  • Final Fantasy games are known for their epic scope and large cast of characters, but that doesn’t mean all of them are created equally. In this list, we’ll put the cone of shame on the worst party members we were forced to endure just to save the world and reach the credits. For this list, we’ll suffer through the likes of Quistis, Quina, Hope, Ignis and unfortunately many more. We’re not saying they’re unbearable, just that we roll our eyes when they come on screen. Which character did you dread having in your party? Let us know in the comments.

      @@nancyhoffman4784 Just FF13. Beyond FF13, FF has had its ups & downs but none of those downs even remotely compare to the undisputed blacksheep that is FF13.
      FF14 was crap until Yoshi-P arrived to save that game & turned it into a legit World of Warcraft killer. In an age where MMORPGs are a dying breed & uninspired garbage Live-Service games have unfortunately all but completely replaced traditional MMO games, FF14 thankfully continues to remain strong & consistently provides players with quality content, updates & phenomenal expansion packs.
      FF15 is flawed and had a hellish development cycle no doubt & its Open-World was not done well but FF15 is still a decent game. Its not the greatest FF game but it still has solid story, characters, gameplay & an amazing soundtrack courtesy of the legendary Yoko Shimomura.
      FF16 has a few questionable creative decisions that were made by its development team like the shocking lack of real RPG mechanics & the glaring absence of a character party but overall FF16 is a fun great quality game. The combat is awesome, the Game of Thrones-inspired plot & characters & writing are magnificent, the world of FF16 is epic & compelling, the voice acting is top-notch, the music by Masayoshi Soken is quite possibly one of the greatest FF soundtracks of all-time and FF16 also introduces cool new features like the Active Time Lore system. Seriously the ATL system should be featured in every FF game moving forward as it's such a helpful feature to give you additional context about characters, events & other in-game lore that you've just experienced as well as helping you keep up to date on the story so far in case you forget about certain details.
      The FF7 Remake Trilogy thus far with the first 2 games has been a true epic masterclass of how to do a video game remake right. So many reasons to praise both FF7 Remake & FF7 Rebirth that I'd be here writing more & more.
      So yeah, Post-FF13 the series has not been as awful as some claim it to be. Tons of over-exageration. There's been way more good than bad. Again only FF13 is where the series really really screwed up big-time.

      I'm mostly familiar with FFIX and I do think Quina is overrated. I know Quina can be super strong if you invest in them but I personally don't consider them to be worth the investment. Eating enemies can be really annoying and iirc the enemy skills aren't that great until nearly the end of the game. So I personally consider Quina to be not as good as a lot of people say they are. Not sure if I'd call them the worst party member in FFIX, but I'm not sure who I would give that label to.

      @@Ausdoerrt The problem with Quistis is you have to know how to build her. It took me years to figure out that she is a magic character (blue mage) and I didnt realize her main stat was Magic, which boosts the damage on her Blue Magic Limits until you get Degenerator. When starting out (going to Fire Cavern) you really want to ignore the compatability of the GFs and focus more on what stats they help. Give Quistis Quezecotl and he will boost up her magic.

      Well somebody said it... Gau's equipment is among the best in the game (Snow scarf + Dueling mask). And some rages are just game breaking (Magic Urn, Rafflesia, Io...) He's the most adaptable character in the game, so, definitely not just not the worst character in the game, but probably the best... The worst would be Umaro by far, and then Cyan.

      I think just hearing him chime in to say hes figured out a new recipe is appealing enough. 15 was for the girls xause honestly playing it i cant find fault in the characters. Its like the strongest element the plot kinda goes eveerywhere theres even kinda a psuedo horror sequence and a coupld of godly asura level fights. But the characters theyre sinplicity allows that personality to shine and thats one thing ya can never say 15 lacks. Strong personality.
      Final fantasy has 3 major ethos. The first is FIGHT, the second is dramatic writing, the 3rd is oneness with the people and nature. Which is why so many final fantasy games drag displaced monarchy through the whole world interacting with everyday people and helping them.

      FF6 only had 1 worse party member UMARO even at lv 99 is PURE CRAP even with no RAGES besides the Default ones Gau by games end can still fire 2x 9999 damage Ultima spells which is why Unmaro in FF6 even at lv 99 is pure CRAP Cyan isn't worth using for Kefka's Tower/Phoenix cave even at lv 99 either but at least He's more useful then Umaro.

      Episode Ignis was so much more fun than Episode Prompto because Ignis is a blade-dancing beast of battle. He doesn't need a partner to retake an entire city, nor does he hesitate to put his life on the line for Noctis. True, there is that one stretch of the game where he is objectively the worst one by miles, but that was deliberate. He also keeps everyone alive with his Regroup tactic or pulls elemental magic from nowhere to turn the tables (and his British snark added to the English dub is exquisite). The game is harder without Prompto's humor and ranged attack, but it is much harder without Ignis and his devoted support.

