1st The best character is Freya. Her journey to find Sir Fratley is one that resonates in my heart. When she learns that Fratley has amnesia, it only makes me feel for her character even more. A person would expect her to say forget about it and that she doesn't want to fight anymore, but she goes on and helps her friends and what they are fighting for.

2nd Second place goes to Vivi. What Vivi overcomes to find out who and what he is is another great story. Vivi knows that his time on Gaia is more limited than his friends', and yet he wants to be with them and fight alongside them.

3rd I choose Eiko for third best character. She came into the story later than most characters, but her journey is one that I feel for as well. She is a determined kid who fights to protect the history of summoners, even though only Garnet and herself remain.

4th I had trouble ranking 4th Place. I think that both Zidane and Garnet are worthy of this title. Each of their personal journeys are intertwined with each other's. To learn that Zidane is from Terra, and how he overcomes his destiny to destroy Gaia by saving it. To follow Garnet and her search for truth behind the lies. Each of these stories are ones that I wouldn't mind reading about in a book.

6th Again, it is a tie for 6th Place. Amarant, Quina, and Steiner each have their own stories, own beliefs. I just wish that each of them could've had a bigger role in the game. Maybe more of a solo journey for Steiner. More lines and better lines to speak for Quina. And Amarant could've have been introduced in Disc 1 as a temporary party member to get his story going (Possibly when Dagger's party and Zidane's party separate after the Festival of the Hunt), and then when he comes in later he stays for the long haul.
