Well, if my searching skills prove me right, it's been quite some time since this cliche question has been asked. With so many new faces since then (Including myself) as well as new Final Fantasy titles released, I thought it would be nice to see everyone's thoughts! So the question is, who is your favorite male and female character?

Male-For me, it's hard battle between two companions. Kain and Cecil. In the end I have to say Kain just because he was the first Dragoon I ever played. His outfit was cool, and he was flawed which made him more human for me.

Female-I had trouble here as well between Terra and Rydia, but in the end I have to go with Terra. FF6 is my favorite title, and Terra was a huge reason behind that. Her struggles and resolve in the end was what made this title sing.

So, who's your favorite Final Fantasy character? Can't decide on just one? Well, let us know!

Male: I'm gonna have to go with Steiner. He's the center of the comedic elements in the game more often than not, and in what I consider the funniest game in the series that means a lot. He also is really admirable in his devotion to Garnet and he has a great story arc and development in his relationships with all of the characters.

Female is harder. I'd like to give it to Lightning but the game just didn't give her a great opportunity to shine and develop :/
Quistis and Celes are my other top contenders for this. All of the girls I picked are really strong for the most part and Celes and Quistis both have really interesting stories.
I think I'm going to have to give it to Quistis. I'm really glad they put her on the machine gun instead of the random soldier like they initially had ^__^ that was pretty epic.
If VI got an HD remake or remaster though my decision might be completely different for both guy and girl.

Male - Tidus: He just has this 'come on guys, if we're going to take a shoot at this, we gotta go full swing' aura about him...He's willing to leave nothing behind and just give it everything he's got.

Female - Lightning: She's cool, calm, not really flirtatious (girls like that are pretty annoying) and she's packing a gunblade Tongue (it might also have something to do with the pink hair...I like girls with anime hair colours i.e. Blue, Pink, Green etc.)

Male - Zack Fair, he is a funny character, he cares a lot for his friends and is a 1st class soldier xD, he did what he believed it was right until the end...his death was just so sad T_T

Female - Lighting, for the same reasons Varnis said, and she has a hidden gentle side Big Grin

I adore Steiner from FFIX. I love that lug's goofy armor and barrel chested character design and the "clinkity clank" sounds he makes while walking around are HILARIOUS. Not only that, but his steadfast dedication to duty and country are to be commended. He is the perfect blend of humor and respectability in my opinion.

I guess my favorite female FF character is Porom from FFIV. I always found the duo of Palom and Porom to be irresistable in the first FF title that I ever played. I love how she always struggles to keep Palom in check with rivalrous dialogue and childish bickering.

I really seem to be drawn to the funny characters... haha.

@Thundaga: Great choices. I agree that Stiener is definitely awesome. I just got a kick out of hearing that armor clank no matter where he went. Good ol' rusty. As for Lightning, I agree. With as much admiration as she had from her fellow soldiers, I wish they would visit her past as a soldier. Maria.. I mean Celes.. was a pretty solid character in 6. Especially her break from being a general to becoming a rebel leader. Quistis, awesome but scary.

@Varnis: Ooch Tidus, good pick. While he wasn't my favorite, his sacrifice puts him pretty top notch no matter how you cut the cake. I see another vote for Lightning. I agree Pink Hair and a gunblade is hard to top ^_^

@Roxas21691: You got me there. Zack was solid, especially for those of us lucky enough to experience Crisis Core. Ending had me all in a train wreck. Also, another vote for Lightning! Think we'd have a winner by now if we had a poll.

@YouLovePatrick: I see another fan of the clanky armor that is Steiner! Good stuff. I adored Palom and Porom! I especially liked the ability they gave to the later FF4 for Porom, Cry. Laugh every time I use it.

Good choices everyone!

Male: can't really be decided. I love Kefka as well as Sephiroth (villains rule!). As to the heroic side: it's the leading man, Balthier. He's just awesome.

Female: where are the awesome females?!? Tongue ... I guess that one goes to Fang. I just love her guts. Wink

Male: gonna have to go with the drag queen himself, Cloud. He was one of my favorite characters as a teen, and as I recall, many girls wanted him LOL

Female: Terra... Call me strange, but one of the things I've always liked about her were her emerald locks. That, and I always find the scene where she meets Edgar hilarious Big Grin

for male characters I think I'm going to have to go with Zidane, I just loved the fact that he wasn't always brooding throughout the entire game, that and he was just a very well written character in my opinion, and for female character I'm going to have to go with Terra, I'm just a sucker for green hair, and I always thought the scene where the party gets introduced to Sabin to be rather funny.
