looking back i've poured thousands of hours into the final fantasy series. and sure, the cast of characters all generally fit into predictable archetypes: reluctant hero, obnoxious weebo girl, silent badass, and so forth. but we still love 'em. and some characters truly break that mould. so what ff characters do you really like, and why?
auron i think is an underrated badass. his voice actor absolutely nailed the role: he's equal parts vulnerable, wise, battle-hardened, noble. this bro takes his promises seriously, given that he willed himself to continue quasi-living after death.
vivi: underrated and totally awesome. if you don't love vivi you have no heart. period.
love my nigga barrett. the guy is just cool. usually environmentalists are giant pussies, but barrett is into some extreme shit. he doesn't parade like a tool with a sign, he fights the man with a gun grafted onto his arm.
lulu: she's got pretty sexy polygonal boobies, and she's actually a strong female lead. lightning was contrived: it felt like the story writers were begging me to accept her as a strong female character, but lulu has no need for similar theatrics. she just comes of that way, it's sorta subtle.
kimhari: i know i know a lot of ffx love, but he's just cool. and the scene where he smiles after yuna and tidus kiss is priceless.
balthier: character development is not a strong point of ff12, but balthier is just smooth.
irvine: i think this guy is pretty cool, a legit ladies man.
anyways, there are definitely more, but this is what i feel like writing for now.
i actually don't find the cloud/sephiroth love affair that played out, but i really hope that no "edgy" old school users list ff6 or ff4 characters. you might have to readjust your rose-tinted glasses because most of the characters from early ffs are kinda terrible, even kefka. although ff13, we can all agree, has the worst cast. only ff i never finished. in fact, you're free to talk about characters you hate for whatever reason.
