Square Enix has updated the official website of Final Fantasy IV and added three new videos. Each video focuses on a different character: Cecil, Kain and Rosa.
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
A landmark RPG rich in personality, Final Fantasy IV took the series to the moon and back.
This was the game that got me to notice the series. 6 is the one that captured my heart and 7 was when it cemented it as one of my all-time favorite series. For me 4 - 9 are the best. 10... I can appreciate it and enjoy it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the classics. 12 is good too, but I can never finish it. 13... well, it's--it's a game. 15 starts off pretty strong, but then feels rushed and slapped together with duct tape and glue by the end.
I'm hoping 16 will blow away all expectations and really give us a game that rivals the classics. The trailers are doing a good job in making me think it can!
The theme of remorse & redemption still haunt me today. This game also introduced the famous Crystal Theme.

Thankfully Square Enix has produced protagonists that mostly fit that bill – though there are some exceptions. There is much discourse with some leads getting more love than others. Overall, though, Final Fantasy characters, are celebrated. Here’s our ranking of all protagonists from the Final Fantasy series."
" If you define him solely by these traits though, you’re doing a disservice to his past and the character arc he has over the course of the game "
Which is why when people say shit about Squall I know they probably haven't taken an interest in his character development with the story.
Ramza is the greatest FF protagonist of all time. Excellent characterization.
Out of everything you could say about Lightning, you picked "Independent", she is the opposite to that, perhaps the only thing that was interesting about her is how mentally fragile she gets when there isn't a goal blinding her
Pretty good I hope they get some decent english voice acting as well. This is shaping up to be quite the re-make.
looking good
I'm so psyched about this game! The camera angles make for some awesome cinematics and I'm glad that they haven't changed the music too much (FFIV has the best battle themes IMHO). Speaking of sound, the echoing of Rosa's footsteps in that last video is amazing.
Ya Palom & Porom!
they backed out on ff7 on n64 and ten years later they put it on the ds, they might of made some changes but i bet this was an old n64 game
looks very good
