I really didn't like any of their choices on the first page from FFIV, as much as I adore the game I feel that they're very bland characters and are far from the "best".
Also, wheres gilgamesh from FFV? Dudes amazing. Him not being in there is just a disgrace.
It almost seemed as if they were like "Here's a few Final Fantasy games we like and these are a few of the characters" instead of cherry picking them for actual quality. IGN, why must you always suck at everything?
