It's got great special defense. Not really useless so much as completely outclassed by Alakazam.Gardevoir, before Pixie.
Everything or mostly everything can one shot her/him

Hahah wow I had no idea about this glitch. Even funnier that he goes berserk as... an impIt's a weird interaction between two bugs that afflict Cyan and make him (counter)attack all enemies continuously, over and over, until all enemies die.
FF1 Thief? Although that's in part because a lot of the mechanics they're meant to exploit don't actually work. They're weak, don't have a lot of offensive options, and are basically carried through the game. Don't know if we should count the upgrade to a (much, much better) Ninja as a different character, though
Came in here to say FF1 Thief.
There is no reason to use him unless you're deliberately challenging yourself.
What are you talking about, Morgana is one of the best party members. Media/Mediarama are lifesavers.
IMO the most useless party member in Persona 5 is Yusuke. I almost never use him whereas I swap between the rest pretty regularly.
Kimahri. He sucks and the butterfly hunt was evil...that is all.
Isn't Roy apparently really crappy in his starring Fire Emblem game?
Edward in IV is the correct answer.
Does Hope count as a joke character?
Malak in Final Fantasy Tactics.
Cloud from FFT I've always heard is more trouble than he's worth.
Hope is THE mage to use in end game parties. Besides, who's your other option, Vanille?
She's bad, but there are so little available thieves before you get Imoen back that I'd say she's the best pick of the lot as your temp thief (BG2:EE has an incredible thief available though)
As such, her existence is validated.
This guy though:
There's nothing at all you can do with him.
Shit stats (worst stats of all companions):
Strength 13
Dexterity 9
Constitution 13
Intelligence 12
Wisdom 18
Charisma 15
Shit class: Shapeshifter
He's a worst mage and fighter than the other much better druid you get 1 minute into the game.
He cannot do anything unless shapeshifted into a werewolf.
Later in the game, enemies have good enough weapons that his werewolf form magical protections won't help him and he goes down really quickly.
If that wasn't bad enough, there were plenty of bugs with him in the original version that made him even worst than how he should have been (which even then would still be the worst of the bunch)
Even in BG2:EE and mods to fix him, he's still the worst companion of them all.
Actually, Snow with an Upgraded Feymarch is IMO better because of his animation speed.
The Bard class in the Famicom version of FF3, as far as I could tell, was terrible. It had the ability to buff your party attacks and lower enemy levels but it barely did anything and there were better ways of applying statuses to enemies. I am pretty sure Edward was made with this version of the Bard character class in mind, too.
Yea he is _serious_ shit and orlandeau might be the most broken character ever. Having them in the same game is a bit of an odd contrast.Malak in Final Fantasy Tactics.
Both Rafa and Malak are terrible in their own classes -the low damage-random hitting special attacks they have are basically useless since they hit 4 random squares out of 9 for low damage. They're also both slow and fragile.
However, Rafa has one saving grace, she has a high Faith score which makes her a pretty decent white magic user.
Malak, however, has no saving grace like this. He's worse then anyone at everything and it's even more laughable that he shares a game with final fantasy's most broken character, Cidofas Orlandu
Ungaga in Dark Cloud
Monster Transform in Dark Cloud 2

