EWB's Favourite Final Fantasy Characters

[hugobomb]

Simple give me your top ten Final Fantasy characters and we'll see who's EWB's favourite. Which heroes made you cheer and will them on? Which villians did you most want to punch in their silly, effeminate faces (but you admit was well written)? How many people are just going to end up putting Vivi at the top making this a fight for second place?

All the FF games that aren't XI and XIV are included, so you can included Tactics, Tactics Advance, Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core and some other spins off I'm clearly forgetting.

Also as a side list (get it? Like a side quest?! I crack myself up at times, someone has to laugh at my jokes), you can (if you want) list your five least characters, the ones that pissed you when that wasn't what they were meant to be doing.

[hugobomb]

2. The Wisecracking Sidekick

3. The Cool Villain That You Beat At The End Of Disc 1

4. The Effeminate Lead Male Hero

5. The Lead Female Hero That's More Manly Than The Effeminate Lead Male Hero

6. The Lead Villain You Chase After For The Whole Game

7. The Somber Sidekick With The Ominously Haunting Past

8. The Annoying Perky Female Sidekick You Never Let Fight

9. The Villain You Fight At The Very, Very End That Suddenly Shows Up Just Before You Fight Them & Is Never Mentioned Any Other Time Before That

10. The Super-Hard Villain That You Can Never Kill, But It's Okay Because It's An Optional Fight Anyway & All You Get's A Sticker That Says "Hey, I Beat The Super-Hard Villain!"

Is a bad sign that I filled those in with no googling needed?

[tenaciousg]

I would replace your choice for his #10 with Yiazmat or Omega Weapon (VIII). Diamond's actually fairly easy, and he's story-based.

Hell, even limiting it to other FF7 WEAPONs, you still have Ultima, Ruby and Emerald as technically-optional bosses.

[hugobomb]

Bollocks! I meant Emerald Weapon, my boasting about no googling now seems a bit silly.
