Battle Skill: Morph - Transforms Terra into a purple ghost thingy. Kinda reminds me of Y. Bakura ^^;

Gaming over-view:

Terra is the main character, and was controlled by the empire. Now she fights with the RETURNERS to stop Kefka and his empire. At first, Terra's hps are by far the lowest, but that doesn't matter once you get her level into the 50 -60 range, where she can unleash the best spells ever! Overall, though, she may just be the weakest character.

I love Terra! Absolutely love her! She's smart, has tons of magic, and when she morphs, she schools the bad guys! I almost always have her in my party, especially in Kefka's tower! Raise her magic stats, MP, and speed, along with equipping the Gem Box and a Hero's ring, and she's unbeatable! Like I said before, I love Terra!

Locke

Battle Skillz: Steal - Steal an opponents' item(s)

Capture - Steal an opponents' item and attack at the same time!

Gaming over-view:

Locke is the one who saves Terra and Celes from the Empire. He's pretty cool, and is the fastest character unless you get Shadow. And... HE'S A THIEF! You gotta love thieves, right?! Locke has good HP in the beginning, but as far as magic goes... This guy is more a fighter than a magician.

Personal Rating: 4

Locke is a cool person, and he likes to show off to the girls, though not as much as Edgar. Another thing to consider.. FREE ITEMS!! Mwuhahahahaha!! If it wasn't for the fact that Locke can't use magic very well, he'd be first in my team. Awww...

Edgar

Battle Skill: Tool - Edgar uses some funky tool(s) to do some odd effects to most enemies.

Gaming over-view:

Edgar is just one big flirt. But on the inside, he really does care for his friends! He's a king who pretends to support Kefka, but is really trying to stop FF's funniest little psycho. Edgar has really good HP and is a decent magician. However, near the end of the game, his Tools become less and less effective.

Rating: 5

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 2

I really like using Edgar. He's a balanced character, and for the first half of the game, probably one of the best multi-target attackers. I just wish he'd stop flirting with everyone! ><;

Sabin

Battle Skill: Blitz - Use an awesome attack by pressing the right button combos. May cause unusual effects.

Gaming Over-view:

Sabin is Edgar's twin brother who left Figuro for freedom. He looks like a bodybuilder, so he's obviously strong. He has the highest HP's of all characters, and has the best strength. Sometimes he acts like a baby, but that only proves he has a BIG heart!

Rating: 8

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 3

Sabin ROCKS! He's one of the best in the game, no doubt from his inhuman strength! He's useful in every scenario given. Although he has the lowest magical abilities, he doesn't friggin' need them! Sure, give him Cure or Cure2, and maybe a Drain spell, but don't bother turning this dude into a magician. A fighter is all you'll need from him!

Bannon

Battle Skill: Health - Restore a little HP to party.

Gaming Over-view:

I don't even know why I'm putting Bannon here, since you only use him for an hour at the most. He's the leader of the RETURNERS, and therefore supposedly the wisest mage ever. Yeah, right. If that's true, why do you get a GAME OVER if he dies?!

Rating: 1

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: Forget 10, he gets 15!

I can't stand Bannon. He sucks. He's weak, slow, and if he faints, you automatically lose. What's the fun in that?! Even worse, you can't equip armor or weapons to make him stronger! Why'd they put this freak in the game anyway?!?!?!

Mog

Battle Skill: Dance - select up to eight different dances for various effects. Each dance has four randomly selected attacks for Mog to use.

Gaming Over-view

Mog is by far the most beloved character in FF6. Let's face it. He's cute, he's fluffy, and he slam-dances! Although not a good character at the end of the game, Mog is fun to play around with!

Rating: Forget 10, Moggy gets 1,000,000!!

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 1 (when I'm not using Terra)

I love Mog, probably even more than Terra! He reminds me of a big kitty you can cuddle and squeeze! If you have the time to get him to lv. 99, he absolutely rocks! (I did that, so I know!) Other than that, though, he kind of pales in everything. I mean, he's good at everything, but he's not GREAT at anything without Esper assistance unlike Sabin or Terra. Yeah, he is kind of weak at first, but he's MOG!

