Pretty self-explanitory
Use any criteria you want
I excluded FF1-3 because there's little story involved, and No Story = No personalities
For FF6 (I hope I'm needlessly explaining this) Terra is main for WoB and Celes is main for WoR, so 2

I'd have to say Cecil.  I mean it's the thing about redeeming himself.  I have to say it, because he rocked.  He brought up the questioning of authority to me.  THat is essencial to being a teenager!

I laugh at Benjamin!  What a loser!

But my fav hero would be Fei from Xenogears, it's not FF, but he was one of the best written characters ever.  If you have patience, play Xenogears, you'll never regret it.

So if you're done reading this, you know I have nothing to say and you've wasted your time. Thank you come again.

I had to vote Cloud on this one. He had to struggle through his past and old memories (like in every game), but I dont know. I just liked him.

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

Nomatter how many games come out, I will ALWAYS find Terra the most interesting. She is just so cute.


Though if I had to pick a runner up, it'd be Cloud because I like his personality.

WHAT?!?!?!
Where's the FF2 team?!?!? ARGHHHH!!!!!!! I loved FF2's "collective lead' (Frioniel, Maria and Guy, especially Guy)
The only part with null personality was 1, and that was only counting for the LightWarriors. Sheeeeeeeeesh.......
From among these I vote none......or just won't tell you what I voted... *throws darts at picture of DarkPaladin*

I chose Cloud cos he rocks. + he has my fav wep of all time BUSTER SWORD.

Any and all who opose the Excalibur will be smited

It was a tough choice between Ramza and Cloud, but in the end, Cloud ended up on top.

--------------------

*END TRANSMISSION*

I love Cecil and I love FFIV. I voted for him. A VERY close second is my favorite female FF character, Celes of FFVI.

--------------------

kame, tortue, tortuga, schildkröte, tartaruga, turtle

"Arthur Dent?"
"Yes."
"Arthur Philip Dent?"
"Yes."
"You're a total knee biter."

I've never been a big fan of Final Fantasy main characters, as they're usually the most one-dimensional of the lot, despite their position.

Nonetheless, I've always loved Terra.  She had a great personality and a good deal of inner conflict, and in the end she really developed as a character.  Not to mention her spells were crazy powerful, and she had neat green hair.

Second place goes to Ramza.

I voted for Ramza because he was the most likeable of the bunch.  Although he was the warrior of justice, there was an obvious path available to him that he could've taken that would've been much easier.  He was so much more well-developed than all of the other main characters that I can't help but like him the best.

And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild

I too voted for Ramza, just cause neither Kain and Locke were on the list. There was just something about him that was likeable. Plus, he was basically considered the black sheep of the family yet he was the only saved the world.

heh, Kain should have been the main char in FF4, that woulda been interesting. I voted ramza just cuz i like playing through his war career, i also have lack of sleep right now so dont get mad if im not makin any sense

I'd have to disagree. With FFII, there was quite a bit of plot. Your characters had names and personality. They were already assigned a class (so began the tradition of 'fixed' characters in even number FF, and 'pick your class' characters for odd number FF that was broken with FFVII). You're right when you say FFI and FFIII didn't have much character depth. But FFII did have a story and characters to match it. In my book, FFII was the first 'real' FF.

"Arthur Dent?"
"Yes."
"Arthur Philip Dent?"
"Yes."

I went for Zidane cause I'll never change my opinion that FFVI doesn't really have a main character, though I do like Terra the most.

Zidane is kind of a guilty pleasure you might say.  He's of the 'goody two-shoes' variety of hero which makes him fairly one-demensional.  But he had so much energy that it didn't really matter to me, I just found him to be a very fun kinda character.  That kinda describes the game too, simple but fun.

Farts

Ramza, baby. He was about the only character in the series, besides Celes, who had a believable storyline.

Celes was grand.  She had great character, with all the tragedy (I always killed off Cid in the WoR, for story purposes) and redemption and such.  Plus she was the most well-rounded character in FF6.

I haven't played enough of FFT, and right now Ramza is just clueless so I don't like him.  Terra was a little annoying really, with her constant "what is love?" pining, turn on some Haddaway, jeez.  And Cloud was too inconsistent, sometimes being a jerk, other times being a hero-guy.  I dunno, not a huge fan.

I always like Celes.  Her story is cool.  My vote goes to her

I voted for Squall even if he is a B***h cause i think he is cool

I'm voting Cecil..

lol @ benjamin

Cloud!! I think he's the best main char.I think he has the best story of them all and he looks cool,not to mention his kick-ass swords

How could anyone not vote for cloud?  It was he who got me interested into the Final Fantasy universe.  It is he who is, and will forever remain, the best main character of any and all games existent in the FF Series.

I would go for Zidane.
since he had a cool character.

Wow... I'm the only one who went with Tidus.


I loved Tidus.  His in your face attitude.  How he reacted with the other charecters.  His passion in what he did.  Never giving up.  And in the end..

SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:

When it came down to destroying Sin, and the fact that he knew he'd disappear once he did, he did it anyway.  He did it for everyone else.  He gave it all up.  How mad he was at his father for becomming Sin, and the emotions he had to go through in order to kill him.

Tidus was my favorite... followed shortly by Cecil.

I disagree with your choices for lead character I think the lead character for FF6 is an all out tie.  I think every character is pretty much as involved as the other characters.  The only way their not is if you don't put them in your party.  Though with the choices you gave me I voted for Terra but now after thinking about Terra was just a whiner about love.  I like Celes much better.

I liked Zidane. He was just sort of a fun character to have around.

I voted for Benjamin, because he can jump at the press of a button, and does a little dance whenever he wakes up.

And, of course, optimism is the greatest quality a hero can have.

No deer for a month.

Zidane got my vote. He was just such a fun character!

Close call, but I voted for Ramza, just a step ahead of Jidane (that's his name in France, for obvious reasons to anyone who knows european soccer). They both are believable characters, with altruistic goals, but I too think that being the black sheep of the Beoulves is a cool thing for a leading character. Plus Ramza is the main character that has the largest family of all the FF (two brothers, a sister, and a father that is none other than a Heavenly Knight).

Meh, I voted Benjamin, cause he was funny, and everyone says he was stupid, i decided to be different, but no doubt, Janus(Magus to those who've not realized(CT) is defintly the best character ever; followed by Setzer, Gogo, Umaro, and Mog; then Crono; then Shadow; then Glenn(Frog(CT); and then Cecil, with Edge close behind; and Ness nearby, and Poo next to Ness. I didn't like FFX much it was weird. and good point wheatsac, i didn't like Terra's whining..."I think i understand what you meant General Leo..."---Terra WoR, wandering the Falcon...how dumb of a phrase is that?!Celes was better...but yeh, so many characters, they were all the main basically, yeh the story focused on one more then others at a point, but...so what? they all had to be there(minus one) at the end of the game to beat the crap outta Kefka, right?! YEH I THOUGHT SO!!! but yeah...I'm done with my rants...except for: FFIX was so stupid, semi-anthromorphs in a FF game, so lame! stick to human beings Square!!!

(I did not use it as an insult, it was merely a statement meaning nothing, therefore I have changed it.)
