Ryoga ended up on a boat out at sea when trying to get to Honshu IIRC. By walking.
Zoro ain't got shit on that.

Nonsense. Ryouga kissed Akane, remember?
I don't know. I'd say entering a hallway with only two exits and coming out from neither of them comes close at least.

See, the thing is, Ryoga understands the concept of a straight line and can follow the direction someone has pointed in. I remember, once in one of his early appearances, he asked someone for directions and they pointed straight down road and said go this way and Ryoga was completely able to follow this piece of direction. He got lost cause the road turned, but he was able to both travel in a straight line and he was able to recognize the direction a person pointed at and follow that direction.
Zoro can do none of that. At all. Ryoga has a superior understanding of navigation then him due to his knowledge on those two subjects.

Zoro seems to be even worse at following directions than Ryouga, but Ryouga tends to get absurdly lost while Zoro tends to actually stay in the general area he's supposed to be in. There have been points where Ryouga ended up on different landmasses without realizing it.

[X] "I'll do what I can to help, but can you get someone else to be the familiar?"
Because I don't think we're gonna be able to ditch the setting entirely, but feel we're getting saddled with a pretty crappy deal.
By all means, try to help save the world. But honestly? We can probably do this thing without the familiar bit. We don't even get all that much out of it and ZnT is pretty damned boring compared to other settings on the table.
And people are complaining way too much about the Ranma thing. I mean personally, Ranma's welcome to Tiffania, I will absolutely delight in the suffering he will bring on himself for it. But if he did take her, I honestly don't think we're missing out. Ranma's going to be insufferable one way or another, either he makes jokes about us being a pet or it's the usual stuff.
Yeah, honestly, if we do this it'd be more fun to completely screw over the whole prophecy thing and just punt the elves over the horizon or something. Or use our utter lack of navigational ability to trick them into getting lost in the multiverse.
A win's a win.

Ryoga's ability to get lost is more like a curse than an inability to follow directions. He does everything right, but as soon as he stops keeping track he's somewhere else.
Including crossing the sea by walking and never encountering water.

So, I was doing some research to find out where that damn music box is at this point in time. From what I can tell, Joseph still has it. That is going to make adding anything to Tiffania's spell repertoire exceptionally difficult. Short of somehow convincing Sheffield to copy someone else's spells into Tiffania, invading Gallia, overthrowing Joseph, or killing him and putting Charlotte on the throne, Tiffania isn't going to be learning any more void spells. Ever. Are you guys sure you want to form a contract with the one-spell wonder?

I definitely don't. I still don't see any substantial benefit to this partnership on Ryoga's end.
Especially when "Gather all four Void users," kinda sounds a little like a poorly thought out Plan A. Maybe I'm missing something, but Saito has yet to explain why they need all four Void users and the familiars.
Also, last I checked, the familiar Ryoga would become is the walking nuke that is sacrificed for the genocide spell. My memory of this is pretty sketchy, but I remember this being a pretty baaaaaaaad deal.

That would be because Saito does not actually know. He vaguely knows something about a famine, but lacks details.
Yeah, that would be the one.
Tiffania's familiar is the one with the power to carry a Void spell and boost it's strength with their lifeforce. You don't have to die in the process unless the spell is ALSO deadly to you, and the stored spell is activated by the familiar's choice(which basically means it can't kill you unless you chose to let it). It's a Familiar of Spell Storing, and Brimir was an asshole to use it that way, it also explains his extreme guilt later, because seriously, you made one of your friends carry a suicide spell, and they were willing to go through with it.
If Tiffania learns Explosion Ryoga could store a nonlethal Explosion to use on Ranma next time

Even if that is the case, it's sounding like Tiffania isn't gonna learn anything, so that's pretty much useless.

If I'm understanding it right, wouldn't that mean Ryouga gets hit by it too?

This sounds freaking hilarious, we need to do it!

Did you miss the part where Tiffania is probably never going to learn any other Void spells?
Just saying, this is pretty damned unlikely.
Honestly, the familiar powers are so useless I don't see why we should bother.
Nope. Basically it acts as if the familiar cast it. The reason Brimir's spell killed his familiar was because it's a "Kill everything for a 200 mile radius" type spell.
