Just bring Quistis and Selphie We're pretty close to the point where party selection is gonna affect more than three random encounters, but not quite yet.

Bring anyone who can bring us out of this mope party. I forgot how quickly everyone just gets completely mopey in this game (and how much that grated on me when I played). Also, in the future can you let us know who we're obligated to keep in the party for these choices, so we know who's available to dump/bring.

As to Rinoa, there's "expressing oneself ineloquently," and then there's "regressing to a five year-old." That whole "MEANY!" thing is just terrible. Rinoa is terrible. Almost as terrible as everyone else on the team. Anyway, Quistis and Selphie because they haven't been incredibly irritating recently.

I can't help but wonder how the "MEANY!" line was in the original Japanese. While the game is free of "Engrish" and accidental grammar oddities, it is entirely possible that there was a bit of cultural confusion in some of the lines.

Well, she couldn't say "rear end in a top hat!" in a jRPG, could she?

No, but she could have gone with the still not elegant, but...not 5-year-old "JERK!" or the still immature, but not totally false for a teenage girl, inelegant, "YOU SUCK!" The problem with "meany," is, intentions aside, have you heard anyone over the age of 6 use it in serious anger? On a girl her age's lips, it's more likely to be used in a cutsey, pouty way, with about as much rage or passion as sticking out her tongue. It's just too much a sort of babytalk to really be what they were going for, making her sound hopelessly affected at best, and seriously dubious sign for her intelligence at worst. In other words, probably the exact opposite of what may have been intended, and certainly, the exact opposite of the best defense that can be made of the line.

Selphie ist the only ray of light in this scene filled to the brim with joyless misery. EDIT: Not unlike the dark miasmas coursing through the tainted blood of Squall, cursed as he was to be born into this pain-filled world.

I think he's just saying it doesn't really matter because reasons EDIT: Oh right, Quistis and Selphie because Selphie will like the train ride and Quistis can be blonde and in a pink dress.

Rinoa and Selphie Selphie because trains, and Rinoa because she knows the area better that Quistis, I'm sure. Having a local with us sounds like a better idea than Quistis' "I've been there several times."

Quistis and Rinoa. Quistis as we haven't seen her limits yet and Rinoa because I dread to think what she'd get up to without us to look after her.

There's still a difference between "Immature" and "Makes Selphie look like a responsible adult".

When in doubt, assume that Squall is required and you're free to choose whoever you like for the other two slots. It's usually fairly clear if you're in a "you have to bring this person" or a "you may not bring this person" scenario. Usually.

Case in point, really. See the difference in tone? That's a perfect place for "Meany." Here, when she's actually, sincerely angry? Not so much, unless you want to take it 7 steps beyond "immature" and go for "May actually be 6 years old," since only small children -- and not even reliably then -- would use it to be actually angry with.

Let's go Zell and Rinoa. Zell hosed up bad and he knows it, but we're stuck with him so as a responsible leader we oughtta let him blow off some steam. And Rinoa because okay big boss lady let's see how you bring it.

Selphie and Quistis. Highest stats or no, any opportunity to keep Rinoa out of the party should be savoured, and we've seen very little of Quistis lately.

Quistis and Selphie, because Zell needs a time out and Quistis is a vaguely logical person.
