#1 Squall. Squall is genuinely baffling in how terrible he is. I've never seen a character who is so boring be so illogical and despicable at the same time. I seriously don't understand how anyone can tolerate him, let alone think he's a good character.

A guy who keeps himself to himself, put in situations were he has to interact with others that he doesn't want and given roles he doesn't want. He has to break out of his self imposed shell to overcome his own issues to not think about himself anymore but others. This can be seen by the change in amount of inner monolog at the start of the game to to hardly any nearer the end of the game.

Very clever characterisation compared to other FF characters.

Alas, opinions are opinons. I'm more wondering why Cloud isn't on the poll list?

The problem with that scenario is it's almost inherently boring. Watching a character pretty much ignore everyone the entire game isn't very interesting, especially when the characters he is ignoring aren't interester either. And when he stops, it's like someone flipped a switch; there was no appropriate transition. I recall a certain point in the game, when a certain character is hanging for dear life over a ledge, Squall does just about everything short of ironing his pants before finally deciding to do something about it.
