I've heard Spring Shoes is quite effective with the auto-haste feature?

I'm not sure, but I don't have any idea how you can put up with Vanille's constant constipation noises during battle. :\

I always found her to be more....useful than Hope as far as stats go. Don't quote me on that too much though, I'm starting to use him more now and he's a pretty awesome medic with the right stuff equipped.

Vanille has more balanced stats, but Hope has the highest magic stat in the game, which makes him an awesome Medic/Ravager/Synergist.

Vanille also doesn't get the AoE -aga spells.

Well that was the mistake I was making the first time I was going through. I also learned to love the Delta Attack and Solidarity paradigms a lot more. Before it was more Relentless Assault or Diversity and then quick switches to Combat Clinic.

I read somewhere that Fang actually turns out to be a lot better at being a Commando than she does a Sentinel, which is interesting. She does well enough for me, but I know Snow is the best one. I think he can get so OP as a Sentinel to the point where he can only take like 1 damage for any move? Something ridiculous like that.

Snow is the best sentinel, his HP becomes ridiculous.

Fang has a crazy strength stat though which, as you said, helps her be a great commando as well which I think makes her a better fit for a well rounded party. You can use Delta Attack to work up the stagger gauge to about 40% - 50%, then switch to Mystic Tower (Ravager Sentinel Ravager) to stagger. Flip to Relentless Assault to work up to about 500% damage (on the bigger guys), then flip to Commando Commando Ravager to do some crazy damage.

So yeah, Snow can be a great tank, but having someone who is a good commando is also important in a lot of fights so that's why I opted for Fang over him. Lightning is there because she's just good at everything, though perhaps not great. She's a good Ravager, a good Commando, and a good Medic.

I will be taking this into account for the future. Yay new paradigm decks!
