I saw Sailor Pluto, Yuna, and Alakazam in the same thumbnail and I had to click it. Also my god I forgot how obscene Sailor Pluto was in Another Story. Did you know that in the series proper if she uses the power to stop time it kills her? That certainly wasn't part of game balance lol.
I remember that game being totally unbalanced in general. Characters having either pathetic defense and godly offense or vice versa with not much in between.
When it comes to Yuna, after she learns the same spells as Lulu, the latter is very much relegated to never used, this is because Yuna's magic capacity is far superior to Lulu's in every way possible, and considering the fact that she has summons, there is zero chance of Lulu ever competing.
They all end up being relatively the same (outside of overdrives and unique actions like summoning, swimming, and built in range attacks) at the end with Yuna being the only character worth a damn outside of Rikku, Tidus, and Wakka.
About Alakazam The reason why he us so strong is because Psychic type is incredibly overpowered in gen 1 It's pm have no weaknesses (Ghost type is bugged due to oversight,and it have no effect instead of being super effective and Bug type have no good moves, except maybe Pin Misale on Jolteon,which still sucks) This was somewhat balanced in Gen 2 by adding Steel which resist Psychic and Dark with complete immunity to it Also the Special stat being both special attack and special defence being one stat isn't an oversight (they dis split them in Gen 2 tho) Also crits it's that useful,since in Gen one crits ingore both yours and your enemy stat buffs Also i advise you to watch some gen 1 speedrunes vids You can learn a lot aboit the game this way and it's pretty interesting
I really like how everyone says how Rita is broken And Estelle is just there I mean,she also has Spell End, plus a full screen nuke in Holy Rain,an arte Force Feild,which gives i-frames (was really broken in og release,fixed in PS3 and ownwards) And unlike Rita,she is bulky,so she can take some hits
@@PuppyPawsGamingYT im only finding results for an update for the fan translation in 2020 , nothing about any changes to the game's graphics anywhere?...
When I saw the title, I directly thought of Rita. It was pretty amazing finding out she could do so much damage with the right equipment. I love Xrnoblade, but never knew Melia was so powerful :0
I think Aht from Radiant Historia had some insane things and insane damage output if you play her right with the other team members. I think without her I wouldn't be able to do something funny like one shotting the final boss's last phase in 1 turn
Two honorable mentions from the tactical rpg side, Calculators from Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea Mages. Calcs take awhile to unlock, but can insta kill entire maps when setup. Disgaea mages can be reborn to the point where they're lvl 1 with every high level spell unlocked and an absurd magic stat. Getting a mage going early in Disgaea makes the game ezpz.
6:45 It isn't the Magus Sisters who have the highest damage attack, it is Mindy (one of the sisters). The Delta Attack only hits 6 times, whereas Mindy's Passado hits 15 times. That is more hits than any other attack in the game.
I took an interest in Mages in the 16 bit era. Phantasy Star 4: End of the Millenium Rune from the moment he shows up, he is powerful and he really never stops being that way
Honorable mention: Rydia from Final Fantasy 4. A mage who can cast any level of black magic and summon Bahamut? Yeah, broken. She and Yuna would be besties.
One mage I found broken was the sprite from Secret of Mana. When recruited, he's next to useless. But once you start learning magic by finding the elemental spirits, that's when he becomes a walking nuclear bomb. And the strength of the spells aren't only determined by the level of the character. The more you use them, the stronger they become.
Saturn is scarier than Pluto. Saturn's power is she can kill anything if she is willing to die and be reincarnated. Yes, Sailor Saturn could have single handedly killed Thanos.
I'd say Zerase from Suikoden V is a good contender too. Her default Star rune is amazing combined with her high magic and ability to absorb MP by attacking. She also has two free rune slots in addition to the Star.
Ill always love when Rita is mentioned. I was also delightfully pleased with number 1! I wont say who it is so that people can watch but I LOVE that game and how crazy that character is!
