I'm definitely not liking the exclusion of older game characters. Where's Locke? Kain? Sabin? Yang? Frioniel? FRIONIEL?!
Hey JseanjohnC, I notice that whenever you make thse polls you only use the later FFs for the Sony systems. You should really try the earleir ones, they're grand. :D
As for this question, I think my tournament proved that Cloud is the best FF character so he needs to lead this all star lineup, though I do think Yuna or Locke would make a fine leader.

Anybody but Cloud. And I agree with the three people who posted immediately before me.
Only new school character I'd use is Vivi.
Other than that, all old school.
If old school characters were included, it'd be Locke. But from your list, Cloud.
Edge, Celes, and Cid Highwind.
And yes, there were Final Fantasies before 7. Go play them.
well i heard final fantasy 6 wuz good...i first played final fantasy 8 and when i played 7 after that i wuz like whoa if 7's graphics are this bad im not goin 2 go up nemore lol!
FF6 is 2D :p At least it's 2D done darn well, unlike FF7 which is 3D done rather poorly in places. It's good because of the other aspects of the game as well, namely storyline, characters (these are far better and numerous than FF7's), and music :p
I'll agree with Mr. Gogo though for this game - a new character as the lead would be better and the characters from the other games can make guest appearances, bit like in KH, I guess :p
is final fantasy 6 on playstation 1? by the way u guys kno u can vote for more than one options on the poll right?
There's a PSX remake, yes, but I think the SNES version played on the PC using an emulator is better, plus you can download that one from the front site here :p
I think it would be interesting to see Nankai as the main character.
Locke or maybe Cecil. Or Terra!
From your list:Red XIII, cause I always liked him (duh).
In all: Probabaly Edge (FFIV), Kain (FFIV), Cecil (FFIV), Shadow (FFVI), Cyan (FFVI), Fighter (FFI :p).
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

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.Quote:

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...Quote:

In the poll it says,"Gilgamesh-V". Gilgamesh is a character in FFV, (SPOILER)a fairly inept but persistent opponent, but with a whole different side to him as well. A four-armed warrior, armed with a variety of weapons and dogged determination.
Incidentally, Gilgamesh is also a GF of sorts in FFVIII, but that's another story...
I cannot vote at this one... But I wish the main character from FFI would be the LEADER... the main person... everyone would be the main person... even thought FFI's Main person... would be the leader!
Gilgamesh would be cool, but i think Cloud and Zidane fit more as main characters.
Zell, Auron,Vivi and Locke would 0wn all! XD
Gilgamesh always thinks that Excalipoor is good enough to help me, so i don't like him :mad2:
Zell,Cloud,Tifa would make the best leaders!
i hope u r joking about firional. he has got to be the worst developed and worst ff main character of all time.Quote:

I voted everone in 7, Selphie, Zell, Steiner, Wakka and LuLu. :smash:
Good choice Hooters lol! :D
a lot of u guys voted once when u know that u can vote for as many as you want right?
*reviving dead topic alert!**reviving dead topic alert!**reviving dead topic alert!**reviving dead topic alert!**reviving dead topic alert!**reviving dead topic alert!* :eek:
AND WHERE EXACTLY IN THAT LIST IS SQUALL? :mad2:
i could not add Squall to the list cuz i felt that he was the worst main character(my total opinion)~ i felt that there were 20 other characters that deserved 2 b in the poll more than him cuz i dont see him as the "ultimate final fantasy leader"! But dont get me wrong I like Squall but i dont regret puttin him on the poll...but i think maybe i should hav put Laguna up there cuz hes kool! :D
Why was this dead thread revived? By the same person who created it? Let it go, man. Make a new one.

pirnz: Quit making comments like that. If you think the thread is too old, use the warn button.
JC: Don't double post just to bump your old thread.
I'm cloing this because you guys aren't even talking about the topic, but in the future a month really isn't that old in the SquareEnix boards as long as people are adding to the discussion.
