As much as I gotta give it up for the OG's Vincent and Zack....the MVP award goes to Auron, for literally being the best bodyguard in existence, dying and coming back to bodyguard his friend's daughter

. Not only did he complete his mission, he came back a second time to help Sora....bruh apparently the gates of hell stay open for two people; Onikage and Auron. Keep in mind that this is a "normal" dude. No genetic modification, no relations to gods, no special god killing weapon, and no magical abilities passed spitting sake on his sword and lighting it on fire. So that you further grasp his epicness, the man traveled with two living legends, it took a god to kill him, and he's somehow only still human.
Honorable mention to Zell....as he's human? Best bro ever, and is fueled by hotdogs and a hoverboard, uses his fists to fukk up literally everything, and stopped a train with a punch because he was flustered....also he's clearly wearing some type of foams in the game. First "black" pugilist I ever fought with in a FF game.
