So for the last few weeks, GameFaqs has been running its annual "Best Videogame Character" event in which users can vote each day for their favorite character. The list originally consisted of around 125 characters, and 4 characters go head to head every day until only one remains. It's been fun, and I cannot wait to see who the winner turns out to be. My issue however, is that I can almost guarantee that it will be a Final Fantasy character...I would put money on Cloud or Sephiroth. While both of those are great characters, the thing that really bugs me is that any FF character always wins its bracket. Today, for instance, Auron is winning. Now Auron is a cool guy with a big sword and a kickin' voice, but c'mon people...best character ever? I don't think so. He is beating Bowser...yeah...the Bowser...and Ryu from Street Fighter. As the title says...I love Final Fantasy, I have played them all since FFII came out for the SNES, but I am not some mindless fanboy who has to vote for a character simply because they were in the series at some point. I really apologize for sounding like a broken record here, but it has just been bugging me for a few days now, and I felt compelled to moan and complain about it.

P.S.- This is going to tick alot of people off, but just think about it before you call me crazy, stupid, etc. Sephiroth is not the greatest character ever...he's not even the greatest Final Fantasy villian. He is simply a momma's boy. He is Norman Bates, but on a planet-wide scale. Albeit he looks really frickin' cool, and has a big a$$ sword to boot, but yeah...momma's boy. Kefka could take him any day.
