What is your favorite party line-up

[Bad_Brett]

Well I Usually mained Vivi,Zidane,Garnet,Steiner

Vivi and Garnet were amesome with their magic so was quina but didn't like his character and steiner with his shock,stock break etc he was really strong
I Liked Freya but She seemed 2nd in power in comparrrison to Steiner in my opinion

Your opinion is wrong. The three characters you're naming are actually the three weakest characters in the game. However, I tend to use them from time to time as well, mostly because of their connection to the story.

Freya is much stronger than Steiner. These two can't even be compared.

I guess Rising Star and I are missing the same thing here. It's been a few years since I last played, but I remember preferring Steiner over Freya because Ragnarok dealt more damage than Kain's Lance, and Shock always dealt 9999. When Steiner was under Trance, normal physical attacks with Ragnarok equipped would also do 9999. Then again, maybe it's because the battle system was slow and I never had the patience for Jump.

Well, since both of you are mentioning Ragnarok (by the way, Freya's best weapon is Dragon's Hair), I assume that you don't just rush through the game and in that case Freya is a lot better if you know how to use her. All you need to do is to kill 100 dragons througout the game, which you very well may do by accident. After that, Dragon's Crest will ALWAYS deal 9999 points of damage against ALL opponents, including Ozma.

Shock is a physical attack that won't even work on Ozma unless you collect those friendly monsters first, and it requires 46 MP instead of 16... Freya also have some useful spells such as Reis's Wind, White Draw and Dragon's Breath, which allows you to deal 9999 points of damage to all enemies.

It's been many years since I played; I was only 13 the last time I did. Needless to say I didn't have much patience for experimenting with Freya's abilities. The only one I ever used was Reis' Wind in the fights with Beatrix. But seeing as you're saying this I'll be sure to give her more time when I play this again.

I thought I had already posted my preferred lineup in this thread but looking back I apparently haven't. In Memoria I used Zidane, Eiko, Steiner and Vivi, switching Vivi for Amarant against the final boss. Zidane would do decent damage with Ultima Weapon, whereas Vivi and Steiner's most powerful abilities were effective against the Four Fiends. I didn't use summons that much, and remembered Eiko being the superior White Mage with Double White, Holy and Full-Life. Amarant, being a Ninja, was always going to be great against the final boss by being able to Throw some of the most powerful weapons. Although from what Brett has said, a properly trained Freya is better than Steiner.
