Umm you are doing something very wrong if Rudo is weak. Rudo is the only character besides Rolf that should be in your party as soon as you get him and never leave it. Anna and Kain are the other best two characters to have in your party, just make sure that you use all the gires items (I think one is called Amber Rose).
Phantasy Star II, one of the best RPGs ever which shows that you don't need 10000 cut-scenes to make a brilliant story.
