Guess the fan favorite female Final Fantasy character

Yep

I love you guys, but you’re the broken record to end all broken records when it comes to your dislike of Final Fantasy heroine Lightning. If you’re one of the Lightning haters you’re going to love this.

Square Enix Japan took a poll to determine who would be the fan favorite female Final Fantasy character, and the results posted on their Facebook page made me instantly think of you, dear reader. Forum members could only vote for one character from the 25 year history of the franchise but somehow your least favorite, Lightning, took top honors.

Aerith was a close second, and Yuna came in third. I got mad love for Celes so I’m glad she came in fifth. But where the hell is my glasses girl, Quistis? Trade out Garnet for her, I’d say.

See the full listing below. Some of these were ties, but I listed them in numerical order anyway.
