I find this rather interesting. Here's a situtation (when you have to go on the errand to Oeilvert) where the game gives you a lot of leeway in making a choice, specifically, who you take with you on the errand. Now, from what I understand, if you don't take Steiner with you, then he will lead the group remaining at Kuja's Castle and if you take him with you, but leave Eiko, then she leads. Has anybody tried anything else from there, taking both Steiner and Eiko with them to Oeilvert. From what I figure, that means that there's two more people on the pecking order. There's somebody that leads if you take both Eiko and Steiner and if you also take them, then there's one other character who would take over. I'm curious to know who those would be. I imagine it would be pretty comical if you took Steiner, Eiko and Dagger with you and left Vivi, Quina, Freija and Amarant at the castle.

Yep yep! I've tried different party combos.

If you take Steiner and Eiko, Freya ends up leading the team. If you take Steiner, Eiko, and Freya, Vivi ends up leading the team.

I think Steiner, Eiko, and Freya are the only options. :) Dagger, Quina, and Amarant are left out.

Yeah, that's logical. Obviously, there's a pecking order with a priority on who leads and you can only take three characters with Zidane. So that means that you have to leave three behind and at least one of those four are going to be there.

<font color=red face="comic sans ms">Actually that would all make sense. Garnet isn't really in any sort of position to be able to lead the party at that point due to the storyline, Quina is kinds just an added character and wouldn't be able to lead, and Amarant doesn't really believe in working in a team, so it makes sense for the other four to be the leasers in the palace. :)

Plus at that point of the game, it doesn't seam that Amarant could actually run... It'll take SOOOO long to get out of there just by walking with a specifically slow walker... :) lol :p

I always end up with Freya to be the leader (though I saw Eiko, Steiner, and Freya to be the leader. Never saw Vivi but heard about him being the leader. He's ALWAYS on my team, regardless if there's magic involved or not...). I usually always go to Oilvert with Zidane, Vivi, Eiko, and Steiner...