Wow, some of you must be bad at CT, even if it is an easy game.Even with all the duds in Fire Emblem and Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy, I'll go with a controversial pick, too - Marle from Chrono Trigger.
Edit: Her design is great even if her spritework isn't, and she's outpaced by everyone else in terms of damage. Couple that with her dedicated role as healer being stepped on by heals from people with actual combat utility like Frog and Ayla, and she's only really useful for Techs and battles of attrition.
Sue from Grandia, effectively. There's no point to invest any magic in her, because
she leaves part of the way through the game anyway.
Considering thieves can't promote in FE6 there's no reason to care about their combat skills. Speed is all that matters so that they can actually do their job and steal things (especially in FE6 where there's little money available outside of stealing), and Cath does that best.
Raine had a pretty permanent slot in my active party during almost the entirety of ToS, I only took her out when it was easy enough that I could afford to and wanted to put the other members in for thematic reasons. Sure she's not a good damage dealer but she wasn't really meant to be, she's the embodiment of white Mage.
If you wanted to use a Tales example, then Leia from Xillia and its sequel is significantly worse than all the other members; I "mained" her for all of X1 and played her a bit in X2 and she was so underwhelming on all fronts
My top 3 choices
FF9 - Amorant
- I really just have no idea how to make this guy do good damage, he always fell short compared to Zidane or even Steiner. He was slow, had low damage, and his abilities never seemed particularly strong and I he didn't seem useful as a support over Dagger or Aiko.
Chaining Baton Passes to Yusuke is too good tho. He also outdamages Ryuji before Charge.
Suikoden 3 Thomas he and the rest of his party at the point you play as them are all garbage except for two of them. Still liked his story part tho
Wow, some of you must be bad at CT, even if it is an easy game.
Marle is arguably the second best character in the game after Crono. Crono, Marle, Ayla is my "ends worlds" team. You never attack with Marle (except with Venus bow on DS). She is utility and haste alone makes her a better option than the rest of the cast. Unless your objective is to win "slow." Magus with a gold stud and dark matter can also solo the game.
She's useless, but Roy is worse. He's a Lord who can't evolve that gets temporarily op with the binding blade and if you happen to use all of its uses (30 I think) he becomes useless again.
Speaking of FE, all the jeigans bar Seth and Titania are usually very, very bad. But well, there's a lot of bad chars in general in those games, too many to count. I remember the duo Micaiah Sothe was a mess, specially in a game with Ike and his troupe and all the op animal chars of that saga...
He was already brought up, but he's so bad he deserves to be mentioned again. Korcha from Chrono Cross.
I can't remember seeing such a perfect combo of terrible combat ability, personality, and outfit anywhere else. His mother can join the party and she's amazing in battle, what happened?
Chrono Cross has all sorts of playable characters, several of them bad and/or questionable, but this bastard is by far the worst one. He really is the "perfect" combination of garbage combat ability, awful personality, and horrible outfit. You have to make a certain decision in the first half of the game, and saying yes to it results in this chucklefuck joining you. Saying no means you can get one of the best party members in the game (Glenn, the rad swordsman), but some may say no to just to avoid being around Korcha any longer. Truly one of the worst characters in any RPG.
Adray from Star Ocean 3 is pretty shit in combat honestly. Which sucks since his design is really cool.
I must've had real shitty RNG because I mostly remember her from having to reload states because she kept croaking on me, while the other thieves could steal just as well and not be such a burden.Considering thieves can't promote in FE6 there's no reason to care about their combat skills. Speed is all that matters so that they can actually do their job and steal things (especially in FE6 where there's little money available outside of stealing), and Cath does that best.
Edward in IV is the correct answer.
And Kimahri of course.
The Candy Corn costume in Costume Quest 2
You are supposed to use this costume to bait counterattacks, but you cant attack directly.
I don't remember if he's useless or not, but I remember be a little pissed when this guy joined my group in Star Ocean:
Kimahri. He sucks and the butterfly hunt was evil...that is all.
Lymle from Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Aside from her awful, awful dialogue, she's the slowest character on the battlefield. Her physical attacks are slow and weak, her attack magic is very quickly outclassed by Myuria, and her healing magic is outclassed by Sarah. Even Edge can use basic healing techs, so she's pretty useless once the party expands.
I forgot how much everyone hates Kimahri. He's good y'all!

Raine from Tales of Symphonia, at least in the NA GC version
Only 3 offensive attacks, Photon, Holy Lance and Ray (you could only have 2, photon and holy lance or ray)
Several unison attacks and offensive attacks cut, no mystic arte (hi ougi) and melee attacks weak unless you killed a lot of enemies with the devil's arms
Powerful as a healer, but offensive lacked a lot
Polka from Eternal Sonata.
She's one of the worst at building echoes, her attack speed is poor, she has terrible defence, HP, attack and speed and she doesn't get any useful attacking skills until near the end of the game. I think the developers wanted her to be a healer since she has the most healing skills, but they are all outclassed by other characters who even get their respective heal skill way before she does.
My top 3 choices
FFT - Agrias
- Great for a first time play through, she has Holy Blade and can deal lots of damage, however she has an incredibly low movement range, super slow, and squires or ninjas can do more DPS more quickly than her.
Are you joking, Bowman and his poison pills, Opera with group healing and Chisato is damage powerhouse too.
This isn't even true
Cath:
Astolfo:
And if you factor Hard Mode bonuses, she's still worse
Cath is made 100% redundant by Astolfo . She's just awful and her recruitment method makes getting her a pain in the ass.
Edward in IV is the correct answer.
