Okay, I know I suck at ranking things, so I'm only going to ask for a list of ten in any order. What are your top ten favorite secondary characters in FF games? My list is as follows:
Kain
Locke
Auron
Noel
Edge
Sabin
Irvine
Celes
Barret
Cid (FF7)

Vincent Valentine Tifa Lockhart Mog Shadow Kain Highwind Yang Fang Leiden Quistis Trepe Vivi Ornitier Auron Fran Noticed a trend that the first 3 games had almost no memorable characters, and the newest games as well seem to be the less likable and memorable characters as well. Mabey it is the sheer variety of the characters i mean you compare FF6 to FF12. FF6 you had Terra Branford Age: 18 A mysterious young woman controlled by the Empire, and born with magic... Locke Cole Age: 25 Treasure hunter and trail worn traveller, searching the world over for relics of the past... Edgar Figaro Age: 27 The young king of Figaro Castle, ally to the Empire, and master designer of machinery... Sabin Figaro Age: 27 Edgar's twin brother, who traded the throne for his own freedom... Shadow Age:  He owes allegiance to no one, and will do anything for money. He comes and goes like the wind... Cyan Garamonde Age: 50 Faithful retainer to his family's liege, with the courage and strength of a hundred men... Gau Age: 13 Draped in monster hides, eyes shining with intelligence. A youth surviving against all odds... Celes Age: 18 Product of genetic engineering, battle hardened Magitek-Knight, with a spirit as pure as snow... Setzer Gabianni Age: 27 A Black-Jack playing, world traveling, casino dwelling free spirit... Mog Age: 11 Human-loving, fast-talking, street-smart, SLAM-dancing Moogle... Strato Magus Age: 70 An elderly gentleman, pure of heart, and learned in the way of the monsters... Relm Arrowny Age: 10 In her pictures she captures everything: forests, water, light... The very essensce of life... Umaro Age: Admirer of bone-carvings, as strong as a gigas, a sasquatch pal with muscle!... Gogo Age: Really Old (was in FF5) Shrouded in odd clothing,...is it a man...?...a woman...?...or should we ask...?... FF12 by comparison there characters are kinda generic(a princess, disgraced knight, 2 sky pirates, and 2 random kids who only tie in because one of them had an older brother who died), at first i though mabey it was because 6 had so many they were better but i think if you were to pick any 6 in FF6 and compare them to 12 you would find 6 had better all around characters, more interesting for sure at least. |

My list is as follows: Kain Locke Auron Noel Edge Sabin Irvine Celes Barret Cid (FF7) Does this include nonplayable characters? Seen a few people use nonplayable and if that is so it changes up my list a lot lol God i love Gilgamesh so much also a big fan of ultros i like the blend of comedy and action they give. |

Supposed to be playable only, but maybe we should do a list of top 10 NPCs?

There doesn't seem to be a great deal of love for FF4, but I guess he was a memorable enough character. I think it is more a compliment to the Dragoon class he represent, and while there are many other Dragoons he is the character you think of when you think Dragoon(as far as FF goes, i am playing Legend Of Dragoon so that terms has a new meaning for me). I mean just look at his armor his imposing lance he just looks like a bad ass, not to mention he toes the line between good and bad and plays an integral part in FF4 almost as much as a role as the game main hero. Hell if you type FF Dragoon almost all the pictures you will see is Kain because he is essentially the perfect image of the Dragoon class.  As far as Tifa i love her, not just her appearance but everything she stands for. She is strong and smart and tough, she is the only reason Cloud even made it to the end of the game without completely destroying himself in despair. So many people limit her by claiming she is simply fan service but honestly her role in this game as second to only Cloud in terms of impact. Not to mention she is an awesome fighter something many of the other females in the FF games seem to lack as most seem to always fall into the role of healer or magic damage dealer rather then a strong physical fighter.  |

View AttachmentI think the Dragoon class is one of my favorites as well as Dark Knight. Paladin is cool, but I really disliked Cecil's design for it. My history with Tifa is interesting. I didn't really dig her at first. I typically used Aerith because she looked like one of my girlfriends so yeah. Then as I got older I just didn't like her as much. She basically likes Cloud because she reminds her of Zack, that's kind of shitty in a way. I started liking Tifa when I realized how strong of a character she really was. I completely agree with how important she is to the story. She is so patient with Cloud and he's just so wrapped up in Aerith that he completely misses what he has. She deserves a damn metal. You know what, I'm putting her on my list instead of Shadow. By the way, what is that character model of her from? |

You know what, I'm putting her on my list instead of Shadow. By the way, what is that character model of her from? Dissidia is where that model came from, i prefer it more then FF7 as her model in there highlights her boobs too much. I also like her in Advent Children as her model is more realistic. I got nothing against big boobs and the fan service i am sure Japanese developers wanted to give people, but i feel like that image of her with watermelon sized breasts lowers peoples opinion of her as nothing more then fan service rather then the real role she plays. You mean you disliked Cecils class as a Dark Knight? I never carred for the design but i still preferred it more then the Paladan which was kinda bland to me. Shadow i like but am kinda torn between him or Edge, i almost wanted to do Edge as he has more of a back-story then Shadow and in general i found him more likable and sympathetic after what happened to his parents and kingdom. But shadow i liked his look better, as well as Interceptor and some of the story you get for him i found very neat as well. |

Umaro, hands down. (See a pattern here). Vincent Irvine Beatrix Dorgan Kelger Xezat Kain Jecht and... Fran. Oh Fran.... HOW DID I FORGET FRAN?! Ugh, love her! And I was good and only included 2 NPC characters! And I feel like FFIV needs more love, it's one of my favorites. Kain is not only a dragoon but he's a badass! His jump ability does some serious damage. Also I always thought Tifa was just OK, her attacks and limit breaks didn't do much for me. |
