.

You ever use some of the more underpowered or idiosyncratic characters? What was the point of Rafa?

I was always partial to all the special sword wielders (other than Cid). Agrias, Melisomething, Cloud and Beowulf.

It really does.

Tactics kind of has this problem to with the huge number of specialty kits that join later in the game with few job skills. Also, putting the Thunder God in that game is a very strange design choice: here have a guy that can one shot or severely cripple almost everything in the game. Also, give him permahaste,…

The re release of the game for psp (War of the Lions) fixes some of the worst translation problems dealing with clarity. However, it does replace it with some stilted ye Olde English talk. Sometimes, I think half of the charm of these old RPG is the frankly bizarre localization.

Delita's arc in that game is my favorite final fantasy character arc (the only real contender is Vivi's). I like how he well he learns his lessons and functions as a kind of bizzaro Wiegraf. Wiegraf takes his anger at the nobility, tries to maintain his nobility, and flails ineffectually at the status quo,…

The FF7 vs. FF6 debate always feels like it mostly comes down to whichever one you played first.

Awesome!

I am pretty early still, but there are two party members in the first town (and I hear customizable henchmen later). One is a tanky type the other is a water/lightening mage with a heal. Picking those guys up will help.

Playing from 1 to ToB provides a pretty incredible arc. In the beginning, the party can easily get destroyed by a couple wolves.

I play Baldur's Gate 2 every year. I gave never got the pantaloons all the way through.

This is a good question. I am going to go with Baldur's Gate 2 as I think this one provides the best synthesis of the genre: wide open strategic combat, great writing, plenty of exploration (but a strong linear storyline) and fun characters.

Well the fights are fiendishly difficult (at least in my opinion).

I'll be playing Divinity: Original Sin. Baldur's Gate 2 is my favorite game ever, and man does this game scratch an itch. The game combines the fun strategic options of BG2 and XCOM with the out of combat flexibility of the first two Fallouts (you can talk your way out of a number of boss encounters). The game…

This sounds like my game except I arranged to inherit England as France. And the HRE totally controls Burgundy.
