ive only played ffx and kingdom hearts, im working on getting into it all.

so yeah...i like auron

Korlin · « **Reply #2 on:** 21 Jan 2005, 06:30 »

Not being one of the retro-FF-ers, I can't comment on the first 6. Otherwise, I'll say Auron, Irvine, Vincent, Garnet and Squall (moody bastard that he was). Rinoa was also very cute.

And Sephiroth was of course excellent.

Trinary · « **Reply #3 on:** 21 Jan 2005, 10:10 »

Shadow.

So hardcore.

happybirthdaygelatin · « **Reply #4 on:** 21 Jan 2005, 11:24 »

Er, favorite playable charecter or any charecter?

Shadow is awesome but I also liked Locke so that's a tie. I'm partial to the Turks in 7. What was the name of the gun slinger in 8, I remember playing for several hours before realizing the gun slinger was suppose to be a dude.

Tearon · « **Reply #5 on:** 21 Jan 2005, 11:49 »

The FF8 guy is Irvine.

My favorite is either Sephiroth or Vincent.

One of them has a backstory that dosent make me laugh from the stupid mistakes in the plot.

The other has a reallly big katana and a theme song.

AbsolootGeek · « **Reply #6 on:** 21 Jan 2005, 13:48 »

since it's entirely too hard to narrow it down to just a few from all the games, i'm gonna list some from individual games.

ff2 (4) - kain and fusoya were my favorite playable, and golbez was an awesome villain.

ff3 (6) - locke, shadow, and mog for playable. general leo for non-playable (oh i was so pissed off when he died).

ff7 - red XIII, vincent, and, of course, sephiroth as the coolest. villain. EVER.

ff9 - vivi, for ironically being the most human among the cast. i'm also partial to freya.

chrono trigger - frog and magus both have an extreme coolness factor.

Digs · « **Reply #7 on:** 21 Jan 2005, 16:38 »

Argh. I'll pick a villain and a hero. Kefka and Squall. Magus gets an honourable mention.

jeph · « **Reply #8 on:** 21 Jan 2005, 18:56 »

I really liked the protagonist who wasn't wracked with whiny self-doubt and angst!

What was his name again?

OH WAIT THERE AREN'T ANY

AbsolootGeek · « **Reply #9 on:** 21 Jan 2005, 23:08 »

hehehe... funny, but true. and looking over my list, i don't see any main protagonists. that's probably why.

Kai · « **Reply #10 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 02:05 »

Kefka, because he was really, REALLY, fucking nuts. I mean, he poisoned a town and burned another.

Hoborg · « **Reply #11 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 03:02 »

Tidus didnt have much self-doubt and angst. He was some straight-up california-surfin' dude without a care in the world except to DEFEAT SIN and play blitzball. Which is why every word out of his mouth had something to do with defeating sin or playing blitzball or TOTALLY RADICAL.

Aeris (no im not going to call her Aerith fuck off) was my favorite character probably because I loosely associated her with someone i knew in real life. I cried when she died, I did.

ASturge · « **Reply #12 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 06:26 »

i have to agree, shadow is way hardcore. him and kefka that is!

also, i always thought that wedge and biggs were pretty cool, no matter which side they happended to be on!

Bad Samaritan · « **Reply #13 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 08:20 »

Wedge and Biggs. By far the bestest!

ASturge · « **Reply #14 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 11:45 »

what was the frog in chrono trigger called?

he was a wanker- i wish he had died

Kai · « **Reply #15 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 11:46 »

I think his name was... get this...

Frog.

ASturge · « **Reply #16 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 12:05 »

the bastard.................

Ozymandias · « **Reply #17 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 12:05 »

Kefka and Seifer will always be my favorite characters.

Seifer should've been the protagonist of FF8...bloody stupid game...

KID · « **Reply #18 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 22:11 »

VIVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dammit, i don't care what anyone says, IX was the best fucking game ever, and vivi was awesome. can't belive i'm the only one....

oh wait, AbsolootGeek said he liked him...

AbsolootGeek · « **Reply #19 on:** 22 Jan 2005, 22:31 »

yeah! vivi rocks! he should have a game by himself. i'd sure as hell play it.

Bad Samaritan · « **Reply #20 on:** 23 Jan 2005, 10:15 »

Sorry, but IX was far from the best. Tha rankings for FF go like this.

1: FFT
2: FF8
3: FF7
4: FFX
5: FFIX
6: all the other games.

Ahh, except when considering characters! The overly dry nature of FFT's story drops it a few rankings...
Character-wise, the rankings SHOULD be

6: FFT
5: FF8
4:FF9
3:FFX
2:FF7
1:FF6

That's right... 6 takes it. And Kefka ROCKS. Anyone who denies it denies themselves any kind of old-school cred.

Yah, charachter wise, FF6 Rules over all. But with downright play-againability, FFT crushes all resistance.

ASturge · « **Reply #23 on:** 23 Jan 2005, 13:44 »

yeah, thats true. tactics hooked me for years. ff6's characters were so great. i loved shadow and locke!

Bad Samaritan · « **Reply #24 on:** 23 Jan 2005, 13:46 »

Yah. Old-school FF had better charachters. But the new games are just so much more fun to play! So many more options!

But FF X2 should be launched into deep space and forgotten. Even though a more intellignet species might consider that an ac of war.

unknowner · « **Reply #25 on:** 23 Jan 2005, 15:02 »

FFX2 DIDN'T HAPPEN. Just like SW Episode 1. By simply denying their existence (except to tell others about this concept), they no longer enchroach upon the franchises that we love and cherish!

