   The strong fighter who's slow and bad at magic... every game's gotta have one, and Rico is Xenogears's. He's one of the better characters in the game, though, as his attack is extremely strong -- he can do more damage with a regular attack than most characters can with a Deathblow. The only things that keeps him from being stronger than Citan are his somewhat weaker defense (but not bad by any means), and his complete and total lack of speed. Give him a Speed Ring or Speed Ring S at all times or he'll never see any action. One slight disadvantage to Rico is that he seems to learn Deathblows slower than other people, but that doesn't really matter when even the weak ones do so much damage. Equip him with a Power Crisis and he becomes even more powerful. Yeah, his Ethers suck, but who cares? He's a great fighter, and magic is inconsequential in Xenogears anyway.
