I used to do these a few years ago, might as well toss in my ideas. These are my thoughts of "best newcomers", from the games I'm at least somewhat familiar with. Not gonna do guess work on stuff I'm not (or stuff I don't feel is Final Fantasy).

FF1: Warrior of Light - Dissidia rep, iconic etc. If we are gonna do any sort of FF1 stuff, it's best to do it for the guy that has some sort of storyline in some form or fashion.

FF2: Ricard Highwind - Overlap with Kain notwithstanding, he's still cool to look at.

FF3: Ingus - This guy's "default" class is a red mage you know! He wears the hat and everything. This game is terribly weak obviously, so any of the main cast would really qualify I think. I don't really like Onion Knight's Dissidia design so I'd choose the remake characters over him. Desch would not be a terrible choice here, but again, this game.

FF4: Ceodore Harvey - I've not played TAY, but I have played FF4 several times. I can't say anything from that game would be worthwhile having over the main character of the sequel. I mean we've seen bad performances from main characters in weak games before (Benjamin, Luneth, Luso especially) but what about one attached to a beloved classic and has the last name of Harvey? Is it too soon for a Hurricane joke?

FF5: Enuo - What a really terrible cast here. Outside of raytanning something, I don't really know what else. He looks really cool?

FF6: Gogo - Or Strago. I feel bad for Strago honestly. Gogo is cooler though and I think would be more likely to actually not get immediately hard booted. I've always loved thinking about who Gogo actually is (I subscribe to Setzer's lost love interest).

FF7: Shelke the Transparent - Go play Dirge of Cerberus. It's pretty good. Shelke is an amazing character as well. The character designs in this FF7 spinoff are so good too. I'd accept Nero, Shalua or Weiss as well.

FF8: Kiros Seagill - My personal preference. He'd bring in more votes than Ward imo, but it could be a toss up. I can't imagine a different FF8 rep being chosen.

FF9: Regent Cid Fabool - Frog Cid hasn't been in yet has he? If he hasn't then this is the best choice I think. He has to be more liked than FF8's Cid.

FF10: Luzzu - Always like this guy and make sure he lives, usually. Alternately Nooj to complete the trifecta. Getting them all in at the same time would be a chore but watching them battle for the top spot among themselves would be fun.

FF11: Prishe - Really hard to believe this one isn't already in. Cut and dry answer, if we're going to have one this has to be it.

FF12: Vossler York Azelas - Really awesome when he's in your party. FFXII's guest members tend to wash out of this pretty badly, but with the others having their shot Vossler should get one too.

FF13: Galenth Dysley - With Vayne in, my next goal is- okay, not really. Still, main antagonists should be in at least once.

FF14: Haurchefant Greystone - Why not?

FF15: Lunafreya Nox Fleuret - This game hasn't done well, so I'm not exactly sure what to do here. People here seem to prefer Iris, but the literal main female character of this game franchise should probably be getting in first in my opinion.

Tactics: Mustadio Bunansa - I'm more partial to seeing Folmarv quite honestly, but if FFT needs a true newbie this will be the strongest one.

Tactics Advance: Ritz Malheur - Has she been in? Seems like she'd be popular with certain crowds if not.

Mystic Quest: Phoebe - Why would anyone want to get the only end boss worse than Yu Yevon into this? The guy dies with X-Potions or something. Phoebe is the best of the other playables.

Unfortunately every year I end up losing major stuff I have to exhaust myself nominating back in. Wakka can probably return without my help next year, perhaps, but Basch is a different story and he's in my actual top 10.

I just don't know yet, it'd be nice to have someone help me get her in. I wish old school players were here and Basch would get in fine, but they aren't...

That may be true (I'd need to check the list I have saved on my PC, I only remember a few positions off the top of my head) but I still wouldn't ever save Strago in this. Even if I had spare saves they'd go to Relm and Gau way before Strago!

I guess I could just re-rank the characters again, this may or may not match the one I had immediately after playing

Terra > Cyan > Relm > Ultros > Kefka > Gau > Locke > Mog > Strago > Setzer > Edgar > Celes > Sabin > Ghost dude > Umaro > Gogo > Banon >>> Shadow

I guess Strago is kind of top half but not if I cut Banon and Ghost dude

Someone actually asked Yoshinori Kitase about Gogo's true identity and got an answer.

FF6 spoilers
Final Fantasy VIs two optional characters, Gogo and Umaro, "actually did not carry any background story. They were just there for you to select if you want them to be in battle."

Locke = Sabin > Relm >> Cyan > Mog > Gau > Setzer > Shadow > Umaro > Gogo > Edgar > Strago > Kefka > Ultros > Celes > Terra

Locke/Sabin pretty much depends on my mood. I like Locke's story better, but Sabin was more fun to use in battle. And he suplexed a train! And held up a house! Relm pulls third place because I like kid characters and I like her snark.

Umaro/Gogo are the obvious indifference line.

Edgar has some cool moments (sinking castle, Gerad) but his ladies' man persona is so awful it overshadows everything else. You can just feel the sleaze grease pouring off him in buckets.

Celes sux and her ability is overpowered, admins plz nerf (Also I dislike her for character reasons -- ugh opera scene, ugh suicide -- but by this point most of my hatred for her is mercs)

The whole point of the character is that he evolves though. He changes. Having perfect characters with no internal room for growth is why Cecil is boring.
