Poll: Most Useless Final Fantasy character

[Miles Tormani]

Out of these, I have to go with Penelo.

Quina I at least found amusing, and forking people was awesome. Also, never doubt the power of Mighty Guard. Ever.
Cait Sith I also find amusing, and he does have pretty good attack strength as I remember. Plus, the Dice limit break is great in terms of direct unblockable damage.
Rikku increased my inventory like crazy, so she gets off the hook right away.

Penelo, on the other hand... ugh. She has crappy stats all around, and her attitude is more annoying than Vaan's. Then again, I hated pretty much the entire cast of FFXII, so I may be biased.

If Fran was on here, she'd be getting my vote instead.

EDIT: I saw someone bring up Quina helping a lot for Ozma, here was my strategy. Equip everyone with shadow-proof or shadow-absorbing armor. Put Vivi in party. Spam Doomsday. Try to get Ozma to spam Doomsday as well. Now you have Vivi healing your party and doing crazy damage to Ozma, and Ozma is also healing your party and doing crazy damage to itself. Win.

I may have gotten lucky, but the way it worked out was hilarious.

(On that note, anyone who says Vivi sucks is wrong. Automatically.)

Wasn't Cait Sith really useful for something if you lvl'd him?
I seem to remember him being good in some way.

Riku I guess.

 

[Enigmers]

If Fran was on here, she'd be getting my vote instead.

Fran had a very important role in FFXII: Giving Balthier a fist-bump.

 

[Miles Tormani]

Rikku I guess.

On that note, I want to bring something up in particular. What the hell, Square? Why the hell did you name two different characters from two completely different names, with completely different attitudes (and genders, even), with such similar names? Riku and Rikku? What the crap?

Balthier's fist-bump was Luke Skywalk-- Er, I mean, Vaan.

Bah. Double post. My bad for not editing, and there's no way to delete this post so I can edit it into the previous one. Damn it.

 

[Enigmers]

Hope. Ugh whos idea was it to put Justin Beiber in a Final Fantasy game?

Well, they turned their back on the old fan-base and bad to find a new one...

 

[Lyri]

Rikku I guess.

I guess I fixed for you, though it's an easy spelling error to make, so you may have been talking about Riku. Feel free to correct me and I'll edit away the "fix."

Look at the poll, I'm right.
Also, because Google stops people from making silly posts.

Riku:- http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Riku&meta=&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
Rikku:- http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Rikku

 

[Miles Tormani]

Look at the poll, I'm right.

Okay, what the hell. The poll clearly says "RIKKU," and you typed "RIKU." I thought it was a perfect time to point out the stupidity of Square's choice to have similarly named characters in Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts.

Also, because Google stops people from making silly posts.

Riku:- http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Riku&meta=&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
Rikku:- http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Rikku

Nice job completely passing over the obvious fact that I know what the hell I'm talking about. I don't need a Google search to know that Riku is the dude from KH and Rikku is the chick from FFX.

You want to be an asshole further?

Somebody is an angry bear, internet tough guy cometh!

Srsly I misread your fix for my post, calm down Captain.

Apology accepted.

For the record, I tend to respond like an asshole when someone acts like an asshole to me. That's just how I am.

Thanks for sharing that insight.

Thanks for sharing that insight.

*nods* Sorry for aiming the hate-cannon at you this time. Maybe it's my fault for sounding a bit like an asshole in the first place with the oh so hated "Oh I fixed your quote" comment. Maybe it would've been better if I did it silently. Or better yet, not at all.

Why the hell did I even do that? I never do that, because I always thought it was pretentious. Especially since so many people do it in such a way to correct an opinion rather than a spelling error.

God, I feel like such a pretentious dick now.

 

[mikerotch]

how is wakka not on that list? he is by far the most uselss charecter oh let me throw a blitzball at you and do 2 damage!

Nah, you did fine don't worry about it.
My bad for misreading.

Let's take the easy route and blame Square for making two characters with names that differ with a single "k." You hear me Square? This Internet tough guy argument would never have happened if you didn't name your damn characters like this!

But, seriously. I hate Penelo.

I'm all for removing the letter K from the Alphabet.
*shakes fist*

 

[NeoGenesis59]

Quina, she is worthless, so I never used her in my party.

 

[blalien]

You forgot Blackbelt. Definitely Blackbelt. Basically inferior to Fighter in every way, except for upkeep cost, which is irrelevant at high level.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

I would say Rikku, but throwing enough money at an enemy did 9999 damage. Also, I love fanservice. Like when she takes of the diving suit.


Combat-wise. Cait Sith, or rather

Spoiler: Not that big of a spoiler, but still.

Reeve

As I named him. Dammit his limit breaks suck. At least Tifa could suplex things.

Most useless:
10: Lulu. Even my Kimarhi was a beast. She's a weaker caster than Yuna

Lulu also became redundant towards the end of the game as Yuna has better magic, and easier to access celestial weapon and can easily break into her section on the sphere grid.

Sorry, you mentioned magic or something, my thoughts were here:[youtube=eBtN1i3O4fY
