The #1 has to be Cidolfus Orlandeau aka Thunder God Cid from Final Fantasy Tactics. He was so powerful it felt like lowering the difficulty setting without even touching it.

My #2 is Fie Claussell of Trails of Cold Steel. Fie is God tier level broken. If you raised her evasion stat she was borderline untouchable and with a set up to counter and increase counter damage in the third game and beyond almost anytime a boss would attack her they'd miss then she'd counter and devastate their health with up to 6x damage. Ranged counter attack from enemy ranged attacks across the screen.


My #3 is Squall Lionheart from Final Fantasy VIII once he gets the limit break Lionheart. Put him in critical health and he just trivializes bosses in the game.


My #4 is Velvet in Tales of Berseria. Devour.


My #5 is Rita Mordio from Tales of Vesperia. Overlimit "Blah blah blah tidal wave". Stun lock enemies with a full screen attack until death.

Beryl from Tales of Hearts R was insane. Probably the funnest mage ever to play solo in a jrpg

Came to post Orlandeau but I’ll pivot to



He can’t do team techs but he basically has every characters high level magic plus his own

Crono was pretty busted too. Man was one healing skill away from doing everything in that game.

Orlandu is so fukking broken. He really is like putting the game on story mode once you get him. He can beat all the end game boss battles by himself, damn near without getting touched. shyt is ridiculous.

as powerful as tg cid is, it kinda feels like not for much since you beat the hardest bosses in the game without him. afler wiegraf the game is on a difficulty downturn

I might have to break out the PSTV and play this game. I still have a physical copy and I never finished it.

Vanille from FFXIII once she learned death. The team of Lightning, Fang, and Vanille was just absurd after that.
