Which playable character(s) in Final Fantasy IX do you prefer most? And, why do you prefer him/her above the rest?


Zidane Tribal

Orignally a member of Tantalus, a group of thieves who plotted to abduct the Princess of Alexandria. Their plan was foiled when she herself revealed that she wanted to be kidnapped. Zidane then served as her protector. The only clues to his true originas are his inexplicable feline eyes, tail, and the memory of a strange blue light.

Vivi Ornitier

Young Black Mage, and very pure at heart. His past is something of a mystery, even to himself. His first name, as written in Japanese as オルニティア [Orunitia] is a slang term for a crybaby or someone who is simply insecure, which suits his personality perfectly.

Pricess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII
Alias: Dagger

Princess of Alexandria, concerned about her adoptive mother's erratic behavious, she escapes from the castle and meets Zidane and gang. During her travels, she assumes the name "Dagger" to disguise her identity. She has a strange and mutual connection to the Eidolons.

Captain Adelbert Steiner

The Captain of the Knights of Pluto, his sworn duty is to protect the Princess. Intensely loyal and concerned about her safety, which makes him unaware that Garnet is pretty much capable and independent on her own. Steiner comes across as stubborn, but is actually easily quieted by Garbet. Steiner has special feelings with his ex-rival General Beatrix, as which becomes more obvious as a result of a series of mishaps originating from Eiko's misplaced love letter.

Freya Crescent

A Dragon Knight from the destroyed city of Burmecia. She left home in search of Sir Fratley, her long-lost love. Also, she's a member of the mouse clan who was raised and trained by a Dragon Knight. Freya is a courageous female knight who is unwilling to compromise her beliefs.

Quina Quen

Genderless. His/her master wanted him/her to travel the world so that he/she will learn that there are other foods in the world besides the swamp frogs and that there's more to life than food. Anilities in battle include eating enemies to absord their magic spells, known as Blue Magic.

Eiko Carol

6 year old, she lives in Madain Sari, the lost village of the summoners. She develops a crush on Zidane when they met each other. She has lived with the Moogles ever since her parents and grandparents died when she was very young. Boisterous and precocious, she sees Dagger as her biggest rival for Zidane's affection.

Amarant Coral

One of the most wanted bandits in Treno. While acting as a guard, he was framed for a crime committed by Zidane that he tried to prevent. Despite this, Amarant does not reveal the truthabout his innocence because of his reclusive nature. He works as a bounty hunter with Lani until his deteat by Zidane, at which point he begins to follow the thief in his journey to understand his way of life and the source of his strength.

Zidane Tribal

    He always felt so adventurous. And was filled with much more optimism in him than previous main characters, it made his personality stand out instantly from the moments you got to know him. Defiant of authority, stubborn to give up, and pulling inspiration out of nowhere. He was the spitting image of a hot-blooded young boy.

    At times, Zidane gave you the feeling of wonder and amazment at how he could retain his morale and enthusiasm in the face of danger. You could look at him and think freedom because he really was a free-spirit. But... Zidane also gave you the image of desolute as he discovered his true origins and the dark destiny that he was planned to bear. His gloomy, confused, and enraged mood during those times revealed that even he was capable of succumbing to weakness.

It was very much like Zidane Tribal to portray such emotions... very much like a adventurous young boy.

I like Amarant overall. Although he's quite the slowest character of them all (which reflects the healing rate of Auto Regen),  he makes it up for his very useful skills like Chakra, No Mercy, Aura.

Im gonna have to say the princess. Ive always liked the damsel in all FF, so I guess it would be the same here. And wanting to run away from home? Sounds like she has a nice backstory too. And her secret name, Dagger, how cool is that?

Then explain why... :roll: lol. or are you going to edit your post later again just to explain what you think :P

I think i love Vivi the most here. He's just there, up there in my favs list. I love the way he falls, i love the way he walks, i love his design, i love his character, i love his personality. Oh well, i just love everything visual and non-visual about him. For a small guy like him, he's actually quite strong.

Freya

I just enjoyed using her. Every chance that I got to use her, she was in the party. I just thought that she had interesting story with her and I will leave it at that.

Garnet or Zidane, although technically I prefer Zidane a bit more in terms of fighting, but somehow I really like Garnet as a character.  I usually dislike main female characters, but every once in a while I somehow start to really love certain main females, such as Garnet, Rukia from Bleach, and Akane from Ranma.  Garnet got pretty decent attack with good weapons (can't beat any of the weapon wielders of course), and having white magic as well as summons, she becomes pretty good for late game.  Although that's only true if you use her a lot, since i like her character so much, I tend to keep her always in my party so she won't be left behind in lvls, even during the part when she was muted.  ^^;;;  So even though Zidane's better at fighting, I think my favorite is actually Garnet (i mean, I'm willing to use her when she can't use magic!)

Im afraid the pictures were uneeded, but I must say my favourite has to be Zidane, Quina or Amarant (or Blank).

They all rock.

my favorite is Zidane. i just liked him cuz he was the only character that was so tense and all formal when they talked. he could take a joke. plus, he was my best fighter in battle. he never gave up, even when he learned of his past when he got all down and in the dumps. he could have been on kuja's side but he didnt go becuz he didnt want to give up. and after the fight he even tried to save kuja. so also because he didnt need a reason to help someone. i guess cuz thats sorta like me so hes my favorite. :wink:
