Seeing as FFIX had a diverse cast of characters(battle wise), whom did you find yourself using the most? Use this poll to select your usual party, as there is a multiple check option of up to 4 choices.
My main was usually Zidane, Freya, Vivi and Amarant.
-Zidane obviously because you have to use him. Thankfully his trance was useful and he's got pretty good attack power (and can steal).
-Freya I used as my support healer. After she would cast Rei's Wind, I'd usually make her jump(to avoid any attacks) or throw a healing item if need be.
-Vivi obviously has the black magic which is usually always useful. Once he gets his later spells, he's an AWESOME ally to have in battle once he is focused up.
-Amarant I used as an attacker/support. Throwing his throw specific items actually does more damage than his regular attack, and his Curse skill was great for Vivi to take advantage of.

I played Vagrant Story and enjoyed FF Tactics. That is why I love FFXII.

Although I'd still use Zidane as his trance is probably the best in the game. His stats aren't that bad either thankfully.
I never really used Dagger/Eiko/Quina/Steiner unless I had to. Summons and such were nice, but I could do just as much if not more damage from a black magic spell/regular attack half the time. Healing was covered by auto potion and Reis' Wind from Freya (or even Chakra from Amarant). Steiner was really powerful, but I simply had a preference to Amarant for his abilities. I just found them more useful in my battle plan. Blue Magic was just a bitch for me, pure and simple.
I've always used Zidane, Dagger, Eiko and Amaranth, even when I went up against Ozma lol. XD I wasn't able to concentrate as much on Quina, Freya and Steiner, just basically made them learn all their skills and that's that. ToT Also, if it were just a sortie, I usually take Vivi in the place of either Dagger or Eiko, Doomsday is WAY too cool not too be used. until you forgot to equip Dark-absorbing accessories/armor and you die in one single cast. >.<;;
Zidane- cause hes the default character
Dagger- to heal and for summons
Vivi- useful,powerful, black magic
Steiner- for his high damage..also great when used with Vivi
I found that I used Zidane, Vivi, Steiner and Garnet most often:
Zidane: Main character so has to be used, but he was quite powerful and had a useful steal command. His trance attacks were very good if he was at high enough level (able to deal 9999 quite easily) and he was quite easy to train up in general, with lots of great items such as Ultimate Weapon.
Vivi: Lots of great magic to be cast, was also pretty fond of him as a character.
Steiner: When combined with Vivi could use magic sword and due to his high strength and defence, this was an added bonus.
Garnet: Her Eidolons were really good so used to her automatically. Her white magic was really useful also.
I trained all my characters up to about the same level, but I found that I used the above four a little more often than the others.

And if I was feeling silly, i'd add Quina for the lulz. Never liked using mages so i've never really used Vivi, and Steiner annoyed the hell outta me XD Dagger is there for her summons and healingz.

I stick with the original Zidane, Dagger, Steiner and Vivi. I use the others occasionally and level them up while having abit of fun with a different character cast...but I just like the original four too much.
For most FFs, I usually stick with any party with two strong attackers and one white mage. If there's a fourth slot, that's usually a red mage or somethng similar. I pretty much never use black mages except for when you don't have a choice (like FFIV).
However, in IX, for the later part of the game, I used Zidane (attacker), Dagger (w.mage/summoner), Vivi (b.mage) and Amarant (attacker). Vivi's black magic is especially useful, so that's why I stuck with him.
