Who looks better in Trance mode?

Trances

So, is it just me or did Zidane have the best Trance? =/. Why not make everyone's trance equally useful? Who's was your favortie?

So, Discuss: Trances
 
Zidane definintly had the best trance in the game. His solution number 9 was the best of all and it even saved me against that Earth guy.

Vivi's wasn't bad either if you had ultima and were able to cast it twice.

Freya's was nice if you were up against an enemy that was too touch for your characters. She would just stay up in the air and not get hit :D

The rest were alright.

Eiko's double white was nice if she had holy.

Garnet's grand summon only let you summon with out using up MP, which could be good if you need to repeatedly cast summons, but other than that it was pretty useless.

Can't remember what Steiner, Quina, and Amarant's were.

The trance system was a pain because they only lasted for one battle. And if a character tranced at the end of battle, well then it was wasted.
 
Quina Trance allowed him/her to do the "Cook" ability. I am not quite sure what it's use was for. lol.

Amarant's Trance allowed him to double his special abilities. Like his "Chakra" move allowed only 1 character MP and HP well, in trance it allowed him to do it to multiple people.

Steiner...I am not sure of. I think it just increased his attack? Meh...

Omg, Freya's Trance I never understood. So, it just allowed her to stay in the damn air? How useless.
 
Zidane's was cool and destructive, but just like Cloud, who had all-around good stats, Zidane's trance is much more powerful than the other ones.
 
Is Zidane's the most useful? Let's see...

ZIDANE: Can cause 9999 damage in a single hit.

VIVI: Can cast two black magic spells-probably the second useful.

STEINER: Triples damage. Yeah, I never noticed the increased damage, really.

GARNET: Summon can stick around. Summon may cause more damage. Also, ensures that you see the full summon animation every time they attack, despite normally seeing a shorter version of it. So this one isn't useful, and annoys you, too.

FREYA: Probably my favorite character. Her trance? Sticking around in the air, free from getting damaged all the while causing high damage. I loved this one, until I realized after using it that I needed to cast Regen on everyone and had no white mages. That didn't end well.

QUINA: Now you have to get a enemy beneath 70% of their max HP instead of 25% in order to eat them. Useful when trying to get a spell. Not so useful when she already has the spells of every enemy in the area.

EIKO: I never used this, mainly because in the short periods of time I was forced to use Eiko before pulling a Umaro and sticking her on the airship permanetly, she never tranced.

AMARANT: Now his moves effect all targets. Works with some-Aura, Chakra, Revive. But I never found a use for most of his moves, especially the Gil Toss move that's in every game that I detest.

So...yeah. Out of those, only Zidane's and Vivi's are always useful. The protagonist usually has the best limit break, but this is a tad bit ridiculous, now that I reflect on it...still my favorite Final Fantasy game, however.
 
Freya's also targeted all enemies while up in the air, it was slightly more useful than most of you give credit.

How EPIC would Beatrix be if she had a Trance bar?
 
Zidane's was by far the most powerful just the same as Clouds limit break and Squalls Lionheart which was just devestating.

Vivis was effective and with the right magic did more damage than Zidanes and even Steiners was good with a higher weapon I used to get 9000+ hits with him on his trance.
 
Zidane's trance was good seeing as his top ones hit for big damage which helped during late boss battles, but overall, I hated this game's way of using Trances.

You get into a really hard battle, your Trance meter is almost full, you're hacking away at the boss which is taking you forever. You finally get popped in the jaw which sends your favorite character into Trance which will help big time. FINALLY! Then the very next character takes a hit on the boss and knocks him out and you defeat him. Hurray...and Damnit!

Trance can be so wasted in this game. If only they would have been able to been carried over to the next battle, or anytime for that fact, sort of like FFVII's or FFX's.
 
i liked zidanes becaus he usually takes off the most and has always had the best ones. one of my favourites is tidal flame
 
I can't remember FFIX too well; it's been more than 2 years since I last played it.

Zidane's trance was pure power; how can you not like that?

I like Amarant's 'cause I think his trance was his Chakra abilities, but could be multi-targeted

Steiner became an actual knight in his trance

Viv was double cast, and the rest I don't really remember.
 
I thought that Zidanes were the most powerful, as they were doing 9999 in late disk 2 for me, but this is probably because he's the main character...

I found Vivi and Steiners Trance modes useful too, especially later in the game. Although, you could argue that Steiners becomes useless when he can hit for 9999 anyway...
 
I never used Steiner because I found him to be useless in my party.

I did think Freya's trance was very stupid. =/. I hated alot of the Trance's except for like Vivi, Zidane, and Amarant.
 
-Threads Merged-

I quite like Vivi's trance. I mean, for him to cast two consecutive magic attack is pretty damn helpful during battle. Zidane's "Dyne" is also very appealing since it is very powerful. Can't really beat that.
 
i Think Quinas trance is awesome! That when he turns into real chef! I always enjoy watching it ^^
 
Zidane looked like an idiot in trance, I just don't like it :wacky:

I really like Eikos though, her wings look gewd, Steiners just looks scary, I really likle Vivi's, his hat looks all cute when it's pointy

I don't get Garnets eidolon trance though, i didn't notice anything different in attack power. Im sure eikos will be more useful later on.....Vivi's is good, until I run out of MP -__-

Zidanes is great and Quinas is pretty epic aswel, although once I have learned all the eat command thingies it will just be....useless :S
 
I quite like Zidane's appearance in Trance - very similar to Kuja's own. My favourite is probably Freya though.


FYI Hips, Garnet's Trance ability is when she summons an Eidolon, that same Eidolon will appear in increments until her gauge is depleted. The periodical attack isn't very strong in comparison to regular summoning though, so it's pretty poo. Not too bad for additional damage though, on the whole.
 
Oh that makes more sense then, although it's not happened yet, I only ever seem to get trances when I don't want them, usually right at the end of a battle when I don't have the chance to use them, which sucks -__-

I haven't seen Amarants yet either seeing as I don't have him yet. I still haven't decided whether I think Garnet looks nekkid in her trance form, still looks gewd though >_>
 
I think Kuja looks better in his trance forum, better then any playable character really.
