I was thinking back to how fun each one was to play. I remember I used Ziggy a lot and almost always had him and Momo in my party during Episode I. Later I ended up using Jin a lot more and had chaos as my main healer IIRC.
Sorry if it’s just me replying again, but I would never pass up the chance to choke out enemies as Ziggy in episode 3. I usually kept Shion in the party when I could because honestly if I remember right she is a pretty good healer in all of the games.
My bias party : Kosmos, Jr. & chaos
This was always my favorite too! But I like going ziggy momo Jr for 2 since its momo and jrs story and of course ziggy needs to be there to protect them
Depends on the game.
Ep. I - KOS-MOS, Shion, chaos
Ep. II - KOS-MOS, MOMO/Shion, Jr./Jin
Ep. III - KOS-MOS, Jr., Ziggy/Jin
The only constant is KOS-MOS. She was always in the party unless the game forcibly took her from me.
KOS-MOS was a super good Fire attacker in the 3rd game if I remember right. I may not have kept KOS-MOS in 100% of the time, but I almost always had Dinah in the 3rd game for those Beam attacks.
Yep. All her techs were fire element. She had the second highest attack of the party (next to Jin) and second highest defense (next to Ziggy) so she was a really powerful all-round fighter. Getting her master ethers made her super overpowered. Her only real weakness was that she had the lowest agility of the party, so without gear to make up for that she spent much of the latter half of the game going last in turn order.
shion kos mos and ziggy
Jr./Shion/Chaos for Ep I.
KOS-MOS/Jr/Jin - Ep II.
Jr./Ziggy/MOMO for Ep III./KOS-MOS/Shion/Chaos
I don’t remember what I did the first time through anymore, but when I went back a few years ago to finish all the sidequests in XSIII, I ran around with chaos, Jr., and Ziggy in their excellent swimwear and fought as many gnosis as it took to get Ziggy’s final weapon (all those Sephirotic Canes, yeesh). I know Ziggy was in the final boss fight because it kept going:
- Rocks fall
- Everyone dies
- …Ziggy heals, because he had something equipped that absorbed physical damage
Ziggy saved the day.
I just finished Episode 1. For the middle and final parts of the game I stuck with using KOS-MOS, chaos, and JR.
I’ve been using KosMos in xs1 and xs3. If you play by yourself in xs1, you will also use chaos (I like him) and MOMO (as a healer). In xs3, Chaos and Jin are used interchangeably.
For my first run of EP1 in forever I decided to go with MOMO, Ziggy, and chaos because I never used the latter two at all in my older runs.
But ideally I always use Shion.
