I just had a couple of games that I found this question interesting for. 9 was one since a lot of the backup characters wound up with a lot of pub, but 10 is another. Characters like Auron & Wakka wound up doing well for themselves I thought, so how would you rank the (Main) characters of 10?
I go like this,,,
1. Auron - The guy makes my top 6 all-time FF character list. That's how slick and cool he was. He was powerful, I loved his voice over. His backstory was tragic and heroic. I particularly loved comparing how much his personality had matured between the flashbacks and his in game character. I truly loved this guy.
2. Yuna - She was the lead of this game for me, moreso than Tidus, although it's close. She was one of the very strongest female leads, and though she came off as shy and unassuming, just consider that she was prepared to sacrafice more than any other character in the series and she knew it from the beginning.
3. Wakka - It's close between Wakka and Tidus, but I loved Wakka more. He had a pretty unique ability within the series, was very strong and provided a more upbeat perspective on the "everybody is going to die" kinda vibe that was happening. Plus the whole turn of events dealing with Yevon really hit him hardest and he was the one who we saw the effects through. He let us in on what it would be like to have your world shatter around you.
4. Tidus - It's hard to rank him higher, given he is the lead, and he capable and strong i guess I just wished the chosen one to be Sin hadn't been a blitzball player of all things. I mean, why was Jecht involved anyway? Why not somebody like a dream that was connected Yevon itself. I don't know, where to go with that, but Tidus just didn't really seem to fit much at all, and I know that was the point, but still.
5. Lulu - Now Lulu I'd actually love to rank higher and I think she is the character that really bolsters this overall cast. She's so dark and dreary, and other than VIVI, in FF9 is one of the only clear cut black mages in the series. I love with her morose personality how she wound up falling in love, and really she's actually quite respectable and likeable. I enjoyed her.
6. Kimarhi - Ya know,,, these last two could have been more, but I get it. If they were the last 2 of a cast of 8 or 9 characters the cast overall would be stellar, but Kimarhi only rarely showed flares of importance within the game. I did love his stone breath and mimic abilities overall though. It was difficult to find a good line on the grid for him though.
7. Rikku - On the occassion where she got to deactivate a machine, she was useful, but other than that I wasn't overly excited about her. She did make sense within the plot and all, so not useless or meaningless, but she just wasn't one of my all time faves.
