Retrouprising's Top 20 Final Fantasy Characters

[samejamesbond]

Becase the Street Fighter list worked very well, I though I should create one that
appealed to the whole site; a top 20 Final Fantasy Character list.

Rules:
1. Maximum 20
2. Minimum 5
3. Every Final Fantasy Spinoff is fine (ex: Zack Fair or Chocobo) except Kingdom
Hearts (ex: Sora or Roxas)
4. 1 is highest, 20 is lowest.

My Top 20:

20. Vincent Valentine
19. Zidane Tribal
18. Faris Scherwiz
17. Sephiroth
16. Setzer Gabbiani
15. Chocobo
14. Yuna
13. Rinoa Heartilly
12. Vivi Orunitia
11. Laguna Loire
10. Terra Branford
9. Cecil Harvey
8. Firion

[Demon-Mask]

He did make a serious list.
Can you read this:

[Dudebro]

Stop putting game stuff in debate. Why is this confusing for some people? Video game debates are not controversial and they really aren't even debates. It's more like "I love character A because his hair is so spiky and stuff" "Well I like character B because he sliced a sun in half!!!1". That make sense to everyone?

[Demon-Mask]

Makes sense to me.

[Dudebro]

Sorry if that sounds a little harsh but it gets annoying to see random game related topics in a section it obviously doesn't belong in.

[Kong]

Plus if random person is looking for stuff about Final Fantasy they will probably look in game sections, not the debate section.

[samejamesbond]

Sorry guys, guess I wasn't thinking.

[Kugyince]

Is my list invalid? I didn't see anywhere in the rules that said I couldn't vote for a character more than once.

[samejamesbond]

Sorry, I forgot to add that rule.
May you make a list without repeating anyone?

[OmegaShadow]

20.Gestahl
19.Gau
18.Relm
17.Setzer
16.Yang
15.Edgar
14.Edge
13.Golbez
12.Rosa
11.Celes
10.Sabin
9.General Leo
8.Cyan
7.Cecil
6.Locke
5.Rydia
4.Kain
3.Kefka
2.Terra
1.Shadow

[Dudebro]

Why Gestahl? I don't think he was a bad character or anything but I don't see how he'd be on anyones list.

Also is Gao a character I never heard of or do you mean Gau?

[OmegaShadow]

Yeah, I meant Gau. I fixed it now. And I just put Gestahl there as a filler because I couldn't think of anyone else that I liked at the moment.

Ive only played through the first six in the series (except for 2) and haven't played anything after that, so there are a lot of characters I don't know who are.

[Dudebro]

Yeah your list definitely looks like you've only played the older games. No offense it's just not often do you see a FF list without the newer characters, FF7+. From your list I can tell you've played some of the best in the series, you ain't missing a lot really.

I just put Gestahl there as a filler because I couldn't think of anyone else that I liked at the moment.

You put him in as filler over people like Tellah or Cid?! It's all for fun but I just noticed those two missing and figured there might be a reason.

I can't make a list if it isn't in ranked order.
(AKA put the lists together and make a top 20)

Switch Rydia with Auron and I think that's a good top ten.
