Best Final Fantasy Character Tournament

[Jiro]

I'll pick Shadow, for similar reasons to WK. His backstory is really amazing. And his sacrifice just tops it off.

If I post before WK next group I might be able to write more than that

EDIT: I'll make up for my lack of post with extra.

I think Fran could have been a really good character, but it just ended up being lackluster. For me, she only rode on Balthier's coattails, when her status as a Viera ((SPOILER)and an outcast one iirc) should have contributed to so much more. But then, that whole game really suffered from underdeveloped characters.

Cid had some nice stuff going on there, but whenever I think of him, I always think of sitting down and drinking the goddamn tea. His dreams of space flight and love-hate with Shera usually takes a while to follow. Which, really, just means it didn't have as much impact/my memory is on the fritz. Either way

I haven't played enough of IV to really judge Rydia. Losing her village and family is pretty balls, and to work with the guys who did it takes guts, but I have no idea what her deal is, especially as an adult. This will happen for a wide array of characters throughout the series, probably.
