Shion definitely didn't deserve Hall of Shame. I'm not saying she's amazing, but she ain't that bad. Shirley does deserve it fully though, what a piece of shit character she was

Mitsuru is a great pick of best, Celes ain't a bad one either. I'd add Lucretia from Suikoden V there

Ehh. I disagree with Shion Uzuki and the Star Ocean cast.

The best thing about this list....only 1 Final Fantasy character and she isn't from 7!!

Aside from Mitsuru being hot, I didn't see her as anything special. But I didn't complete her S-Link (I wasn't using a S-Link guide and ended up running out of calendar time) so I'm sure I missed some crucial parts of her story. I don't recall some of the things mentioned in her paragraph.

Kaine (from NIER) is certaintly an interesting character. But I think it's dissapointing that they sexed up her character to the extreme (going into battle with nighties and fucking stilettos. What is this Dead or Alive?). Game developers are such nerdy perverts. lol.

Best:  Quina

Worst:  Quina

Hall of Fame:

I wouldn't Shepard since that's a player-proxy and not really a character. i would trade her for Elly from Xenogears. Despite how terrible (and dare I say exploitative) 3rd Birthday is, Aya still deserves to be on the list. Still, a VERY good list.

Honorables:

Again, a very good list. I still need to play all of BG&E. And thanks for the mention of Samus.

Shame:

Oh. My. GOD. I HATE Shion with a PASSION. Not only is she a terrible, emotionally unstable, manipulative, whiny, pushy, petulant, arrogant, spoiled, self-entitled -insert expletive here-, she also CANNOT justify her existence in the storyline and she's BORING. And I STILL can't believe it since the series' spiritual predecessor had Elly who is one of my favorite female characters and her story with Fei is actually IMPORTANT. Shion has NO reason to be in that plot and practically every other character is INFINITELY better written and more complex than she is (seriously, Ziggy, Jin, chaos, and KOS-MOS should have been the entire cast). Either the writers just blew themselves out after one game or it wasn't just them that contributed to the story (and since Kato wasn't on 'Saga, I can't help but be suspicious).

The Star Ocean cast I can't blame them for, but I did like them. I also disagree with Peach, but hey, I guess I can't blame them.

In my opinion, I'd say this.

Best Female Characters:

Chris Lightfellow - Suikoden III

Celes - Final Fantasy VI

Lenneth - Valkarie Profile

Alena - Dragon Quest IV

Ayla - Chrono Trigger

Worst:

Yuffie - Final Fantasy VII

Shion - Xenosaga

Lucia - Lunar 2: Silver Star Story

I totally agree with Lenneth being on the list, after playing VP she's entered my list

Lack of Lucca or Schala offends me.

yaaaay for Celes!!!! Best female FF character evaaar! suicidal tendencies FTW lol.

Chun Li? Good character?
She never said anything in any game, she has no character at all!

And commander sheperd? It isn't a character at all, it is a group of choices...

Celes, Requel, Lenneth and probably Mitsuru are good picks though, don't know the other characters.

Anyway, there are so many more female characters that should've been on that list.
