As the title says.
Who are your favourite characters in each FF game (no spin-offs and sequels, numbered titles only)? One playable and one non-playable character per game.

I guess I'll get it started.

FF1
Haven't played it.

FF2
Same as FF1.

FF3
Same as the above.

FF4
Cecil - From Dark Knight to Paladin. I like his character arc. It was hard to choose a fave playable character.


FF5
Galuf - His sacrifice... :mjcry:

FF6
So many to choose from. Most of the characters were great. However, my pick goes to Cyan. An honourable warrior with a tragic backstory, yet, he maintains his dignity. He's just a naturally decent man.

FF7
Barrett - A big black man with a gun for an arm. He may seem gruff and one-dimensional but he genuinely cares for his comrades and he'd do anything for his adopted daughter, Marlene.
Bugenhagen - "Ho, ho, hooo." What an upbeat old man.

FF8
Laguna. Desperado, need I say more? Plus, he's funny.
Cid the Balamb Garden Master - "YOU GODDAMN SON OF A bytch!"

FF9
Zidane - "Ooh, soft!" He's defo a Man of Culture!:obama::wow:
Regent Cid of Lindblum - The guy couldn't catch a break.

FF10
Auron - A man of few words with a big sword.
Cid - Yuna's Uncle and Rikku's Father. That man has zero fukks to give.

FF11
Haven't played it

FF12
Balthier - I liked the air of mystery that surrounded him. Cool, calm and collected.
Montblanc - I have to put a Moogle in this. LOL

FF13
Sazh - One of the only characters that were likeable. The voice of reason, who only wanted to rescue his son. Also, loved the way he was openly afraid.


FF14
Haven't played it.

FF15
Technically, I haven't played but I watched my li'l bro play yet I can't really say my fave playable character.
Cindy Aurum - ... What can I say, I'm a man of culture.:wow::obama::shaq:

Fang was the best in 13. I thought Rinoa was the best in 8.

Not gonna lie. I didn't wait for Shadow so he died.

Sabin is one of my all time favorites and is pretty much why I like to use fighting monk styled characters.
Sabin was one of my mains in FF6. He was defo one of my fave characters.
Basically - Sabin, Celes, Edgar and Shadow are honourable mentions.

Fang was the best in 13. I thought Rinoa was the best in 8.

Not gonna lie. I didn't wait for Shadow so he died.
Fang was one of the least annoying characters in FF13. Rinoa was alright.

the only FF game I've played to completion was FFX. and Auron was that nikka.
Indeed. I also liked Wakka.

I mostly dislike all the Cloud and Sephiroth clones Square kept putting out. Characters like Squall, Lightning, to a lesser extent Noctis, Kuja, Seymour. Always like protagonist that were closer to Zidane's or Zack's temperament.

Never liked Cloud to begin with so his derivatives don't earn points. That whole emotionally stunted standoffish archetype isn't all that interesting. While Sephiroth is cool all his imitations feel too watered down like they were trying too hard to recapture lightning in a bottle again.

Neck ties and boxing gloves.
Pretty boring list, admittedly

FF 1:
Warrior/Knight

FF2:
Leon

F4:
Cecil

FF5:
Galuf

(Not much of a competition since FF5 prioritized gameplay over story)

FF6:
Shadow (closely followed by Locke)

FF7:
Cloud

FF8:
Squall (Gets a bad fukking rap)

FF9:
Amarant (favorite not best)
.
FF10
Auron

I have to get back to 12.

I have nothing for anything past that because 13..broke me.

I can still see the hallways.
