BNW kicks so much ass, I'd honestly rather *replay* a new game and build people differently because the experience is in the game and it's so. much. fun!

my atma weapon party this last run was vigor mog (i.e. no esper levels), magic edgar (with a healthy does of unicorn), stamina celes (with a smidge of seraph), and shadow had 5 els of phantom. definitely not optimal but it only took two tries (not counting the time i forgot to change my gear.) and i think i killed him before he reapplied his buffs.
tl;dr esper levels aren't necessary but the respec allows for more experimentation.

In my experience, Terra is probably the single hardest person to "ruin" with haphazard Esper bonuses. Vigor is obviously useful, but Magic is tied to all the Lv3 spells, HP increases her survivability in an environment where people can rapidly die, MP lets her spend more time throwing spells, and Stamina cuts into her Morph penalty while offering a stronger Fight command with the Atma/Omega Weapon.
All that said, everyone has a baseline performance that never dips into Bad. I was saving ELs on a few people waiting for specific Magicite, and they never fell behind.
EDIT: Hmm. Just because a topic is on the front page doesn't mean it's current, I imagine. Apologies if this counts as a necro.

Ahahahaha....I wish.
I did the unthinkable that playthrough and dumped Terra for Umaro. I'm pretty sure that's partially the cause for the World of Ruin, so I apologize everyone.
(Bismark + Unicorn is the bulky fighter Terra. Tritoch gives excess stamina that can't be properly leveraged.)

Presuming I figure out a way to give someone negative ELs. >_>

Honestly, having someone you truly can't over-hybridize is nice if you consider that he's forced for the FC. You can acquire him pretty dang early in the WoR, to boot.
But yeah, would've rolled more Vigor/Magic levels in the WoB for sure, particularly for characters I won't be seeing for a while and should have the money to immediately refit.
