Yesterday, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII came out in North America. And as per usual, it brought talk about Final Fantasy as a series and the direction it was going in, for better and for worse.
I don't want to talk about that today.
Instead, I want to use the release of what I suspect is roughly the 80th game in series history to celebrate what is often considered peoples' favorite non-musical part of the series: the characters.
Using a similar set of rules as in the Most Wanted feature, post your FIVE favorite characters from ANY Final Fantasy game. This includes main series titles, sequels to main series titles, Tactics, Crystal Chronicles, that mobile phone game released only in Japan, you name it! So long as Final Fantasy is in the title or you can otherwise convince me it's a part of the Final Fantasy series, like the Chocobo games, it counts.
Note that characters that appear between canons do NOT count as individual characters. For example, Cid in Final Fantasy 4 is not the same character as Cid in Final Fantasy 7. That said, this means you can vote for multiple characters with the same name. Just be sure to list which game a character comes from.
Also, if you feel like it, explain why you voted for these characters. That way, when I tally the results, I'll be able to explain things better.
Voting will last until either Saturday evening or until people stop voting, whichever comes second.
Vote away!
Love and tolerate.
