IGN: Top 25 Final Fantasy Characters - Day 1

[CimminyCricket]

I love when they do this.

[NeoCracker]

I was fine until Selphie beat out Ultras.

I mean really, WTF? How can she beat out Ultros?

Gilgamesh had better come in the top 10 to make up for that atrocity.

[Roogle]

I do not think that their explanation for Selphie Tilmitt was expansive enough to allow her to place at #23.

[Slothy]

I'm just happy that if they had to have an FFVIII character in there they chose the best of the very few I enjoyed.

[PeneloRatsbane]

Selphie. Wakka? seem strange choices, as long as they don't beat out some greats i'll be ok with that.
Agreed that ultros should have beat Selphie tho.

i'm gunna do my own list (i'll do 15 cos 25's a bit much)

15: Irvine, just cos he doesn't get enough love and he was cute
14. Rikku, she bought some spice to X and i like the al bhed language
13. Gabranth, classic evil twin who isn't so bad but is kinda
12. Reeve, he was an interesting chap
11. Hojo, cos the man was crazy and was a third (maybe a bit more but i mean in genetic contribution) of the way responsible for Sephiroth
10. Rinoa, cos although she annoyed me she was pretty and i missed her when she was unconcious
9. Zidane, it was fun to be him
8. Lulu, sexy and smart and hid her baby weight well.
7. Tifa, She stood by Cloud when he was sick and shes just interesting
6. Celes Chere, not finished the game yet but she is compelling, all together now "Oh my hero...so far away now!"
5. Yuffie/Vincent (as they are secret they count as one), that lil scamp sure caused some trouble and all though she was a bit of a pain at first, she became the most valued member of my ffvii team and she really pulls my heart strings at the end of DoC when shes looking up at the sky with no grin, her face serious.
vincent: emo and a bit of a drag but he can do some sweet flips, he is beautiful, if in need of fashion advice. Heroic and troubled. the flip side to Yuffie (if they were a coin), and his sad story of love with that scientist freak Lucrecia was kinda sad. plus it was fun aquiring them both
3. Cloud. Because he's not perfect and hes flawed but he's still the hero. and he drove a bike down the stairs.
2. Fran/balthier (As they are a duo): They stole the show from the instant they burst on to the screen on their flying motorbike, and what exactly is going on with them? whatever it is they are one compelling set of pirates.
1. Contraversial im Sure but.... Aeris: The woman was funny, sweet and felt more alive than any other character i can remember. Desired By shinra, loved by her friends and Murdered by Sephiroth. I still shed a tear for her, the loss of Aeris was one imense moment, she was great.

Honourable mentions
best octopus: ultros, (sniff u aren't just an ugly octopus)
best villain: Sephiroth (blah(latin) blah(latin) blah(latin) SEPHIROTH!!)
Best Princess: Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca (she's as cold as ice, and a refreshing change of heroine)
Worst Character: Khimari
Best non-human character: Nanaki/Red XII

[Wolf Kanno]

Garland #25 and Cid Highwind #21!?! WTF?!

Can't say I care for the list already... I bet Cloud, Sephiroth, or Aerith will be #1 if not the top three :rolleyes2

[Bahamut2000X]

Garland I was sad was so low on the list.

Ultros was a given.

Selphie? I like her design, but her personality is too odd and she did nothing for the game. Shouldn't have even made the list.

Cid Highwind. While a cool Cid, I still hold that IV's Cid or XII's Cid would have been much better on the list then him.

Wakka was a good choice though, and one of the few things I liked from X. That and he reminds me of Levian.

[Roto13]

One would expect the first Final Fantasy to feature voice acting would show more signs of teething troubles, but it still features one of the best dubs in gaming.

... What? The voice acting isn't terrible most of the time, but there are some incredibly awkward moments in it. >_>

They should have put all of the Cids in one entry and stuck it at number 1.

No offense, but what you posted was a list for "top characters from FF VI - XII" rather than a list for "top characters from ALL FF games."

[Remedy]

worse characters in day 1

[PeneloRatsbane]

sorry, i've played III and IV and V and i sorta forgot the characters,
im sure there are some goodun's but they don't make my list,

IGN: Top 25 Final Fantasy Characters of All Time

[NeoCracker]

That list is even more depressing.

[Karellen]

They ruined it by having a Final Fantasy VIII character higher then Delita Hyral, even if it is the best FFVIII character.
