Whatever the recipe for the Final Fantasy frontrunners is something definitely works.
So much that Square has managed to develop fifteen games plus spin-offs as a result.
A matter of opinion, sure.
Blitzball aside, Tidus did bring quite a lot to the table. Like awkward laughs, for example. And, other things?
But we can’t deny these five of being worthy of the crown among the remainder.
But where do you stand?
Have we hit the nail on the head with this collective?

Tidus (Final Fantasy X)
Blitzball aside, Tidus did bring quite a lot to the table.
Like awkward laughs, for example.
And, other things?
Behind the angst lies a genuinely likeable hero, though only best seen around a campfire. Or when driving. Or, you know — fishing.
Square Enix tapped into something truly remarkable when developing Final Fantasy X.
Although rather naive and somewhat cocky, Tidus is anything but wooden when it comes to his overall persona.
Or, you know fishing.
There’s more to this one than mood swings and melancholy. Look beyond the smoky eyes and bronze fringe and you’ll find it.
And what’s more he’s essentially the most powerful, too.
Reckless attitude and rebellious ways pushed aside, Noctis does actually possess a collection of likable qualities.
Simple things, like sat around a campfire watching the stars align with friends.
Final Fantasy IV captured the Dark Knight storyline perfectly.
Squall (Final Fantasy VIII)
There’s more to this one than mood swings and melancholy.
Look beyond the smoky eyes and bronze fringe and you’ll find it.
It’s a common theme for Square Enix to shovel as much drama into a character as humanly possible.
If you love tragic backstories — then you’ll adore Cloud Strife. Mood swings and all.
And as expected, Squall definitely wasn’t an exception from that.
The Gunblade what more could you want?
We’re giving extra points for that alone.
Cecil (Final Fantasy IV)
Final Fantasy IV captured the Dark Knight storyline perfectly.
Because who doesn’t love a bad guy turned hero, right?
Well deserved, we must admit.
Lack of power aside, Cecil climbs to our second spot for ambition alone.
Cloud (Final Fantasy VII)
If you love tragic backstories then you’ll adore Cloud Strife.
Mood swings and all.
Top the suffering off with a boatload of style and you’ve got yourself a recipe for success.
Oh, and the weapon alone is enough to secure a top spot on this list, also.
But that’s another story in itself.
One we’ll look to cover next week at that.
