Assuming perfect circumstances*, which seven players (yes, players; no double keying so that you can have four spots tied up between you and your best friend, or similar double key stuff) would you want to team with to go through the game? In my case, I'd want a team lineup like so:
Hersil (Kija), White Mage Rotund`Jere (me), Blue Mage Mahn, Fighter Soren, Black Mage Rand, Red Mage Kain, Dragoon U Dye, Knight Arlen (Reap), White Mage
There'd be a nice mix of melee and magic this way. Dye, Kain and Mahn would have little trouble killing things not resistant to melee (more so when Soren, Rand or I throw out Boost spells), two WMs (oddly enough, the two players better known for their BM characters) and a RM mean sufficient healing, and magic damage would be plentiful.
* You have as much free time as required, there are no worries about real life matters interfering, etc.

So Taka hates me, okay, i can handle that =P I only have seven spots to distribute, and you rarely log in nowadays. You gotta show up more often if you want to stay in the higher ranks of eligibility!

Hello.......... rofl kinda ugly to see I didnt get chosen, needed to respond >_> j00 auto phail! =P
oh well, there is a difference between favorite and best teams, i on my hand cant choose who would be my favorite team since i dont have favorites =( ... weird... I like to get along with many and just being a party of good people suits me, getting to know people is fun, and just knowing them would be better, but im sure id enjoy partying with all you, cept the ones that were able to make ignore list or the people that are haters of wisdom, who arent in my ignore list, they just simply dont like me for some odd reason.

It makes me wonder...if I'm chosen due to my leet BH hacker skills...or if it's because I'm the only die-hard RedMage enthusiast still around who proves it.

Neo - Black belt U. Dye - Knight Crazy Cloud - Blue mage Elle - Knight myself - White mage Slick - Dragoon Doc - Black mage WhiteWizard - White mage Yes, I know. Half of these people no one knows/remembers. Neo was the highest leveled person until v7 came to full affect. He was a very good player, and knew black belts like the back of his hand. U. Dye is, without a doubt, the top knight. Not because of level, but because he knows exactly how to handle the situation and himself without much trouble. Crazy cloud is a very good blue mage, one of the best I knew of. He was one of the reasons why we won against Geyzer, when he first came out. Even with the only actual healer at level 28. Elle is another very good knight. She pretty much paved the way for str-heavy builds, including pure. She showed Axle how to use it better, and weapon paths (No, most expensive = not always best), and he led the way for everyone else to start using the path, even though half the concepts are now missing. I know I make a very good white mage. I can balance them fairly well, even though I know I'm not the best, I figured this is likely a good position for me, considering other people in the party know how to utilize their talents as well, if not better, in their class than me. Slick is, in my mind, the best dragoon to the game. Sure, he can be overpowering on personality sometimes, and he's quirky as hell. But, he's good at what he knows, and he knows dragoons better than anything, as far as I've personally seen. For 8+ rounds in a row, he told me exactly what kind of hit (mortal wound, critical, normal, weak, dragoon fury) he's likely going to end up doing, before he made his move, and every time it came out to be what he said. Doc is, although rivaling when it comes to me especially, one of the best black mages I have met. He's odd, and spiteful as hell, but knows how to get the job done as affectively, and quickly, without being too drained of mp or hp, on anyone's part. He's a top notch mage, and without a doubt belongs on my team. WhiteWizard is a very old player, way back from v5. He quit not long after v6 came out, but what I can remember, he is a very smart white mage. He knew when to heal, when set up buffs, and when to med at a moments notice. He may not be as attack-minded as someone such as Hiroshima, but considering the rest of the team, I thought the best possible followup person is one of the best healers I have personally gotten to know. He's long since earned a spot here. And there's my team.

Well, double keying would kind of ruin it a bit for me; I'd only have six spots open after I accounted for myself, and that'd be cut to four after I include Dye as his Knight and WM. It was annoying enough trying to decide which six players I'd have accompany me and him; I had to pick between the six I chose and others like Conny, Stryfe, Taterz, Wizzie (Wisdom), Chewmin, Hiro and Thorn. Trying to figure out who to cut from the six I DID pick would take me even longer (and add more annoyance).
I suppose it depends on how many people you would want to team with; the fewer there are, the easier it'd be to fit in double keying.

Wow... Makes me fuzzy all over knowing I'm in just about every list here...
Let me think here... my list...
Me - Knight Arlen (Reap) - WM Celeste (Jumin) - WM Soren - BM Kain - Goon Rotund'Jere (Taka) - Blm Mahn - Fighter Rand - RM
With this group, I went for a diverse approach with a lot of people who generally know what they're doing (methinks this is why half the lists here are comprised mostly of BH). I was careful to choose a pair of WMs that I know I can trust with the healing (half the time, I'm partying with one who thinks they're a BM, and my WM is locked down between HSing, Medding, and looking for that Fast3 opportunity).
Originally I had Kija instead of Soren, but then a couple things came to mind: A. Kija might decide to quit because he doesn't wanna overlevel, and B. I haven't seen him on a BM in so long, I dunno if he remembers what half his own spells do.

*removes Dye from his list* heh heh hi Dye >_>
hey, for the record, i know how to heal, okay, and if necesary that's what i'll do, it's just once we hit ToTE, (before we had that 50mil exp loss) there wasn't a whole lotta healing, and then everyone got their own damn whitemage up there, so i was like, well fuck it, i'll just blow shit up.

And that...is why you phail.
<3 to Ryan. Why the hell am I the only Redmage listed besides Skylight writing his.a nd Kyou maybe using his? Come on...I know I'm active and have always used em...but there've been some other competent Reds out there.

I think it's because you're the only one most people can think of, Rand. Just like I didn't think of Hiro right off the bat as far as WMs (no offense Hiro, I just don't see you that often anymore). Plus, you're the only RM I can think of who, instead of bitching about how RMs suck, takes what you DO have and leaves a hell of a mess in your wake.

Phaw, it's all tactics. People bitch and complain because they don't have 300 willpower and a Meteor spell, that's what it is. Simple fact: Reds were versatile and useful creatures even before Fast and Lightstorm, and Instill Element. Those just made them even funner. Besides...it prolly helps that I don't like being the leader-type. Support fits more.

Yer, just don't ring a bell near him. It's the closest recorded case of a Black Belt ever utilizing a Fighter's Rage.

Now now, I just don't like being touched. Ask Dye about the failed SS harvests where something tried to hit me and I Countered it across the seas and into Kreland.

Y'know, it's tough to decide a list, and leaving people out who you also wouldn't mind just sucks. But if I had to choose, I think it would be,
Myself, blackmage of course. The Legendary Solemn, Redmage. I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned, we all know that Solemn is one bad mofo. U. Dye, Knight. Kain, Dragoon. Rand, Redmage. Takahashi, Blackbelt. Assa, Blackmage. Pizza Man, Fighter. (Humor me.)
Didn't want the list to be TOO BH-heavy, it's obvious that the BH make a really nice team together.
