Top 10 Best Male Final Fantasy Characters
Cloud Strife is a fictional character and the main protagonist of Square Enix's 1997 role-playing video game Final Fantasy VII and several of its sequels and spin-offs. Actually, I think Cloud is the most useful character in Final Fantasy. He is powerful, and his Omnislash is so strong.
Zack Fair is a fictional character first introduced as a non-player character in the 1997 role-playing video game Final Fantasy VII by Square Enix, and subsequently expanded upon in the metaseries Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Zack is a great character and the main reason why Cloud became such a more developed character after Crisis Core. Zack is lovable for his boundless energy, but also for the fact that he is truly a caring guy. Although a little naive at times, he has a strong sense of what is wrong and right, and the fact that he is charming makes his character that much better.
Although it was very sad when he died, it was necessary so Cloud could see the importance of the people around him. Therefore, in a way, it made it seem that he wasn't dead at all - after all, his dreams became Cloud's. The fact that we see him at the end of Advent Children is like he was there helping all the way (and by the values he had taught Cloud, he had been).
Sephiroth is a fictional character and main antagonist in the role-playing video game Final Fantasy VII developed by Square.
Noctis is the most important part of Final Fantasy because, without him, the FF generation wouldn't continue.
The one from the first trailer easily gets the top spot. What a beast.
Should be number 1 because he ain't emo.
Vincent Valentine is a player character in Square's 1997 role-playing video game Final Fantasy VII. Designed by Tetsuya Nomura, he also appears in various titles from the Compilation of Final Fantasy. I believe I'm in the minority that actually liked playing Dirge. It was a fun change, and what better character than the closet vampire? I've always liked him, really. He's got an epic design, awesome Limits, and he's just so badass.
Of course, he's not the most badass red-cloaked character on this list ;) but still a close second. He's pretty good in battle in FF7, but he wasn't in my main party. He's really just this high because I loved Dirge so much, and his gameplay was enjoyable. Plus, he's really badass.
Tidus is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy X, a role-playing video game developed by Square Enix. YES, Tidus! He's actually a really good character, not half as annoying as so many people think he is. Sure, he whines, but it's not like - oh, I don't know - his life is a lie, his father was a drunk who left without warning, and he's stuck in a land he had no idea existed. That would be far too much to give him a reason to complain.
Why didn't they just wipe his memory then copy and paste like they did with another blonde protagonist? In battle, he was always in my main party. Got his Celestial first as well as all his Limits. He's so fast that some monsters can't even hit him, and his time abilities (i.e., Haste and Quick Hit) were lifesavers.
Plus, he was actually able to hit quite good amounts of damage - not on the level of other characters from that game - but he suffices.
Squall Leonhart is a fictional character and the primary protagonist of Final Fantasy VIII, a role-playing video game by Square Enix. Squall is by far the greatest character in the entire franchise.
He's not a cheerful guy, and he isn't a whiner. He's a loner, but inside, he's a born leader, and it radiates off of him (even though he doesn't notice it himself). Everyone is naturally drawn to him. He's a pure badass with his gunblade.
The love story between Rinoa and him is only overshadowed by Tidus and Yuna, yet to me, FFVIII will always be the greatest FF game. Squall is the most realistic character that FF has ever created, and that's why he's the best.
He's the most handsome and strongest Final Fantasy protagonist.
The Newcomers
Another member of my main party. Also, an extremely badass man in red. Perhaps if they wrapped the next male protagonist in red, people wouldn't complain that he's whiny and annoying? Just a thought.
Anyway, what is there to say? Auron's the man. He begins Tidus's story and keeps the audience guessing as to why he is the only one still standing from Braska's party so many years before until it is revealed he is an Unsent. Still, he's badass, even in semi-death.
In battle, he mows down enemies, swiftly reaching the damage limit and requiring something to break through that. Other than that, he acts as a sort of guardian to other characters, taking damage for them. With his high health and defense, this makes him even more useful.
Hope is just one of those great side characters. He's immediately set up with a great tragedy to give him something to develop on and a goal in the first hour or so of the first game. Throughout the early game, he develops from quite the coward into a very strong young man.
Let's all keep in mind this boy hasn't reached the age of 16 yet, so he is actually allowed to be naive and whiny at times. I enjoyed watching him bond with Light throughout the early stages of the game and was on the edge of my seat when he had Snow right where he wanted him. Of course, as all good characters do, he managed to grow up and accept that Snow was not at fault.
I'm not happy, however, that his relationship with Lightning was kind of skipped over in the later stages of the game. In the second game, he returns as quite the genius and, if I do say so myself, quite the looker. He's also matured a great amount and, in all, has developed into a fine young man.
In battle, he's an exceptional Ravager and second only to Vanille on the Medic side of things. Plus, he is the one who has Shell, Protect, etc., first, so his Synergist talents are greatly appreciated.
Zidane Tribal is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy IX, a role-playing game developed by Square Enix. I find him both cute and badass at the same time. Oh, Zidane - also, I think his tail makes him look cool.
A thief made with purpose, created by power to obtain power, he is the ultimate good guy.
Iggy's just my all-time favorite, both character and looks alike.
He's a sky pirate and a self-proclaimed leading man. Need I say more?
Yes, a summon is being put on this list. Why? Because he's actually an epic summon. I thoroughly enjoy using Mega Flare to own my enemies.
He was especially good in FFX because of his already-in-use Break Damage Limit, meaning all who opposed me were, well... doomed. Aside from that, he's a badass dragon who's been on both the dark side and the light, and people still love his many incarnations.
Noel is a cocky, cheerful, confident, but soft-spoken person. He is a self-sufficient hunter and fighter. He is excited to explore new places and meet new people, and he is defined by his determination to protect others, which is evident in how he is protective towards Serah despite hardly knowing her.
He asserts himself to others and remains calm and collected when facing people who are provoked to anger, such as the members of NORA. Noel stands by his beliefs and morals, and as a remnant from his upbringing, he values life and is reluctant to hurt or kill others unless necessary. This initially makes him dislike Snow Villiers for his brash personality and his head-in-the-clouds belief in self-sacrifice.