Celes

Battle Skill: Runic - Absorb an enemy spell and receive MP equal to cost of spell (works on ally spells too/only usable if equipped with a sword)

Gaming Over-view

Celes is pretty cool, but not my first choice. She's an awesome addition when you head into the Magi-tek Research Facility, and in the world of Ruin. Her magic seconds only Terra's.

Rating: 7

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 5

Like I said, Celes is cool. She takes nothing from anyone! Let's say that you wouldn't want to meet this chica in a dark alley with nothing but your blanket, or she'll rip you to shreds! If you join Kefka, then she'll REALLY give you hell!

Shadow

Battle Skill: Throw - throw useless weapons or ninja stars at enemies. Different THROW items have many effects, such as poison, or even making Shadow disappear!

Gaming Over-view

Shadow's a very quiet and extremely random character. And he's no cheapskate. After you find him in Sabin's scenario, he'll leave and it'll cost 3000 GP just to get him to join you! Even then he might leave if you do something stupid. His speed is only obsolete to Locke, and his HPs are pretty decent. His dog, if it attacks, causes a good 900 points of damage to an enemy!

Rating: 6

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 10

Don't get me wrong. I love ninjas, but I have to put 10 since I can never find Shadow, and therefore never use him. There lies the problem with my opinion. Is it fair? Or should I just try to find the little freak?!
UPDATE!: I just recently found out that on the Floating Continent, if you don't wait for Shadow, and you leave the continent without him, he dies. That is why I can't find him! ^^;

Cyan

Battle Skill: SrdTech - Use a different SrdTech by waiting a certain amount of time.

Gaming Over-view

Cyan is one cool guy! Well, okay, not really. He walks around in big, clunky armor and talks like a Knight of Yore. Honestly, he's not a good character by any means. His magic is very weak, and he's not fast. Just give himk some cure magic and that should do it for him.

Rating: 2

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 4

I don't use Cyan that much, despite the fact I think he's awesome! Alot of you agree, probably. He might be slow, but his SrdTechs are AWESOME! He can slash some dude 4 times without a sweat! Who wouldn't love that?! So, if you gamers think Cyan sucks, I think YOU suck. YOU try hacking some guy 4 times in 10 seconds!

Gau

Battle Skillz: Rage - Use an attack used by the list of enemies selected.

Leap - Learn different attacks from enemies. (Only usable on the Veldt)

Gaming Over-view

Gau is a wild one. Plain and simple. He can't speak well, and just check out his hair! Gau has moderate HP, but his Attack and Magic scores don't do anything since all he can do is use Rage or Items. Giving him an Esper is useless unless you give him one that raises HP by XX% with a level up. And if he manages to use a magic spell that an enemy would use (EXP. A Ghost who uses Fire) the spell would only do half the normal damage anyway.

Rating: 1

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 8

I hate Gau almost as much as I hate Bannon. Well, not hate, but he certainly isn't useful in battle. In fact, the only attack I make him do is use M-Tek Armor's Tek Laser, which is only a mild attack anyway. But since I'm bored, and you might be too, I like to see just how many of his Rages I can get him to learn.
UPDATE!: I experimented with Gau, and on FF Anthology, they added it in so he CAN use magic. Although he's not as good as Terra or Relm, train him up with Zoneseek attached and that is soon remedied. Why train him with magic? Because there's not much else you can train him with.

Setzer

Battle Skillz: Slot - A random spin with random effects. If you're unlucky enough to get two BARs and a 7, you lose.

Coin - Does damamge equal to the amount of GP you have with you. 3000 GP - 3000 damages.

Gaming Over-view

Setzer is like Cait Sith from FF7. You only need him for a little while, then you never play as him again, mainly because his attacks are so darn risky! When you first get Setzer, he'll probably have the highest HP in the party thus far, unless you've seriously been leveling up. Overall, though, I don't trust him in a heavy battle. He can't use magic very well, and his attack is only slightly better than the enemy. But he's fun to play with!

