I concur with whoever said Quina. Totally useless and fucking annoying too. Quina is the Jar Jar Binks of Final Fantasy. I don't really "get" some of the other characters in FF IX, either. Like that guy Adamant? And the little girl with the horn on her head? FF IX would have been better with just the first five characters.

That's bullshit. I've noticed there's some kind of balancing mechanism in Final Fantasy VII. Your characters can't be that much apart. Even if you level up only three characters, your other characters will receive exp also, although a little slower. Besides, Aeris totally owns in Battle Arena, if you're patient enough to get her final limit break. It helps you get Omnislash in Disc One :P

I thought Omnislash was only available as a prize after Disc One?

If I remember right, it was W-Summon Materia that was unavailable until Disc Two. I remember clearly that I used to fight in the Battle Arena as Aeris a lot, and I think I did it to get Omnislash for Cloud. Why else would I go to the Battle Arena that early? I could be mistaken, though, it's been a long time since I last played Final Fantasy VII.

This blue furry piece of poop right here is the most useless Final Fantasy character I've encountered. I never used him once throughout the entire game, since he wasn't especially good at anything and was generally pretty useless.

Then guess what? You have to do a boss battle using JUST HIM. That fight took me so long it was ridiculous, still didn't use him after that though.

Well useless for what he was, having to re fight him and he was always pathetic. Then again, he was like Gilgamesh, so I guess he is pretty good. They were both pure comic relief.

Instead, look at Baron. Now THAT was a useless character.

I think Lulu was far worse than Kimarhi. Why did she have to be so effing slow? Sure, those black magic spells are powerful, but what use are they when the enemy gets five turns before she gets one? She always ended up way behind the other characters on the sphere grid, because she had so little utility. That happened with me and all of my friends. I once tried purposefully to keep her in the party so that she wouldn't be neglected, but it didn't work out. Still very useless. In all the epic boss battles, it was always Auron, Tidus, Yuna. Auron, Tidus, Yuna. Or maybe sometimes Wakka or Kimahri instead of Tidus. Rikku for fights against machina, obviously. But Lulu was useful hardly anywhere.

FF6- I never really liked Gau or Umaro. The only reason to even GO into the Yeti Cave is the Terrato/Midgardsormr Esper. Both are just auto-attackers that pretty much screw you if they're the only ones left alive in a battle. Plus, WHY is Gau even in the story? He doesn't offer anything else except a stupid cut-scene and a guide through the Veldt.

FF7- Hmmm... I'm going to have to go with Barrett. I only use him in the first disc until I can put a team of Cloud/Aeris/Tifa together. Barrett makes a nice barrier if you equip him with Cover materia and a load of HP Plus, otherwise he's not exactly a good choice.

FF8- Hmmm... I'd have to go with Selphie. Slot is just too random to be effective, and I just HATE her whiny little self. "Oh, let's go to Trabia so little miss whiny will shut up!"

FF9- Quina. She can eat enemies to learn Blue Magic, but the Blue never really stays up to par with the enemies you can encounter. And her Trance attack is Cook- just a better chance to learn Blue Magic, with no damage. Useless.

FF10- Wakka. Good grief, he sucks. "Oh, I can throw my blitzball at things and make an unreliable overdrive for a POSSIBLE element attack?" Lulu is slow, but that's why you throw Hastega on everyone and proceed to kick faces.

FF12- Penelo. I like her character, but by the time you get to the point that you can use her in battle, she's already so far behind the other party members that you already have an established team.

You didn't get his final overdrive, did you? It was a multi-hit one and could do some serious damage. Also, good luck hitting any flying monsters without Wakka... they were way too common in that game.

FF6 had alot of fucking useless characters. Setzer, Relm, Strago, and that fucking Sasquatch thing. Kimharhi is useless, except for getting Ronso Rage moves. Rikku is also useless, except that her Overdrive is overpowered.As for FF7, Cait Sith. Seriously. Square is notorius for this.

It wasn't bad, it was just difficult trying to get any decent spells from it. And god help you trying to get The End from there.

I don't care if the spell kills all enemies and even bosses on the screen, passing through a list of spells for thirty minutes isn't worth it.

Cait Sith was absolutely not a useless character for me. I remember one time I was matched up against Ruby weapon, who I still cannot beat to this very day, except for this one time out of pure luck. I went into the battle with Cait Sith on Limit Break and Cait Sith landed the slots that can kill whatever you're up against. I fucking ROCKED Ruby weapon with it. But I can't even beat Ruby with KoTR.

My most useless character of all time was definitely Selphie. I never used her. She was utterly pointless in my opinion. Limits sucks, attacks sucked, and personality sucked. Second place would be Aeris because she died.
