TravelLog posted:In short, Quina is good even if Blue Magic isn't as insanely powerful as it was in a game like 5 or Gau's rages were in 6. It always drives me nuts whenever I see people describe Gau as a Blue Mage. Strago was the Blue Mage in 6; Gau was more of a Beastmaster/Berserker hybrid.

Thanks to this thread I started playing FFIX again a couple weeks ago. My 3-year-old daughter was watching me play and I tried to explain to her what was going on, and it seems she took in more than I thought. Yesterday, out of the blue my daughter declared that I was "a plant", and that I needed to sit on the floor. I obliged, then she picked up a red ball, stood a few feet away, and shuffled her feet in place and waved her arms a bit. Then she hopped over to me and bopped me on the head with the ball before returning to her original position and resumed idling in place. "I'm the black mage!" she said. Then she grabbed her Elmo doll and put him on my head. "She's the princess." Oh, I get it.  "What's the ball?" "It's fire." She grabbed a blue ball, declared that it was ice, and bonked me with that one too. Her little brother was "the monkey person". And so I was a plant for half an hour while my daughter nuked the poo poo out of me with various spells. The End.

A little tidbit I left out was that I changed things up after a while and started bopping her back when she got too close, so she resorted to hitting my limbs to disable them first before going in for the kill. Kid's figured out location damage at age 3. So proud.

You should fill two buckets with water balloons, red filled with warm water and blue with cold, then take the game outside. Nothing makes a tiny person shriek with joy more than watching daddums flinch as he gets beaned with a cold water balloon. :3

If I had enough people I'd love to do an lp of New Super Mario Bros WiiU, with my daughter holding the tablet. In that game you tap the tablet and blocks show up on screen. My wife and I played with her a few times in World 8, and thanks to all the surprise blocks screwing with our jumps it was like playing Kaizo Mario, with our untimely deaths accompanied by the sound of a kid happily bragging that she made a purple block.

Gau's class is Motherfucker. FF has never had before or had since a character so singularly dedicated towards exposing how many holes are in the game's combat system.

If you must be technical, he's a lot more a Blue Mage/Beastmaster hybrid than a Berserker one. In the game itself, both in the story and in mechanical terms, he's never referred to as a Blue Mage, because he isn't one. Also, Gau's skill set is called "Rage" and when you choose to use one, you lose control over him until the battle ends; how does that not strike you as being more "Berserker" than "Blue Mage"?

Obligatum VII posted:Vivi is a legitimately good role model, too. I think pretty much everyone in FFIX that joins your party is, in their own way. Okay, Quina and the last party member are fringe cases that are questionable, but even them I'd sooner want my child to try to emulate over pretty much anyone in 7 or 8. This is pretty much the only Square RPG in the PSX era where your heroes actually feel like heroes, though I don't know if we can count Legend of Mana toward that. EDIT: vvv Yeah, definitely, but as someone who had to deal with the teething phase, the last thing I want to teach a kid is "try to stick as many things in your mouth as possible".

To be honest, Quina's whole quest, while completely at odds with the plot, is about expanding your horizons and seeing more of the world than your narrow-minded perception of it. It's like TWEWY, only with a large, comic relief blob monster (wo)man.

I think it's a fair comparison. Gau does bear some similarity to Blue Mages in that he learns monster abilities, from monsters. He just executes them more like a berserker, instead of choosing individual spells to cast.

Okay, Quina and the last party member are fringe cases that are questionable, but even them I'd sooner want my child to try to emulate over pretty much anyone in 7 or 8. Legend of Mana is "the protagonist does random tasks to help people because they're nice, sometimes it saves the world, sometimes you're selling lamps to dogmen or helping a rabbit scam a teapot." So heroic in the classic jRPG sense of "will do whatever inane poo poo asked of them" and occasionally actually good. As for Gau, he's three different jobs rolled into one. FF6 is kinda weird with its job system in that there's already a dedicated blue mage, beastmaster, and berserker (Strago, Relm, Umaro) and then there's Gau who's some bizarre amalgamation of a bunch of jobs and ends up breaking the game in half because that's what happens when you give somebody all the jobs.

Nobody ever intended for Gau to be in the game, he's actually a bizarre manifestation of the game's terrible buggy coding.
