I'm going only by playable characters here:
*The fellers*
Favorites:
1) Golbez (The After Years) - He just seems so dark and badass.
2) Cloud (FFVII) - I like his look and his style.
3) Shadow (FFVI) - In my opinion, the coolest character of FFVI. The dark ninja who works alone.
4) Kain (FFIV) - He was one of the best things about FFIV. I like the fact he's a dragoon (they're cool) and I liked how he changed from good to bad because of being controlled.
5) Zidane (FFIX) - I liked Zidane. It was nice to see a fun, upbeat main character again after the more depressed/closed off Cloud and Squall. He also has one of my favorite Final Fantasy lines, when he touches Garnet's butt and says "Ooh! Soft."
Least favorites:
1) Cait Sith (FFVII) - Most. Annoying. And. Useless. Character. EVER! 'Nuff said.
2) Umaro (FFVI) - He's strong physically, but you can't control him or even equip him. To me, a character you can't control = useless.
3) Vaan (FFXII) - Boring, plain, ugly, generic character with a voice that's just as bad.
4) Hope (FFXIII) - He was like Vaan version 2.
5) Edward (FFIV) - Weak character, both offensively and defensively. And a coward. He was SLIGHTLY better in The After Years, but not by much.
*The ladies*
Favorites:
1) Terra (FFVI) - She was powerful. I liked her personality and the fact she's half esper.
2) Aeris (FFVII) - A really lovable character, sweet, caring and kind. I hated she had to die.
3) Celes (FFVI) - Her beauty struck me (you know, for 16-bit graphics ). But yeah, that plus her backstory was nice.
4) Porom (The After Years) - Porom was alright in FFIV, but when she grew up in The After Years, I really liked her. She was still nice. She is a powerful white mage and I love the pink hair!
5) Garnet/Dagger - A nice, down-to-earth girl. I liked her whole backstory and her character development.
*Honorable mention to Ashe from FFXII. I also just wanna say I've never played FFX or it's sequel, but from the little I've seen, I think I already like Rikku. She's cute and seems...fun. I hear alot of people are annoyed by her, though.
Least favorites:
1) Penelo (FFXII) - Could a character be any more boring and plain?
2) Selphie (FFVIII) - I hated her character and her hair.
3) Krile (FFV) - I found her to be a really uninteresting replacement for Galuf. Not that Galuf was that great, either, but better than Krile.
4) Relm (FFVI) - I don't hate her or anything, just find her pretty uninteresting.
5) Quina (FFIX) - I personally think of Quina as a female, since the name just sounds more like a female name. I hated her on my first playthrough. My second time through, she grew on me a little, but I still have to put a fifth person here and I guess she takes the spot.
