Current Events > Who's the worst party member in Tales of the Abyss? (spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Curious

Anise, unless she has some secret skill or tech I don't know about.

---

Anise and it isn't even close. I'm not even sure what she is supposed to do.

She spams Bloody Howling and that alone makes her one of the best spellcasters in the game

Between this and her exclusive and busted 8% periodic HP/TP restoration accessory, well. :l Yeah, she's busted.

As far as fighting goes, Asch. Excluding him, Natalia. But Natalia is also the best healer if you either manually control her, or micromanage her.

---

I'd say Anise, though I know she has some OP setups.

---

It's Anise and not even close. Everyone is just better.

anise is the slowest in the first game to have free run. the faster you are the easier it is to abuse

Don't need to move if you're spamming bloody howling with c cores to make it give a FoF dark (water+earth) effect.

if manually controlled natalia has insane range with her bow. the AI will run up to an enemy to shoot but you can hit an enemy from all the way across the map with an arrow
honestly its easiest to abuse free run with her IMO
she could be level 1 and fighting the final boss solo and would win without ever taking a hit
it would take forever but it would be easily done

I hated almost everyone in this game, but Anise takes the cake.

Little heaux can go die in a fire for being one of the most awfully written characters in existence.

There's only one enemy that won't work on at level 1, Sync the tempest because on harder difficulties one of his HP based counters is the only attack in the game you can't avoid with free run or by repeatedly jumping until you're off the screen.

Yes!
Never before has a game made me despise the majority of the main characters. Only Jade and Guy were cool. And I do remember despising Anise.

I liked anise I found her funny
If you guys really need a character to hate go play tales of legendia

There is no character in tales history more unlikable than Shirley
Well the father in tales of graces is worse but she is a parry member


---

People must be voting for her personality, cause there's no way she's mechanically the worst due to the previously mentioned Bloody Howling. She can also res with a certain doll.

I think it's Asch. Not sharing the same core as Luke really hurts.

---

Natalia gets my vote. I don't like playing as her and the AI is fucking atrocious with her.

Asch is a temp character. Why would he be an option?

---

You can keep him via map glitch in the PS2 version.

The trade off being he's replacing Luke

And you can't get rid of his shitty equipment

---

and if you try to do a new game plus after beating the game with him the game will crash

---

In combat, probably Anise. Personality wise, I can't stand Natalia.
