So I read this article today on IGN about The Best Characters from the Final Fantasy series, and thought, "Oooo! I know people who can legitimately talk on this subject and it won't get fan girl/boyish at all!" And then I thought about how nice it would be to have a mature conversation on the internet, and said to myself, "Man, I love those guys." And so here I am! I'll post up what they think.

Please note: I reckon they deliberately kept out Main Characters. They did do villains and heroes alike, but conveniently left out Sephiroth. Perhaps because they wanted to start a flame war. IGN is like the troll of internet magazines, after all! So here's their list. Minus the reasons. (You can find the original article here; if you're interested in their reasons and such.)

FFIV
Edward
Golbez
Porom and Palom
Tellah

FFV
Faris

FFVI
Celes
Edgar
Kefka
Locke
Ultros

FFVII
Cid Highwind
Tifa
Vincent

FFVIII
Laguna
Quistis

FFIX
Vivi

FFX
Auron

FFXII
Ashe
Basch

FFXIII
Lightning




I'm not content with this list. But I won't add anything except, that at least they got two things right: Kefka and Vivi. No list could be complete without them on it. Pure and simple. After someone comments, then I'll give my further thoughts on the matter. Make up your own list too. Try and keep mains out, maybe? Just to keep it harder. hehe

(Sorry, Jeeves! I'll come up with a topic you can comment on later.)

They've got Ultros up there? Alright, good.

This concludes my input on the topic.

I agree with FFV, FFVI for the most part, half of FFVIII, FFIX, and FFX (needs Lulu though). A lot of clutter in those.

My (lazy) list would look something like: Rydia, Faris, Celes, Ultros, Laguna, Vivi, Auron, Lulu, Balthier, Fran. I would have a crazier list if I was listing favorite character designs.
