Paladins in this game are pretty worthless unless you put the skill on a character who already has a completed Fighter move set, with double hand set as the support skill, whichever of the two fighter or one paladin reactive skill you wanna pick (All three are good, though I'd rank bonecrusher lowest in spite of it's power) and the dash boots will give you a huge area to move around in.Quote:

Which would be useful if the battles were more on a Vandal Hearts scale, and you had more than six people to play with. Considering the tiny ammount of choices you have when it comes to who to take to battle, I doubt the guy that specializes in luring folks away is gonna rank very high... Unless you like drawing these things out, in which case... You tihnk funny.
Anyhoo, the fighter/paladin mix with the dash boots gives great defense when that's needed and a little backdraft when the time comes for that, too. Now, if you wanted to lure them away from the bulk of the battle, then shower them with far fists, magic from a mage by your side playing support... You could wipe these guys out pretty quick like.
All the good ranged (and backdraft, too) attacks of a fighter, with the armour, defense techniques, self healing and great or knightswords of a paladin. That's my main character, and he's pretty fuckin' gangsta if I say so m'self.
Thats pretty much what I'm doing with my main tank now.
Got all the fighter abilities available at the 20 hour mark, now I'm getting him some of the better paladin abilities. After that I'll change him back to a fighter most likely.
Air Render (I belive the name) is such a pimp fighter/monke abilitiy, especially considering how early on you can get it.
I'm thinking about taking him to Ninja camp to get couble sword.
I'm also thinking that I'm lazy.
you're in luck. these races are all going to be in final fantasy 12. there was a press release a while back saying that ffta would act as a preview of the game's races and concepts.Quote:

there are some flaws, though. i've been playing disgaea, and ffta's battles drag in comparison. the poorly designed menus are more irritating, though. it's generally difficult to find specific information on abilities and item properties. there are dozens of menus, but they're rarely where you expect to find them. also, buying new weapons is kind of a suicide.
i'm overlooking the problems because the game is otherwise excellent, but it's surprising to see such obvious mistakes from an experienced rpg developer.
yeah I don't get that either, its not like that haven't done clean interfaces before, or good gba titles
kinda odd.