Okay, couple of things you got wrong about Fina from Skies of Arcadia; her special moves are supportive, yes, but in terms of magic, everyone can learn the same spells and all supportive spells don't rely on a stat for effectiveness. So everyone can be a support in terms of spell casting, but Fina stands apart from her special moves being head and shoulders higher than the rest, due to moves like Lunar Light. MP cost is low because all spells cost one MP; however, special moves require none. There's a third resource, SP or spirit points, which is shared among the party. Fina is also the most powerful spell caster; so she's far more than a support.
There are two other things about Melia that actually make her broken: First is that while physical damage accuracy is dependent on level differences (meaning you'll completely whiff physical hits on enemies that are more than 5 levels higher than you, and vice versa), ether attacks do not have that drawback--they will always hit. And the other thing is that all of her attacks do damage over time, the damage stacks, and it's also compounded with gems and her "Burst Mode" (which is a super mode that builds up over time). If you set her up right, you can kill superbosses in literal seconds with just one use of her attacks.
Ah Melia. Few things are more satisfying than Chain Attacking a superboss once, unequipping, and watching that gigantic health bar just melt away like it's nothing.
Bleu/Deis is broken because her stat growth table uses the first enemy formation table in the game's code since there are only eight stat growth tables in the game for the main characters and Bleu is the ninth character. Bleu uses Nina's equipment as well. It explain why the stat growth increases are huge even after reaching level 50 when the rest of the characters begin to wane. Bleu/Deis was likely an extremely late addition when Breath Of Fire 2 was in development.
I was glad to see a mention of Millenia's Spellbinding Eye. I used that so much. 😂 I used Sailor Pluto to help defeat the end boss. I just stocked up on a ton of those colognes or perfumes or whatever in the area they dropped a lot and used it every turn. I know it's a legendary, but I still think Mew is the most broken in Red and Blue with how early you can catch it even before getting the second gym badge.
Honorable mention: Meru from Legend of the Dragoon. Highest speed stat combined with high magic Stat and some of the best spells in the game (best healing spell easily) makes her handily the most broken character in the game
And the best part is that _you don't even have to get to Alakazam to make the game a cakewalk_, even the base form Abra can already lay waste to almost anything that isn't Psychic type (or a Chansey!) the second you can get a hold of special moves via TMs
Fun fact I noticed about Momo. Not only does he dress like a cute magical girl, but he also wrote books about magical girls that are likely the ones that influenced Mellore to become one.
Not even an honorable mention for Terra from FFVI? Her ability to transform to Esper form makes her an absolute powerhouse, even before you start giving her good equipment.
I’m shocked Rune/Thray from Phantasy Star 4 wasn’t on this list. Just equip two shields on him and he’ll tank everything in the game. His TP pool is also so high that you can just have cast techniques without ever worrying about running out of
Sad thing is Alakazam was busted till gen 4 with its coverage as the elemental punches were special till then and even with the special split it retained a high special attack.
Has anyone here heard of spell break. I really like the idea of playing as a busted mage in an action style type Rpg. Spellbreak was the closest thing i can think of where you start strong and get more broken. But unfortunately in execution it was a battle royale and is now dead. I just wish there was an action RPG where instead of being sword guy you can be some busted mage. My dream may never come true
Zerase from Suikoden 5. Her rune is a god damned nuke she can spam, but once yo throw a Magic Drain rune on her she regains spell slots with her auto attacks. Trivializes ghe entire game.
Grubb from _Septerra Core_ is also broken af. He is faster than pretty much every enemy in the game and is your 2nd fastest party member. Once you get more spell cards, he can wipe whole groups of trash before they move. To make it even better, he has the highest single-target damage output against robotic enemies and bosses. Robots were a sizable portion of enemies in the last 35% or so of the game.
Momo was so damn busted. In a game that was decently balanced, if you didn't use him or the final recruit. Momo just made it feel like you were using gameshark.
