Rosa or Rydia: who's the better heroine?

[Imperia]

For those who love FFIV: who do you think is the better heroine? I love Rydia, and I guess you all can assume what my opinion is, but what are your opinions? Who's better-Rosa or Rydia?

[Dignified Pauper]

Wow, i've never really thought about it, but its a good question...

I guess I'd have to say Rosa, although Rydia and her summons and black magic are strong, i would have never survived the final battle without Rosa's white magic. She kept my party alive and semi-functional while Cecil, Kain, and Edge whailed away at Zeromous...

[BobDarkavenger]

Rosa was all "Save me Cecil" through the whole game. I'm going with Rydia.

[Pancaek]

Rosa's more useful in battle, but I liked Rydia's personality better. Rosa was too prone to being sick and/or kidnapped. Sure, Rydia was kind of weak too, but she was a little kid, so it was acceptable. After she grows up, she's a lot more independent and whatnot than Rosa.

[Psychotic]

Rosa. Because although she probably was a whiny little 5-year old, we never got to see it.

[Strider]

Maybe Rosa just had no immune system. . .maybe all she needed was to be placed in a plastic bubble to keep germs out.

Anyway, Rydia kicks ass. I choose her.

I though Edge was the best Heroine.

[Sephex]

I say in battle they work very well together. Your party isn't truly complete with only one of them active!

Story wise, I found Rydia a lot more interesting.

[Lexy]

I agree that both of them are essential to the party, but Rydia shows women in a more positive light...am I right here..? She's so cool and independent. Also...she may have like, the lowest hp, but she kicks arse.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

One word: whips.

Edge is a cissy? Never thought of that. He's just a goof-ball. That's what I think.

[Meuterei]

Rydia has way more guts, and green-haired girls generally rule all anyway...

[Moose Knight]

Can Rosa use Meteo? NO.

[Mattokenzi]

Rosa: White Mage
Rydia: Summoner

there is a big difference between them but I like the summon monsters so Rydia got my vote

[RydiaOfMist]

I'm obviously biased when I say this, but I think Rydia is the better of the two because her offensive magic is effective in battle. I also like her personality and her sad past makes her a well-rounded character.
