1. Sazh-He's just awesome. He has a very human personality and much care was taken into his development. Above all the others, he demonstrates kindness, intelligence, and wit. His relationship with his son was touching and yet his arch never felt whiny. It was original and despite his emotional scarring, he mantains his incredibly positive, yet practical, outlook.

2. Lightning-She's a bitch and I love her. I know she's stoic and oftentimes cruel, I found her funny oftentimes. I just wish she had more development. The first half she was one of the best protoganists, yet she falls a few ranks with her lack of a central arch.

3. Vanille-I should hate her. But I don't.

4. Hope-Hope was handled with more realism than any other character for his age. He is crearly shocked and traumatized in the early parts of the game, sliding from anger to depression quickly. Yet he develops and matures, laerning forgiveness and reconciling with his family.

5. Fang-She was alright, but her personality wasn't very sympathetic to me and she was added to the group too late to have her contribute to the emotion of the story.

6. Snow-He's a twat. I don't like him too much. I like his design, though.
