Leviathyn.com | As any genre stalwart knows, an RPG is only as good as the characters you grind through it with. Would anybody really have slogged through Final Fantasy XIII without Lightning? But just being an awesome protagonist doesn’t get you onto this list, you have to provide the gameplay chops to hang with these heavy hitters. Some of them are off the wall, heck some of them even suck as a character, but they all are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, and that should count for something!

Gary Green said: We Europeans got royally screwed with the releases of the first six Final Fantasy games. I’m sure you’d find plenty of dodgy imports or bootlegs if you looked hard enough, but we never actually got a proper release for any of them, at least not for the first editions. There was a lot of xenophobia in gaming at the time, so anything Japanese getting released in the west at all was nothing short of a miracle. It was an ugly trend that continued well into the 2000s when worldwide releases became the new norm.
I'd have put Auron higher based on intro and back story, certainly higher than 'fighter", but still a good list.
