good point i didnt know that
The first guy I chose when I bought SaGa Frontier 1 was Lute, simply because I liked his laid back attitude and, after listening to the OST, his final boss music the most.
15 minutes in, I’m fighting the final boss. wtf.
Strangly enough, I enjoyed his scenario the most. Well, tied with Red since being a superhero is cool.
I couldn’t play Blue’s scenario. I hate bishounen.
Blue’s a Bishounen?
Bishonen are not that bad. I never understood the need or desire to hate them.
Lute is pretty powerful on his scenario. However, on the others, he is so weak. It takes him forever to learn techs/
On Riki’s I tought him magic and he wasn’t that bad
Personally I prefer train Lute as a Gun using mage that way it does not matter if he goes last.
I always train Lute as my Second or Third Swordsman. He, Gen, and occasionally the main character I train with swords, put Meiling in as possible to be completely magic-dependant, and either a monster or EngineerCar, depending on my mood.
I usually use 3 sword people usually main Emelia, Gen and sometimes Lute . A fighter usually Liza or Emelia and a magic user Usually Rouge. I always use Emelia.
The only time it was differant was in T260’s quest in which I used Leonard and the mech from the weapon shop in Koorong backstreets and Emelia as a fighter and Gen as a swordsman, and in Riki’s in which I had to change on of the sword fighters to Riki.
Meiling did well with martial arts for me
I have specific parties that I like to use for Each scenario, and I’m not sure how I picked them… 
On average, I have 3 Sword users, a Fists user, and one Magic user. And, because I think Emilia is simply the best character in the game, I use her in every scenario The only exception to these are in T260’s scenario, where I make a 5 Mec party. That scenario is such a breeze with 5 Mecs. I think my record time for beatin the scenario is just under 3 hours
Do you think you could beat Riki’s quest if you kept him in his original form.
Well honestly if the other members were powerful enough than it’s possible. Just have him in the back row defending a lot maybe.
And the thief ring would probably be a big help
Yeah the thief ring would help. Riki would still be damage, but no direct attacks would be used against him. Ie like being hit by reverse gravity, but no one would target you with say “swallow swing”.
for the Final Boss you might also want to use the Kylin trick
The one that cancels “Revolution 9” well I kind of like to use Dark Sphere to do that. Same effect and it can combo for damage!
Dark Sphere does that, cool.
Edit:I don’t think you could beat Riki’s quest in his original form I don’t think there are any level 5 combos that use tail or tail hit ain’t Virgil a bitch
Actually you only need to get ten points against Virgil. As long as you can do level 3-4 combos you’ll be fine. Easy way is level 4 bound shot, level 4 dark sphere, level cross shot and level hide behind. That should get one ten points.
You sure, I got two differant level 3/4 comboes and he bitched about it being the same thing
