Which XII Characters were most Important?

[Locke4God]

In what Order would you rank the importance of each main FFXII character?


I'll explain below, but I'll go

1. Ashe
2. Balthier
3. Vaan
4. Basch
5. Fran
6. Penelo

Ashe - Well there's not much of a story without her. She's kinda driving the action in most cases, or at least is the reason for most of what takes places

Balthier - Well he's actually driving the action, always outspoken, always leaderly, always with inside information and resources

Vaan - I couldn't place him lower, because he's technically the lead character and who's eyes your looking through. Plus he's pretty good anyway

Basch - I kinda want to rank him higher, because he's immensely important, but in the end, he's not the leader that Balthier is, he's not as important as Ashe, and he's not the point of view character that Vaan is.

Fran - Starting with Fran, we're kind of at back up roles, however Fran is very powerful as a Mage, and with only Ashe as another true Mage, you really need Fran

Penelo - I played her as a range weapon specialist and backup mage, and sorta somebody to fill in if I needed a lineup change or somebody with full HP or magic.
