As a huge Final Fantasy fan who is fiending for the next adaption of the series, I thought I would pass a very small amount of waiting time by constructing my Top 5 list of the best Final Fantasy Characters. This list is based on my own opinion, but I like hearing from fellow fans so let me know what you think, either in the comments below or by emailing me at Gswaby@thekoalition.com.

5. AURON

Auron (Final Fantasy X) rarely left my party as his attacks were brain smashingly effective.
He was your typical badass, he didn’t talk much, he instead let his sword do the talking.

4. TIDUS

Final Fantasy X’s main character was very likable for the fact that he was so unaware of the games proceedings. You and Tidus pretty much had to learn what the hell was going on together as he is inconveniently thrown into the amazing adventure which took place in Spira.

3. CLOUD

Cloud (Final Fantasy VII) has to be the best main character in a Final Fantasy to date. His story is just so deep and has so much history that you cant help but wanting to know more. Plus Cloud’s aggressive nature makes other main characters such as Tidus and Vaan look like crybabies.

2. YUNA

Yuna (Final Fantasy X/Final Fantasy X-2) has to be one of the cutest Final Fantasy characters ever. When Tidus fell for her you couldn’t help but feel like you was falling too (no matter how sad that sounds).  She was such a great character that she became the main character of the FF10 sequel FFX-2.

1. SEPHIROTH

Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) is the baddest character there is in final fantasy. There isn’t another villain that has managed to capture the deranged and psychotic characteristics that Sephiroth possesses. If Final Fantasy isnt your cup of tea as far as gaming goes, then check out the movie Advent Children, which is an adaption of the Final Fantasy VII story. You will see how great of a character Sephiroth (as well as a lot of the FFVII characters) is.

Remember let us know your thoughts on this topic too, Final Fantasy has had a lot of interesting characters so seeing some more Top 5 lists would be mad cool.

   As he stated in the beginning it is his opinion. Though he need to play them all to get the full experience he is not on the wrong path. Just to list five favs with so many characters is hard to do. Age doesn’t matter much as long as you take the time to play them all regardless which ones you grew up with. I am only 21 and started with FF I on NES and played them all as they came out. A REAL fan will love them all for each of their unique attributes.

   Makeing a list based on category and alignment.

   Villains-
   5.Exdeath V
   4.Cloud of Darkness III
   3.Edea VIII
   2.Kefka VI- Even ending the world his psychotic nature doesn’t compare to #1
   1.Hojo- (as stated by lollerskates) Without him most of the trouble wouldn’t have happened without him in VII. Even though i didnt put Sephiroth, Hojo is the only reason why he is the badass that he is. Reason why he is my favorite is because of all the f*cked up things he did. Killing Vincent then making him into the monster he is not before impregnating Lucrecia Crescent(Vincents love) with sephiroth (his own son whom he only viewed as a specimen). Making cloud into what he is. Enslaving and experimenting on Nanaki(Red XIII). Kidnapping and enslaving Aerith and her mother for 7 years while killing her father Prof. Gast in the process. So in short, if it was a living being it was considered to be anything he could experiment on for his own sick pleasure in the name of science.

   Heroes-
   5.Balthier XII, Locke Cole VI and Yuffie Kisaragi VII -Every now and then you have to a theif or a pirate to spice things up. Each one adds comic relief and extra detail to the story.
   4.Cid Highwind VII- Only cid in the whole series to ever be put in the lead character role ever(when cloud falls into the life stream).
   3.Cecil Harvey IV and Kain IV- They were the beginning of there roles in the series. Lead the way to many other jobs and classes similar in later series. with out these two many of them wouldnt exist.
   2.Cloud Strife,Vincent Valentine and Vivi Oruntitia IX- They all deal with their inner demons throughout the whole game trying to overcome what is tearing them apart inside. Because of this its motivates them to push on and prevent others from feeling their pain.
   1.Nanaki(Red XIII)- One of the most unique characters every put in the FF series, a young we’ll say firecat/wolf, who is the last of his kind. Though they never really publicized him as much as most FF characters (Only because of the lack of fan base) He still is one of the most unique and mysterious FF character ever created.

   There is everyone put in order by Favorite and Pretty much favorite category. Like i said there are so many characters its kinda hard to just name five on a list. Reguardless it wont stop some morons from spewing insults at others opinions. Keep it to yourself and post your own list.