Rating: 9

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 6

To me, Setzer is more a novelty than a character. But he's funny, and I think he was the base for Sephiroth on FF7. I mean, look at the similarities! Anyway, I like to use Setzer with Gau, Cyan, and Gogo/Umaro, only for comical relief.

Strago

Battle Skill: Lore - Use a spell specifically learned by enemies (Blue Magic)

Gaming Over-view

Like all great RPGs, you need the Blue Mage. And boy does Strago fit this job well! Unfortunately, he has so little HP that he could very possibly get knocked out before learning a new Lore. If you want to learn heavy Lore, make sure the old fool's HP is over 1500 or more, because one Blow Fish attack drains 1000 HP each hit! Ouch!

Rating: 5

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 4 - 6

Strago may have little HP, but he rocks with Magic. I mean, he's related to the Mages of Yore for crying out loud! He's old, but with age comes wisdom! I use him when I get sick of Terra and Celes. Some of his spells are REALLY useful. Don't underestimate your seniors, kids!

Relm

Battle Skillz: Sketch - Sketch an enemy and use its attacks selected randomly.

Control - Posess an enemy and use a selected attack on either friend or foe. (Fake Mustache required)

Gaming Over-view

Relm is a little more useful than Strago, but then again, granddaughters are supposed to be more vigorous, right? She is the 4th best magician in the game, and I use her high magic to full advantage. Also, Sketch is pretty useful until you reach Kefka's Tower, where this ability is worth squat.

Rating: 4

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 4

Relm is okay, but she can be a little stubborn. The only reason I like her? She's an artist! Other than that, she doesn't rank too high in my book. But you'd never believe she was... Neven mind. Why spoil such an odd plot twist?

Umaro

Battle Skill: ??? - I don't think he has one.

Gaming Over-view

I sadly have almost nothing to tell you about Umaro. He's an optional character, and whether you get him or not doesn't affect the game, though it adds one scene to the ending. Apparently, Mog is his boss, and you need Mog in your party to find Umaro. Umaro is in the Narshe Mines, and you can get him only after you fight Tritoch.

Rating: 1

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: 10

I only put 10 since Umaro is an enigma and you know next to nothing about the guy except that he's a Sasquatch. He's uncontrollable, but you can equip him with basic armor and relics. He can't learn Magic, so I don't use him.

Gogo

Battle Skill: Mimic - Copy the last move taken (friend or foe).

Gaming Over-view

Once again, Gogo is optional. I never got him, since he's so friggin' hard to get to. I don't even remember how you get to him, but the only reason I know about him is because my sister actually found him. Sadly, all he can do is Mimic people, so I say he stinks.

Rating: ????

Sami's unfair opinion

Personal Rating: Depends on the situation.

I actually got Gogo!! And in actuality, he's not that hard to get now that I finally got to him. Anyway, Gogo is also a bit of a risk like Setzer in that all he can do is mimic your last action. I find this a little annoying, as his magic and physical attacks leave a lot to be desired, but he IS useful if you plan on doubling up on Cure3 spells for very little cost. When Gogo mimics a spell your last character cast, he uses 0 MP for the spell. This could have some usefulness... But remember that he cannot mimic summoning Espers.

Leo

Gaming Over-view

Since you only play as Leo for a few minutes, I have no opinion of him other than he is a master of swordplay. Too bad he dies after 5 minutes of play. I thought to put him here anyway. Oh Leo, you're gone but never forgotten.

Kefka

Gaming Over-view

Sorry, folks. I just had to put FF6's funniest psycho in here! He's strong, has tons of wise remarks, and is just crazy! Well, okay, for the first few fights, he's a pansy and runs away from you, but the rest is right. And in the end, he's a freaking monster! No one can top this freak's remarks!

Personal Rating: 1!!!! For the bad guys, anyway!
