Once a Thief

I finally finished Jeanne D'arc today and i did so without relying too much on my only tank, Rufus. The unlikely hero turned out to be another character i rarely used, the french thief Colet. You see, early on i assembled a team of mostly archers, magicians and spear users as they are able to score easy multiple enemy hits without sustaining too much counter attacks. So somehow the thief Colet just got left out as i couldn't stand his bad english and poor dagger. However i had to use him for some of the free play mission and found out he happens to be really good at evading and wasn't as weak as i initially thought. So my final assemble consists of jeanne, roger, richard, giles, cuisses, colet and rufus, i had to drop marcel my favourite archer as i realised i had little use for him against the lass boss. The sneaky colet proved to be pretty useful for the last mission as he is very mobile, quick to evade attacks and is able to pull off two to three hits in a row if you happened to have the right orbs.

All in all i took about 40 hours to finish the game, leveling up most of my characters to about 60+ level and a pretty good accomplishment for someone who doesn't indulge in RPG like myself.

Now i'm ready to tackle Rogue Galaxy !
