Balthier: Time Battlemage/Foebreaker = Breaker, Buffer/Debuff. (Crossbow ranged damage, or close range with hammer or axe)
Fran: Red Battlemage/Archer = Support, Range damage, Access to Ardor (Oil + Burning bow + Fiery Arrows + Ardor = Massive fire damage.. strongest hitting damage in the game)
Penelo: Monk/Blackmage = lots of HP, swiftness, access to Holy magick, access to Staff of the Magi: +50% Holy Damage (Blackmage with Holy? Holyshit!)

there is no right or wrong, I choose this strictly for making trial mode alittle bit easier.
