I suppose, if I were to order them, and leaving out the warriors of light (1 & 3) and the characters you make yourself (11 & 14), then I'd have to rate them in this order.

1. Cecil. Probably the most heroic character in the series - although he starts out on the wrong path, he seeks, and finds, redemption; and then devotes himself to undoing all the damage he caused.
2. Tidus. He is the hero that X needed, because at the beginning of the game he is as much an outside observer of Spira as the player is.
3. Terra? Celes? Locke? VI doesn't have a very clear main character, but they're all impressive; and the group in VI had probably the largest challenges to overcome.
4. Bartz. The pimp.
5. Firion. He's one of the few Amano character designs I like.
6. Zidane. Nothing in particular to say about him, I just didn't like him as much as the ones above him for whatever reason.
7. Squall. He has his issues in the beginning but does, by and large, get over them by the end.
8. Lightning. I'll take Cloud with boobs over Cloud any day.
9. Cloud. Cloud's a jerk.
10. Vaan. As I recall, Basch was originally going to be the main character. They should've stuck with that; or failing that, made Balthier or Ashe the main character.

I like this list for the most part. I'd probably place Tidus after Squall and swap Squall for Bartz though. Vaan is easily the most worthless of main characters. That game probably would have ran better without him in it at all.
