Topic: Give me an oddball team in FF Tactics!

So last time I went through Tactics I had a grossly overpowered team. Ramza was a monk using two-sword and I had all the special chars that viciously destroyed everything in sight. So this time I shall go through with a more oddball team if you can find me one to do! Other options are good themes to go with. The best one will win a shiny prize.*

*Shiny prize is me beating the game with your party.

Try an all-monster team via Mediator skills.
A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

I sense horendous pain in my future. I shall try it though if no one else gives me a better idea! Getting a Red Chocobo as soon as possible is a must though. Those things can lay the smack down.

Luckily, thanks to the ways abilities work, there are dozens of fun themes one can run. My personal favorite, that I did last time through the game, was to make sure that *everyone*, even the white mage, had some level of dragoon's jump ability. I loved just leaping up with everyone. When the entire horde of characters would vanish, it really seemed to confuse the poor opposing AI. So, not overpowered, but a lot of fun.

And there's of course the ever-popular final fantasy all-black mage or all white mage parties. I'm not sure how well that would work in tactics in particular, though.

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Black Mage Jumping Party!

An all Black Mage party could probably work though. Have 2 people subbed as Chemists for healing. Probably one BM/WM for the joys of Holy. Everyone else subbed time mage for the half count probably.

Theives with guns.

Consider them to be muggers from the bad part of Ivalice.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Palador has just won the thread I think. I shall start that party now! Keep the suggestions flowing though. Can always restart if something better comes up.

Probably would have to be Chocobos and possibly the Skel thing for a long time.

Edit: I still can go either direction with my party at this point, but how does steal work exactly? Is it just random with some modifiers or based off of brave?
