My favourite team is:
Zidane + Vivi + Steiner + Dagger
There levels are:
Z: 99
D: 99
V: 82
S: 99
I have beaten everyone except Deathguise, Kuja & Necron (I can’t be bothered to at the moment)
I like using Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, and Steiner. They are my ultimate team.
Zidane’s level is 99. Dagger’s level is 84. Vivi’s level is 95. Steiner’s level is 99. I don’t enjoy using the other characters as I use these 4.
I like summons and magic…
Zidane – whoop-ass Thievery (yes, I have the patience to get it doing quad-9 damage), Ultima Weapon, and he’s 5-10 levels above everyone. Plus it’s not like I have a choice to leave him. I wouldn’t leave him anyway. He just rules.
Dagger – Curaga and Mega Flares. Couldn’t ask for more! She flame-broils everyone with Bahamut. I usually don’t switch her, so she’s usually at least 5 levels above everyone, too.
Rustman – Climhazzard. Shock. Flare Sword. Even though he’s big on MP consumption, his attacks are totally worth it. Plus his HP is higher than Zid’s even if he’s several levels behind.
Vivi – I like using his flare to serve my enemies up medium-rare. How about you?
And I often switch Vivi out for:
Freya – Her Dragon Magic is totally AWESOME! Dragon Crest does quad-9 damage even when she’s mini-ed, plus it only takes 16 MP. Before learning Auto-regen, Reis’ Wind is definitely a butt-saver. Freya, man. She’s da man. Well, kinda. 😀
Zidane the usuall crap like daggers the occasional grandlethal with trance
Dagger she has control over bahamut who I just call the living ion cannon and ark the missles he shoots at first are great
Eiko she gots control over madeen who can woop necrons ass alond with the move holy and her curaga helps alot
Amarant pure strength and that nasty throwing ability helps too
One is: Vivi, Dagger, Eiko & Freya (I beat the game with this team. Forrget the levels though.)
Vivi: I take him EVERYWHERE (except Olivert) ’cause he’s so kick ass!
Dagger: Bahamut & Odin (SWEET!!! ^^)
Eiko: Madeen & Curaga
Freya: All her skills kick ass! ^^
Or: Zidane, Vivi, Dagger & Freya
Vivi, Dagger & Freya: Above
Zidane: Stealing & Grand Lethal! ^^
Anyways, I thought Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, and Amarant made a good team. Zidane…well, you absolutely have to have him, so I really didn’t have any use for him though. Garnet is a great healer and I use her Summons a lot. Vivi’s magic is great, especially during Trance. And Amarant…well, he’s just strong. I use Eiko, Quina, and Steiner often too.
But during the rest of the game I used Vivi instead of Rusty, I never really liked Rusty but had the used him in the end because of is Climhazzerd.
I never used Amarent, I don’t know why I heard he has some great abilities, so now I’m on my secind time around playing the game so I’m makeing sure to use him this time.
The first is:
Dagger She got the most usefull abilities Summoning and white magic.
Zidane Cause his attacks and steal ability and he’s too strong when in trance.
Friya she has the white wind ability that recovers MP and her jump.
Vivi he’s magic is awfully strong.
The seconed team is:
Dagger – Zidane – Steiner – Vivi.
Eiko was the best because of Madeen and Holy
Vivi because of Flare
Steiner because he uses my favourite weapon Ragnarok
Wish I could of switched Steiner with Beatrix.
Vivi: Lvl 99 – Mace of Zeus
Steiner: Lvl – 99 ExcaliberII
Garnet: Lvl – 99 Whale Whisker
I find this the MOST affective team throughout the game, You have 2 people with brute force, Blk Magic and Wht Magic and all this work together perfectly.
Zidane: Lvl – 99, Ultima Weapon.
Vivi: Lvl 99 – Mace of Zeus
Steiner: Lvl – 99 ExcaliberII
Garnet: Lvl – 99 Whale Whisker
I find this the MOST affective team throughout the game, You have 2 people with brute force, Blk Magic and Wht Magic and all this work together perfectly.
Yeah, that’s just about the same as my best team. Replace the Excalibur II with the Apocalypse and change the levels to the 80’s and that’s about it.
And I’ve never got Excalibur II. I’ve found the sidequest quite pointless, as it takes away all the enjoyment of the game, although I suppose it is a good challenge. But Ragnarok is good enough for me anyway. 😉
I don’t use Eiko or Garnet (I never change her name to Dagger either, it’s just something I do… :p). As I said, with everyone having Auto-Regen, I can just concentrate on attacking rather than healing. Vivi does come in useful sometimes and I may occasionally put him in instead of Quina or Amarant, but not too often.
Zidane
Steiner
Dagger
Vivi
None of them above level 60. None of them with best weapons. On my fourth attempt, I beat the shit out of that last boss person. Just goes to show that you don’t need all the best stuff to complete the game as long as you have good tactics to beat his ass and make him eat your sword.
I wish I still had the game though soI could d it again and try and get all the stuff, cause even though I finished it I didn’t think I had completed it properly as I left some stones unturned and all that malarky.
i think my highest level was 70 something. lol, my memory sux, i only completed it last week!
but, i found it really easy, even without high levels. Necron was like a lamb in a kebab shop…slaughtered. i think i died on only one boss…and thats coz i wernt concentrating :eye:
I learnt most of my abilities though and my weapons were quite good so I only trained before a major boss battle cos I’m lazy, lol :B
Well, the first time i finished the game I think none of my charecters got over lvl 60…but the second time All of them were 99…
Zidane + Vivi + Steiner + Dagger
Levels are:
Zidane Lvl 67
Vivi Lvl 65
Steiner Lvl 66
Dagger Lv 63
Kick ass team IMO.
Zidane Lvl.89
ViVi Lvl.75
Garnet Lvl.81
Freya Lvl.73
Zidane, Vivi, Stiener, and Garnet (sometimes switched out with Freya and Armarant).
These teams are excellent for the reasons of balance between the team and combined are very versatile.
Steiner is my favourite character, I hate him near the start of the game though because of his stupid attitude. His attacks though are just… Mind boggling. heh
Zidane, I hate him, he’s the medium stat guy. I just use him to steal and when he dies… Meh! Who am I kidding? Zidane’s awesome. Well his trance atleast saves the day 9/10 times.
Quina is pretty strong sometimes too. I take him along because of his blue magic, like mighty guard and especially his eating ability, Yes Iv’e mastered it and know exactly when to use it.
Angelus
You can’t get rid of Zidane (unless…) so I have to have him. Vivi’s my fav. character and the only black mage so I should use him… Eiko’s the better white mage w/Holy and she’s my second fav. so I use her. And Steiner is the best attacker, esspecially w/Vivi…
Plus all 8 of my characters are Lv.99…
E.g Zidane Vivi Eiko and Dagger
Z+Eiko+Dagger+Vivi.
All magic users except Zidane.
Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, and Eiko
they all had like their best weapons and were like leveled in the 60s or 70s
I like strong magic with a decent physical
not to mention that when you have vivi and zidane tranced you can crush anything
Zidane-For Physical Attacks and Trance.
Garnet-For Summoning and sometimes healing.
Steiner-For Shock.
Eiko-For Healing and sometimes Summoning.
Anyway what was Zidane and Garnet’s promise in FF9? I don’t seem to remember anymore 🙁 uh…can anyone tell me? you know so I can add it to my sig 😀 hehe thanks in advance
Their levels are:
Z:92
A:98
F:99
S:83
