Oh, dear. Y'know, I'm in the belief that every game in the series after VII sucked, and there are a LOT of protagonists in the series that I hate. However, I did quite enjoy IV and VI...
Favorite: Locke. I think his story is fascinating; he displays a chivalrous, unafraid treasure hunter attitude, when on the inside, he's quite insecure and is struggling in various ways - the world is in some ways counting on him, he must choose between his wife and Celes, he feels responsible for his wife's "death". The depth of his character isn't really exposed too much in the game, but it doesn't take much thought to realize.
Least favorite: Tidus. He was literally always, always whining. He has this perception that the whole saving of the world revolves around him, but in reality, he's not that important. I just hated everything about him, and also about X.
Let the hate mail come in.

Favorite: Squall Leonhart: "Why?", you're probably asking. Well, honestly, I find him endearing and empathetic. His struggles with abandonment, duty, and right and wrong were my own. Plus, his skepticism is very refreshing compared to the incurable and often illogical optimism of the typical series protagonist.
Least Favorite: Vaan. Put on a shirt dude, you wanna be a sky pirate, but you don't always want people up in your booty.
Honorable Mentions for Favorite: Cloud, Zidane, and Terra.
Dishonorable Mentions for Least Favorite: Everyone in the X sub-series, especially Yuna and Riku as they appear in X-2. Butz (just for his name). The Figaro brothers.

THANK YOU! THAT'S WHY EVERYONE ELSE IN THAT GAME IS AN IDIOT!antipope said:
I thought I was the only one who understood that aspect of FFVIII.

Least Favorite: Squall
I liked the arc that Tidus had. Young, up and coming athlete with a mysterious father discovers a strange world. His father his kind of a bad guy and Auron is one of the best supporting characters in any final fantasy narrative ever.
Squall was a hero, yes, but all he did through most of the story was piss and moan about having to be a hero. If he hated it so much then he could have stopped and just let Laguna take over. Because Laguna was a boss.
That would be Quina. I liked him/her though, if only for his/her blue magic abilities. Also yes: that's FF-IXGennadios said:

Favorites: Vivi, Steiner, Laguna, Mog and, Cecil. Vivi is simply awesome. Steiner is your classic moron-with-good-intentions. Laguna is kind of like Snow only he succeeds where heroics are concerned. Mog is the only Moogle you can control in a traditional Final Fantasy. Ever. Cecil has the coolest arc, going from Dark Knight to Paladin.
Least Favorites: The cast of FF-XIII except for Sazh. I can't really think of any other protagonists I disliked. I could tolerate just about everyone else except for Hope, Vanille, Snow, Lightning and, the rest of the cast of that game.
Least favorite: The entire cast of 12 (I simply didn't give a shit about any of them), Squall, and Hope.
Favorites: Locke, Celes, Terra...actually everyone from 3/6 cept for the ditto and yeti hidden characters, Auron, Zidane, Vivi, Cid, and props to Rikku for being your typical japanese stereotype but not going to far and being interesting enough to enjoy as a character. Way to walk the line square enix.

Only because if they made Balthier the main playable character it would be too much like glorifying piracy. But yeah, Vaan is completely not interesting.Shirokurou said:
Well the most experience I've had with Final Fantasy is by playing Dissidia so from that game;
Best: Zidane (Followed by Squall)
Worst: Cloud (Followed by Tidus)
