30 minutes into Prophets of Doom . Pretty interesting . I don ' t normally listen to long podcasts . I ' m normally just a 30 min NPR program kind of guy , but this is quite captivating so far . <| sep |> Still canon tho . <| sep |> Vanille all the way , Aerith is probably the worst healer BSB aside from Penello I don ' t count Tiny Bee while Vanille BSB is one of the best Healer BSB in the game . With that out of the way we can compare bothVanille trades the unavoidable Holy Damage that ' s right , if the opponent nulls holy it ' s worthless , Mog save you if they actually absorbs it , for the amazing instant cast and a 30 % mind bump . Great panic button while boosting her mind for more potent heals . Aerith 1 st command is a curaja level heal with mind up 30 %. So pretty much a regular curaja that you already brought as an ability anyway with a very situational mind bump for anyone except her . Vanille ' s 1 st command is a 5 . 30 x 2 Holy damage that gives a nice 30 % on top . Since her mind is already boosted from entry and provides further RES down you can expect it to hit hard . Both of 2 nd commands are the same , a Cure level aoe heal . Except Vanille can go straight to the healing duty if needed , while Aerith needs to use her 1 st command on herself for you to expect any decent heals
