Look who hasn't posted in a few day =^_^= Sorry guys, Life with Zelda's been kind of rough... and no that's not some new fanfic I'm working on. I've put a hold on all my fics except Life with Sephy until summer. That gives me time to deal with my theater stuff without having to rush the stories.
But on to what this blog is really about. Today my sis and I got into an entrusting conversation and I wanted to know what you guys thought.
Which is a better party system in RPGs... Three or Four?
My sis and I think Four Party Systems are better. This gives you a nice even number where you can have two fighters or a fighter and a thief, a black mage and a white mage. The two fighters are obvious. You need the heavy guns to do damage, this can also be done with just the one fighter and a thief while also giving you a way to get extras such as items or magics or whatever. The black mage is a good third member because you can do damage to enemies with a high defense for physical attacks. You could get the same effect if you trained your thief in magic, but I've never been partial to doing that. And last, but not least, your white mage... I don't think I need to explain why that's a good idea.
Than again there is the Final Fantasy VIII way of doing things where your magic is used for stats. It may not be everyone's favorite Final Fantasy, but it did make things easy for a three party system. It allowed you to only need two fighter and a white mage, or in Selphie's case, Fighter, White Mage and Completely Useless!
So what do you think? Three Party or Four Party?
