This is the innapropriate forum, I'm pretty sure you didn't use the search option because your are new here, If you didn't please use it the next time you will create a topic.

Because this is about more than one game on Square so it should go in the section called: «General Squenix Gaming».

This includes playable and non-playable characters smile.gif

I know a lot of people may hate me for this (ffx blasters)
but
I loved Lulu
her personality is just so funny
one of the few believable characters in FFX
and her outfit is just. Oh my days!!!!

I'll probably think of others
but for now
Lulu tops it X)

Make that two people for Celes; her character development was really fun to watch. Her personality is very interesting...you know, she's not just one of those flat characters.

i would like to make that three. she has more depth than any other FF character. and since FFVI's main selling point is its story, and Celes is one of the main components of that story.

but i love Sabin. my entire motivation for coming up with sequels is because of him. i have always felt defensive over him. while the Sabin in my personal fanfic is very different, Sabin is still my fav.

This is a hard choice for me.
First of all, due to the inherent awesomeness of anything even remotely dragoon, with Kain taking the medal in this category for additional badassery.
Second, I adore the series' womanizers (as I find some of their clumsier attempts to court girls reminiscent of real life ;P ), with Edge taking place not only as my favourite womanizer, but also my favourite FF4 character (somehow, he gets character development, who woul have thought of that?).
Third, any character from FF6 is solid gold. ANY. Locke and Setzer stole my heart here, both tragic heroes in a similiar way and both struggling to overcome their tragedy.
Then, there's the Cids. FF2 set the classic "badass engineer" archetype (although giving him some knightly behaviour due to his backstory) and also one of my favourites, unrivaled until FF12's antagonist Cid (One of my favourite characters in his game). FF4 and FF7 follow the archetype, adding a foul mouth and a good deal of recklessness.
12 itself also has Balthier, who, probably mostly due to reminding me of a more gentlemanly Han Solo, wins my heart.
So seriously, I have a hard time deciding.

Soooooo hard. Ask me on any given day and my response might be different, but for now I actually think I must say Balthier. He's a cool/bada** "leading-man" with good voice acting, a nice design, good development, and great dialogue.

Other contenders include(ed) Celes, Kefka, Vivi, Garnet (remarkable transformation, imho), White Mage (FF), Rinoa (so sue me), Irvine, Ashe, Ramza, Alma, Rosa, Kain, and/or Moogles in general.

EDIT: Also Locke, Setzer, Edgar, Edward (FFIV)

Any Ninja. I cant get enough of them XD itd probably have to Amarant. But there are so many characters to choose from and theyre all pretty much awesome! With a few exceptions.

But Yeah, probably out of Amarant, Freya, Celes, Umaro, or Cid

Faris!

The only character to start the game as a dude, and end up a chick. All the while bringing other peoples questions about their sexuality to the forefront. tongue.gif

Also, with the FFV job system, she can be a Priate-Ninja. So for all the people asking the age old question of either Pirate OR Ninja, I say both. Take that, suckas! biggrin.gif

This is where I get either ignored or blasted, but I have to go with Cloud. Big freakin' sword, amnesia, mercenary. I love it. And I wasn't an anime fan before I played it so I don't fall into the "liking anyone with spiky hair" stereotype that I read awhile back. I just thought he was cool and still do. I still play VII every so often and I still love it. Unfortunately, I've played so many times I don't have the feeling of discovery and wonder I had before, but oh well. And it's graphics were crap, so I certainly wasn't playing it for those.

Tellah. I'm not really sure why, but I've always liked him. His revenge against Golbez is a nice part of the story, IMO.

I also like Cid(FFIII and IV), Shadow, Palom & Porom etc but Tellah is probably my biggest favourite.

I stand by what I posted in the past thread that was previously posted. I would go so far as to say that Ramza and Laguna are my favorite video game characters of all time. Selfless, caring, and humanly-flawed characters that put others' needs over their own deserves a lot of recognition.I think I like them more than anybody becuase I see a lot of my personality in those two beloved heroes.

Kain, Bartz, Edgar, Cloud, Reno, and Zidane.

They all stole my heart. I'm all over the board, I don't think there's anything in common with them except for their coolness.

I would have to say my favorite NPC would be General Leo Christophe. I admired how he treated everyone as fellow human beings, including his enemies. When he was first introduced outside of Doma, he struck me as a very honourable person, and this image just stuck.

As for playable characters, my favorite would have to be either Cecil Harvey or Kain Highwind. I sympathized with Cecil right off the bat, when he questioned the orders of the king. He also showed great character as he scaled Mt. Ordeals so that he could rid himself of the darkness and become a Paladin.
Kain, on the other hand, came to be enslaved by the darkness inside of him, and his multiple betrayals added great twists to the storyline. I also admire him for breaking through the darkness and assisting with the destruction of Zemus/Zeromus.

he is great. to me hes an honorary member of the FFVI Team. but since u said him, i dont want to steal ur answer.

my other favorite NPC has always been Banon. i read the Game Informer article on the best video game politicians, and i was like, "wheres Banon?" i guess ive always been interested in politics and gov't, and i also like the idea of a small group of rebels fighting aginst an evil empire, so thats why i like him so much.

I would rather list my favorite character from each game because the character from one game to another tend to have diffrent aspects that if they were in one of the other games they would be diffrent.
anyways
FF1 fighter
FF2 Josef
FF3 not quite sure because I have not played much of it
FF4 cecil the paladin
FF5 mid (cids grandson)
FF6 Sabin
FF7 barret
FF8 Siefer
FF9 ViVi
FF10 Yunalesca
