I'd say Ramza. Born in a noble family with the pressure of living up to its name, he's disliked by his oldest brother cause he's the child of a second marriage and not considered true blood, makes several mistakes in his youth trying to live up to his family name which results in the death of his best friends sister and the ending of his friendship with Delita. Joins a mercenary guild in disgrace only to have its leader betray him and try to kill him. Hell, he's betrayed by almost everyone... Fails everytime he tries to save Ovelia, accidentally stumbles upon the plot of the church and becomes branded a heretic meaning any chance of him living a normal life is gone, is hereto after pursued by the church, his brothers who have abandoned him, and Goltana's forces.

Discovers his friend is manipulating the war for personal gain, learns his brother is manipulating the war for personal gain and ends up killing both his brothers. Saves the world and never gets credit for it, instead he's criminalized and the few people who try to tell his tale are killed for it. Granted he's happy by the end cause he has the satisfaction of knowing he did the right thing. He never fought for glory or revenge, and unlike most other FF characters, his life is almost completely destroyed to obtain his goal.

He was the character my friends and I unanimously agreed upon. I'd easily buy him a drink if I met him in a bar. After that sob story, I wouldn't even care if its happy hour or not.
