What are your favorite in game characters?

Hi Guys!

I'm really into lore and love to immerse myself in the characters/NPC's characteristics. Because of this passion, I wrote a list of my favorite characters. Please note, I am a bit biased, since Cat boys are just irresistible to me ;)

Isn't that a better topic for General Discussion rather than Lore, though?

ARR: Lahabrea, Jacke, Brithael, Gaius, Livia, Riol.
HW: Regula, Varis, Ysayle
SB: Hien, Yotsuyu, Magnai, Daidukul
ShB: Emet-Selch, Thancred, Vauthry, Ardbert
EW: Jullus, Hythlodaeus, Sicard

I'm likely forgetting someone and any character mentioned can typically carry over into subsequent expansions if and when they have additional scenes.

I'm sorry, that's probably true. I'm still new to the forum <3 Thanks for the heads up!

Gaius van Baelsar
Zenos yae Galvus
Nero tol Scaeva
Emet-Selch
Elidibus
Igeyorhm
Ardbert
Noah Gabranth
Giott
Tataru

1.) Y'shtola
2.) Minfilia Warble
3.) Raubahn
4.) Merlwyb
5.) Ysayle after she joins our side.
6.) Emet Selch (Endwalker or Elips version)
7.) Emet Selch (Shadowbringer)
8.) Alisaie Leveilluer
9.) Urianger
10.) Hamon the Holy Fist! No one talks about this man, and he should become the Master Roshi of ff14! We need a pervy sage XD

For the record, I support this being in the lore forum. There’s no “character” forum, it’s discussion will likely involve story anyway, and if it was in General it would just end up on page 4 lost between threads complaining about add on bans.

Okay not knocking your choices, just genuinely curious: Brithael? Why? When it comes to characterization, are you also including his post-arr content? I have only done his arr line, but in that he hardly stands out as having much more characterization than the merchant he’s kinda fueding with. Definitely way less to him than any of your other ARR picks. IMO, at least.

(Nothing against the BSM quests of course.)

Honestly, though I was afraid to click it at the time(tho not *nearly* as afraid as Godbert’s options later), Hamon looked damn good in those outfits he was modeling in LLD. Like, good for him, you know? I actually bought his “now I’m gonna go be a ladies man” line a bit after seeing him in those outfits. Amazing what getting rid of that horrible hat of his accomplished.



My top 10:
G’raha
Alisaie
Feo Ul
Urianger
Ardbert
Thancred
Vrtra
Hythlodaeus
Hien
Moenbryda


Honorable mentions: Baderon, Giott, the Fortemps family, Lyna, Jullus, and Nidhana.

And also Livingway. Every other line from her sends me.

I genuinely like a great deal of the cast, though, so it’s hard to pick favorites.

My top ten:

1. Emet-Selch
2. Hythlodaeus
3. Elidibus
4. Yotsuyu
5. Nero
6. Fordola
7. Cylva
8. Ysayle
9. Unukalhai
10. Edda

With honourable mentions to Alpha (even I could not resist his cuteness), Feo Ul (her sass! <3) and the shoebill for actually giving me a jump-scare when I first saw it (zoomed right in, panned across... Massive grumpy bird glaring at me... actually got startled, loved it) also for becoming a favourite side-mystery... oh, and the mysterious beavers!

Hmmm, in no particular order...

Alisaie
Estinien
Hien
Zenos
Lyse
Cid
Nero
Aymeric
Sidurgu
Rielle
Fray
Karasu Redbeak
Fordola
Gaius
Haurchefant

I like his design and although I started in Gridania, La Noscea as a whole was my favourite region back in ARR. Characters who are a little rough around the edges also appeal to me in general.
