Who is your favorite character [Excluding Cloud]

[scorptatious]

You heard of Final Fantasy from Kingdom Hearts? that's definitely backwards but the series is great so make sure to play as many as you can. as far as my other favorite character i'd go with Cid because he just seems so real to me, kinda has that burnt out personality that really makes him likable. He does also become more of a leader which was good to see someone take charge of that role

Well I did know about the series, but I was never interested in it as a child. I was always into games like Super Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie.

Final Fantasy 7 was the first FF game I played and I'm definetely plan to play some of the others very soon!

I don't hate you for likeing Aeris. She's one of my favorite characters too!

[kupo]

defiantly cid. i played vii later in my "final fantasy career" and was relieved to find a blonde who wasn't a girlie man he's just an all around, spear carrying, badass.

Cid for sure. He's just one of those gruff old timers that just has that bitter attitude about failed dreams down SO perfectly. I also love his love/ hate relationship with Shera, because it just feels real. Later in the game, he really develops into a leader figure, and has some hilarious moments of his own. Plus his limits are pretty badass.

...what he said

[NeoAquarius12]

I would like to say first that Cloud is definitely my favorite (aside from the whole vegetable part of the story)... but as a second, I always lean to Tifa.

First off, she's well connected. She brings all the characters together in the beginning. She has the best possible value for her Limit Breaks. She can be funny (invading Don Corneo's place anyone?), but she is also sweet. I always keep her in my final party (the one with Cloud). Also, she is kind of appealing to my senses.

[BellaTheDead]

I liked the Mysteriousness of Rufus. He had a collective attitude. I loved his appearance in AC. Just a somewhat Anonymous Sexiness if that makes sense.

[cloud strife11]

the best is vincent for sure

[Tortured Soul]

My favorite character has to be either Tifa or Aerith.

[Maddog2212]

I would have to say Cecil when he transfers from the Dark Knight to his Paladin form cause he just turns into such a bada** haha

[Joe]

Would probably be Yuffie, but only because she could get it. And by it, I mean my penis, and by get I mean something you'll eventually learn about in school unless your parents are total prudes.

[loaf]

Cait Sith. Fav character, just to cool. Plays craps to own you and has a slot machine, yells at you and controls a giant mooogle...who both are being controlled from Reeve. Imo one of the most unique characters Square has made. I first liked him when I first heard his theme song.

[Unlucky Rufus]

Barret is my favorite, i've been playing ff7 for as long as i can remember, and i've always had Barret in my party. I love all that random &%@# he says, on top of that his limit breaks are imo the coolest looking.

[Free_Lancer05]

I would go with RedXIII because he looks super cool.....and maybe Cid too because everyone loves a super badass spear =) and his limit breaks are tight as well

[Angel of Iniquity]

I like Tittie ohhhh, I mean Tifa...o.o

[CloudvsLightning]

I love Vincent and Genesis, but Cloud (I can't exclude him 'cause he's too awesome) would come in second and Zack and Sephiroth would come in third.

[flux]

FFVII-Sephiroth,he has a HUGE a** sword and I liked when Aerith/Aeris died

FFVIII-Squall/Leon

They're both very calm most of the time and Sephiroth just has a better history than Squall/Leon.

[Unlucky Rufus]

I would go with RedXIII because he looks super cool.....and maybe Cid too because everyone loves a super badass spear =) and his limit breaks are tight as well

I loved cid's super badass mop.

[Free_Lancer05]

I loved cid's super badass mop.

hey now lol...that mop could kill a man!

[Unlucky Rufus]

i always had the mop on cid, is a nice comic relief to a serious game.

[randy666]

vincent, except i didn't use him that much sephiroth is pretty cool as well

[Jenova]

FFVII-Sephiroth,he has a HUGE a** sword and I liked when Aerith/Aeris died

That's... nice... o.O

My favourite would be Yuffie, I like her weapons, limit breaks, and personality-wise, she's most like me! ^^

[markandrewkinzett]

Cid is the only charcter who even comeS close to Cloud! ClouD is definitely the most awesome charcter in FF7 but as this post is asking without including Cloud it has to be Cid as he is funny (bit of a filthy mouth as well lol!) and he is MEGA HARD when powered up!!!

[Kyster]

Red XIII (Nanaki). He looks badass with the scar on his eye. Also like his story with his father, Sato. It was the deepest moment in FF7 for me, not Aeris' death.

[Final Hearts 69]

Why are we excluding Cloud? Does he have cooties or something?

Well, it's a tie between Sephiroth and Rufus Shinra for me. I really like both of thier roles in the story. Seph, because of his interesting past and my weird obsession with anything that has to do with him, and Rufus because he's just arrogant all the time. He has lightened up a little since the events of the game, but he's still pretty cool.

lol....No it's becuase every one here ...as I believe...like's cloud and would have put him down as their favorite. And I agree with you Cloud is pretty cool.
My favorite FF7 characters -aside from Cloud-are:
1)Vincent Valentine from FF7: Dirge of Cerberus- but you could tell that by my avvy and sig.
2) Zack Fair- FF7: Crisis Core
3)Aerith (Aeris)
4)Sephiroth
5)Cid
6)Red 13
7)Cait Sith
8)Yuffie
9)Tifa

[Xithor]

I would have to go with Vincent. The ominous nature of the character and his natural demeanor really made me like him a lot. I've always liked characters that use guns as weapons (excluding Yuna/Rikku/Paine in FF X-2 lol =p) and even Vincent's back story was very interesting. Great character all-around.

[seanb]

It would have to be Aeris, such an enchanting character...

I liked the minor members of AVALANCHE too though, they were a laugh, like biggs and jessie

[Genesis_787]

My favourite is Genesis (FF C.C) of course. If we're talking just about FF7, then its probably Vincent. His gun is a kick ass weapon.

[LittleBlondeGoth]

Add another one for Vincent.

I adored him from the start - once I got him from the Mansion, he never left my party. The way his back story was hinted at but never fully explained in the game had me intrigued, curious and frustrated in equal measure. But then I've always been a sucker for the mysterious types, and I loved the idea of him being an ex-Turk (since by that point I was also loving Reno and Rude). That and the epic love story with Lucrecia. Whenever I play VII now, I always do the Hojo rooftop showdown as just Vincent, for the sake of poetic justice.

The way they did Vincent's CG for Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus had me taking cold showers, and Steve Blum's VA for him was the icing on the cake.

Also, hi!
