I love FFX, I played it religiously (no pun intended) growing up. Many of the characters you get to fight with are crappy, or mediocre at best. I am going to list these characters in order from worst to best, finally arriving at the 3 characters I use most in my Party. Now I know that all stats are based on the Sphere Grid, so I am just going by the stats using the path that we usually are forced to go on until we get Key Spheres.
7. Kimahri - Sorry fellow furries, but in lines of practicality in battle, Kihmari sucks. His main skill is Lancet, which steals a small, small amount of health and MP from your opponent, and in all reality is a waste of a turn. Using this ability he is able to learn moves for his overdrive, but all the moves he learns are weak, or useless. His attack is not much higher then Tidus', and his HP does not make up for it. Overall, he is not all that good in the line of battle.
6. Rikku - With low attack, defense, HP, MP, skills, etc, why is she above Kimahri in terms of usefulness? Two reasons: Steal, and Use. These two things allows her to attack with a high base power, or boost stats very quickly. But her saving grace comes from her Overdrive, Mix. I loved mixing various combinations of items to see what I get, you get tons of choices based on your decision. You can come up with a high powered elemental/physical attack, or an extremely good healing potion, etc. But you are limited to the items you have in your inventory, and some are rare, and cannot be re-obtained.
5. Wakka - Wakka's only saving grace is that he can blind his opponent. Or silence them, etc. Also, he is great when attacking monsters from very far distances away, flyers, etc. But his attack is low, and his main role is to give your opponent a status effects. And even then, his MP is not very high, so using his skills is limited. His Overdrive consists of a weak attack in whatever elemental power you are lucky enough to land on at the time, and is basically useless in any boss battle.
4. Tidus - His attack, health, and MP is pretty mediocre, and in terms of overdrive... it's passable. During a boss battle he is by no means a last resort, He makes the best backup characters for when you need a stronger character in your lineup.
3. Lulu- Her main attack sucks, but she has the best niche magical abilities in the game. Got a fire monster? Attack it with ice! No, not water, ice. Her MP is very generous, although her HP could have been better. She is one of the easiest characters to have killed off by a single attack in battle. Her overdrive is great, it allows you to cast multiple versions of the same spell, at the same time. Of which, you can power up using the joystick. A great attack when fighting elemental monsters.
2. Auron - Unrivaled attack power, and a brilliantly high amount of HP, Auron is a must for any party. His skills allows him to lower enemy stats while also hurting them in the process. And his overdrive is way overpowered. It allows him to attack all the enemies at the same time, dealing large amounts of damage.
1. Yuna - How in the world is Yuna a better pick then Auron? Well, in short, aeons. By herself, Yuna is great at healing, and has a pretty decent MP, but her attack and HP is terrible. She, by herself, cannot hold up a battle on her own. But with her wide array of aeons, she is extremely overpowered. She can hold a battle by herself for hours, allowing her numerous spirit monsters to fight her battle for her. Some of these, like the Magus Sisters, are highly overpowered.
In short, Lulu, Auron, and Yuna are my favorite characters to use in battle due to their usefulness and their abilities. Other people's teams may fluctuate, but this is simply the one's I picked based on how good they are in battle.
What is your best FFX party, and why?
