I think it's a credit to Sierra that we disagree so much on which characters are the best. This just means the game is very well balanced, and that there are many viable strategies.

Perhaps i should clarify that my tier list is based on efficiency, not just survival. Honestly you can survive 95% of all fights with pretty much any party combination, the game isn't that hard. But the question then is: How much time do you spend on an average encounter, how much damage will your team take and how much MP will you waste on every fight.

When it comes to quickly removing threats and not wasting ressources i think my tier list remains pretty viable: A purely offensive team, aimed at taking down enemy encounters by outspeeding them, and removing them before they get a chance to react is a viable strategy for all but a few tough boss fights. Sometimes i have to spend a bit of time healing after combat, but it's not nearly as time consuming as a dragged out slugmatch.

Honestly, if you are thinking about doing a new run, try using a purely offensive group consisting of characters like Robin/Varia/Aka/Claw Uyae. You'll be surprised at just how well it works.
