Basically it goes like this. You state the name of the character, the RPG he or she is from, along with an explanation of why this character is overpowered. However there are rules.

1) It only counts if the character itself is overpowered. So good equip or spell setups or whatever that can turn ANYONE into overpowered characters don't count.

2) It has to be a playable character. Not a guest, temporary NPC partner, or enemy.

To start with, here's my entry:

Raquel Applegate (Wild Arms 4):
She's basically the warrior of the group. She uses a large two handed sword that can sometimes turn into a spear (?) and as an added bonus, her attacks ignore defense. Her first Force Ability allows her to have two turns at once, and can even stack numerous times if you've got enough Force saved up. In fact, this is the recommended strategy to use against most bosses. Later on as she levels up, her critical hit rate will skyrocket, and her dodge and counterattack rates will also skyrocket. Since her counterattack damage, crit chance, and crit damage goes up even further when countering, it is possible to defeat a number of bosses in a single hit if she countercrits them. This isn't even counting equipment later that can make her even stronger.

Edit: Forgot to mention that doing a Raquel solo run is considered easier than playing the game normally.

Shinon and/or Rolf are fucking absurd with a good support, of course a lot of characters in that game are pretty fucking strong.

Thank you.

I'm wondering if Poo from Earthbound would count. His normal stats are actually quite close to the team's damage output with no equips. In fact, equipping him with anything is totally optional as there is only one set he can wear (that gives him stats anyways, he can equip almost anything in the game but it gives him negative stats), which is spread out across the Earthbound world.

I would also note that his spells are various spells that the party has (so he's useful at any time), but rule #1 probably negates the fact.

This post is spam because it's just pointing out that Elnendil is back, and that it's spam.

Dekar from Lufia 2.

Maybe.
Muscle for brain is typical. Physical in trade for magical. That makes him fair.
Or not.

We have a Symphonia and Symphonia 2 example, let's throw in Abyss.

Guy: Sunlight Chamber + Void Tempest, which allows him to convert Void Tempest to Dragon Tempest, via an incomplete wind FOF circle. For your information, you normally need a, well, complete circle obviously and those are only created by high level spells of that element, otherwise you require four usages of an elemental melee skill, or two usages of a low level spell. Guy has this skill called Severing Wind, which creates an incomplete wind FOF.

Level him up enough with the right Capacity Core to augment his stats until he gains the ability to chain level 2 skills (Severing Wind) back to level 1 skills (Void Tempest).

On his own he's already a fast attacker and he's actually the stronger of the two swordsmen. So stagger the enemy, knock it up into the air with Severing Wind, catch it with Dragon Tempest, repeat. It sounds like:

Seh! Hah! Seh! Hah! Seh! Hah! Seh! Severing Wind! Flames reveal your fury! Dragon Tempest! Seh! Hah! Seh! Hah! Seh! Hah! Seh! Severing Wind! Flames reveal your fury! Dragon Tempest!

Rinse/repeat until you're out of TP/the enemy dies. Yes, it's an infinite combo. There's a vid somewhere on Youtube of him soloing Nebilim (your good old bonus boss) at 1 hp and never healing/dying using this combo.

Give a link or it never happened.

Good ol' "pics or it didn't happen"

Video info tells you what happens for when he did get hit. Entire field MAs don't kill, and you're invincible during FOF Changes. ...Yeeeaah. He doesn't let the combo go on infinitely, but oh well.

Incidentally, here's one of him in the JP version attacking fast enough to keep Nebilim staggered quite a bit without using that combo- though apparently his skills had a longer stagger time in that version. (And Nebilim's not as hard)

Last 1/3 of the game, Yggdra is overpowered IMO. Yggdra Union spoilers...Did someone already say Yggdra?

I think Maria from KitN is ridiculously powerful, too. She has a huge attack range, can use any weapon, can move, jump, and attack in any direction, and has a lot of attack power. Need I say more?

Aegrus: NOW I believe you.

I don't think Maria counts. She has a pretty big weakness (that only gets worse in higher difficulties) in that she has bad Vit and can never have good Vit.

i think she counts.but there someone even bad-ass than her

Laharl.

To reemphasize the point, if the character does something another character can and get similar results, the character isn't overpowered, it's what you're doing.

So, for example, Guy doesn't count.

The reason why Raquel counts is because she is doing something none of the other characters do and she can obliterate anything in the game.
