The Intriguing Cast of FFIV - Your thoughts?

[Fourleafclover]

I hope this isn’t a gratuitous thread…. Another man’o man I can’t believe someone wants to ask my favorite character *again*. But… here I go: What character is your choice for most interesting character.

Now when I say most interesting character I mean... well, what character are you attracted to in terms of their scripted personality. What is interesting about the content of their character?

They all have their merits but my favorite character is Prince Edward/Gilbert of Damcyan. I think I'm probably in the minority on that one tho'. All too often I find that people tend to dismiss interesting characters on the sole basis that they suck in battle, which Edward does.... alot. However - I love his story and how he rises above his life's personal tragedies and his tendency towards self-pity, one of his huge flaws.

On the flip side, I suppose that Fusoya is the least interesting character but that’s only because he didn’t get much air-time or back story. I imagine he was quite a hell-raiser in his day… or maybe not, maybe he spent all his years shut up in the library on moon.

So - using FF2/4 as my model I was wondering who your favorite character is and if it's for any reason that's not "he can hit the hardest." Or perhaps give me one sentence that you figure best describes each character.

I’m chewing on some ideas for an epic fanfic (aren’t we all… :rolleyes2 ) and would appreciate any thoughts thrown my way.

“Boooo! Get off the stage!” Well – maybe not all the thoughts thrown my way….



Actually, I'll be quite surprised if Kain, Cecil and Rydia don't sweep the election, so to speak. Holding a favorite/most interesting character poll might be moot with a superstar like Rydia in the running.
