| SanAndreasX said: Chu-Chu in Xenogears. Superficial to most of the story and weak in battle. Rapha (Rafa) and Malach (Malak) in FF Tactics. In one of the missions where you have to keep her alive, during the battle with Elmdore and his demon lackeys on the castle roof, I actually had Rafa get killed by the enemy before my first character could even make a move because she actually moved towards these super tough enemies. I had to start another character closer to her to encourage her to move away from the enemies instead of toward them. In battle both of them are useless. Butch in Fallout 3. Relm and Setzer (FF6). Setzer had the same issues in battle as Cait Sith with his slots, and he didn't have much role in the story once you got the airship. For Relm, Sketch and Control tended to be useful only in getting blue magic abilities for Strago and were otherwise useless. I also had one of the first printings of FF6 on SNES where Sketch crashed the game (though it would sometimes give you 99 of some powerful items you otherwise couldn't get until much later.) |
I actually gave up on my save file for years, because every single time I played that battle Rafa would get killed before I could do anything. This was extremely frustrating to me due to the sheer length of time it took to retry a battle when every loss forces a complete exit out to the title screen and then having to reboot your save file. Eventually, I removed all equipment from my party members to speed them up in the move list so that I could actually finish the battle. So, yeah, I whole-heartedly agree with you.
