^ I once fought Abyssion with me as Raine, a ten-year-old as Lloyd, and a seven-year-old as Genis. Our computer was Sheena.
... ToS is a great game... it's really fun single, but I have to say that playing with a group full of people at once is AWESOMELY FANTASTICALLY UBERNESS FUN. It's INSANITY... with everyone shouting out battle cries and trying not to cuss in front of the children. XD
... wait.
Abyss has two-player?? SRSLY??!!
That is awesome. I need to go find my sister now...
...yes, one reason I really liked the whole Tear/Luke scenario was the situation was REVERSED. No damsel in distress... she's a kickass soldier, while Luke is the ignorant whiny brat. (Well, the ignorance isn't his fault... but still.)
Oh, and not to mention that
Spoiler Below THIS HAPPENS AT THE GAME'S VERY END SO IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T READ
Tear actually ADMITS that she loves Luke. That's really rare in games, and I really like it for some reasons. Obviously her feelings must be really strong for a tough woman like herself to admit that.

...Colette can be EXTREMELY annoying and defenseless at times, but you do have to admit that she's strong. She can be obnoxious, but she also can be adorable-sometimes-and also quite strong internally. (The same cannot be said about her exterior without Angel techniques. ZOMG LETS THROW OUR FRISBEE AT THE ENEMY AND SEE IF THEY DIE!!!1!111)
