Eyes on Forgetting Females

[Jiro]

Who is your favourite female character in the Final Fantasy series? It can be anyone, from Princess Sarah (FFI) to Nora (FFXIII) or even Terra (FFVI). I don't care who you pick so long as you tell me why you like them!

There is no poll because a limit of 20 options does not nearly cater!


As for myself, I think my favourite female character is Garnet. I wrote a two and a half thousand word article on it for dear Loony BoB as homework, but suffice to say that her development from helpless little princess to tough, decisive and battle-hardened queen was really very endearing. The fact that she forgives Zidane so very quickly is not a favourite trait of mine though. She should have smacked his smug little face in!

Edea, I like her appearance and personality.

[Flying Arrow]

Aeris. Aside from the fact that she's an Earth Princess or whatever, she's generally a good depiction of a regular city girl. Lately she's portrayed as soft and sweet, but in the actual game she has her share of snarky comments and manipulative moments. Before everything gets crazy, she's really only interested in landing Cloud as a squeeze. Not in the *WITHOUT YOU I'M NOTHING* kind of way, but more in the mid-20s companionship kind of way. Plus, the whole thing with Zack/Cloud is just... neurotic, but still somehow understandable. She's a really great character.

I also really like Garnet because she has a really great character arc from naive princess to strong queen (cliche, yeah, but pulled off very nicely).

tifa or garnett for me. tifa has something about her that seems innocent, and garnet grows up more than any other character in the series

(.)(.) Boobs are innocent, aren't they?

[Quindiana Jones]

In absolutely no way, no.

[Hollycat]

yes, because blocky boobs are attractive

[Sephex]

Rydia. I felt like her character was fleshed out well, especially considering the time that Final Fantasy IV was made. She's also a bad ass that can summon a ****ing dragon from the moon to nuke everything as far as the eye can see.

[Depression Moon]

Garnet Til Alexandros because out of all the females I know from the series she shows the most growth coming from a naive young girl to a queen willing to do all it takes to save her people.

I would have to go with Barret Wallace. She's just so sexy. Her grasp of the English isn't the best but that's just cute. She's kind of a 'treat em mean, keep em keen' kind of girl. She's always putting me down but that just makes me want her more.

She's got tattoos which definitely gives her a certain edge! Although she only has one arm, she has special attachments for the other which look like they could be useful... if you know what I mean!

Plus, when you look at her from the side, it looks like she might have a huge, black... wait, what??

I'm going to say it's either Yuffie or Aeris.
Yuffie for the sake of self-preservation and efficiency, Aeris for the sake of... well, it's Aeris. As Flying Arrow said, she was a very relatable and believable character.

We all have made this mistake at least once in our lifetime. It's alright, man. It's alright.

Tifa. Of the girls I've seen in the various games so far, I would say she comes across as the most interesting and genuine. It helps that she is attractive, it helps that she is in the first FF I played (and my favourite game of all time), it helps that she is shown next to Aeris, who I simply could never stand in that game. I guess overall, though, I just like how there is a lot left to the imagination - well, obviously not much in the looks department, but in her mind. She kind of reminded me of girls I was into at the time, too - shy but attractive girls who weren't interested in throwing themselves at the guys they think is cute (a la Aeris), but rather just relying a little more on romance and having dreams and all that.

I'm reading far too much into it, of course, but that's pretty much the only purpose of this thread, right? xD

[Del Murder]

Terra is my favorite. She is the link between two races and must deal with that. She's extremely powerful without the use of espers and that power causes her to be abused, but she eventually overcomes that. She also has a strong motherly sense and wants to protect those she cares about. Those are a lot of interesting qualities and it makes her a dynamic character.
