Sorry. in chies box, that was tomoe ^_^, cursed my dreaded hands.

As much as I hate Yosuke as a character, I can't deny that he's the ultimate "utility" party member.  Great wind magic, good strength, HP and agility, and generally has a little bit of everything (physical skills, healing, hit/evasion buffs, Dekaja, Tentarafoo).  Everyone else has too specialized of roles to be considered "the most useful."  Naoto is pretty versatile, too, but there are plenty of situations where physical, light, and dark spells are worthless, and almighty spells would just be a waste of SP.  You can probably find a good use for Yosuke in just about any situation.

Yosuke is the most versatile, and has incredible agility and magic to boot.  If Yukiko or Teddy didn't keep their weakness after rank 10 I may have chosen one of them, but I gotta say Yosuke.

Well at the end of the game when you find out Nanako was the real killer and her Persona Unlocks for your second playthrough it's pretty damn cool.

yeah her persona is badass. It can be considered better than Izanagi No Okami "

Chie or Yosuke for me, but I picked Yosuke since Chie doesn't really become great until nearer the end of the game when you have Power Charge, God's Hand, and Agneyastra. High Counter is pretty cool too. But Yosuke learns more sooner, and though he lacks Power Charge, he gets a strong physical attack and strong magic attacks. Matarakuja is useful too.

Yukiko or Naoto. :D

" Definitely Yukiko for me. As useful as Yosuke and Chie turned out to be, there's no way I would enter a dungeon without Yukiko. Her healing magic - and her super powerful fire magic, once you stack fire boost and fire amp near the end of the game - are suuuuper useful. "

you like Yukiko but your main picture is Chie... not weird... just confusing by the picture i thought you'd like Chie.. you can't judge someone by their internet icon &^_^ "

definitely yukiko as i had her in my party the whole time due to her being the main healer of the game

It's Yosuke in my mind, as his utility is a hell of a lot better than anyone else. Hits like a truck with his wind/physical stuff, has Dekaja and Tentarafoo, can off-heal if needed, etc. I'd stick one of the healers behind him.

I found Teddie the best, he's got pretty hard-hitting ice, healing, and the best part the buffs.

Yosuke. His agility made him pretty much the only party member whose turn I ever got around to. Plus he's a cool character and has great Wind Magic and Physical. Yukiko's just too flimsy in my opinion.

All characters are good in there own way. In end game boss battles Chie is the best, for she can deal out mad amounts of damage.   Yosuke and 
Yukiko were the two characters that stayed constantly good throughout the whole game.

yukiko is definetly the most valuable asset to the team

Is anyone gonna speak up for Kanji here?  I want to like him, but making him effective has been quite a pain... he burns out on SP super fast, and when the enemies null/repel/drain physical attacks, he's relegated to "item bitch."  I will say that I've never seen him get KO'd once, even after 100 hours...
