Sorry i didnt get everyone but it was a ten minimum so i put the people you have the longest i think the only people missing are palom porom edward and young rydia I personally like Kain, he may not haev any magic abilities but he doesnt need them, hell he doesnt even need fight. all he needs are jump and item not to mention hes the first left handed rpg char i ever saw. he is the most needed char in the game. for instance when your fighting odin and bahamut. can't kill em quick enough? keep getting pounded after the times up well if kain's airborne when time gets up he'll stay alive! he's the reason i killed the hidden dragon!

Kain. Just, Kain.
Kain ownz. In all aspects. His attitude and personality is delicious. Yes, delicious. Everything about him is delicious. I mean, look at him. His attire just spells cool. And he's so useful in a battle it isn't even funny. His Jump is pretty much the best Jump there is. Just proves to many that white men can jump. Ha! That's pretty corny. -------------------- I find your lack of faith disturbing... |

My vote goes to Kain, the master of all Final Fantasy Lancers.
In the game, he pulled my fat out of the fryer many a time. Jump was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, assets to your party. Even without it, Kain was a formidable fighter, since his proficiency with the spear meant unending torture to all my opponents. He was also one of the most well developed characters in the game.
Kain remains one of my favorite FF characters of all time. An honorable mention goes the Rydia. Who couldn't love a girl with green hair? And, although this doesn't really count, I liked Golbez. Anybody whose hand could end up besting his opponents has got to be a main contender. For the record, I also liked Palom and Porom. I mean, think about it; if they're that powerful at age 5, imagine what sort of apocalyptically omnipotent mage demigods they'll be once they grow up! It's a humbling thought. -------------------- "I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking." ~Dorothy L.

I would have chosen Golbez, then Zemus, then Yang. But since the first two are not on there, Yang has my vote.

Is this favorite, or best? I voted for Rosa, not because she's my favorite, because she isn't, but because she is the best. Wall is useful on several occasions. She has massive curative powers, and white casts quickly and should be dealing 9999 pretty quickly. Physical offense leaves something to be desired, but a heroine robe with artemis bow and arrows still does a pretty decent amount. She also has berserk to help out the fighters.
Next useful is Cecil. He has high defense and physical offense, and can do minor healing between battles if needed. He's solid, but it's not like you do much more than poundo on the fight button. Rydia is third. The fact that spells have charge times here is a downfall, as well as the fact that her wisdom is much lower than Rosa's will, making nuke do much less than holy in general. However, she has Bahamut, and mult target high damage spells. The Dragon whip does good damage to dragons, and she can paralyze enemies randomly when attacking. However, she can't take very much damage at all. 4th best is Edge. He has lots of options. He has a solid physical attack, and his last armor drastically reduceds physical damage dealt to him. He has moderate damage multi target attacks and has image, which is very useful. For bosses he can throw things for high damage. 5th best is Kain. His damage is lacking compared to Cecil, and the only thing he can really do is jump. However, if he always jumps, then you can play a 2/3 formation and keep him in the back, though he has good enough defense I rather have the enemies hit him. Jump is useful on a few occasions, Valvalis being one, Bahamut being the other, if you are too low a level to have wall. Otherwise, it's not -that- useful, especially since curing is cheap, and though he misses attacks, be misses a bunch of cure 4s as well. 6th best is Palom. He gets all the awesome spells if you bother to level him a bit -and- his wisdom rating seems to be very high. Virus and quake own if you level him a bit to get them. 7th best is Yang. He has high HP, a good attack, and a decent multi hit attack. Not particularly strategic, but he's solid, and useful while you have him, though not overly useful in any particular situation. The rest are just decent. FuSoYa has variety, but he seems very weak, and doesn't have calls, which means no Bahamut, which is the best spell for damage over time to cast. Cid is just overshadowed by Yang and Cecil. Porom can heal decently, but nothing special like Palom. Tellah has 3 good shots, and then he's useless, though I suppose he has a little more use in Hardtype, where you might get a lucky spell. Edward is decent, and gets shoddy really fast. |

Gotta give it up for Kain! He's one of the more silent types, yet his attire has badass written all over it. He has the best ability in the game (Jump), he doesnt get hit half the time, and he makes a neat evil person when his mind is twisted by Golbez. He also joins your party the most number of times, and you see him throughout the entire game!

Rydia!!!
She's the cutest Final Fantasy character, she has loads of power with her later summons, and is the reason for the best side-quests in the game!! (Realm of the summoned monsters and the fight for Bahamut.) -Phoenix This post has been edited by Phoenix on 23rd October 2019 03:32 |

1st: Â Rydia. Â Very powerful summons, and many different spells. Â It's nice to have a variety to get past resistances on some mobs.
2nd: Â Kain. Â Very cool guy, his attitude works well in the story line, and he's just plain cool. 3rd: Â Cecil-Paladin. Â He doesn't have any cool abilitys, or any of that stuff... but he's powerful. Â Who wouldn't love a guy with 600 hp at level 1? Honorable Mention: Cid.

Kain...
The man who decided to help overthrow Baron with Cecil during the burning of Mist (though that idea quickly became moot), the man whose love for Rosa and his rivalry with Cecil (and some mind control) caused him to betray his own best friend, the man who could kick Cecil's ass in Fabul, the man who left his best friend and his love so he wouldn't cause anymore trouble to them... My heart goes out to Kain. He's just awesome! And that doesn't even count Jump! |

Wow , there are quite a few characters to chose from and I seem to see that the favorite is Kain. He IS indeed a very good character to use, but all of you are forgettin thta he CAN use magic! If you use his final spear as a item in battle it casts white! But he still sucks compared to Rosa, Im sorry but my rank in order of best goes like this
1)Rosa - For aim and white magic 2)Kain - For Jump and "White" 3)Edge - Two attacks plus magic use AND he can steal AND throw weapons, low power though 4)Cecil - Has crystal sword and cover for bad times plus minor white magic 5)Rydia - Great Black magic, summons but low hp and crappy charge spell time -------------------- Sadad + Azlar = Sadazlar |

My favorite character is kain because he has the strong jump ability,yet i also hate him because for half the game he is being controlled by Golbez and you can't use him at all.
My favorite monster is probably the IMP,because they designed them so cool like. |

I wonder if FF4 meets Survivor will affect any of this voting...
Thinking of that, I voted for Edward, but now I'd kinda like to change my vote to a monster, and anyone that's watched the movies knows that the best FF4 monster is definitely Ogre. Â He's just that cool and that scary. Â But I chose Edward because I really liked the character, though he was weak, he always wanted to help the party, and did end up saving the group from the Dark Elf. He's bardtastic. -------------------- Hey, put the cellphone down for a while In the night there is something wild Can you hear it breathing?

Kain. I've lauded his numerous merits so many times. He's a great character, a powerful fighter, has one of the best special skills in the game, and just plain looks cool.
Tied for second were Golbez and Rydia. Honorable mention goes to Palom and Porom. -------------------- "I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking." ~Dorothy L.

I voted for Edward for 2 reasons.
1. Â Cid is not on the list 2. Â He's important to the balance of RPGs, he's a weakling, just because he's weak doesn't mean he still can't fight. Â It's kinda of strange...but still, he is an exception to the rule that only strong people fight to save the world or whatever... -------------------- Really Random Quote of the Day: "Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war." - Richard M.
