Sazh should be the main character for this game

[WickedRequiem]

Absolutely love that guy and his personality / actions.

[neroleewtf]

Sazh is much useful as a Synergist due to his Haste skill, while finishing Crystarium level 10 gives him 27,000 HP(only less than Snow who has 30,000 HP and above Fang's 24,000 HP) but only has 1,000 Strength and 1,000 magic (while Lightning has both 1,700 Strength and magic, Fang has 2,005 Strength and 1,300 magic and Hope has 1,100 Strength and 1,900 magic)
But the fully upgraded weapons for Sazh have the highest Strength and Magic among all people, while might be the most troublesome to upgrade. So deal with his weapon carefully, and if he got a fully upgraded weapon, he will be really quite useful as a Ravager or Synergist.

The game is designed in a way that all characters can do well in battles, even the toughest optional bosses. In terms of stats, Sazh may not be the best, but he really doesn't need to be.

[Purplefairy22]

But his Abilities are nothing special either tho.

Hope and Vanille are better than him at everything overall, Add lightning as the leader and you're Unstopable.

Here's a list of Why you'd always choose someone else over Sazh

1. Sentinel - Doesn't learn Reprive (Retain 1 hp after attacks that should KO)
2. Commando - Doesn't learn Launch / Smite / Deathblow
3. Ravager - Doesn't learn Ice / Water Magicks
4. Sabotuer - Hope has all the 'Ga' Variants
5. Synergist - Between Hope and Light you have all his abilities covered
6. Medic - Doesn't learn Raise

Lightning is average in the post game.Fang is way better as a commando,and Vanille and Hope do everything else better. I agree that Sazh is pretty bad but I like him for Shaolong Gui because you can kill them with just 1 round of his buffs with his "Augment buff" ultimate weapon.


Also, try Sazh with his paper tiger and blitz spam at enemies in close range, he destroys there but it's too situational.

[Met]

None of the characters are any good really but sazh is the one I hate the least.

[Purplefairy22]

Lighning can learn the synthesized Ability Boost (ATB + 30%) Which Fang can't. so over a course of a battle Lightning Breaks Chain Gauges Quicker and will attack more over a course of a battle and ultimately deal more damage

[Maechen]

The problem is with max stats most battles last 2mins to 3 tops. Fang is far superior in these occasions. Fang is the only one who can break damage limit on shaolong gui. It's been tested and proved ages ago. Lightning only has about 1800 str with lionheart fully upgraded while fang has around 2.5k with hers.

Fang has always been known to be the best commando, which in the end is the only class that matters post game for damage. Doesnt really matter though since the difference is negligible but enough to make a difference when on a turtle farming mission.

[Yuna]

Yeah, that guy is awesome. Most relatable as well, if you ask me.

[Lucis Caelum]

I totally agree, Sazh is an awesome guy. He also has amazing voice acting (English) which perfectly fits his character.

[jweller12]

i like him hes a comedian lol

[SoftcoreSally]

I found it funny that the black guy gets the car gestalt

[Zefar]

Lightning because she punches Snow. Then it's Snow for bringing fists into gun/mech/sword battles and still win. Still Snow is a bit annoying. Vanille so far takes the price of being annoying though.

I can understand Hope having a mental breakdown so he can complain as much as he wants. He got reasons.

Sazh is ok.

[shoki]

Why can't the mini chocobo of sazh be the main character!?
That would be super awesome.

Lightning = Amazing
Vanille = Cute
Snow = strangly like-able
Fang = Hard-core ( strong lesbo vibe)
Hope = Awesome party member
Sazh = Comedy
so no, these characters work for me.

Lightning is a terrible character

[Tangsta]

Yeah it really confuses me how many people like Lightning. Were they actually paying attention to her dialogue or mannerisms, or were they too busy checking out her short skirt to care? She's the most negative character I've ever played in a FF game. Even Hope changes and improves, Lightning stays anal no matter what.
