1. I have played: VII (including Crisis Core that made me sob the way I've never sobbed before), VIII, IX, X, X-2, XII and XIII.

2. I have finished all of the FF games I have mentioned in the question above!

3. Now when you say hero, I'm wondering if you maybe mean a protagonist or a good character in general, so I'll answer both of these separately haha. My favorite protagonist would be Zack from Crisis Core, but my favorite good guy from the games would be Fran from XII.

As to reasons why, Zack has always been a standout character for me from the rest of the FF games. I have to admit, I never liked any of the FF protagonists, except for maybe Zidane who was pretty good in my opinion. Also, I might've formed a bond with Zack unknowingly. Crisis Core was the hardest FF game to play emotionally. As for the reasons why Fran is my favorite, I have to admit that I hold love towards mysterious characters. Fran is just an enigma and I never stopped thinking about her. I am filled with questions about her as a person and character. I also wish I knew more about the Viera. I will admit that I also liked the twist in FFX-2 with Lulu having a child with Wakka. And yeah, I like Lulu too. With her toys as weapons, gorgeous looks and slightly terrifying demeanor, really like her.

4. I will pick two of my favorite villains and that will be Edea and Sephiroth. Sephiroth, I don't think I need to explain why. He just has the best story, the best looking male villain, he has a very authentic complex shift, while he's also representing Lucifer, in some ways. And Sorceress Edea, in my personal opinion, is the best looking character in Final Fantasy world. I love her aesthetic, her grace, her beauty and she does seem as that unworldly threat to the world that was humanized (well, not Edea, more Ultimecia in this case, but whatever).

5. EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. FROM FFXIII. Fang and Sazh were somewhat bearable. But I just couldn't stand all of the characters from FFXIII and I can't even describe to you how disappointed this game made me. Whenever there was a cutscene with Lightning or Snow, I just felt like I was watching a high school drama. I don't know why, this game never sat with me and kind of killed my desire to play following FF games.

6. I guess Kuja from IX would be a pick. I don't know, but to me he just felt like some sort of a Walmart version of Sephiroth. I do get that they're different villains and characters altogether, but I just couldn't shake off that feeling.

7. Didn't play Dissidia yet, but definitely will in the future.

8. Lightning, Snow, Vanille and Hope from XIII. They seriously annoyed me to tears to sometimes. I have a personal vendetta against this game. Ah, and Ashe from XII. But I guess they went for that "entitled and righteous" princess vibe, so I don't really hold it against her, since it seems quite natural and more realistic tbh.

9. "I am no longer of you. I have discarded wood and village. I won my freedom, yet my past was cut away forever. No longer can my ears hear the green word. This solitude...You want, Mjrn?" from Fran when she is speaking to her sisters in the village. I loved the whole scene when the Viera interacted and it subtly showed the character depth of Fran and I loved every second of it.

10. I would suppose Fran again. I won't go in depth to why I relate to her, but its that solitude, isolation, standing out and abandoning the path that I was "supposed" to walk.

11. /

12. /

13. I would choose either Ivalice (FFXII world) or Spira (FFX world) because they're both unique and beautiful in their own ways.

14. Edea without a doubt. I WOULD KILL TO LOOK SO GLORIOUS, UGH! Also, she's like the almighty sorceress. Unlike her, I'd use it for good.

15:. The hero team: Fran with her bow, Lulu with her magic, Zack with his buster sword, Garnet as a healer and a summoner and RedXIII with his unique skills.

16. The villain team: Edea with her magic, Sephiroth with his big ass Masamune, Seymour as a summoner, LeBlanc as a debuffer, Judge Gabranth as a knight and tank.

My own answers will be in a separate post.

Three.

Question three: Which Final Fantasy Hero is your favorite? If you have more than one, that is fine.
Barrreeetttt. Barret is v cool. I also love Squall, even if he's kind of a whine bag.

Optional: Why are they your favorites?
Barret is just a cool dude, and having a gun for an arm is a huge plus. Squall I think was just my first game crush and that's always stuck with me.

Question four: Which Final Fantasy Villain is your favorite? If you have more than one, that is fine.
Ultimecia.

I just wanted her to fight me IRL. I have no idea why I just love her so much.

Question five: Which Final Fantasy Hero is your least favorite? If you have more than one, that is fine.
LIGHTNING. HOPE.

Optional: Why are they your least favorites?
Look I get that FF loves it's sad heroes but wow, I spent the entire game wishing I could just make Hope and Lightning stab each other and leave them behind. They were so miserable it was honestly annoying.

Question six: Which Final Fantasy Villain is your least favorite? If you have more than one, that is fine.
Barthandelus

Optional: Why are they your least favorites?
This is a stupid reason but basically my first playthrough of 13 I got super into it and wound up rushing to him and couldn't progress because I hadn't properly evolved my skill trees. I tried to beat him for a week and then restarted my file. >(

Question three: Which Final Fantasy Hero is your favorite? If you have more than one, that is fine.

