While it's very close, I had to take Rosa. When I first played IV for the SNES in the early 90s, I actually felt like I needed to save her. I felt the relationship between her and Cecil was that well done. However, Rydia is pretty cool herself. Her abilities are second to none, she suffers quite a plight throughout the game. My vote goes to Rosa, however, probably simply because of her status as the game's main heroine. Weak, but I guess that's my reasoning.

...Porom repeatedly hit Palom over the head when he was rude...
That has to give some points...

That is something to laugh about.

I'd pick... don't know, the problem is the three are mages and I do like my mages.

Haha! Wow! This thread is kind of old.. I'm really surprised to find that I hadn't voted in it. So I thought for awhile and I had to give Rydia my vote. I just really love her character and her physical design. She was really earthy and made such an amazing vision of a summoner, to me. As a kid I imagined her really being in touch with the earth and drawing massive spiritual power from it.

Though I will say, in battle she could be frustrating to have, especially at first, having such low HP. I felt that Rosa was a more useful character for the most part. We all know you can't make it through the game without a good white mage.

Gonna be boring and go with Rydia, even though I do think she's a pretty overrated character.

I never liked Rosa, and Porom never really made an impression on me.

U voted for Rydia cause Rosa is like a stereotype girl always saying "Oh please save me" but Rydia is a strong girl (even if she has low hp) and Porom I don't know I just wouldn't pick her

This is a case in which I will say screw political correctness.

I chose Rydia because I always found her adult form sexually exciting. She doesn't do anything particularly overt, but Rosa always struck me as too much of a goody-two-shoes. Rydia is dangerous, mysterious, and above all, passionate and strong-willed.

She's hot stuff, and I don't care who hears me say it.

I was never fond of Rosa when I was younger, but in later years and attempts to play, I found her to be an amazingly strong woman in her own right. one she gets past he r nigh on blind love for Cecil and comes to terms with it,, she develops an emotional strength not often seen in modern female leads. One also has to take into account that during her captivity there is a large chance that she had been raped at tortured, which yes, I know isn't something we want to think about, but in order to keep Cecil going, they must had to do something to her short of crucifying her, I love this lady!

Coming back from that ordeal shows as strength we have only since seen in Terra Branford who came back from hell with a lack of her memory and a hidden ferocity

Rydia always has been one of my favorite characters due to the changes that come over her throughout the story. Her forgiveness of Cecil in the end shows a kinder ha=art than many and a strength beyond most. Coming to terms with her mother's death y choice and not demand worked wonders for her in the later game. Although, I think we can all agree in her hair being freay as all get out in the DS version. *Shudder* I've seen some good cosplays of her though.

Prom will forever hold a special place in my heart as she was the perfect sister in my opinion, keeping her brother in line while remaining spiritual and not afraid to leave the temple and adventure the world. Heaven bless her little pixel soul.

It is a hard choice for me. I like Rosa because I like her gentleness, but Rydia is more useful to me as a PC. And Porom... you gotta love Porom. I think of all of them, though, I would have to say Rydia is my favorite, even if she is a little overrated.

Edit

Hmm, you know, actually, in the course of the last few months, Rosa has grown on me. A lot. I think that now that I am a little older, I would put Rosa on top any day. She is so much stronger than Rydia; I mean, Rydia is strong too, but comparing her to Rosa is like comparing Eowyn to Arwen. Rydia is a great character in her own right, but she's got nothing on Rosa. Except possibly magic. She has better magic.

Solid necro work there, Spooniest.

This is a great question, because each of the three ladies here represent a distinctly different type of personality. Porom is entertaining, snarky, etc. Rosa, though not perhaps strong on the battlefield, strikes one as a strong and balanced individual, the kind one would expect in a long-term relationship, supportive yet not naive. Rydia is mysterious, powerful but uncertain: even once grown, you still feel she's young.

So, to be honest, I don't really have a favorite of the three; my prefered varies depending on what sort of mood I'm in.
