best lead male.

[Twilight Edge]

Squall.Forever.Full stop.(Although Zidane was trailing by a second behind...)

[The Last Oath]

Squall of course, whenever there was a SeeD mission everyone always looked up at Squall, Squall was the gardens leader and everyone there looked up to him to.

[Meat Puppet]

Firion, whoever that is.

[Leucant]

Clearly Cecil. How many people have the strength and skill to be a Dark Knight and a Pally...in the same game. Squall and Cloud were too busy being emo to wield that kind of power.

[*~Angel Wing~*]

Squall is the best.

:kaohappy2 SQUALL!!! :kaohappy2

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Squall

[Tavrobel]

Everyone knows that orphans are pwnage. Especially if they are named after a vegetable that makes you cry.

Zidane for real, however...

[ehsteve]

I would argue that FFVI doesn't even have a main character, much less a male lead. However, my vote went to Locke, with Tidus in a close second.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Heidegger

lol

For me its Zidane.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

HE WASN'T A MALE LEAD REGUARDLESS OF HOW SEXY HE MAY BE.

He was so. The plotline of FFVII TOTALLY revolved around him. The other characters were mere accessories to the story, which has been stated by Square was simply a vehicle to show just how amazing he is.

IGN: So, what many American fans want to know is how Cloud was chosen as the lead character.

Kitase: That's a pretty common misconception.

Nomura: Yeah, we hear that one all the time (he rolled his eyes here). I originally designed Cloud as a hidden joke. His sword is too big for anyone to wield. Why don't more people understand why this is funny?

IGN: So you're saying Cloud wasn't the main character?

Nomura: Exactly. We simply decided that making him a secret character would mean not everyone would discover him, so not everyone would get to see the joke.

Kitase: The boring characters (referring to Vincent and Yuffie) were chosen to be secret so you wouldn't have to suffer through their dialogue if you didn't want to, while Cloud was kept as a standard character.

IGN: So if Cloud isn't the central character, who is?

Nomura: Heidegger.

Kitase: Heidegger.

IGN: Oh! Wow, I can't believe that didn't occur to me sooner!

Kitase: Well, this is why we keep not releasing all our cool games in your country. You guys just suck like that.

And there you have it, folks. If IGN says it, it MUST be true.

lolz again

[Shiny]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Zidane. At this moment I really don't know why.

[Reles]

Zidane, totally.

[cloud_doll]

Am I the only one who finds it odd its currently a tie for Zidane and Squall? The Ladies man and the Angsty Emo?

I think people need to read this one more time.

Cloud is the best, he was my first pixel crush, he was mysterious, and a good leader in my eyes. (even had TWO chicks after him, beat that)

[Evastio]

Cecil was the best lead male. He went against Baron, his own hometown to stand up for what's right. He also helped change a lot of people. (He taught Edward courage, he taught Edge teamwork, he taught Yang trust, he taught Rydia forgiveness, he taught Golbez mercy)

[Bowser]

Cecil.
