Favorite FF Character
 

Tetsuya Nomura is rather genial in my perspective, he designed each character with a perfect talent. There are several reasons to like a character: appearance, personality, skill, etc. My curiosity led me to ask; who's your favorite character and why? :roll:

I'm the ultimate Sephiroth Fan and no one shall overthrow me! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! *coughs...* anyway...

Sephiroth has become my favorite character in any video game ever! My obsession for him had resulted in collecting whatever i can find of him (Dolls, statues, keychains, wallscrolls, and cards) Making my own Sephiroth costume for Cosplay (my squall one is much better, but we wont get into that) Playing him in several rpgs, and voicing his mother Lecrecia in an online FF7 radio ^_^ .. along with a website fully dedicated to him https://fly.to.SeraphimSephiroth/ (dont get peeved if some of the links dont work, the server when down and I lost most of my files.. so you just gotta wait till I upload them again!!)

I loved Sephiroth from the first moment I layed eyes open him. He was deffinatly Final Fantasy's greatest villian... though i dont like calling him a villian since this truely wasnt the case. The man was being controled by Jenova to do her evil bidding.. just as Jenova controled Cloud to give Sephiroth the black Materia.. Jenova ran the show, causing havoc upon the planet, using our poor Sephy like..dare I say.. A puppet. Its awful to actually look back and think what sort of life Sephiroth lived.. never being loved by anyone.. stuck in a lab with a deranged psycho-path named Hojo, pumped with mako and the cells of a alien from another world and thrown into a training camp to become a SOLDIER. So not only do i love him as a character, I feel sorry for him. Can you not blame him for going completely balistic at Nibelhiem? His will drove him to find out the truth about his past, but with the mixture of jenova within him, turned his true purpose into something much more sinister.

So why you ask could I and the rest of the Sephy Fans out there love this misunderstood creature? For one, he is a person most wish they could be.. Strong, intelligent, good-looking... He made it to general of the ShinRa army and crushed the people of Wutai.. SOLDIER First Class.. what every boy on the FF7 planet wanted to be.. Strong and bold like their hero Sephiroth. Some other fans will tell you they like him cause he's a BAD BOY... true, lots of girls go for the rebel who strikingly good-looking and lives by his own rules... But it all depends on what YOU, the fan, see Sephiroth as... He could be a sweet loving person on the inside, someone crying out for attention, a bad boy villian with a black heart and a taste for blood, or even just a weak lost little boy with no home to go to.. You decide.

I for one believe Sephiroth was kind once... but the years of lonelyness and rejection, and the loveless care that was given to him, made him a hard shell, to which no one could break...Hate and anger for how he was treated all those years ago, fuming and burning on the inside til Jenova allowed him to release his anger in the wrong place, at the wrong people... all the people of the planet. I for one will always blame Jenova for the cause of all this.. she started it all, right from the beginning.. She struck the planet with its unhealing wound, she killed the cetra which were Aeris's family, she brough death and destruction upon the land... so if you hate anyone from FF7, hate Jenova.. not the man who she made the planet hate.. Thank you.

Auron, he was wise, older, more experienced, intelligent, outspoken, kept his arm in his sleev and drank who knows what sort of alcohol in his jug, wore cool shades, was a hard hitting S.O.B. and was just clearly the man.

Too hard for me to choose one. Cloud, Cid (FFVII), Vincent, Squall, and Auron.

Kimarhi is my fav, nuthin much to say just kicks some butt, and takes names. and hes loyal

CLoud, Sephiroth, ZIdane, and Auron! Can't choose just one.

Chang of characters, Cloud ain't my favorite anymore. I like Tidus now.

0===(======================>

To be forgotten is worse than death...

yeah, i like tidus too

Once again I have to say Freija Crescent from FFIX, but she's not Nomura's creation. In fact FFIX characters are Amano's creation (you can easily recognize Amano's characters because they show an higher dose of originality than Nomura's ones, for the simple reason that Amano is an artist while Nomura is a great character designer). The reason I like her so much? Even if she's a "secondary" character, she's got a fascinating story and personality. Plus, I loved her presence in my party. In brief, that's all.

