Machinist Recommended Party Members

Party Member Reason for Recommending
BalthierBalthier The default character class for Balthier--based on his in-game model--is the Machinist class. The Machinist class grants characters access to guns and positive buff-granting measures. Balthier is actually a very strong character to assign to the Machinist class, what with his affinity for making heavy combos. In every playthrough, it is almost automatic for Balthier to be assigned the Machinist class as either his First or Second License job.
FranFran Fran, as a 'Swiss knife' type of character, would fit right into the Machinist class, although she wouldn't be the most powerful one in the game. However, her default accuracy and speed as a viera would serve her well in sliding into the role of the Machinist. Couple that with access to the different measures in the game, and Fran wouldn't even need all those spells to cast supporting buffs to other characters in the player's party.