Optional: Why are they your favorites?

Uh, wow this is a tough one

My absolute favorite is Kain Highwind from FFIV; because I love the concept of dragoons, he had the coolest looking armor! As a character he is troubled, he has his issues and I think that makes him relatable. He's a bit sarcastic (just like me) and is driven to do what he wants to do in life, but finds redemption in the end where he realizes that caring for other people and making amends is not actually a terrible thing.

Close runner ups

Cloud Strife/Squall Leonhart (FFVII/FFVIII) - I think both these characters are really similar in a lot of ways. They both are portrayed at first as sort of apathetic, mission driven, unsociable individuals. They both grow in their own unique ways; however, and in the end develop into characters that you really feel for and sympathize with.

Noctes (FFXV) - There is a lot about his character development that is pretty story centric and skirts spoiler territory so I'll just say he goes on quite possibly the longest journey to come to terms with his own responsibility. It was shoved onto him and at first you sort of get the feeling he is just doing things out of obligation. He has growth by the end; however, and you realize that a lot of his character throughout the game is maybe a bit more of an act than the player originally realizes.

I think most FF characters are done fairly well, but as you can see I am a sucker for those that have great character development throughout the game!


Question four: Which Final Fantasy Villain is your favorite? If you have more than one, that is fine.

Optional: Why are they your favorites?

Emet-Selch from FFXIV is hands down my favorite Villain. As much as I am a sucker for character development in the hero; I want a relatable Villain that isn't just evil to be evil. Throughout the latest expansion of FFXIV, you learn a lot about this particular villain and you realize his motivations are very much the same motivations that you (the player/main character) have. The way he tries to achieve his goals are what makes him a villain but playing through the story I really felt for the guy and to me that makes for the best antagonist.



Question five: Which Final Fantasy Hero is your least favorite? If you have more than one, that is fine.

Optional: Why are they your least favorites?

Hmm least favorite?

Vann - I can't really pin why he's my least favorite, I think he was just the one that I felt least excited about. Every other character in FFXII was more interesting to me than him xD

Question six: Which Final Fantasy Villain is your least favorite? If you have more than one, that is fine.

Optional: Why are they your least favorites?

Least favorite Villain...I thin almost all of them are pretty ... bad? In a way? In the sense that they don't really seem to have much of a story beyond just being a big bad for the sake of it. Motivation is very much left off the table in a lot of games, or the enemy is just some vague entity (Like Sin in FFX).

I think the one that takes the cake; however, is Ardyn from FFXV. I honestly had no idea what his deal was, why he was a villain or why he was taking any of the actions he did in the game. It took a DLC to finally explain his story and once that happened, he became more relatable; but I disliked it required a DLC to make the VIllain good.

Question seven: If you played any of the Dissidia games - Which character's walk do you like and why? (Not all character's simply walk or run)
I don't think I've really paid attention? I extensively played the Dissidia game for the PSP and I remember just selecting the character and than air dashing everywhere! I know in Dissidia NT you do more like ... battlefield 3v3 things? And the characters run more, but I haven't played that one enough

Question eight: Which Final Fantasy character do you find most annoying?

Uh, Kefka. You couldn't play him, but he was super super annoying!

Question nine: Which Final Fantasy character quote do you like best? If you have more than one, that is fine.

Anytime Cloud says Shut up....thats a huge mood right there man. I wish I could just casually tell people to shut up daily xD
Question ten: Which Final Fantasy character can you relate to? If you have more than one, that is fine.
I think right now I relate to Quistis from FF8

Question eleven: Which Final Fantasy character do you find the easiest to level up?
I've never really found any character easier or harder to level up, you just have to figure out the best ways to do it in each game! In FF8, for example, you could just farm in Galbadia Garden for hours in the ice rink and over level basically the rest of the game. I think in games like Dissidia it depends on what character suits your style of gameplay. I was a personal fan of Squall from Dissidia but I didn't really like any of the ranged/mage types!

Question twelve: Which Final Fantasy character do you find difficult to level up?
See above? xD

Question thirteen: If you could live in a Final Fantasy world (game) which one would you pick?

FFXV, cause I like my cellphone too much LOL

Question fourteen: If you could live as a Final Fantasy character, which one would you pick and why?

Hmm, is it cheating to say I would play as my character from FFXIV?

Question fifteen: If you could create your Final Fantasy team, using character's from any FF game (which you can in the Dissidia games), who would be on your team? Max 5 characters.

Kain, Noctes, Fang, Vincent, Y'shtola

Bonus question: To combat against your Final Fantasy team, you of course have to have villains. Which FF villains would combat your team? Max 5 characters.

Sephiroth, Seipher, Garland, ExDeath and Kuja

This was super fun and made me nostalgic; now I want to go finish FF7 Remake....curse being an adult with responsibilities and little game time!
