What FF character do you feel is underappreciated?Follow

Zell. I don't personally like him, but he's the embodiment of most teens from the 90s. Eager to jump into **** headfirst.

Bonarpant from FFXI. Obvious reasons.

Kidding of course. I think they would all come from XI though because the interaction in single player games almost forces the characters on you. With XI you kinda had to be willing to do the sometimes meaningless sidequests or skipable missions to get to know NPCs.

Ayame. Got a thing for dark haired grils from the east who can skillchain with themselves. Also because she gave me sexy pants.

Very close runner up would be Ajido-Marujido. Minister of magics, creataru of the cardians and we are both history buffs.

Second runner up would be Sea Horror. Probably the most entertaining NPC for me just based on how much time I spent on the ferry trying to skill up my fishing. I'm sure everyone remembers their first encounter with this guy.

You fork over your gil and almost burst with anticipation waiting on the ferry to carry you between Mhaura and Selbina.Finally the ferry disembarks and you're greeted by the soulful sounds of the ferry theme and a bunch of then unfamiliar sneak spam. You mash the ferry door open hoping to catch a glimpse of a whale or even a seagull when suddenly... hentaicles

I know it sounds disturbing, but when you're riding the ferry back and forth for hours a day crossing your fingers for a single 0.1 or even a miraculous 0.2 skillup, the sound of noobs spattering across the deck of the ferry was actually quite soothing. FWIW I always helped raise them when we reached our destination.

XI had a lot of interesting side characters that you wanted to learn more about. Always thought Valaineral was really cool.

Naja Salaheem was my favorite little hated princess. This woman travels to a larger nation, establishes their most successful mercenary company. all to support her home lands. She completely abandons her royalty status and leads like a woman on a mission. She manipulates you into helping but eventually genuinely cares about you. She is obnoxious which is why I think a lot of people didn't like her, however she was easily one of my favorite characters from XI and severely under appreciated.

We need a Prishe! Hell give us Prishe herself!

Agreed. Aside from Estinien and Raubahn I really don't give a **** about the cast of XIV. Alphinaud could get eaten alive by alligators and I wouldn't care at all.

Sephiroth for sure, no one really mentions him, I personally think he is an well detailed and thoroughly underrated character.

/sarcasm off

I actually think Irvine from FF8 deserves more of a look in. He initially comes across as a cocky womaniser who treats his upcoming assassination mission like an everyday occurrence. But when it comes down to actually pulling the trigger, his whole demeanor breaks and you see he is really a vulnerable loner who really isn't cut out for that line of work, and I thought that was great.

Lets not forget that the ones you do care about seemingly get killed off rather blatantly or meet an untimely demise at one point or another... There's a lot of death in XIV.

This is a very difficult question. It could be taken as under appreciated in the story itself in which the character appeared or it could be how they are under appreciated by the general community.

From the community aspect, I often don't see Edge from Final Fantasy 4 getting a lot of love. Considering everything that he went through and still was able to push through it and even became stronger as a result. Serious props to him.

From a game aspect, I always felt like Setzer from Final Fantasy 6 went under appreciated. It was through both airships that the party could accomplish most of it's goals and despite that he is sometimes talked down to a bit.

Kefka for ruler of the universe. Just sayin.
