Its just like gym class...

[Wolf Kanno]

With a roster of 22 playable characters, its obvious that we all have a few characters that will be decidedly left last to play as while we scramble to play as our favorite heroes and villains.

So who gets to be like the nerds in gym class and get picked last...

EDIT: Smurfing hell... it took me too long to get my poll ready with my snarky comments. Now I don't get one...

I think the characters from the earlier Final Fantasy games will get less attention than VII and up. I can't name specific names because I'm too lazy to look up the roster again and I forget most of it.

But ultimately these kind of games quickly dissolve into using who's overpowered and ignoring who's underpowered no matter how they feel about the character for most people.

[Jiro]

Most of the early villians and some of the early heroes would be left til later for me, but that's just because I'm less familiar with them. I'd find someone who played the way I liked and stick with them though, so who they are won't matter after a while.

[Wolf Kanno]

That's true, but it seems like the developers have done a lot to make the characters very different from each other in play style. I'm certain there are some pretty broken characters (Tidus and Ex-Death are certainly getting some love) but I wonder if this may be a scenario like SSB where people play at their fave characters regardless.

Nobody from before FFVI will be getting much use by me.

You might just fall for Onion Knights charms

I'm fairly sure I'm going to be playing Emperor a lot, just because his focus on traps and ranged spells is a very interesting playstyle for a fighting game, and one that I'm looking forward to.

Other than that, I'm just going to be playing my favorites. I like most of the characters they chose (even if they did leave out Auron. >.<), and I'm going to play them all, and enjoy most of them, even if some of them are low-tier.

I'd play the ones from VIII, IX, and X first then I'd start playing the others. This just being because I've only played VIII and up.

[Exdeath]

Exdeath moves a bit too slow for my taste. I personally use Cecil or Terra

[Zeromus_X]

Will definitely use Cecil.

As for characters I'd avoid, generally the "heavy" characters like say Jecht or Golbez but I'd at least like to try them out.

[NeoCracker]

Except for possible story mode purposes, I refuse to play as Squall...

[paxx0r]

The only characters that I've played in the Japanese version was Garland, Gabranth and Bartz. But I plan to main everyone (or at least be familiar with their strategies) in the NA version.

[Crimson]

Already long know who im using and how to thrash every character, having been on GameFAQS since the japanese version came out last december.


I look forward to thrashing you nubs online. :evilking:

[Cleric]

Zidane so far has been my favorite character of choice. As far as who is going to get the boot I can honestly say I'm not feeling Bartz too much.

[NeoCracker]

Alright, given Squalls more likable character, I no longer refuse to use him.
