I think that's a pretty solid team,. although your two healers do have some issues in the durability department.

Aeris/Mint durability isn't really particularly problematic. Aeris really likes getting Life anyway, since it mitigates her biggest issue as a healer, and her limits actually make her fairly dangerous to hit into danger range once she reaches that L3 threshold. Plus, FF7 Regen is pretty good while it lasts! The team looks fairly solid, for all that it doesn't much like lightning blocking. TimeTwister on Geddoe is bound to be all sorts of entertainment otherwise, though. =D

Yeah, looks like it could do some neat things with turn manipulation between Tidus, Timelord and Aeris. The biggest problem is that offense is real bad if the opponent resists lightning.

Fang and Vanille should have some good synergy, and I like White Rose there to provide some power for the first few floors. The team will still struggle a bit early, but if they get to floor 4 they could have some fun potential for status nastiness. Sealstone wise, I think Neo Speed on Fang would serve your team a bit better than Violent Burst unless the majority of people allow TP techniques. The reason being that most of your team is around average speed and it could be helpful to have Fang disable some threats before they get the chance to attack with Slow or Daze. It also works as a deterrent for opponents to use MT damage because then they'll build Aeris's Limit Gauge.

VBL stops Aeris from getting her limit bar back.  That said...

...I remember Mystics as being really good in the earlygame, and Peppita...  Eh, if you scale her levels normally, gets beastly pretty fast.  No idea about Fang or Vanille, though.

I know that VBL prevents her from getting her limit back, I was explaining that Neo Speed on Fang might suit the team better. In that case Aeris's limits would build like normal.

I thought Neph changed it so that VBL only cuts Limit gain to 25% of normal now?

That said, if CT wants a VBL team, she should probably consider using more PCs that benefit from it. Otherwise NeoSpeed is a better option.

I don't think I did, but I COULD...

Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Thanks for the input on my team guys =)

Anyone else have any input on whether VBL would effect FFXIII's TP bar or not? (I'd be fine with a Neph call here) I can't really remember whether it worked with WA FP either for example =/

As a reminder here's what the girls would get F1 according mainly to the set ups accepted in the brainstorming thread a while back -

Fang - Attack, Ruin, Slow, Curse, Blitz, Adrenaline, Smite, Launch, Mediguard, Evade

Vanille - Deshell, Deprotect, Cure, Aero, Fire, Water

Peppita - Magic Hook (inflicts chaos/confusion), Charge, short O, counters (highly successful at inflicting chaos/confusion) , Critical Hit
 
White Rose - Healing/revival. Don't know what else she starts with (gonna play SF soon =))

Aeris - Cure, Healing Wind

If the team gets past the first floor once Peppita picks up Power Dance it should make Fang's Blitz pretty evil especially if Vanille can get the Deprotect/gas going later too =)

VBL I would let work on it.

If you're going that route, I would seriously consider going with press turn. That+imperil would get crazy in theory. I don't like Peppita on that team (You're already locking down Aeris/Fang/Vanille with average speed) and she's expensive.

Don't see any reason why VBL wouldn't work with TP.  It's not even the same as FP since FP gets set to default after battle while TP does not.

The bigger argument is what you can do with it.

Renew is really useful in a pinch too.

Usual FF13 TP antihype note: Only the leader can use TP abilities.  Leader death is gameover.  I'm certainly fine with letting all characters in the dungeon be "extras" for whom death is not game over (unless it's all FF13 characters), but Summon (or Renew or whatever) hype implies they are actually set them as Leader, which is asking for trouble in a lot of the Dungeon.

I pretty much second Snowfire. Not to mention TP abiities (besides Summon) aren't unique in any way (every PC gets all of them unless I'm forgetting something) so I'm pretty lukewarm about hype for them.

Also agree with SnowFire.  Do note that only one character can be leader, so only one character can use the TP abilities.  Not that it matters much, but still.

I was under the impression they would be able to use their Summon only yeah and that was decided in the final points cost for Fang/Vanille when they were added \0/ If the summoner dies while the summon is out they auto cast Arise on everyone.
