Message: [QUOTE="Lena CE, post: 26651, member: 26523"] I'm a big sucker for blue mage type characters in Final Fantasy so I always make sure to use Gau when I replay Final Fantasy 6 and Kimahri when I play Final Fantasy X. The former is a great addition to the team but does require me to add a decent chunk of playtime to just getting him setup to become a menace. The latter is probably the least useful character in the game since they made the baffling choice to make his blue mage style stolen abilities usable only as an Overdrive (FFX's limit break). As a result, he is just an ok melee attacker who is a jack of all trades master of none in that he can do everything, but only 2nd or 3rd best and in a game where you can switch party members mid-battle, so there is no opportunity cost to having those specialists take the turn instead of him. He does get better towards the end of the game as you finally get him into Lulu and Rikku's sphere grid, but he never really surpasses or even matches the alternatives until end game where everyone plays the exact same anyway (where he is still outclassed because he lacks a multi-hit overdrive lol). I just love Kimahri's character and arc so much that combined with my love for blue mages I just have to give him a spot on my main roster even if it is a struggle in the last leg of the game.
