Might have to give this to the Persona series, with the exception of the first game and maybe some of the spin-off titles I pretty much adore the cast of P2-P4.

I also feel that the Xeno team is really good at making strong characters. Xenogears, Saga, and blade all have overall strong cast of characters, especially the villains.

Oh and Chrono Trigger, love ever single character to bits!
