No. 10 – Cyan
Final Fantasy VI is not only the best game out of all the FF titles, it's on the short list for one of the best games of all time. This list could easily be populated with characters only from that game (and you'll definitely see that opinion reflected here). But when we think of FF VI, it's hard not to first think of Cyan Garramonde, the samurai warrior and retainer to the King of Doma. Just listen to that theme music! So epic. We also love Cyan because he's all about swords, knights, honor, armor, battle -- a distilled combination of all the medieval and fantasy influences that made the early Final Fantasy games so great. Bethesda seems to share that opinion as well, since we don't think it's any coincidence that the samurai-themed Blades armor from Skyrim is basically Cyan's outfit, right down to the indigo hue.
