for me.. final fantasy IV cecil is one great character he is a great example of someone who will do what is right for everyone and kain, wow, from a friend to a rival, to a would-be-hero and that moment from the game's conclusion. he is really something. crisis core: ffVII i really couldn't believe it, but i cried on this one. i do know what's gonna happen to zack but after i saw his final moments. man, i cried. (just a little bit) final fantasy IX this was really a change of perspective for the ff series. here characters developed overtime. like vivi, if you can't appreciate him in this game, man you are dead inside. his charm & joyful spirit bring out the best in his character unlike some others like squall who is such a baby. (sorry for that , i like him too you know.)
