I feel like the "little sun" scene made people forget that Y'shtola had the personality of a dishrag beforehand and spent half of both Heavensward and Stormblood completely absent from the plot, but "she's sassy now" completely invalidates that somehow

I was wondering why people were nominating her. I've only made it through the main story but she's barely had any personality at all. At least her little partner mage makes some kind of impression.

Anyway I choose

Ultros
General Leo
Gilgamesh

But you play as Leo, though. All available opponents are unbeatable, but you're still walking and fighting as him with more battle options than Umaro.

There's a glitch where you can actually play nearly the whole game as Leo as long as you don't enter the party select screen.

Ah fuck. General Leo and Beatrix were the first that kame to mind, but alas...
Same here. Might have to rack my brain a bit now...

Larsa (FFXII) - in party at times, but not technically playable.

Gilgamesh (FFIV/FFXV)

Gonna go out on a limb and nominate Biggs and Wedge as a single choice.

Shadowbringers does do a lot more for her, but yeah - admittedly the sass and her relationship with Matoya specifically are what I like. Nom'd her less for personality and more for recognizability though, tbh. Square loves to use Y'shtola specifically for any of the crossover campaigns.

Yda is the one with the lalafell mage partner btw, and I'd argue even post-Reveal she's kinda a lame one. Partly being a result that the scions honestly aren't treated as "party members" till the very tail end of Heavensward and they didn't really know where to go with any of the developments besides till late Stormblood/early Shadowbringers.

Well... I'm voting for Hildebrand anyway!

Golbez would be my other choice, but I don't think that's fair because He's posed as the villain for 90-95% of the game.

Assuming that 'FF 12 Cid' is Al-Cid and not Dr. Cidolfus Overactor Bunansa, then I'll throw another vote behind Al-Cid.

It's Dr. Cid :(. It's Balthier's father. Whichever one that one is

You still have a chance to vote if you don't want Dr. Cid.

Can't in good conscience vote for a character I don't really like that much, in that case.

I'll throw Wedge a vote, whichever one that happens to be.

I'm sad now, because I really liked Dr. Cid :(. I voted for him.

Holy fuck I'm dumb. I forgot I also had a vote. I'm actually stupid. My extra chromosome is peeking through. I'm vaccinated.

This was a learning experience. One I won't mess up on again. Fuck lmao

My 3 votes are already cast, and I wouldnt have voted for him anyway, but Im curious... would Sephiroth have been a valid option? He is in your party during a flashback, but rather than acting as a character in berserk mode (like Umaro), he acts like a controllable character that cannot be used by the character. Square distinctly made a decision to show the player You are Cloud, and the rest of your usual party - but not this guy.

I personally would say hes a NPC, but just curious on what the verdict wouldve been.
