Favorite Final Fantasy Character collection

[Klatuk4u]

I am working on a new RPG maker idea with a Final Fantasy cosplay themed story and I wanted to ask a question of anyone with a moment to answer. Could I ask anyone reading this, to post their favorite Playable character from each final fantasy that you have played. Example: If you only played FF2, FF6, FF7, and FF13, then pick your favorite playable character from each and yoru answer would be something like this:
FF2: Firion
FF4: Kain
FF6: Celes
FF7: Cid
FF13: Lightning
Then make sure to point out who your favorite of thoses choices is.
It can be for any reason whatsoever. Only playable characters please, and no villains, or guest characters like General Leo, or Beatrix(I know they are cool, but I need to narrow the selection). Thank you to anyone who posts, as you are helping me out.
Here are my Choices:
FF1: Fighter
FF2: Firion
FF4: Kain
FF6: Edgar (Favorite)
FF7: Barrett
FF8: Quistis
FF9: Vivi
FF10: Lulu
FF12: Balthier
FF13: Fang
There ya go. Thanks again
!!! UPDATE !!!
After having discussed it with the other person making the game the following games are acceptable to include: Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Tactics, Tactics Advanced, Tactics advanced 2, Any 2 title (Final Fantasy X-2/13-2) or any sequel/spin off game attached to one of the main games(Crisis Core). Dissidia is just characters from the others, but if you want to pick a good guy from dissidia then sure. No other series i.e. Kingdom Hearts, Chrono trigger(though its awesome!) ect....
Sorry Kingdom Heart fans, do not hate me, but I am just not a real fan of the series. Plus that would open the list to disney characters, so that would be too inclusive. HOWEVER If you like a Final fantasy character that appears in kingdom hearts, and that is your only experience with that character(and they are a good guy) then you can nominate them as a choice. That is fine.
