    Did you know? If you use the guard action, it will double your attack power for the next attack. And guess what? This effects STACKS. So basically, have one character guard up and other buff up/ heal and boss fights will be a breeze. Also always convert your gold into gems from merchants whenever you leave town. They can be resold at full value anytime and you do not lose them unlike your gold. That way, dying doesnt become a big deal.

    I’ve always played it as the Wilme/Valsu combo, grinding it out pretty early for Elixir. My best friend managed two different save files as Lejes joined by Valsu, making quite the power duo. He passed away 5 months ago and his save file is still on my SNES cartridge after all these years and it will remain for as long as I live.

    A good video for an overlooked RPG. I played with Kamil first time around and then Olaf. My playthrough with Kamil was a bit rough though I used Valsu both times due to his Elixir spell. Unfortunately, for me, I was turned off by Wilme and Lux due to their low gear variety. You'd think not having to buy gear would be a good selling point... well not for kid me. If I had played the game again, it might have been with Esuna, but the grind was too much for me to play again. Once to try it out, a second to try better, and my younger brother playing Lux was enough for me.

    Watching the recent 7th Saga run on RPG Limit Break, and listening to all of the explanations of deliberate changes in the game I no longer believe that the level up bonuses being gone are a bug. It wouldn't have made the game pitifully easy (until late game) to have, but at level 40 you'd have +60 to all stats, and at 60 you'd have +150 to all stats, with virtually all of the bosses being weaker.

The monsters are brutal if you’re not leveled up. 😢

    Theres some misinformation in this video but i kind of expected that to be honest. The whole olvan is the slowest is a bit unfair. Hes no slower than kamil or lux. Also he doesn't have the lowest magic growth thats wilme. Lejes stat growth isnt worse than kamil in any area and it's better in some. His biggest issue is his gear choices. Im pretty sure wilme isn't weak to fire in fact I'm pretty sure he actually resists it but his magic stat is so low it usually doesn't matter.

    As for companions: Esuna is the best for everyone. Kamil is my choice for Esuna's companion. Wilme is also a good choice, though not as versatile. As Valsu I would say bring either Lejes of Wilme. Lejes makes the most sense to have a good spell caster and swordsman, but Wilme can also attack everyone.

    7th saga long player here. Lejes does have access to ice magic. In fact, he has access to all offensive magic. Paired with Valsu, they make the best team in the game only missing laser magic, which can be specially difficult but possible. Olvan is strong. For player like me, it is important but people need to take into account that agility and magic have a cap at 255. Once olvan max these out he is a powerhouse. Esuna and Valsu as main characters suck. Their fights are super slow and you will be struggling early game. They stop gaining significant boosts end game and can be killed in 1 hit by a K. Night. They are stuck with the worst equipment and only are reliable when recruited at 45+ level. Kamil, Olvan or lejes will probably be the best for main character since their offensive capabilities can be paired with a companion. Always keep in mind that any other companion in this game is way stronger than the main character and has better buff gains, so try recruiting someone at level 50 and you'll see what I'm talking about (eg the best apprentice I got was Lux at level 81 850 pwr 800 def maxed magic and agility.)

    It turns out that Lejes is amazing at soloing the game. I tried this out a few years ago and had a surprisingly easy time. He has strong magic to clear out mobs, high speed to dodge most attacks by late game, and decent physical attack for bosses. Bonus: he has fire spells so he can quickly defeat a really annoying late-game boss that is only weak to fire. The only two parts of the game that were really hard were Red-Pison (b/c you need to beat him at a low level to avoid having to grind excessively before Patrof) and the final boss (whose attack and magic hit so hard it's basically up to the RNG whether you live long enough to debuff him and buff yourself). Everything else was just as easy as a normal playthrough and you level up a lot faster solo.

  • @SirVyre

    My own tier list for 7th Saga Characters, worst to best: 7. Lejes - Faster than Kamil, with more magic, but overall just sorta meh. 6. Valsu - Like, yeah, sure, every buffing spell and Elixir. Whoopdee do! He couldn't fight his way out of a crowded booth at Denny's, if you ask me. The reason I rate him so low is that due to his low offensive capability, he basically doesn't work well without a partner. I've tried using him a few times, and just find him to be relatively disappointing, but that may be due to how he is in the early game. It's been so long since I've even considered using him seriously that I sometimes forget he exists. Plus there's the fact that you have the runes to buff you for a large portion of the game, anyway. 5. Olvan - An otherwise great character, but lacks so much speed that it really sorta hurts him. 4. Kamil - The all rounder, pretty good at all things. Kind of the basis for what's good and what's bad imo. 3. Lux - He has notably lower speed than Wilme, so while he gets the same buffing benefit for offense and has far better magic, his lower speed causes him to miss a lot more often. If you choose him as your main, he's about as slow as Olvan :( You can also do the Melenam glitch with him, causing him to have max stats, which is something often done in speedruns of the game. I don't like it at all, though, so it kind of hurts him in my eyes. 2. Esuna - She's incredible. Super fast, great magic, and a great compliment to any duo. However, she lacks durability, especially early on where she's not dodging routinely. Once she's got enough of that, though, she can get insane with the buffs, and having such high speed. Not too mention instant death and healing. 1. Wilme - He's super fast and super strong, and in the JP version he is NAKED. His hair is also a horn in that version. His only real weakness is his low magic stat, but generally his speed makes up for it. I've never felt bad about using him. My first playthrough of the game was done with a Wilme / Lux team, and the only snag I ran into was that Esuna was the one who stole/obtained that one rune. So once I found her, Wilme was in for quite the pitched battle, against someone as fast as him, with a strength that exploits his weakness. Not too mention the Eldenard Stats. In the end, like FF1, the tier list is mostly useless though, unless you're doing some sort of challenge run or restricting item use or something. And in those cases, the line up of tiers would also change, so it's kind of whatever. Any character can beat the game, some just do it better for most of it, than others.

