How do you like to build your main character in games?

How do you like to build your main character in games?
I like to have long range attacks like geomancy in ff tactics.

Tricksy support types that can deal decent damage too.

I hate missing out on dialogue options and observation checks and similar stuff so I make the MC the party face with high mental stats and speech/diplomacy/whatever

bump

Magic Knight. That way, I won't get screwed when there's a need to fight physically or with magic

Depends what they're good at. Ramza here has a number of unique properties:
>both male and female stats (ie good PA and MA growths)
>cannot leave the party for having too high Faith (useful) or too low Brave (use a throwaway unit for finding items, this would be a waste)
>access to Scream

His Squire magic growth is also unnoticably better than most classes but who cares. Anyway, he makes a good caster of Faith-using spells, which include most magic descended from Chemist but not some other forms of magic like Samurai and Geomancer. He would have decent MA to use with those anyway, though.

Ramza can also be made to abuse the hell out of Scream, which boosts your PA, MA, SP and Brave. He will grow quadratically due to escalating SP increasing the rate of growth over time and PA can be used as its own weapon multiplier if you choose to go unarmed, which is another quadratic growth Scream could abuse even more - every Scream increases damage more than the one before. This method is often players' go to but it takes a while and will powerlevel the SHIT out of him in a way your other units can't keep up with.

In short I prefer caster Ramza. It's less swingy and plays better for the party.

I like whips

either full talky who has to survive by the skin of their teeth in any combat, or full strength chad dumping everything but raw damage

>yes now instead of a good physical attacker or a good magic attacker you have someone that's mediocre at both

I like evade tanks, but there are so few games where I can build like this. I love oracles in tactics though
