==Analysis==
Fayt is the main character of ''Star Ocean 3'', though in the beginning, he is not well-rounded for the role. His physical techniques such as ''Blade of Fury'' and ''Side Kick'' (which has invincibility time) are good, but only hit a few times; the majority of his magic techniques are elemental enchantments. His main weakness is that he possesses very few MP-damaging attacks, making him inadequate for bosses with a shortage of MP.

Later in the game, Fayt will acquire his ''Air Raid'' and ''Dimension Door'' battle skills. The ''Air Raid'' is a fast, multi-hit sword slash, comparable to many of Cliff and Nel's battle skills in terms of damage. Fayt's ''Dimension Door'' is the most useful area attack in the game. It has a large circular radius(making it great for crowd control), it stops the enemy's movement, it can cause paralysis, it can be held for multiple hits and its final hit is a powerful vanishing horizontal slash that does multiple times Fayt's normal attack damage.

==Analysis==
In the hands of an expert, Fayt is unstoppable. He has the highest natural defense rating in the game. It is possible to build him up (with the ''Divine Avenger'' or ''Levantine'' sword and 7x ''Boots of Prowess'') to the point in which no enemy can damage him, including the super bosses Lenneth and Freya. (This dependent on which difficulty level you are playing on.)
Fayt is the main character of ''Star Ocean 3'', yet he is not well-rounded for the role. His physical techniques are few and far between, with only a few that hit multiple times; the majority of his magic techniques are elemental enchantments. He has very few MP-damaging attacks, making him inadequate for bosses with a shortage of MP.


As far as the storyline goes, Fayt is a very skilled swordsman, though the game strongly hints that [Cliff Fittir], [Nel Zelpher], [Albel Nox] and [Mirage Koas] are much more talented fighters than he is. However, Fayt did defeat Albel in the game's canon storyline. It is possible that Fayt's fighting skills progressed significantly throughout the game.

With Fayt's "Destruction" gene, he possesses god-like powers. He easily destroyed a Vendeeni Starship by using his Ethereal Blast. Later in the game, the Ethereal Blast can be acquired, and it is the most powerful battle skill in the game. Because of this, Fayt is quite possibly the most powerful human character in the Star Ocean Universe, including characters in [Valkyrie Profile], [Radiata Stories] and the loosely connected "Tales of" series.
With the "Destruction" gene, Fayt possesses god-like powers. He was able to destroy a city-sized Vendeeni Starship by using a single ''Ethereal Blast''. Later on, the ''Ethereal Blast'' can be acquired, and it is one of the most powerful battle skills in the game. With full control of his abilities, Fayt is quite possibly the most powerful human character in the Star Ocean Universe, including characters in [[Valkyrie Profile]], [[Radiata Stories]] and the loosely connected [[Wolf Team]] games such as the {{c|Tales}} series.
