Best. Force. Ever.

Fonewms are better for me, because they have much faster tech casting barehanded, which is huge offline, when trying to kill huge groups of enemies quickly

Actually, no.
Unarmed animation for males is faster, but it's not very useful offline. Why ? because you would kill faster with a weapon that boosts techs. Let's say you're using Gifoie, your unarmed animation allows you to kill faster, true, but equipping a Magical Piece (boosts Gi- techs by 30%) will allow you to kill using one less Gifoie, making the process faster in the end.

(even with her 250 extra MST, the FOnewm will always be better at nuking)

Not exactly. It is true that a FOnewm with 1500 MST will deal a little more damage with Gi- and Ra- techniques than a FOnewearl with 1750 MST, but FOnewm will always need to use the same techs as many times as FOnewearm to kill a specific monster, making his little damage bonus useless.

I think the difference is even more minor, with support/healing tech ranges.

Believe me, no. S&D range is not that useful, but R&A range is vital in tough quests. Males Forces cannot really support in tough places/areas, they either need a Resta Merge, or simply cannot do the job.

How often does EVP really work in the higher levels?

EVP kicks in once in a while in areas past Mine/GDV, like I said, a lot more useful than DFP on Forces; it's not extremely reliable, but it's very nice.

For me.. the FOnewm was easier to level then the FOnewearl.

I grant you that, FOnewearl is harder to raise.
