Final Fantasy: Rise of Despair

Well, I've placed Matt right after Casey and Cid after Adam and before Ize.

SBS: Harris catching a FREAKIN TOWER that was FALLING from a decent height was a LITTLE unrealistic. – RolandtheWicked

Most of the characters are pretty super(human/moogle/bangaa/nu mou/viera) anyways. But there is also a lot more to Harris than meets the eye anyways, as I'm sure a lot of the readers have noticed, but be warned that I am expecting you guys to notice.

Um, Monty Mendoza and Gilbert are starting to become a little pathetic now. Though they may be good as a team, it doesn't look like they could handle more than average on their own. – RolandtheWicked

Okay, you've got me here. Though those three characters on their own could handle several warriors at once, compared to the other characters their powers do pale in comparison. But it should also be noted that getting assistance is not weakness, rather there should be no shame in working together with others.

Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance, I do own the characters and plot.
