Good choice the characters are on the list to choose from weren't my favourite but the storyline was 1 of my favourites also choose your favourite villain of the series in my other thread
I voted for Other because I have one too many favorites.
But the first FF lead character I got to play as was Tidus/Yuna from Final Fantasy X. What a memorable moment for me.
Ugh... too many that are not on the list... (missing 6 not MMOs!) The entire cast of FFVI are lead characters and most of them have more complicated backgrounds than any of the leads from VII to XIII. I will choose Edgar and Sabin.
