[Lulubop]

Garnet should be 1, but at least she's in the top 10.

 

[Dresden]

Agrias is too moe to be only 17th. Damn you random voters of Japan.

 

[Sadist]

 

[Bulzeeb]

I am surprised to see Fraris on that list, ff5 is my favorite ff game ever

 

[Anth0ny]

*barf*

 

[Flame Lord]

1. Lightning (FFXIII)

Rigged.

 

[tribal24]

noo!! seriously lightning needs to get thrown in the trash.

 

[froliq]

All these FFXIII sequels make sense now.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

LIGHTNING? Proves people care about the character design more than the personality.

I think it's more people like, or are at least most vocal, about what's current. Every other non FFXIII entry on that list is a dinosaur by gaming standards.

 

[Data West]

No Freya. No Fran.

Japan, we need to have a pow wow.

 

[Just take it with you.]

Agrias should have been higher.

 

[CielTynave]

I'm okay with this

Spoiler

judging on looks alone. Which is probably what the people who voted did.

 

[InfiniDragon]

No Terra!?

Terra = Tina in Japan.

And hell no is Celes, Tifa or Light better than her. The rest can be argued.

 

[Zoe]

Rydia and Rikku are too low.

 

[idlethreats]

No Quistis? No Fran? No Fang?!

No, good sir, I will not deal with it. >:-(

 

[LiK]

Toriyama is winning by constantly shoving Lightning down our throats! Noooooo

 

[Xevren]

Garnet should be 1, but at least she's in the top 10.

I like the way you think.

 

[kaioshade]

im ok with that.

I actually like the character. Still not quite seeing the extreme loathing the character gets.

Ashe and Tina/Terra need to be higher.

And Rosa needs to GTFO of that list.

 

[The Elite]

Terra = Tina in Japan.

And hell no is Celes, Tifa or Light better than her. The rest can be argued.

Celes is one of my favourite female FF characters.

 

[MagiusNecros]

They spelled Seven wrong.

 

[botty]

Who else, but the female Cloud?

 

[Kyon]

Oh it's by looks only? If it was by CLASS, CHARACTER and POISE Yuna would have been number 1. Lightning is a great design though so congrats.

Get that promo

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Still, she beats some of the other characters by a long shot.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Omg, people in Japan like this character that I've deemed unlikable. Toriyama must be writing facebook voting scripts. There's no way she could win because people like her!

 

[Noaloha]

Lightning? That's not how you spell Prishe.

Prishe? That's not how you spell Shantotto.


(To be honest, catch me on a day where the wind was blowing in a different direction and I'd be with you.)

 

[Verendus]

Beatrix is 14.

Japanese FF fans have no taste. She's one of the select few good female characters.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Will the FFXIII saga end with this gen?

Please let it end. I want to like Final Fantasy again.

Personally I'm okay with FFXIV: ARR being the swan song of the series. Just let it go, SE.

Prishe? That's not how you spell Shantotto.


(To be honest, catch me on a day where the wind was blowing in a different direction and I'd be with you.)

Clearly, a sensible Final Fantasy fan with good taste would have these two fighting for #1.

 

[scy]

Honestly more bothered by #2 than #1.

Then again, I quite like Lightning as well so eh. I'm actually pretty fine with most the top 10 (order is arguable, etc. etc.). Honestly surprised Faris is so high.

 

[WickedLaharl]

OP is homer

 

[Takao]

I'm surprised Zack won the male version of this poll. I know Crisis Core was very well received, but still.

 

[Kalnos]

Who are Tina and Aerith?

Spoiler

trololol

Agrias is too moe to be only 17th. Damn you random voters of Japan.

Agrias becomes a non-factor in the story/game pretty early on, not that she deserves to be tied with Eiko or anything.

 

[Artemisia]

Why is ashe so low?

Fucking japanese final fantasy stans. if lighting is your favorite character then why don't buy her damn games?

 

[Kyon]

Omg, people in Japan like this character that I've deemed unlikable. Toriyama must be writing facebook voting scripts. There's no way she could win because people like her!

Why are you PRESSED? Lightning won..

 

[Mr. Fix]

Beatrix is 14.

She's one of the select few good female characters.

It hurts me.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Celes > Tina? :/

but she has no ass

how is this possible?

Beatrix is 14.

Japanese FF fans have no taste. She's one of the select few good female characters.

OP is homer

rofl

Lightning's not that bad, but man, depressing list.

LBP Lightning should be on here somewhere.

 

[Emitan]

Why is the worst at number one?

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Maaya Sakamoto's voice is heavenly of course Aerith and Lightning are number one.

 

[Principate]

No wonder SE made a new FF game and called it Lightning Returns...

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Can't deal with it.

Agreed.
How did Lightning even get on the list. =/

 

[Coffee Dog]

I'm actually more disturbed that Yuna is so high. She didn't even really HAVE a character in X. Hell, no one really did aside from Rikku, Auron, Jecht and Tidus.

 

[Toki767]

I can't believe Square-Enix wasn't lying when they said people wanted more Lightning. Surely this had to have been rigged somehow.

 

[Kyon]

Why is the worst at number one?

Whew else has a game comin out soon? That's why

 

[massoluk]

Wow wow wow wow, what's going on? I thought Rinoa would have been much higher. I guess Famitsu is more male oriented than I thought.

 

[USIGSJ]

I guess that explains 3 XIII games.

 

[TheExodu5]

Celes is definitely my top pick.

 

[TalesOfWin]

my favorite Female FF character is Garnet (or dagger if you like)

 

[Supermanisdead]

Why are you PRESSED? Lightning won..

I'm pressedT because people are trying to come for Toriyama because of a fan facebook vote -____- It's so classless.

 

[Stark]

Proves people care about the character design more than the personality.

That's good. I really... don't see anything wrong with that.

 

[Finalow]

Can't deal with it.

this. ^

such an awful list.

 

[Beckx]

LIGHTNING? Proves people care about the character design more than the personality.

I have to say I'm okay with that mindset. I tend to gravitate to game characters on style (or, put differently, the inspiration I get from the art) than the substance. Amano's art for Celes & her in-game sprite (and the fact that she was in my main party) are the reasons I'd pick her over all the rest.
