I just love playing as Aerith, has lot of buildup but with the 2 wards, the Chrono skill she is great, teleport with Ward Shift is handy and brings me memories of my Black Mage in FF14. With the radiant ward her dodge changes to this telporty-dodge which seems faster.
The combat is just so much better and more customizable than in Remake.
