I pretty much always vote for VI when it comes to these things, except there wasn't really a main character for VI, like someone said, so that can't be the best main character, cause like someone said, she sucked at it if she was the main character.... she doesn't need to be in your party to beat the game, and I can only think of one game where it's obvious who the main character is, and he doesn't need to be in your party to beat the game... but that's different, cause in Chrono Trigger, the trigger part of the title refers to the thing that revives Crono, so a big part of the game is going and reviving him, granted you don't HAVE to.

Anyways, I'll vote for Squall, cause I liked seeing his thoughts, they don't really show thoughts in many other FF games, just what's actually spoken.
