Haven't used Vincent before but thats cause his Limit break has always seemed kinda bad

just play the game for fun. you don't need to do a challenge run or anything for the game. use whichever characters that you want to.

I just renewed my FF XIV subscription.
Uh oh.

Gotta commit at least for beating Stormblood (I started the game on PS4 and then moved on PC otherwise I wouldn't have never kept with it...so, unfortunately, had to activate the subscription).

Man that menu is so simple but behind it lied a world , a game a story that shook gaming to its very core and it all started here with a screen featuring a sword and that's it.....

The most refined Final Fantasy , the fact that all playable characters level up when you level up is such a blessing and a quality of life improvement that should have been included in FF8/FF9

Btw you asked about what characters you should use and i suggest the characters you use the least it's a sort of going out of comfort zone type thing you know?

i will disagree with this to an extent. it is something that is more helpful on a second or later playthrough.
on a first playthrough, you should level up your characters manually; mostly so that you know what the character is capable of. otherwise, you'll just pick the characters that you like and use them solely. and at some point, you might or will lose access to that character for story reasons, and then suddenly, you have to use characters that you've never interacted with. you might lose interest in playing the game if that happens. it's a low chance, but it exists.
also, if you don't use a character, you might forget to upgrade their weapons and armor. sure, the character is high level, but that doesn't mean much with starter gear. my aunt beat rune factory 1 on her own and she had a very tough time with the final boss of the game. she was in the 50's for her level. the reason for her tough time?
she had the starting gear equipped. she never changed it because she didn't know how to. she unintentionally did a hardcore challenge that i would never do.
and i know for a fact that pokemon fans would disagree with the auto exp sharing amongst your party members.

Fair assessment , i personally didn't run into such issue as i updated all the characters gear when unlocking new armor and weapons it can happen but it also keeps all characters more or less on bar with each other thus you can switch comfortably

Oh definitely. Its not my favorite ff but its easily second.

As for my party members I've never actually used the optional characters outside of maybe 1 or 2 battles so I think I'll use them.

Agreed doesn't have to be a favorite to think it's where the stars aligned type situation.

Kek quite the opposite i used barret less than vincent , i actually made the fight in the mountains after cloud village harder by having vincent activate his ultimate he kept healing the boss XD , the least used character for me was cait sith i just don't like him and i was proven right later by the story after he did what he did i stripped him of all materia.

Another one worth mentioning is Cid pretty underrated for me i didn't use him much despite him using a spear which is like my favorite medieval weapon it's mainly about coming up with new strategies and playstyles other than the proven formula you use in your playthroughs
