Oh boy, here we go. There are so many characters in this game it's unbelievable, but most of them were so good that it made for one of the very best titles in the series. Rank them however you like, but maybe a combination of personality, usefulness, and relevance to the story. Here's my pics.
14. GOGO - I don't know where to begin with this one. Necessary? No. Useful? Not really. Ummmm,,, yeah.
13. MOG - Because ya know,, in the end I guess he was a little useful, but didn't really bring much to the table.
12. Gau - Some of you may hate me for putting him this low. I did find him tragic, but good lord I hated his abilities beyond measure, and i hid him for the entire game. I'll rank him ahead of Mog for his backstory alone, but uhg.
11. Umaru - WOW, I mean I found it intriquing that you saw him early in the game, but couldn't get him until later, and while he had really no story to speak of, how crazy strong was this dude? I loved having him later on in the final dungeons.
10. Relm - I mean, she's cool, and with the "who's" her father angle she worked and was interesting in how she fit in the why people have magic story, but meh overall in ability. Ya know?
9. Strago - Kind of the same story as Relm really. A little more useful though.
8. Shadow - You know I really want to rank him higher, especially with a side, but interesting backstory, and the "choice" that must be made about him, but ultimately, and depending on the choice, he just wasn't around enough to get to love him as much as some of the others. Though I do enjoy him. I've got to make the right "choice" next time.
7. Setzer - And again, I almost want to rank him higher, but he is sort of an outsider in the way that Shadow is. Well he's a little more connected to the meat & potatoes of the story, and he's useful, and gets really strong near the end, but not quite a main eventer in the tale.
6. Locke - Now we're getting the cream of the crop, and this guy is kind of the advertized male lead of this game, sorta. He plays a good part, has some interesting background connections, but perhaps doesn't have quite the strongest connection to the core of the tale as some of the others. At least like,,,,
5. Cyan - His entire civilization wasn't destroyed. I really love this guy. Powerful & fun, and I really enjoyed his part at the begining of the World of Ruin.
4. Celes - She's sort of an oldschool Edea, only part of your actual team, and more of a warrior. If you've played you may know what I mean, but she is definately a big influence both in power and background insite into what is going on.
3. Sabin - Along with the guy at number 2 these guys were two halfs of a very big coin. Regal, influential, powerful, and just commanded a large presense within the game from start to finish.
2. Edgar - Was really the most powerful male in the game. He could really do it all, was the king of the primary oppositions land, and I mean what else do you need to know?
1. Terra - WAS THE GAME! She represented the goal of the Evil Empire, the connection to the planets deep history, the use of magic, the idea of defining ones personality, the internal struggle of power and responsibility, the internal struggle of power and control, love, fear, everything. SHE WAS THE GAME!
