What is the combo of 4 characters that you use in your party? Give a small explanation for each person's usefulness. This thread could help people develop a stronger team to fight and level =P

My Party:

Sabin - Strong physical attacks, blitzes are invaluable
Terra- Good magic and defense
Locke - Speed, and Locke is just plain awesome
Strago - High attack power, blue magic is great for support.

Tell me what you think!

Locke - because he's the best character in the game? He can equip pretty much everything and is invincible with the paladin shield. You cannot land a single punch on this guy because he's so fast and has such a high evade.
Celes - she's pretty strong. She's not as strong as Cyan or Sabin, but she has the ability to use magic. Yes, I know every character can learn magic but.... she's Locke's girlfriend so I can't separate them.
Terra - she's also strong, though not the strongest. I like her because she's cool(one of the coolest characters in ff). Who says you have to use somebody strong on your team? Kefka wasn't even that tough.
Edgar - his tools are very useful, I mean very. Him and Locke make up for Terra and Celes' lack of power. While Locke cannot be touched, Edgar can do decent damage to the enemy. Him and Locke make a great team. He's awesome with the illumina.

If I have to pick a really strong team I would have Locke, Edgar, Cyan, and Sabin. But Kefka really isn't all that tough, so Celes and Terra are good enough.

Sabin - Strong character
Celes - Good magic user and runic comes in handy
Edgar - Tool attacks ;)
Cyan or Terra - Both good characters.. sword tech and her magic.. good :D

when i beat the game, this is the party i used:

ME! :D with the xfer (or whatever it is) and the genji glove, and two good weapons, shadow was my pure-fighter killing machine in the endgame. the xfer gives your character the "x-fight" ability, which gives them 4 hits per attack. the genji glove gives a character two weapons. so with both of them combined, he would hit 8 times for INSANE amounts of damage per combat round. i could do well over 9999 damage each attack round.

terra and celes: the two best magic users in the game had both learned ultima and had a crapload of mp's, so i just had them blindly casting ultima the whole combat. no need for healing or anything, just wail on the big k with ultima.

gogo: gogo was the "hinge" character, so to speak. (s)he was the healer/last attacker. if anyone needed immediate healing, gogo could either cast magic or use an item. if no healing was needed, then "mimic" was used. using that tactic, (s)he would either attack multiple times like shadow or cast another ultima like terra/celes.

kefka didn't last very long with this party. :D

Sabin Rene Figaro
Cyan Garamonde
Gogo
Locke Cole

Sabin smashes everyone with his blitzes, shouldn't be explaned ^_^
Cyan smashes everyone with his Blade, shouldn't be explaned ^_^
Gogo Mimics Sabin's blitzes, or i choose my own skills. Shouldn't be explaned ^_^
Locke smashes everyone with his Stealing ability, shouldn't be explaned ^_^

My favorite feature of forming my own parties is the combination of the diverse abilities. So I would say Locke, because of his steal ability, Sabin, because of Blitz, Cyan, b/c of Swd. Tech, and Strago b/c of Lore. Gau's abilities are just too many to keep up with to use him effectively. Everyone can basically use Magic. So, I rule Terra and Celes out. Gogo, I might throw in the mix because of his versatility. Magic users are my favorite. So, as long as I cover all of the bases, I'm ok with my final party.

I rule with

Sabin lv 99- I attack 8 times, usually killing the enemy or boss instantally.
Terra Lv 99- I use here for attacking with magic ex: Ultima
Edgar lv 99- Tools, or offensive magic.
Mog lv99- Most of the time he uses Healing magic.

Cyan-Powerhouse with Genji Glove, Offering, and the quick spell from Raiden (180,000 damage a round)
Terra-Awesome magic
Sabin-Blitzes.
Locke-He can steal, why else?

my dream team old
terra-best magic good atk
edgar-tools and magic
sabin-good atk and cool blitzs
locke-very ownage char

my new team
cyan-power house with nasty atk
shadow- offensive magic and throw
celes-made her my main atker with atma weapon genji glove offering
gogo-to mimic the 8 hit combo

i switched i cause i played with my dream team to 99 about twice and sabins blitzs are useless after 90+.

FF3 is the greatest game on snes and in my top 3 games of all time.

/bonk SirJecht

You cant mimic X-fight. I've tried countless times =) Gogo will just whack the enemy once.

