I started out with Vaan using one-handed swords, Fran using bow, and Ashe using...something, but eventually, Vaan ended up using great swords and Ashe ended up using the Masamune + Genji Glove combo (regular combos of 6-8 hits are awesome). Then I remember I had Balthier use spears/guns, and Penelo use dagger. I don't remember that other guy's name, but he used one-handed swords as well. Eventually I filled out the License Board for every character, so it didn't really matter in the end. >.>

To be honest I think I'd get a lot more out of the Swap Magic and game I want to import than VP1. It's a tough choice. >.> The auction will probably go over $80 excluding shipping.

I need to study too. Can't afford to procrastinate today because of Prison Break, later.
