Reimi Saionji (Star Ocean The Last Hope):

In game use: Reimi is the archer character, making her good for distance attacks and combos. Being long distance, it's also pretty easy to blindside the enemies when using her, which helps build up the bonus board for critical hits.

Why I like her: Well, I find her to be absurdly pretty. But really, first of all, she's an archer character, which I very much enjoy playing. I actually think she may be my favourite archer to use from any game. Second of all, I just find her to be a really nice girl. She steps up to command when Edge is out of commission and she does a surprisingly good job. It was unexpected because she doesn't emit an air of leadership, but she still did what she had to do. She always tries her best for others, despite her own fears and insecurities, and she's a really nice person

Fran (Final Fantasy XII):

In game use: Because of the way FFXII is played, Fran can be pretty much whoever you want her to be in battle. She does start out as an archer with some black magic. I personally made her in to a Black Mage Archer (my favourite Final Fantasy job combo) and also gave her some ninja swords.

Why I like her: As much as I like upbeat and sweet characters, Fran provided a refreshing change from that. She's not quick to open up, but she is still very loyal to the people she trusts. We don't learn much about her until later in the game, but seeing her scenes with the other viera was truly touching, because we got to see a side of her we normally didn't. Also, I like her voice

March (Eternal Sonata):

In game use: March is a very well rounded character. She has low HP, but the rest of her stats are good. She's also one of the best characters at building combos, and has some of the more useful special attacks. She attacks with giant moon rings



Why I like her: March provides a good contrast to her sister, Salsa. I like how calm and polite she is. I preferred using her in battle as well. She's very easy going, quiet, and takes her responsibility seriously. It's a shame she comes in later in the game.

Miakis (Suikoden V):

In game use: Miakis has pretty well rounded stats and good rune affinity, meaning you can make her fit almost any role in the game. She as good damage output, and her magic attack is good as well if you'd prefer to use her as a mage.



Why I like her: Because she's spunky and silly, acting as kind of a comic relief, but she'll still kick your ass, and her more touching and serious moments are very sad and give me the feels. Her relationship with the princess is just precious, and she acts more like a big sister to her than anything.

Kimahri (Final Fantasy X):

In game use: Kimahri is pretty well balanced, and having the smallest sphere grid means you're free to pursue pretty much anyone else's sphere grid to make him whatever you want to make him. I usually follow Tidus' path, so for me, Kimahri usually ends up being a more effective and stronger Tidus. He's also a blue mage, and unlike most FF Blue Mages, he can restore HP while learning abilities, instead of the other way around

Why I like him: Because I'm shallow, he was the character that originally interested me the least. Like a giant blue lion man thing? No. I like pretty sweet girl characters! But Kimahri won my respect. He is fiercly loyal to Yuna, he cares about his friends, he's useful in battle, he's strong willed, calm, level headed, wise, and when he finally gets his moments, they are awesome. Him finally gaining the respect of the other Ronso was great, and while I would normally hate 2 against 1 battles, this one had me excited because I wanted to win for Kimahri
