Your RPG party.

[J is Justice]

Choose 5 playable RPG characters to aid you in saving the world. Try to make a balanced party made of your favourites.

I'll go with:

Chie Satonaka



Damage dealer.

Zidane Tribal



Can steal useful items and also deals lots of damage - especially in trance.

Alchemist Rikku



Can use any healing item an infinite number of times.

Ryudo



Another damage dealer. Can also use some magic.

Vivi Ornitier



Black magic user.

And I'd be the character that nobody picks but has potential. Probably a Blue Mage, or something.

[Talent Name]

Damage Dealer Cloud Strife
Thief- Locke
Black Magic User- Vivi
Healer- Terra
More Damage- Auron

[Totorob101]

For me..

Lulu (FFX)
Squall (FF8)
Aerith (FF7)
Zola (Blue Dragon)
Lilika (Rouge Galaxy)

Probably not the most powerful squad with little variety in abilities but i dont care they are my favorite characters and would be my ideal RPG team .

Chie would be such a drain on resources, opening each round with Rampage and rapidly draining her own hp. :/

[beamanhogan]

I haven't played many RPG's in the past few years, so my list is a little dated:

Damage Dealer - Nei (Phantasy Star 2)
Thief- Locke (FFVI)
Magic User- Relm (FFVI)
Magic User- Zhuge Liang (Destiny of an Emperor)
Wild Card - Zhao Yun (Destiny of an Emperor)

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

Thief: Zidane
Healer/summoner: Yuna
Long range character: Barrett
Offensive magic: Vivi
Close range bruiser: Squall

And their personalities would mesh pretty well.

[Dat Dude]

Front Line
Rei


Tifa


Ayla


Backline
Geno


Cleo

[darbus alan]

Tank/backup healer/backup support/ridiculous damage dealer - Yuri Hyuga (Shadow Hearts Covenant)
Ranged Damage Dealer - X (Megaman X: Command Mission)
Healer/Offensive Magic User - Terra (Final Fantasy VI)
Wild Card - Bartz Klauser (Final Fantasy V)
Why? Because f*** you that's why - Freya (Valkyrie Profile)

[DragonMasterP]

My team would be:

Ninten (Mother)
Ness (Earthbound)
Lucas (Mother 3)
Paula (Earthbound)
Kumatora (Mother 3)

PSI all day, baby.

[Push R Truth]

Bowser
Barrett
Zell
Quina
Kirby

We'd sit around, eating and drinking all day and nobody would F with us because we'd eat them if they did.

Kirby's an RPG character?

My list-- yes they are all Square-Enix characters, sue me:


[BACK ROW]
Offensive Magic User: Lucca (Chrono Trigger) - Serves dual role as the powerful black mage and the genius/brains of the party who can fix or create anything.

Defensive/Support Magic User: Jessica Albert (Dragon Quest 8) - Kazing (instant resurrection spell + full life) is all you need to have if things start going wrong, but Jessica also brings *ahem* 'assets' to the table with her 'Sexy' skill tree that gives access to MP-free party heals and status affects on enemies.


...and blatant fanservice, more importantly:


(warning mute the kid who does commentary on this video for the love of god)

{FRONT ROW]
Figher: Fei Fong Wong (Xenogears) - As far as damage dealers go, I'll take the guy who's split personality can destroy mechas with his bare-handed attacks!

Heavy Armor/Paladin: Cyan Gyamonde (Final Fantasy 6) - Step 1: Equip Cyan with 'True Knight' and 'Black Belt' Relics. Step 2: whittle your other party members' HP down to their near death state, but don't heal them. Step 3: use your Limit Breaks (YES they had Limit Breaks in Final Fantasy 6 bee-tee-dubs) with the near-deathers while Cyan covers and counters every physical attack in the game-- and as an added bonus you can spice up your counter by charging SwdTech to level 7!!

tl;dr version - Cyan is the most overpowered Paladin ever created in Final Fantasy (sorry Cecil) as his Katanas will usually deflect most attacks made against him, and with relics/SwdTech he'll get a free hit in against the attackers also (turning tables on those pesky foes that hit 3+ times in one round).

Party Leader: King Mickey (Kingdom Hearts 2) - Words can't describe the joy I had when I first controlled Mickey and understood how it must feel like for Yoda to be Yoda just for a split second. That's how overpowered they made Mickey in KH2, more importantly he's a great party leader/main character on any team.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Cid Orlandu (FF Tactics)
Commander Sheppard (Mass Effect)
The Courier (Fallout: New Vegas)
The Dragonborn (Skyrim)
The Vault Hunter (Borderlands 2)

why? because by the end of their respective games 4 of them are absurdly powerful world-beaters and the first one comes pre-broken.

[MrBRulzOK]

I'll give this a shot.

Georg Prime (Suikoden) - The main damage dealer and swordsman of the group.

Magus (Chrono Trigger) - The offensive magic user of the group who can also deal damage if needbe.

Wynne (Dragon Age: Origins) - The healer and token female of the group, even if she isn't exactly young.

Fawkes (Fallout 3) - The wall of meat who soaks up damage and threatens our enemies.

Mog (Final Fantasy 6)- Because a dancing Moogle that can create various elemental effects sounds fun.