Green Goblin · « **Reply #26 on:** 23 Jan 2005, 18:20 »

Frog and Magus from Chronno Trigger, without a doubt

Jamoky · « **Reply #27 on:** 23 Jan 2005, 18:43 »

sephiroth and cloud. easy.

any and all black mages and cactuars get honorable mentions.

It occurs to me that Chrono was incapable of whining, or he damn well might have. Seemed pretty manly, insofar as you can be, dressed like that.

As manly as any other Akira Toriyama charecter concept...oh...

IronOxide · « **Reply #32 on:** 31 Jan 2005, 17:01 »

I will list, as that is what makes the kids cool these days.

FFI: The Monk, he looks freakin' sweet.
FFII: Not far enough to tell yet
Jump In the games I played.
FFVII: Yuffie, come on people
FFVIII: Selphie
FFIX: Vivi, hands down
FFX: Rikku
FFX-2: Payne
FFT: The Mime (as a class, the characters are iffy)
FFTA: Everyone but Monblanc, I hate that loser.
Final Fantasy Unlimited (The anime): Cholby, if that's how you spell it.

There... That's how I see it.

Jeph really was right, though. The heroes are kind of whiny, but it's the circumstance that makes them endearing.

I Am Not Amused · « **Reply #33 on:** 31 Jan 2005, 17:16 »

1.) Squall
2.) Tidus
3.) Sora
4.) Riku
5.) Sephiroth
6.) Vincent

FF6 can go to hell, I hate it.

Jiperly · « **Reply #34 on:** 31 Jan 2005, 22:25 »

I know I said it before......but isn't it Square-Enix now?

But i don't play FF, so i dunno what character i like the most......whose that blonde one that has a bunch of pornos of her? I like her the best......oh yes.....she gets the job done....

jeph · « **Reply #35 on:** 31 Jan 2005, 22:31 »

If you don't play any FF games, why bother posting in this thread?

I'm not a superfluity Nazi, but consider your signal to noise ratio please.

Goat · « **Reply #36 on:** 01 Feb 2005, 06:41 »

I liked Tidus. Mainly because he dies at the end of FFX. There is no FFX-2 shut up.

Aeris dies in FF7.

Oh, and Darth Vader is Lukes father.

Sometimes spoilers just stop being used for something, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Wildonnie · « **Reply #39 on:** 02 Mar 2005, 10:49 »

FF 1- Monk
FF 2- Golbez
FF 3- Locke, Shadow, and Kefka (oldie but goodie bad guy)
FF 7- Cloud, Sephiroth
FF 9- Vivi (and all his kids, too)
FF10- Khimari (less is more)
FFT- Ramza
Xenosaga- KOSMOS and Jr. (don't you think Albedo is a cheap knockoff of Kefka? He tries so hard and fails so completely in the whole maniacal laugh and merging-with-superpower thing)

Actually, if you watch all the credits at the end of FFX, you may get a surprise.

Kefka was indeed a totally sweet maniac. However, his mania was put to shame by the utter awesome-osity of Sephiroth. You can't play an MMORPG these days without seeing at least 25 variations on his name. So perhaps he's a little too popular, but he is awesome.

Cloud was cool cuz of his sword, but other than that he might as well have been Crono, since he didn't really do anything. As far as oversized-sword wielders, Auron takes the big FF cake. Auron was not only sweet to use in-game, but he had some of the coolest lines. For an overdrive he used to say "Pray...NOW" Thats SWEET!

On a more personal note, all you guys know that you lost your girlfriend when Sephiroth puts his sword through Aeris. I played the game after all my friends did, and I brought up the fact that she died in class right after I played it (I was 16) and they all looked at me and said, "Hey man, I'd rather not talk about it. I'm still pretty upset." I have Aeris' theme on my computer, and I play it every once in a while when they're around and watch their faces. It gets em every time!

Ozymandias · « **Reply #41 on:** 02 Mar 2005, 11:56 »

Sephiroth was lame.

Seriously.

Sure, he looks badass and has a neat sword, but his motivation was lame and his biggest moment was killing Aeris.

So what?

KEFKA BLEW UP THE GODDAMN WORLD!

Kefka > Sephiroth.

Zidane. His name was Zidane.

Climbing up a ladder, he grabs the female protagonist's butt.

"Ooh... soft!"
"AAAAH!"

And that is why Zidane is the best FF hero ever.

wraithzero · « **Reply #43 on:** 03 Mar 2005, 03:29 »

Yeah, but he got some angst later on.
It didn't last that long, but still.

spazworrier · « **Reply #44 on:** 03 Mar 2005, 10:38 »

That guy from Vagrants Story, Cecil from FF4, X-Death or Bartz (also know as Butz) from FF5, Shadow from FF6, Zell from FF8, Vivi from FF9 and Auron or Lulu from FF10.

Hotlinking doesn't seem to work...

As for Zidane's angst... he does angst a little bit, but that was just a ploy to get in Dagger's knickers, and it was just that one scene.

Quina! I mean, come on. S/he was genderless as we could tell, couldn't speak english for shit and travelled with you for the sole purpose of FOOD. If thats not a great character I don't know what is.

seriously though, Locke is a great character and Zidane was definently a good character. The aforementioned "ooh, soft..." bit rules too.
