Rei actually has abysmal stats. He ends up bottom 3 in HP, AP, Pwr, Def and Int. Now AP and Int are never even close, but Pwr and Def are only slightly lower than the next highest. A lot of people like to thoughtlessly stick him on D'Lonzo and be done with it. I feel like this is a bit of a waste, first, she only offers 2pts bonus altogether and second, at no point in the game does he ever actually hurt for more Agi. The best option for Rei then is Bunyan. No penalty to Agi, keeping his main stat in tact, and the HP, Pwr and Def all compliment his Weretiger form which is the only really worthwhile thing he offers combatively.

Then there's Ryu. While everyone else in the game is in the bottom 3 for multiple stats, Ryu is always in the top 3 for ALL stats. If you go caster, you're losing out on one of the best physical characters, and vice versa. The temptation might be to just not take a Master and leave him balanced, but it's such a net overall loss that that's actually a worse option. A Pygmy Dragon (+300% boost to Int) in Magic Formation (+50% boost to Int) with some self-buffs surpasses Momo and Nina easily. While the Myrmidon which has already been discussed far and away outstrips anyone else as a physical attacker. So Emitai or Bunyan, depending.

Are you me?? I always pick III over IV. One of the best games of my childhood. Better feel to it than IV. III is just a hundred times more memorable, better sprites/animation, music, gameplay.. I agree with everything you said.

I realize and am willing to admit I'm probably 100% nostalgia blind here, but to me, BoF III is the greatest JRPG ever made. Just so many memories of it growing up with my older brother.
