Rate your charcaters in order. Reason paragraph optional.
10. Amarant. I think Amarant was a good contrast to the rest of the cast. He was an interesting character, and I liked a lot of the interactions he has with the other characters. He wasn't a super important character, and the game didn't focus on him much, so he's number 10 on my list.
9. Kuja. Kuja was an interesting villain. You see him start out as a cool, composed character, in control of the situation. As the story progresses you see him deteriorate and lose some of that control. I think it was interesting to watch the character change and evolve from not being the main villain (the game starts out focusing more on Brahne as the antagonist IMO) to being the destroyer of an entire planet.
8. Eiko. What I like about Eiko is how open and honest she is with herself. She knows who she is, faults and strengths, and considering her age and what she's been through, she's a very strong character. Not many would be able to go through what she has and stay tough and positive. She could be annoying at times though.
7. Garnet. Garnet is a sweet girl and she develops well through the game. She tries hard to do what she thinks is right, even though it doesn't always work out. She is kind and cares about her friends. She had some very touching and signifigant moments in the game. I can identify with her trying to do good, but feeling helpless and hopeless at times. But even after moments of weakness, she keeps fighting for what she thinks is right.
6. Beatrix. Beatrix gets a fair amount of development in the game. I respect her confidence and strength. She worked hard to get to where she is. She has a good head on her shoulders, and questions the morality of her orders. In the end, she does what she thinks is right and protects her Queen and her Kingdom.
5. Freya. Freya's story is pretty much only present in one part of the game, and then she kind of drops off the map as far as signifigance. It's a shame, because she's an interesting character. She's similar to Beatrix in that she fights for her Kingdom. She presses forward even after Cleyra is destroyed and she finally finds her long lost love only to find out he can't remember who she is. She cares for her firends and is a good display of strength and perserverance.
4. Zidane. Zidane is the classic do-gooder upbeat hero. We see a bit more depth in the character as the game goes on. He isn't the typical knight type, he's a thief. He has no home, he just tries to find a place where he belongs. He supports his friends in his own way, and is always there for them when they need him. He had a great moment in Pandemonium when he lets his weakness get the best of him for a while, only to be picked up by his friends, like he had done for them throughout the game.
3. Steiner. The first time I played this game, I didn't like Steiner. Slowly after each playthrough though, I like him more and more. He starts off as an annoying, dweeby, stick in the mud. But as you go on, you see he has a big heart. He cares for the Princess and his friends immensly. When he finds out he was fighting for something he didn't believe in, he wasn't too prideful to admit he was wrong. He adapted and began to stand up for what he felt strongly about, and for Garnet. Despite the changes the character goes through, he still stays Steiner.
2. Quina. Quina brings a unique flavor to the game. I think s/he is a successful comedy relief, from questionning eating the Regent, to his threats of eating the enemies. He has a positive, hopeful attitude that I admire. I always found the character useful and fun to play. I always wanted to see what Quina was up to in the ATE's. Seeing what kind of situations s/he had gotten into this time.
1. Vivi. I absolutely love Vivi. I think he is the perfect example of owning your faults. He starts out unsure and unconfident and progresses into a badass black mage. He learns about the world and life through the game, and deals with it wonderfully. He stays strong while being identifiably weak at the same time. He faces his own death and goes on, head held high, fighting to make the world a better place while he's still in it. He is kind and caring to his friends and strangers, and it is a joy watching him mature and grow as the game goes on.
10. Amarant. I think Amarant was a good contrast to the rest of the cast. He was an interesting character, and I liked a lot of the interactions he has with the other characters. He wasn't a super important character, and the game didn't focus on him much, so he's number 10 on my list.
