Rank The Main Protagonists!

[Laddy]

I included IV and up since they have the most development.
1. Terra (VI)
2. Zidane (IX)
3. Cloud (VII)
4. Cecil (IV)
5. Bartz (V)
6. Lightning (XIII)
7. Vaan (XII)
8. Squall (VIII)
9. Tidus (X)

[Karifean]

1. Tidus (X)
2. Cloud (VII)
3. Squall (VIII)
4. Zidane (IX)
5. Lightning (XIII)
6. Serah (XIII-2)
7. Yuna (X-2)
8. Bartz (V)
9. Cecil (IV)
10. Vaan (XII)

Now why did I put Tidus at #1? Simply because he's EXACTLY the protagonist FFX needs. I left out VI because I don't feel there is a definitive main protagonist in that game. I'd have almost left out Lightning as well, but she's enough of a main protagonist to qualify.

I can understand laughing about squall and tidus, but what about Vaan?

Lightning above Squall, Vaan and Tidus?

:laughing:

Squall and Tidus were unlikable, and Vaan, while pleasant, had relatively little to do with the plot.

[Super Christ]

Vaan was a cardboard cutout that the party carried with them.

[Laddy]

And as inoffensive as one.

[Super Christ]

Sure, he's as inoffensive as a cutout, but there's not much more you can say for him.

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.

[Pete for President]

1. Tidus (X). Bold and ignorant he shakes up an entire religion. He goes from superstar to outsider, and it works like a charm.
2. Ramza (T). The only reason Ramza is number two is because I don't own FFT. If I had more than the 1 borrowed playthrough, he'd probably be number 1.
3. Zidane (IX). Lively dude, I liked the guy.
4. Vaan (XII). Nothing to do with the story, but I did like his thief-ish rascal background.
5. Cloud (VII). I never really got what the fuss was all about.
6. Lightning (XIII). Hardly anything was human about her. Go home, negativitron!

I left out VI because I never finished it.

[Quindiana Jones]

1. Amarant.
2. Penelo.
3. Interceptor.
4. Cait Sith.
5. Thief.

Loony Bob (XIV)
Loonybob (XI)
Bartz (V)
Zack (VII:CC)
Zidane (IX)
Cloud (VII)
Lightning (XIII)
Serah (XIII-2)
Squall (VIII)
Celes or Locke (VI)
Fighter (I)
--distance--
Vaan (XII)
--so much distance--
Tidus (X)

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.

>>> Is just me or people is starting to appreciate Tidus?
I mean, he is like the most hated FF main protagonist since FFX appeared.
Which is funny since he became my fav FF main protagonist when FFX appeared..

No, it's just between him and Vaan, Tidus is the Birth of Venus and Vaan a black and white painting of snow when it comes to personality.

Vaan is just kind of along for the ride.