Now that I really think about it I'll have to narrow it down to Cloud or Zidane. Personally I think Sephiroth is a mix of the first and third things he could be that Seraphim mentioned.

I like Vincent Valentine because he always seems so mysterious and he has the coolest weapons.:ghost: Either him or Cloud.

If with "character designer" you simply mean the person who actually gives the models to be used for the games creators, you're right artist. Despite the general meaning of the words "characters designer", I've read somewhere (interview or a similar source when the game was still to be released) that in FFIX Amano had an important and fundamental role in the planning and creation of the characters of the game. Which also explains why for some FF games there are several detailed artworks for each character by Amano (like the mentioned FFIX) while for other FF games, like FFVIII or FFX there are only few of them.

I've never played Tactics and didn't know it had a plot.

I would have to pick Yuna. I liked her a lot in X and even more so with the new look in X-2. Iono, but I seem to like her the most. She is just cool.

I thinik i would have to say cloud.... i mean hands down the best FF charactrer outthere...omnislash all i can say about that is devistating.

I like Yuffie from Final Fantasy VII. She has a cheeky personality and she's also a cutie. But I like her weaponary the most. She's a pretty useful character in battles when equipped with the Conformer.

Why does no one talk about tactics my favrite was delita as well so cool

The best of all time is Cloud. Who had their whole neighboor die, bestfriend die(all though there was no blood iwas very emotional) meet 7 new friends, defeat a mega-coglomerate and mack the ladies all the way to top? CLoud Strife my friends. Not to mention all his cameos in other Square-Enix games.(Square, Squaresoft)

gotta go with Kain Dragoon. Cecil couldn't have done it without him.

fac FF character(s) has got to be sephiroth squall siefer vincent and that busty babe lulu oh yeaa giggity giggty

little off but i couldnt seem to get that omnislash to work like he wont learn the move ive played that game like 200 hours and gotten all my peoples to max and he and only him just wont accept the 4 level its really kinda pissin me off ya know

Cid Highwind from Final Fantasy 7....He's just the terd....he'd be the crap, but I'm the crap, well, LeCrap.

i like tidus and yuna they r soo cute together :happy:

I am a big Squall fan.


_RED_ stuff

i like tidus he's hot, squall he's hot too and i like yuna & rikku cause their tha best!!!!!

Ff Vi
 

I can't believe no one has mentioned any characters from VI except one person who chose Relm. I have played every single final fantasy that was released in America except XI and VI is hands down my favorite. There is no other game in the world let alone the series that tops it for me. Locke was always my favorite character. A thief with morals or treasure hunter as he would prefer it but he was so badass. He had such a carefree personality, was always the one to lighten the mood, and this is after the love of his life loses her memory because of him, completely forgets him, and causes him to leave his hometown. Edgar was pretty awesome too. As was Cyan. VI was the best game because it had no real main character. Terra is the closest to a main character if you absolutely HAD to pick one. But the only reason for that is because she started the chain reaction that led to the game. ANyway, VI was great because you could pick anyone as your favorite and make him the main character. For example, VIII was a great game but Squall was not that nice of a person. He was not Zidane or Tidus. Those guys had fun. Because of Squall's personality, it put a major damper on the game for me. But because of the cersatility of VI's people, anyone could be the main character. Whoever you liked the most.

Well... I'm sure nobody can guess my favourite character... :right: Yes, it's Amarant, because:

(i) He's in the best FF ever,
(ii) He doesn't like Zidane (which, in my opinion, is a good thing),
(iii) No Mercy roolz,
(iv) I have a tendency to like moody characters (some of my other favourites include Cecil, Shadow, Vincent, Squall, Auron, Lulu and Paine...), and,
(v) He's just generally muchos cool.

...

btw, this is my first post so... Hi everybody!

Hi! welcome! And about not liking Zidane... well, there are worse characters than him in FF, I guess. But I can see some reasons to dislike that little monkey-brat ^^;;

Cloud
1: Has the best looking swords
2: Has the most interesting character build up