I use:
Terra: Mainly becuase I start off with her, and she's useful
Locke: Very very useful for his magic and stealing abilities
Setzer: good magic and the slot is great because it can damage or heal
Sabin: I really trained him up, so that's the main reason, especially since I can't use blitzes well.

Celes
Terra
Shadow
Locke

Celes and Terra are Ultimate with the Atma Weapon and the Illumina, ether one is good.

My favourite party to use is:

Edgar: He's got pretty good magic and his tools can kick, esp. the drill

Terra: She's all around a good character, and when she morphs, she gets even stronger.

Setzer: I just always liked the stuff he could do. Sure, he wasn't a really good physical attacker until you got the Doom Darts or Fixed Dice, but the rest of the stuff wasn't that bad.

Sabin: He was there more for the physical strength than for anything else. Once Duncan teaches him th Bum Rush blitz, he's especially useful.

Terra- HI! main character most powerful magic user. put her with the illumina and paladin shield and she is indsetructible!

Sabin- He has the Highest attack and I made his vigor go into the hundreds! with a genji glove and offering he does around 30-40 thousand damage eacht turn But I cannot get the hang of using his blitz...when ever it requires a diagonal move I can't pull it off. Help anyone?

Strago- Grand train does max damge every time. pearl wind is nice too

Shadow- throw is very nice. A genji glove helps to

Bye Bye Kefka:D

Sabin- blitzes are my fav. ability
Edgar- chainsaw...yipee
Celes- She can use atma weapon and she has good magic
Cyan or Mog

Here's how to do diagonal in the blitz, as far as I can remember. I know that if you push another arrow button it works. i.e. for Aura Bolt push: down, down left, for Fire Dance push left, left, down, down, right, etc.

Locke- big streangth, and his steal ability helps a lot.
Terra- morph, high magic and extremly good evasion (well for me at least).
Sabin- blitz
Edger- his tools, and good use of weapons.


ssj10Goku

1st team
Gau-when you get him shock(that took about 9 of the longest hours of gaming in the world)he can do 9999 damage wit it.
Cyan-It's all about the Sword Techs
Shadow-I love Interceptor
Sabin-Love that Bum Rush! :)

2nd team
Umaro-Gimmie Green cherries, LOTS OF EM'!!
Setzer-wit the offering and the genji glove and fixed dice and his other best weapon he's unbeatable
Edgar-He's my hero!! the olden day Tim the Toolman
Mog-Kupo? why not Kupo!

Macker:eye:

fav party:

Terra: strong magic.
Edgar: strong physical.
Sabin: strong special.
Locke: stealing.

My first char. combo ... this is on the snes version.


Locke : X-Fight

Terra : X-Magic , Quick Ultima Combo

Sabin : Bum Rush

Gogo : Mimic Terra.



Second char. combo


Edgar : X-Fight

Shadow : X-Magic

Gau : Imp Setup : Imp Halbred , Imp Armor , Tortoise Shield ,Imp Hat ( forgot the name of the helmet ) This makes you pretty much immune to most attacks and strong.. gau's only real use.

Cyan : X-Fight

i agree:D

Sabin Blitzs rule. Locke can steal and is agile as sin. Strago and His Lore Magic Blue Mags rule, and Finally Edgar his tool skill is great in a fight.

Cyan: 8hit combo
Celes: economizer+ultima/cure3
Locke: economizer+ultima
Shadow-: economizer+ultima

well mine usually is

sabin:quick then (with the genji glove&offerring)16times of 9999
cyan:quick then quadra slice
locke:main healer and uses illumina
depends setzer(for the fixed dice with the offering)or gau(with his leo rage):uh?: hmm think that does it

Gau: His Pterdon, Metasaurus (don't think that's right. Uses Step Mine) or SirBehemoth Rage. Plus, when using Rage, he attacks as soon as his bar is full, which is handy when I'm using...

Cyan: Quadra Slice. Porbelm is, it takes a while to reach it. While I'm waiting, Gau attacks. Also his physical strength

Sabin: Blitz. I mainly use Firedance, Aura Blast or Air Blade

The last one can be either:
Gogo for his mimicking skills; Edger for his tools and attack or Mog for his strong magic. Also makes a good Dragoon. When I use Dance, he atomatically attacks, which is handy when I'm getting Cyan's SwordTech to build up.

Gau, Cyan and Sabin are always in my party.

all you need is mog. hes invinsible with thunder sheild snow muffler genji helm and gradeus. he never takes more than 1 damage.
