I feel Ness should be higher on the list
0/10 Too much ◽SQUARE ENIX◽ Games and… not ONE Fire Emblem lord?
I think Ness is cool and all but I think Lucas should be on this list
Me before video: I hope Sora and Cloud are on this list!
Me after video: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!
"His unyielding love for Kairi is just downright adorable." shared for that.
How is ness only #10?
I know this is based on your own opinion but… really, Sora isn't a good character at all, and even if i love FF VII Cloud doesen't deserves the first place. Yuri Lowell is by far the best protagonist of all you listed. Oh, and play Radiant Historia, it's not only an amazing game, his main hero (Stocke) is one of the best too.
If Sephiroth is the Number 1 Villain, a meteor will be coming your way. The one that targets unoriginality.
I haven't played many JRPGs but I really liked the team from DQ7 (Auster [i think that's his name], Maribelle, Kiefer, Aira, Sir Mervyn and Ruff)
I can understand why pe PeopleLike seperoth better than media but pretty much every main protagonist is better than cloud especially Cecil terra and zidane
what about yuki makoto and akia kurusu in perskna 3 and 5
hey a list i can actually agree on, thats hasnt happened in awhile, good job
Dammit, Mojo. You're really good at clickbaiting us by using Sora as a thumbnail. Good work.
THAT IS MY DUDE!!! CLOUD FOR LIFE!!!!!
No Terra(FFVI), no squall(FFVIII), no Cecil(FFIV), no ryu(BOF), no tidus(FFX), who made this list you have one person from final fantasy the most successful JRPG of all time, I could easily have a top 10 list with only characters from final fantasy.
There is no final fantasy game that will ever surpass final fantasy VI.
1- Shulk
2- Chrono
3- Ike
My Top 3
3. Shulk
2. Noctis
1. Roxas
Bish sora should be number one! Or Riku. You know, hero of Light, hero of darkness.
Was hoping for Golden Sun's Isaac to be in..
Sora? XD this list is stupid.
Good choices overall but how can you put Yu Narukami instead of P5 or P3 protagonist. Yes he has the most games but the other two had way better looks, were way smarter than him and definitely were better with the ladies.
garbage
Hell yeah Yuri's here!
I personally disagree with the number one spot. If you absolutely had to make it so there was a Final Fantasy hero to choose… You should make it because they were actually a good hero and their personality was either extremely relate-able or they are just likable on their own….
Think about it, Cloud would just be another boring semi-silent mercenary if he didn't have Barret on his case about everything, or Tifa trying to stay at his side. Final Fantasy 7 had a cast of characters that helped his status along, but without them… He's actually extremely boring… He's basically a lot like Squall from the next in the series, actually. Melodramatic, anti-social and blunt enough to keep conversations at a minimum because he finds talking to others troublesome… They are the same character in a different dimension of Final Fantasy.
That aside, if the events didn't happen as they did he'd just be doing a mercenary job to get by (which will actually be in tune with the person I'm inclined to mention…)
I say this as opposed to perhaps Final Fantasy 9's protagonist, Zidane. He's a bandit who happens to be some what of a flirt and always looking for adventure, while he's already met others (such as Freya) pre-events. He was a member of a bandit troupe that did plays while carrying out heists. He's fun-loving and if the other characters weren't around to share the spotlight, he'd be just fine on his own in terms of carrying the story on his back. He's clearly not bound by duty as he literally leaves the troupe to go off on his own quest, which is the opposite of what Cloud was with Avalanche or any "main" protagonist of Final Fantasy, prior (many were bound to their kingdoms or status).
… Other than that, there were some good picks! Nice job.
Demi-fiend could have easily been #2 instead of being an honorable mention. Sadly, no one seems to know him that much …