@@SnowWhiteTheU2 Hate to break it to you, but she's low tier at best. She's fast but can't damage anything to save her damn life. She has a few skills but other party members perform them better.

Correct but even on the PSP/PS4 remake she is still worth using all attack magic however still SUCKS so Milly is the only Mage worth using and she's a forced to join party member.

@@locloudanerpg The demiurge was the Xenoblade 3 reference. Every Xeno big bad is essentially a demiurge archetype. Since they are all retellings of Xenogears whose main villain is Deus. A computer virus interdimensional horror super weapon thing. That was treated as a god by the other villains.

have not watched it yet, but will say this, i will be really disappointed if Sora from kingdom hearts 2 and the mathematician class in final fantasy tactics arent in this list.
Id probably take Alakazam off the list, only because you can make the argument that there was a similar non legendary pokemon who was nearly as busted: Starmie. Starmie didnt quite have the same special, but similar speed, and a lot more phys def (preventing a hyperbeaming aerodactyl from ruining your day, as it was the 2nd fastest pokemon, tied with Mewtwo). It was open to thunder weakness, but also had access to Ice beam. Critically though most of this argument comes from childhood trauma where my friend had a near stat perfect Starmie that could kill Mewtwos who had mid to bad EVs and was virtually impossible to kill by all other pokemon (before anyone had any idea how EVs worked). That Starmie was the terror of the recess school yard.
@@locloudanerpg lol I never thought of Alakazam as a mage due to being psychic, I assumed it was just Special = mattack. Ive probably played too much DnD (or BG3 specifically) to think of physics and mages as the same thing.
@@sakuraelise9126 It sounds awesome! Been meaning to try out tactical JRPGs. I'll put it on my watchlist (it's a bit pricey right now 😅), and try it out when I get the chance. Thanks a lot. 👍
patty is more rpg-ey, as you cannot select the spell specifically only if its offensive or support Rita is broken from the get-go. More so after you get tidal wave. Even more so after you unlock some supporting skills
Not really even on Very easy mode Emma still SUCKS Physical s crafts I had those outdamage EVERY SINGLE spell Emma can use even on Very easy mode and her at lv 99 so she still SUCKS.

Totally agree!
yessss. I always rush turning Yuna into my black mage/summoner combo. Kimahri also has really good magic potential.
No fr. I only progress Lulu to make a better Yuna. Soon as I get those blk magic stones it's a rap for Lulu.
They all end up being relatively the same (outside of overdrives and unique actions like summoning, swimming, and built in range attacks) at the end with Yuna being the only character worth a damn outside of Rikku, Tidus, and Wakka.
I do love them in tales of where they start being weak and squishy but at the end they are super broken
I found Bleu completely by accident back in the day. I had never heard of the idea of hidden party members before, so this totally blew me away.
I bet that was crazy!
It really Bleu you away?
I appreciate that you include obscure titles like Sailor Moon: Another Story. Very refreshing! Love that game, though haha
About Alakazam
The reason why he us so strong is because Psychic type is incredibly overpowered in gen 1
It's pm have no weaknesses (Ghost type is bugged due to oversight,and it have no effect instead of being super effective and Bug type have no good moves, except maybe Pin Misale on Jolteon,which still sucks)
This was somewhat balanced in Gen 2 by adding Steel which resist Psychic and Dark with complete immunity to it
Also the Special stat being both special attack and special defence being one stat isn't an oversight (they dis split them in Gen 2 tho)
Also crits it's that useful,since in Gen one crits ingore both yours and your enemy stat buffs
Also i advise you to watch some gen 1 speedrunes vids
You can learn a lot aboit the game this way and it's pretty interesting
I really like how everyone says how Rita is broken
And Estelle is just there
I mean,she also has Spell End, plus a full screen nuke in Holy Rain,an arte Force Feild,which gives i-frames (was really broken in og release,fixed in PS3 and ownwards)