    What a fun video for one of my favourite RPG! I think my ranking would be from worst to best: Lejes, Olvan, Kamil, Lux, Wilme, Esuna, Valsu. Speed is one of the most important factors because with enough of it, enemies will miss you and you will hit them , which really adds up over time. That is why Wilme is hugely powerful in my opinion. I will always have a soft spot for Olvan; he was my very first character/playthrough! I think Valsu edges out Esuna in my ranking because of his super healing and getting the Agility spell. He is less balanced that Esuna as a magic user. I loved listening to Lux clanking after I got used to it, but remember being a bit shocked when I realised it would last the whole game!

I was never taught how to play these kinds of games or how to "get into them" so it was a lot of words and more experiencing the world from the perspective of something like a baby than actually playing the game. I got quite frustrated and if I remember right, even replaying it on emulator much later I still only ever got to some coastal town and never even got a single Rune. My friend did however, beat the game as a "family" with his older brother and his Dad(who slapped the game silly as a Wizardry player) giving him tips, so... yep, I'm coping.

    Lejes should be #5. He basically has all the offensive spells, and his attack is pretty much on par with Kamil. He doesn't have buffs, but that's basically almost a non-factor once you get the star and moon runes. Besides B Pwr and B protect are pretty cheap and I always buy those. He also has good Spd so he doesn't miss as much as Kamil / Olvan and dodges more often. He doesn't have the highest Magic stat, but having access to all the offensive magics make him good against regular enemies. In boss fights, Star / Moon rune using def / atk pretty much is enough to win em all.

    Lux and Wilme are the simplest however Wilme easily gets killed by fire magic so maybe pick Lux for the absolute easiest time. As Partners Valsu and Lejes are pretty good. As your main character : Lux Wilme Esuna Olvan Valsus Lejes Kamil Only Kamil really sucks and Lejes is pretty fragile As partners Lejes Valsu Lux Olvan Esuna Wilme Kamil Olvan has two bonus dungeons if you take him as partner too if you want to get side quests.

    I feel bad for Lejes. He was my favorite in concept and design, but I can't disagree with his bottom ranking. You'd think full access to two elements and an average attack rating would count for something, but no. With only two party members, you really need characters that excel in different aspects. Lejes, just doesn't. No wonder I only ever beat the game with Esuna (paired with Kamil) and Valsu (paired with Lux). I was playing on easy mode the whole time... I shall return my True Gamer card in shame now.

    I settled on Lux back when it came out because he was the only character not to get one shotted early on. Kamil was boring to me, Olvan a bit better. Lejes and Wilne were the most fun. Btw; 7th Saga's character and monster stats were all screwed up in the localisation from Elnard to this game. In Elnard, they were actually like the game manual describes.

    I would play it with the mod to rebalance the game back to its Japanese stat gains for the characters. When 7th Saga was being ported to the US, they decided to artificially lengthen the game by reducing the stat gains upon level up, thus forcing the player to gain more levels to advance. However, that's not the worst of it. For the enemy apprentices, they kept the original Japanese leveling rate, and since you fight enemy apprentices at the same level as your current level, you are at an increasingly steep disadvantage the higher your level since only you got nerfed.

    I'd swap out Kamil for Lejes, but otherwise I agree with the list. Kamil's do-it-all approach in a game with such tight difficulty is actually a disadvantage. He always needs a partner to buoy him late-game. Meanwhile, my first solo run was casually done with Lejes. The terrible defense only bothered me early on against enemies like Pison.

    Look out for the Japanese version, Elnard, it's actually how the game was supposed to be which was far easier, 3 bonus on level up is a character's weakest level up, with 7 being the highest. Your strenght is then on par with the npcs characters you are not playing as. In the NA version the highest stat for you on gain would be 3, 1 at the weakest, but the npc opponent characters you fight GET the 3-7 range.

    The concept of this game is awesome. 7 characters on a quest for 7 runes of power. I played the 1993 original with Kamil, Lejes, LUX and Esuna. Leveled them up to 81 each (max level... sort of...). Loved it ! A remake of this game would be awesome. They could ditch the turn-based combat for a real-time action based combat. A "soulsborne" type of combat would be perfect.

    I actually loved every character for their simple yet unique approach to the game. Unlike today's games where every character can do everything. I personally had Valsu as #1 because he's got the most OP skill in the game and can't be killed. He can be paired with literally anyone because every other character has some sort of hard hitting ability, while, if you use any other character as a main, you're probably looking for Valsu as your main companion. Vaslu established to me how important healers are long before MMOs were even thought about.
