Who's considered the leader in IX? I want to say Tidus, but didn't Steiner try to as well? I think he didd in the begginning trying to take the Princess back home, but he really just ended up following people's orders so Steiner isn't a leader, He ran away with Garney on her orders to get back to Alexandria and Zidane led the way most of the way through. Eiko and Garnet had their own lead for a period of time too. It was Garnet who drove the airship back to Lindblum it was her idea to go there in the first place andEiko led the party when they were in the Desert Palace out of them and the other FF leaders I pick Zidane.
