Sephiroth gets to cash in on cool factor and nostalgia too. He basically just came out at the perfect time for our generation since there really isnt all that much special or different about him compared to the zillion other JRPG villains out there. Hell even design wise Square basically just copied their other character Psaro from Dragon Quest for Sephiroth >_>

As for the topic title question I dunno if I could pick just one, but Im surprised Mega Man is one since barely anybody ever really talks about him. You hear Mario, Sonic and LoZ and stuff all the time, but its rare for me to ever really hear or see anybody talk about Mega Man. Had I not been here for years I wouldve assumed Kirby was one of the N9 because imo hes way more iconic and relevant than Mega Man, but Im not even sure where Kirby falls in the pecking order. Snake is a surprise to me too, but Im apparently one of the few people who has never played his series and never even heard of it until coming here...
