Rosa is definitely god tier. She can do great physical damage and she has way more survivability than Edge or Rydia which is good because she is the one reviving. In some boss fights it’s easier to let Edge and Rydia drop while Cecil, Rosa and Kain take on the boss

Edward is nice in the versions of the game where he has 8 songs to cast. Cid is OK in versions of the game where his Peep/Inspect ability works on every enemy AND where the game keeps track of enemy health after they've been scanned once. Also I noticed when grinding for levels that Cid has better health than Cecil, and roughly the same defense since he can equip good armor during that brief period you have him. But yeah, like most people I was glad when he finally left the party.

I tend to rank parties instead of individual characters. The game constantly forces you to change you party and thus your tactics. Some parties are designed to be more of a challenge than others. Going up to Mt Ordeals with dark knight Cecil, and the magnet cave before you defeat the dark elf are my two least favorite. I usually just run from battles until I get through these sections and check the chests later once I don't have a handicap. For me characters are more about what role they serve in my party. Bad party members often just don't stand out as another party member does the job better. Porom suffers from having Tellah in the party most of the time and she doesn't have as much utility as Tellah (and later paladin Cecil) can heal too. Cid doesn't stand out because he's a physical attacker but Yang and Cecil are better. Then you get Kain making Cid the weakest in a party of 4 physical attackers. Edward I don't mind as I use him to status an enemy that is not currently being attacked to keep it incapacitated. The sages (Tellah and FuSoYa) I find that Osmose is a necessity for them to keep their MP high and their utility with both black and white magic is incredibly useful.

It’s so unfortunate you can’t use all the party members in the DS version, that’s when they’re all at their best….i remember even Edgar being somewhat useful. Plus everyone is much more tanky, so Edgar’s bard songs were actually useful. Magic Rods work better in the DS version, even the very first Magic Rod, the “Rod” did very respectable damage when casting its spell (Mage Masher I think was the name of its spell), and the Stardust Rod is a straight up free nuke with the only drawback being it takes longer to charge than spells that consume MP. Then there’s Rosa, I don’t have to discuss the usefulness in having unlimited arrows lol….Cid also did good damage in the DS version, and could take hits okay, though he was probably the most boring character lol The DS version is a bit harder at first, and maybe has somewhat harder boss fights, but has a much more consistent difficulty spike as you play the game, where as new areas will just kick the shit out of you in the older versions…..I’ve never played a version that allows you to switch party members in and out, but omg I can’t imagine using anyone but the end 5…..MAYBE Cid or Yang could replace Edge if you really wanted to do that, but I don’t see the benefit

personally, i put Decil above Pecil. reason being.... why the FCK should i care about his white magic? sure it's situationally good but so are items. his cover mechanic is cool and all but rather situational as well. his hp and defenses are bonkers though so good on him for those. but Decil's darkness ability is just insanely useful for screen clearing in the versions that it's an AoE and in the DS where it's a huge buff it's technically even better. the only thing stunting him is equipment and weakness to undeads. but he has a sword that can insta-kill and against undeads throwing potions is a thing. dunno just kinda wish we could have had a NG+ where we could keep Decil. or could interchange between the forms at will like his dissidia stuff.

I used Pecil's white magic in between fights. I used Decil's Dark Wave a grand total of... three times, if I'm remembering correctly? Actually no, nevermind, _I_ didn't use it, the game used it in the intro and I ignored it from there on out. It'd be handy when Pecil grabs the idiot ball and goes full 'stay in the kitchen' mode too, if it mattered, but the girls (wisely) ignore him.

@@CoralCopperHead granted Darkness isnt needed at all for the portion of the game you have access to it, but it's incredibly useful for that section of the game when your AoE ability is basically sod and all without Tellah/Palom/overleveled C-Rydia. if it could be kept it would be great for conserving MP (granted ethers arent particularly hard to come by in this game, neither are tents/cottages so MP isnt a huge concern) and be great against physically resistant enemies (like puddings) as for healing between fights..... honestly it's more efficient to use healing items most of the time. exception being his esuna i suppose (and raise on the 3D versions) but i can see the appeal if you're running low on them.

Edward should be also on the god tier as well because of how his stats Skyrocket at random after level 70. By the time you get to the lunar ruins and versions that allow you to change party members everybody should be around that level anyways. Even though his stats go up randomly if everybody is at level 99 Edward will have better stats than most of the cast. Also the way damage multipliers work in Final Fantasy 4 if an enemy is week to more than one thing they're it's going to increase how much damage is given. The Apollo's harp which is his third best weapon that you get for doing his trial in Mount ordeals deals extra damage to both dragons and things that are weak to Fire. Now think about how many dragons there are on the moon and in the lunar subterrain. In the Game Boy Advance version there is what is known as the psycho Edward glitch if you cast berserk on Edward and he goes into low hit points he will hide but instead of regular hiding when he comes back out on his next turn he will attack an enemy then go back and hiding immediately. He will only come out in hiding if he is the last party member left so due to the psycho Edward glitch you have one character who was literally impervious. Edward is simultaneously the worst character in the franchise and the most broken.

I definitely agree with Cid being shit tier. He has no good abilities, his hammers deal less damage than any other physical attacker. In the games where you can swap him in at the end, I just wouldn’t, he’s bad, unless you want a challenge. Challenge run for the final boss could be Porom, Cid, Edward (if you don’t get his super busted gear in his trial dungeon otherwise he’ll become a God of DPS as he’ll get two turns to every other characters one and he becomes untargetable with hide), Palom, and Cecil (because he can’t be switched out). Cecil will be doing a lot of the heavy lifting DPS wise with this party.

I only played the SNES version and when you got to Rydia I thought 'eh? I thought Edge was the one that was always dying'. But then you said the ds version+ buffed his tankiness by a lot, and you STILL criticized his survivability. So eh, I guess I agree. I played my snes ff4 to death, got the artemis bow and the dragon whip for Rydia (well the bow is for rosa but I'm just saying I got the rare weapons). Given that like 1/3 of the trash in the final dungeon are dragons of some kind, Rydia actually makes a pretty decent physical attacker as well with the dragonwhip. Though when she finally learns flare it's hard to compete since it's a fast cast that consistently does cap or near cap damage.

He starts out underleveled (he was 15 levels lower than everyone else when I got him with Rydia doing more damage,more HP and better defence),he only has a few long range weapons and you have to buy them before he joins and you are cut off on returning there for awhile and anything he can do everyone else can do better. He starts behind and he stays left behind due to him having 0hp at the end of most battles.
