if they made a final fantasy all stars who would you like to see as main character?

LOL. Wakka. *imagines Wakka as the main character*

Im not sure anyone has mentioned this but.... WHERE THE FUDGE IS SQUALL!?!!?!?!?!!?

Not here thankfully :p

Whats wrong with squall? he is the best char in ALL FF!, next to irvine and selphie (Tied in my mind)

And not to derail this thread im making this topic in the FF8 area

um. no, squall is pretty crap really. he'd be alright, but there's that completely unexplained midgame personality change.

i didnt add squall because i felt i didnt want to all the main characters on there and squall is not very entertaining and wouldnt sell as much $$$ as others as a main character...sry

glad im not the only one who thinks that...knew u guys would also agree

>>> The light warriors..

Where the hell is Sephiroth?

A poll without Sephy forces me to go with teh-Cloud-meister ;)

y is cloud doin good on this poll and not on the one where u rate him?

Instead of complaining about what is and what isn't on the poll, it's quite easy to say who you'd choose, without voting for an option that's there. A poll-maker can't really include details on things he doesn't know, and a poll can't cater to every individual's personal opinion, either. It's like if someone makes a poll on "What's your favourite food?" and then gets about a thousand replies saying "omg ur poll r da sux cuz i liek tomato w/ mustard n creem n no salt plzkthx why dont ur poll haev MY oponion?!!?!!?!?!?!?!" even though there are twenty popular choices listed on the poll options...

Anyway, in my opinion, Cloud is the best "hero" of the FF series - he overcomes genuine burdens, confronts profound horrors from his past, and makes a comeback to unite his comrades and strive toward a goal, even though he knows he mightn't succeed. He fights for altruistic purposes, as well as personal vendetta, but not because he's getting paid or because he wants mad schnoogles from a girl he travelling with. He actually cares about the world's wellbeing, and about correcting the trouble that was caused when he was used. He also never whines about his personal issues at a critical time, or treats them as being more important than the big picture. He depends on his friends, though, and and creates strong bonds of trust and support. Good qualities for a leader/hero.

However, another good "all-star" leader would be Celes Chere from FFVI (not on the poll, but do you see me raving?). She's strong and independent, idealistic and courageous, but also with a very human sense of vulnerability and guilt - qualities I admire about Cloud, too.

A fictional leader or hero shouldn't be some idealised image of perfection, in my opinion, but rather a charcter with believable flaws, and personal hurdles to overcome during their quest.

I beileve that Cecil Harvey (FFIV) could also fit this part of your description. Albiet, I cut out a line because I don't remember he technically whines about his personal troubles doing critical times. But he does overcome the burden of being a Dark Knight, confronts the profound horrors from his past (i.e. ravaging the town of Mysidia). And there is more, but at the moment I don't feel like typing. If you really want me to, I will though.

Not having really played FF4-6, the 'all-star hero' is Cloud in my opinion. I share the views that you have on Cloud - not once can I remember him whinging or complaining about the massive job at hand which is a quality of a true leader.

Yep, Cecil sure did a great turnaround... but but as far as aI can tell, he (SPOILER)wasn't as much of a 'victim' of his past as Cloud was. Cecil, it seems, chose to be a Dark Knight and a killer because the King wanted him to, whereas Cloud was manipulated, used and abused by more powerful forces. For some reason, that alters my opinion of the characters. But then, I really need to re-play FFIV...
