Though not my favourite characters here are my breakdown of my four FF heroes for any FF adventure and reasons....
Squall - main sword-user. Despite lacking personality just like Cloud and Seph (I don't like these three for their lack of personality and little character depth), Squall managed to proove himself at least a worthy leader and his techniques makes him a worthy choice. His final special is spectacular and hits several more 9999 than Cloud could ever try with his Omislash. It's too bad there's no way I can make him do 99,999 per hit like I can with Tidus... oh well can't have everything....
Vivi - black mage. At least he looks like a traditional FF black mage. A mainly offensive spell caster is good enough an excuse to have one. One confused individual he might be but certainly not a boring character. He's all I need to fill this spot.
Yuna - summoner/white mage/gunner. I'm taking into consideration both her skills in FFX and FFX2. She's a capable summoner and a gun user. Her summoning would certainly be useful. As a gunner she can occupy the enemy with damage dealing cover shots as other chracters go about doing what they have to do. Can be the healer and assist spell caster. If it wasn't for her ability to use guns then I probably would have chosen Terra or Rydia instead as they are characters that I like much more.
Zidane - the thief. what's a party without a nimble thief. They can steal and they have techniques that that are useful as well as being fast chracters that often get initiatives on enemies or to use items quickly.  Zidane also have a pretty cool personality and can Trance. His weapon is also pretty sweet. Other candidate for this position is Locke and Rikku
Since FFIV can have five in a party here's an additional fifth member would either be Cid as a skilled Dragoon. He has several skills that makes him handy. Dragoon have the jump skills which have become useful for survival against many boss in FF games and generally handy. Personally I like Kain much more than Cid as a Dragoon but Cid seems to have more interesting techniques in his limit break.
