FF Characters You Would Like To See

[Greatermaximus]

If you think about it you can incorporate any character into a game. Even Final Fantasy if you look past the aesthetics. Think flexiblity.

Jonny Quest - artificer or thief
His partner could be some sort of wizard.

Guinan from Star Trek - blue mage or white mage.

"Friends" could easily be knights or paladins.

What you're referring to is what 'job' should one be. It's not a matter of what one you'd like to see all the time, but maybe what job is correct for someone real/imagined.

In final fantasy or any fiction/non-fiction there are plenty of characters of any kind in combat/non-combat rolls or both. Cid is a great example.

Guinan from Star Trek - blue mage or white mage.

That reminds me, we need a "best character of anything ever" thread

Maybe some of these characters shouldn't see combat at all (i.e. wheelchair guy?), but are just always traveling with the party so they still play their role in the events just not the battles.

[Mercen-X]

I would also like to see previous heroes as Summons. Just some ideas:
Luxfrix the Warrior of Light, Fironel the First Rebel, Gralich the Onion Knight, Cecilus the Redeemer, Barotus the Wanderer, Taira the Hybrid, Kuroudo the Soldier, Skawll the Legacy, Zeidan the Living Shell, Sol, A Dream in Reality, Va An the Red Wing

[VeloZer0]

That is actually a really cool idea. As part of an epic Knights of the Round summon perhaps?

[Mahad]

What I have always wanted to see in an FF game is a cast of characters where at least the main character or the whole main cast isn't composed of all teenagers or kids. Also, more non human main characters. I don't know about FF7, 8 or 9, and excluding online titles, I think the only games with non-human main characters or main cast characters were FF10 with that blue guy, and FF12 with Fran. I want more diverse, creative parties.

[Hollycat]

More bards: Not like Gilbert. Like Shakespeare.

Someone funny and upbeat without being annoying. (I do not think S-E's writers are capable of accomplishing this)

Zack Fair

[Mercen-X]

The main protagonist should be a bard, black, or Cid.

I guess that would work if that was the only way Square would be willing to do it. But I'd like to see them as separate summons. Matter of fact, I love to see these characters drawn as summons.

[Mercen-X]

A badass black princess* (one-armed, middle-aged "cyclops" and strongest member of the group) recently divorced from the rather homely paladin prince* whose handicapped yet handsy twin brother is gay for the default protagonist (a poetic dragoon who later leaves the party to die but seems apologetic).

*Normally when a prince and princess are wed they become King and Queen, but this usually only applies if they can acquire their own land or if they can succeed their parents. In this case, however, this can be bypassed through their choice to elope leading to them not being accepted as a King and Queen.

The "protagonist" traitor later returns to the party much to the relief of the magical berserker (as a child, killed her mother by accident) who relies on his presence to keep her emotionally stable. Her 80-year-old father teaches various magic skills. The berserker is taken by the enemy for nefarious purposes and is killed when the party comes to rescue her. Her father subsequently loses his grip on sanity and begins to act and dress like her dead mother.

I smurfing love this.

[Elskidor]

A old as trout lead homosexual Dwarf with two heads, a big ole' 500 lb belly, one leg, one arm, and is nearly blind and deaf. One head is male and the other is female, and throughout the day his/her ethnicity changes at random. Half way through the game his/her gluttony get so bad he/she eats one of the party members. Mid game tragedy right there. This death will impact half the hero in a good way and lead him/her to begin a 12 step program for food addiction, while the other half begins a path of evil and may end up being the main bad guy in the end. The rest of the party members will consist of one cast member of previous Final Fantasy titles that were summoned to help this Dwarf hero on his/her journey to do....whatever the hell it's doing.

[Cosmiccandy]

I would like to see a well written character.

Yah, that's it.

[Mirage]

A lot more late 20s/early 30s than teenagers. Zash was a good start, but there needs to be more of them, preferrably as a lead character.

I also agree with the point about characters having real families, not just some sort of half-family where they show like a single sibling or just one parent.

The Namco-rule about no females above the age of 35 also needs to go.
