    worst part is she has no group heal skill
    Robo and Frog are better healers than her

      Robo is too good. They thought that his low speed would be a good balance but his skills are just too versatile. Marle shines in her dual and triple techs. She makes every single character a better version of themselves. Alone she struggles because too many characters are healers. They either needed to give her a level 3 ice spell or NOT give Robo a party heal. Though Haste is crazy good.

        Robo also gets +3 speed when you defeat Atropos. It's like they wanted him to have no weakness by endgame along with the highest physical damage, 2nd-broadest element coverage and strongest multi-target single tech heal.

      Robo maybe overall(but Marle is a better single-party member healer by far)
      Frog, not even close

        What hurts single character heals are the many low MP cost party heal dual techs that damn near fill you up. Frog isn't the best healer on his own but all of his healing dual techs are awesome. Even Marle herself has some of this. Aura Whirl is plenty useful late game. And you also end up with a ton of elixers from charm so if one character does get hard up you have options.

          Magus is the worst, hands down. Zero dual techs and his two triple techs require a colored rock eating up someone's accessory slot. And he has no single target spells so in several fights, like with Lavos Spawns, his only use is physical attacks.

              When you get him he's terribly underpowered. Everyone else will likely have all of their techs. Not Magus.

            thats what items are for.

            absolute brainlet. you dont need duo techs. his magic is stronger than others that use the same spell. versatility of using whatever element you need to counter. triple techs are objectively a scam and inefficient for all characters. magus is fine and you dont know how to actually play right.

              >versatility of using whatever element you need to counter.
              By the time you get Magus this becomes a non-issue. There are very few encounters in the end game that call for all four elements and having one character with all the level 2 spells just isn't that useful compared to any other character filling that slot. Meanwhile not having any single target techs is very annoying at that point in the game. Lots of bosses will punish you for spamming Dark Matter. The only people who don't think Magus is the worst have probably only played New Game + recently where it doesn't matter who you take.

            Use your other characters' dual techs. You have to have one person using single techs alongside the dual techs anyway. Meanwhile there aren't any triple techs that deal more damage than 3 top level single techs. Magus's weaknesses are overestimated by new players.

    Haste might be the best spell in the game, let’s your whole party move two or three times as often as they normally would.

    It’s not flashy or a big number like most good spells so people overlook it like they do for most buffs, but it singlehandedly makes her as good as the rest of the cast if you actually use it consistently.

      haste is only useful if you play wait mode with low atb speed, otherwise your bars all refill while animations are playing out making the extra speed useless

        I was on active with high speed and I remember haste being useful. If I remember right it basically doubles the speed your bars recharge, and if you’re fast enough you’ll get extra turns in before the enemy makes a single action.

      If all you care about is story, characters, and atmosphere, watch a movie or a TV show.
      A game, of any genre, needs to stand on the gameplay.
      There are RPGs with great gameplay. Chrono Trigger is mostly mediocre but it has its moments. The final boss in particular is a test of how well you've been paying attention throughout the whole game, I think it's actually one of the better designed final bosses of the RPGs I've played.

        The fact that your first instinct was to name movies and TV shows as the source for quality story and characters (lol), instead of books, says a lot about you. Go be a simpleton somewhere else.

    Agreed wholly. More and more are coming to realize that the SNES was not, in fact, the "JRPG power house" it was often touted to be, having only a paltry selection of Squaresoft's scraps from before their prime on the PlayStation. Better JRPGs are to be found elsewhere, such as the PC Engine CD, Mega Drive, Mega CD, and PC-98.

    This game's character balance and progression isn't great, but it doesn't matter because it's tightly designed around an almost entirely linear narrative and by the time it opens up you can buff anyone you want with magic/speed tabs.

    RPG fans are willing to overlook nonsense as long as they make sense sense of them and the system ultimately works.

    I think to truly be an RPG fan you have to be the type of person who sees numbers and stats the way an action game fan sees levels.

    If you end up playing a wizard who dual wields barbarian axes or a paladin who specializes in necromancy, that's fine. To me that's a failure in game design, but diehard RPG fans consider these outcomes normal, even endearing.

    RPGs are truly for nerds.

    She has twin charm with Ayla and all her dual techs are absurdly powerful, so there's that.

    Besides it doesn't matter if she has shit skills or not since the game is so easy.

    Marle is good in the mid-game, especially paired with Ayla for their dual techs. In the endgame and NG+, the only real use I've found for her is pairing her with Lucca, having her haste everyone then spamming Antipode 3.
