  10. Gepard Gepard's design perfectly embodies the disciplined, stoic nature of a knight. His armor is intricately detailed, evoking both elegance and strength. The combination of blue and silver tones gives him a noble air, while his shield is both a defensive tool and a symbol of his unyielding dedication to duty. 9. Argenti Argenti’s design mixes classical knightly elements with a distinct sense of fantasy flair.

This list includes characters from Final Fantasy IV through Final Fantasy XVI (excluding Final Fantasy XI unfortunately I didn’t play this game) and is ordered by the release dates of the games, not by ranking the characters themselves. Each character was chosen based on their personality and story arc—how they developed throughout their respective game and the impact they had on me.

Final Fantasy IV: Rydia Rydia’s journey in Final Fantasy IV is one of the most profound character transformations in the series. She begins as a young, frightened girl, traumatized by the death of her mother—a tragedy inadvertently caused by the protagonist. Despite ...
