Favorite Final Fantasy Hero

Post Reply New Topic

Ok, since we have a villian thread, I thought we should make a hero thread...

disclaimer: I haven't played any of the games before 7, so I don't know any of the heroes (thats why I put "other" on the top)

Also, since Tidus was too whiny to be considered a hero (a rare feat among a group of FF heroes), he gets disqualified and Auron takes his place representing FF10...

My favorites are Celes and Edgar.

I'd vote for Tina fro FFVI.

I've played a good chunk of XII, finished VII, nearly finished X (nearly finished it twice - but never actually finished!), and am presently near the end of VIII. Keeping in mind that it's been a while since I played 10 and 12, I would have to say Squall. I really like him as a character, though he softens up a bit too much at times - when trying to get Rinoa back, for example. I also don't enjoy how he's pushed into the spotlight as the 'leader' at times. Cloud in FF7 had the excuse of being ex-SOLDIER (well...); Squall is just a SeeD like any other, except for his use of the gunblade and his talent. The latter's great, but when combined with his uncaring attitude it doesn't make for the most charismatic and likely leader.

But Squall's personality, otherwise? Love it - especially that whole uncaring thing I mentioned earlier. Even though it's humorous how he's pushed into these leadership roles he doesn't want, it's still not the most realistic use of plot device.

Well, wasn't there someone who said "Great leaders do not seek power, they have power thrust upon them"?

One other thing that gives points for squall is that he was definitely an aspie. What other type of person would respond to a chick blatantly hitting on him with "...whatever"?

Hey, Tidus is my favorite! (Just kidding, though I kind of do like him)

My favorites are:

1. Cecil (FFIV)
2. Auron (FFX)
3. Squall (FFVIII)
4. Celes (FFVI)

I'd prefer Terra from Final Fantasy VI. Squall and Balthier (he always claimed to be the leading man) come second.

I second Terra. I always liked the character sprites in FFVI.

I kinda like Bartz from FF5. It's fun to watch any conversation he has with the turtle sage (Ghido, or whatever his name is). Terra's good too, though I never really got very far into 6...

Squall's my favorite. He's got a great look and his personality is very similar to my own. Not to mention the gunblade is my favorite personal FF weapon.

Anyway, I don't know who my favorite FF hero is, but Auron is pretty cool.

I kinda like Terra from FFVI too. Not too many female main heroines in FF?

Other. Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Even though he's not from Final Fantasy, his franchise is a cross-over between Walt Disney & Final Fantasy, 7 since he doesn't come from either Disney or FF, just from the cross-over franchise itself, KH, I guess he can count as an FF character AND a Disney character............kinda.
