Well, I’m only part way through 8. (Up to the hidden country out in the ice whose name escapes me.) But so far Quistis’s personality is just fine. Overachiever, competent, plays a mean game of cards, and has a whip! Way better than that ditzy puppy-dog, Rinoa. “Can I come too? can I, can I, can I? Lookie, I’m revolutionary!” I’d be mad at Squall for getting so hung up on her and ignoring the mega-babe that was in front of him the whole time, except… oh yeah Squall’s a big sullen immature idiot I don’t care about anyway. 🙂 Man, I miss Cloud… Honestly, it’s been so long since I played anything \ **Author:** ![ravesaint](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/r/eb8c5e/32.png) [@ravesaint](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/ravesaint)\ **Post date:** [July 15, 2002, 9:30pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-bodacious-babe-in-a-final-fantasy-game/119000/22 "2002-07-15T21:30:47Z") **NOBODY** else picked Aeris!?! Great, then I can have her :). She just seemed like the sweetest of them all. So many FF characters are gloomy, I liked her optimistic attitude. I was so mad when Sephiroth? sneak attacked her. Bastard. I don’t think I’ve ever cried at a movie, but I had trouble holding it back when I watched Cloud let her go into the water. Damn, I’m a dork. ---

What about the White Mage in Final Fantasy 1? Or Venus from Final Fantasy Legend 2? They’re both gorgeous! _goes to find more Magi_ ---

Just for character-development and personality, she’s one of my all-time favourites. They could have played her as the all-wise, all-perfect earth-priestess, but she was a lot more complex. I’d rather have her in my party for support than Tifa. And Great Gospel is my favourite all-time limit break.🆒 ---

Eh… server ate my post. I was going to vote for Quistis, since she has that Jeri Ryan “hot for the teacher” thing going on. (also, anybody with a following of Trepe Groupies must be hot) ---

Are we allowed to use the [8-Bit Theater](http://www.nuklearpower.com/comic/) versions of the characters? If so, then Princess Sara. ---

Hmm…let’s see how the old memory’s working today. Princess Sara, as depicted in 8-Bit Theater, is the composite of two characters from FF3 (released for the 8-bit Nintendo only in Japan). Her “evil outfit” which she wore while working with Garland is how Princess Sara actually looks in FF3. Her other outfit is a character named Elia from later in the game. ---

Well, her sprites were composites (he does also use her FF1 “overhead map” sprites occasionally), but if you ask me, “bodacious” also includes personality. ---
