Final Fantasy 10-2: I...guess Yuna's...a...fighter...based on...how she starts...in Gunner? Ok, someone who knows this game better than me and the actual differences (primarily in the unique classes) can shed some light on this!
Hello! Was perusing around the forum when I saw this, and had to mention it, so I signed up.
The following comparisons were made based on level 99 Stats for all characters.
Trainer
HP and MP are all the same
ATK: Yuna>Paine>Rikku
Def: Yuna>Paine>Rikku
Agi: Rikku>Paine>Yuna
Eva: Rikku>Paine=Yuna
Mag: Rikku>Paine>Yuna
MgD: Rikku>Paine>Yuna
Acc: Paine>Rikku>Yuna
Luc: Paine>Yuna>Rikku
Attack: Yuna, Paine, Rikku
Magic: Rikku, Paine, Yuna
Speed: Rikku, Paine, Yuna
Hit: Paine, Rikku, YunaMascot
HP: Yuna>Rikku>Paine
MP: Rikku>Yuna>Paine
Atk: Paine>Yuna>Rikku
Def: Yuna>Rikku>Paine
Agi: Yuna=Rikku>Paine
Eva: Yuna=Rikku>Paine
Mag: Rikku>Yuna>Paine
MgD: Rikku> Yuna=Paine
Acc: Paine>Yuna>Rikku
Luk: Paine>Yuna>Rikku
Attack: Yuna, Paine, Rikku
Magic: Rikku, Yuna, Paine
Speed: Yuna and Rikku, Paine
Hit: Paine, Yuna, RikkuSpecials
*Note: the parenthesizes indicate the replacement party being factored in as well
(i.e. Paine has Lower Defense than Rikku, but her Wings have a high enough defense
that combined with Paine, they overshadow Rikku's and her Smasher-R and Crusher-L)
HP: Paine>Rikku>Yuna
MP: Rikku>Yuna>Paine
Atk: Paine>Rikku>Yuna
Def: Rikku>Paine>Yuna (Paine>Rikku>Yuna)
Agi: Paine>Rikku>Yuna (Paine>Yuna>Rikku)
Eva: Paine>Yuna=Rikku
Mag: Yuna>Rikku>Paine
MgD: Yuna>Paine>Rikku
Acc: Paine>Rikku>Yuna
Luk: Paine>Yuna>Rikku
Attack: Paine, Rikku, Yuna
Magic: Yuna, Rikku, Paine
Speed: Paine, Yuna and Rikku
Hit: Paine, Rikku, YunaFor those who don't know, all DressSpheres other than the above mentioned have the exact same stats for every character. "Attack" refers to the ratings for the HP, Atk, and Def stats, Magic refers to Mp, Mag, and MDef, Speed refers to Agi and Eva, and Hit refers to Acc and Luk (Luk being given less importance, since it mainly affect critical hits.)
For Trainer, Yuna tops Attack and bottoms out the rest, giving the impression of a fighter. Most of Yuna's Trainer abilities however rely on inflicting different elements (Fire, Water, etc). I don't know if these abilities rely on Strength or magic, but I'm leaning towards the former. Her abilities also include inflicting death, doom, and the holy element as well as healing and curing statuses (Although, all Trainers have the last two abilities). Rikku's Trainer skills revolve around stealing, and I can't say for Paine (I haven't maxed out her Trainer abilities yet) But even with differing skills, most skills are about/include inflicting statuses. I would say that for Trainer, Yuna is a Fighter much the same way Byuu from Bahamut's Lagoon is a Fighter. Definitely Attack oriented, but very Magelike.
Mascot Makes Yuna Definite Fighter-Mage Material. On top of top tier Attack and Second Tier Magic, She gains Kupo! Skills (Which are essentially Super White Mage abilities, i.e. Haste and Regen on all party, Full-Life on all party, and Moogle Beam which is basically Holy+) Which makes her a REALLY solid White Mage. On top of this, She's given Swordplay (Warrior abilities - Elemental Sword, Status Breaks, and Enemy delaying physical attacks) And Arcana (Dark Knight abilities - mostly debilitating Statuses, like Poison, Petrify, and Death.) Which completely rounds out everything the "Fighter-Mage" could stand for.
Floral Fallal Yuna is is Mage, hands down. Her top is Magic, but she bottoms out Attack and Hit. Most of her skills are basically "Fire, but Cast repeatedly" Or "Flare, but cast repeatedly." Her Right Pistil mainly uses healing skills, buffs the party, or debuffs the enemy stats, while her Left Pistil works on Status Aliments. Nothing about these abilities strike near the need for Physical damage except maybe the Right Pistil's Stat breaks.
So in short, Yuna is a Fighter, a Fighter-Mage, and a Mage.
That's probably even more confusing.