    Quistis is actually a powerful party member... Her Mighty Guard can cast Gaste, Regen, Shell, Protect, Float AND AURA. She can get White Wind early on which is actually more reliable than Full-Cure and Angelo Recover. Degenerator kills ALMOST EVERYTHING(can be spammed on IC2H/H to level up other party members and GFs and her Shockwave Pulsar can break the damage cap.... There is no bad party member in FF8. You just don't know how to use blue mages.

      Agreed wholeheartedly, but it probably came down to Quistis vs. Irvine for the VIII spot (temporary members are clearly excluded from this list save for IV and arguably VI). Squall is Squall, Selphie's best weapon has perfect accuracy (and the miniscule chance of The End in her free magic Slots), Rinoa is Rinoa with free magic in Angel Wing, and Zell is a Dueling beast. Blue Magic, though potent and varied, is generally single-hit while Irv's Ammo can hit multiple times.
      If temporary characters were included, Seifer and Edea would both rank well below Instructor Trepe in gameplay.

    Edward may be weak at classic FF4 games indeed. But, fortunately, the 3D version (DS and Steam) turned him into an excellent support character. His Bard songs have high effect in battle, specially the last one, that make ATB bars run at an insane speed. And the best part is thats his Bard skills can be used by other characters once he leaves the party.

      Also Edward in the 3ds version is actually one of the most powerful characters at Lvl 99 if I recall right. When you start getting him near the end from what I have read, not something I have personally done, his stats sky rocket and he ends up with stupidly high stat block I think Yang also has this issue. Most likely it was because they never expected anyone to get them that high so they werent balanced would be my guess.

    So yeah your argument on Quistis shows you didnt pay attention. Quistis is the youngest instructor period in all the gardens and is extremely popular but because of that she is under a lot of pressure and given Seifer to control and teach. Quistis was literally set up to fail and probably intentionally when you realize there is a power struggle going on. So story wise her personality and issues make sense when you realize she is a pawn getting used hard with tons of pressure being put on her.
    As for her as a Party member Magic is her biggest skill from what I recall so if you keep her stocked with magic she is fairly powerful. Her blue Magic due to needing materials to unlock is a bit tricky but once you get her going she is actually extremely powerful as she has a wide range of attacks that you can pick from letting you easily tailor to match your foe. And Shockwave pulsar I think it was called is flat out the most powerful attack in the game as it can break the damage cap naturally. And Aura makes the issue of health not an issue when you find draw spots of it.

    2) Enter Rikku's. Grab Steal and Use, then proceed to the end of the first circle (ending in the Luck Sphere, grabbing the +4 Agility just beyond it).
    3) Use a Return Sphere to go back to the Extract Mana sphere in his section.
    4) Activate the spheres below, then backtrack to Wakka's section.
    5) Proceed to the Silence Attack sphere.
    6) Use a Lv.2 Key Sphere to break into the final third of Lulu's section. Proceed as normal to the end.
    This Kimahri doesn't just catch up, he excels. He'll be the second fastest character, be able to steal, be almost the most durable, and he'll outdamage everyone except for Yuna's aeons for the majority of the game.

I honestly think they could have given him some side quests to do like clearing specific areas to save citizens or something. His Brotherhood episode was the same thing. Instead of focusing on Ignis, they made it all about him trying to bake the dessert for Noctis. There was no backstory for him and that sucked because a lot of fans wanted to learn more about him. He's so much better at combat though, where Gladio is slow swinging with his great sword, Ignis has swift concise attacks.

    Quistis gets better once you get Aura and then access probably the most broken version of Mighty Guard out there. Even before that, though, I can argue Selphie is still worse. The main difference between characters in 8 is the Limit Break, and hers is so random. I mean, sure, there's the cover opening trick, but I don't want to rely on that, and waiting for a really good spell while the enemy just wails on you is worse than waiting for Cyan's strongest skills. Heck, for most fights, Irvine is worse too.

    The Black Mage/Wizard would have to be worst character in the first game. Yes, he can cast magics that deal with multiple enemies - but so can the Red Mage/Wizard. His instant death spells don't always work. And finally, his Flare spell is underpowered; it does about 200-300 DMG while the Knight can do about 500+ DMG with Excalibur and the Master Monk can do about 1000+ DMG with his fists. The Black Wizard actually does more damage with the Masamune sword than with the Flare spell. I normally use a Red Mage instead: can cast room clearing spells like the Black Mage, but is also a competent fighter and a decent back-up healer.
    The Thief/Ninja might be an okay fighter and a weak Black Magic user, but his high agility can make him a lifesaver if you are in the middle of a dungeon and your HP and spell points are low, as he will allow you to run from virtually any random encounter. You can also give him the Masamune if you feel his attack power could use a bit of a boost.
