Now, to wait for Steiner (who's gonna be Slot 5) and, if they eventually release her in Japan, Rosa for Slot 4 (hehe!)
Balthier also has one of the best record materias which is auto-haste at the start of the battle. It could be worth throwing a bunch of growth eggs into him and using his memory crystal just to have that materia for other characters.
