    This is hard for me to say since I haven't played all of them through, but from recent memory I have to go with Beatrix. Woman was a right pain in the ass.

    I count samurai as something different, same with Magic Knights like Celes, though you did remind me that General Leo is a pretty badass knight.

    I was going to say Beatrix but I am reminded by looking at the posts in this thread of a certain T.G Cid. He joins the party and just folds all your enemies in half by himself. He'd snap Beatrix's neck in his sleep.

    I'm surprised Cecil is getting no love. Can switch between paladin and dark knight freely.

    Not only that but he quickly rushed in a mad haste to see if the King was alright; but when it came time to go and see if his family was alright; he took his sweet ass time.

    Oh yeah, I always forget about him because I have this crazy obsession with Kain that I overlook Cecil a lot. But he's pretty legit. There really is no other knight in the series that can do that. You make a good point.

    If I made a top 5 or 10 off the top of my head... (Only player/temp player characters)
    considering character is lv 99 with best equipment...
    1. General Leo, he's freaking awesome
    2. Freya extremely powerful dragoon magic, can summon dragons. I don't think she's as skilled a fighter as Kain is though.
    3.Cecil Harvey, can freely switch between paladin and dark knight, extremely fast (onion knight might be the only knight that's faster), defeated Kuja, Goobez, and Ex-Death in dissidia. Easily defeated Kain in FFIV TAY, can wield Lightbringer.
    4. Warrior of light/Kain: WOL defeated sepheroth, Garland, and plethora of others. Kain(I'll add more later)
    5. Not sure...

    i think I need to go check out the final fantasy wiki to get more info on various characters. It's been A while since I've played FFII and a few others.

    Now that i think about it my list stinks.

    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    As a character class, I could see how you would. But in Japan, the samurai were the knights. Knights lived and died to protect their king. Samurai did the same for their feudal lord. Both typically came from some line of nobility as it was generally unheard of for farmers and serfs to become knights and samurai and both had a strict code of honor. Either was trained from childhood, whether 3 or 10 years of age. The one difference is, as far as I can tell, knights were not generally asked to perform seppuku (death by their own hand). Although I've heard the term "fall on one's own sword", the term is merely an Anglicized version of hara-kiri. While a few non-Japanese warriors have considered the act throughout history, nowhere has it been so prevalent as in Japan.

    There should be more samurai characters in Final Fantasy. I mean main named characters whose class you can't choose. So that pretty much makes Cyan and Auron the only ones I know of... so they should start putting in more.

    As for best knight... I'll throw Steiner a bone... at least when he's in Trance, he looks like a paladin.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Suicide being less prevalent amongst Euro-Knights was probably due to Christianity's prohibition of the act.

    BTW, Euro-Knights would be a great name for the Jacksonville Jaguars when they move to London.
