Name: Balthier
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Occupation: Sky Pirate
From:
Final Fantasy XII
Info:
Wikipedia
Balthier, in my opinion, is one of only two noteworthy characters in FFXII (Basch being the other). If you need me to tell you why I think Balthier is awesome, then obviously you don't know Balthier.

Though, I think he's been CotW before. But it doesn't matter, he should be Character of the Universe or something, he is that awesome.

^He was in my forum.
This is an example of me just picking a character to suck up to other people when nobody suggests someone. You guys have all week to just think of someone and PM it to me. It's not that hard. Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase help me.

Fixed.
Anyway Balthier possible one of the coolest FF guys.

Balthier is pretty much the fan-favourite of this game. (Though I personally liked Penelo just because she was probably the best mage)
It's really a shame that Guns in Final Fantasy games tend to suck unless they have a blade at the end, he was actually pretty good with a gun.

Balthier is the only good gunman in the series. -CSM

^ True. But still, Irvine is sexier.

^Irvine? Irvine's an ugly prettyboy. Balthier's a badass.

Nah, Mustadio can be really good if you give him Knight skills.

Whoops, I always forget about Tactics. But Mustadio is a relative of Balthier's. -CSM

Irvine is NOT sexier than B-squared. Never.
Also, I love Mustadio! So much.
Ahem, I thought Vincent Valentine was a pretty damn good gunman, too.

Vincent was okay....until he got his own game. -CSM

Vince, for me, got better when he got his own game.

Nope Nomyt, Basch is still better than Fran.

Meh, I always found him to be an average character, kind of like Cid was in VII. I found Mustadio and the gunners in Tactics Advance to be better. (Stopshot is overpowered, and if you take the time to give them Ultima weapon, then they're definitely a force to be reckoned with)
...but in terms of usefulness, Balthier kind of goes down low with a gunner without Stopshot or Mustadio without Knight skills. Most of that's because guns are weak. (But they ignore armour, don't they? That's probably an attempt to balance them out, but why does a freaking STICK hurt more? >.<)
