Going off a topic Rowde made earlier, which FFVI character do you find yourself closely connected to? Personally, I have to say Cyan. Noble at heart, who can't accept the death of his family until they tell him that he has to let go, and a fierce fighter, with a strong sense of justice. Something about him clicked in me and just . . . connected on a video game level.
So, who's yours? Let's hear it!

That’s a tough question; I would probably have to say Edgar. He has a good sense of morals added with his fondness in women. He was also one of my favorite characters, there probably is someone else who would match more but I don’t remember all of the character in that Final Fantasy, there were quite a few.

My my...
Please don't consider this a personal attack Zhou Lide, but one of has a misconception about FFT. See, what I got from the story is that Delita "tried" to walk against the tide, but he ended up getting swollen by the same pool of corruption as everyone else. Sure, he denied his place in society, and marched upward in the ranks of social status, but in the end he only became everything that he had hated in the first place. The one who truly walked against the tide was Ramza.Zhou Lide wrote:I think I am most like Delita, I hate more than anything to be used, and I always like Delita did, go against the tide.
I got this theory because I think the tide that Delita speaks of is the people's obsession with social class. I like to think of it as a whirlpool. Everything is spiraling downward from the top. If you look at it like that, Delita did climb the social ladder to a surprising height, but he never really walked against the tide. Ramza was the one who eventually reached the top and broke free.
Personally, I could never really like Delita either. I did feel for him. He suffered many terrible losses and indignities. However, the tactics he employed to become king were no different from those of Dycederg. Delita's strategy was just better. Evil begets evil though. Like I said, I feel that in the end Delita just became everything he hated most. He allowed himself to be swept back into the tide that he struggled so hard to break free from. Which is why the good ending, although terribly sad, is a very fitting end for him. ***SPOILER*** I was happy when Ophelia killed Delita. In the end, death was the only thing that could set him free from his insatiable desire for revenge.

Rowde, you are my post-killer. 
Everytime I see a post and think of a response, I scroll down and see nearly the exact same thought in your post. This has happened more than once, at least five times.
Well, I guess I should add which Final Fantasy character is most like myself: none
I never agree with everything a character does in a Final Fantasy. I understand and feel their action, but I often disagree with them. The closest would have to be from the Quest-made FF as well, Ramza. I went through a similar situation of being disillusioned with everything I believed in (though not nearly as dramatic) and I wanted to run away, but I have since learned my place in the world and pretty much know why things happen. I've come out older, stronger, wise and better off in general.
Although I believe that Denim and Vice were better characters than Ramza and Delita because they were more dynamic and stronger characters in my opinion. Denim in the Lawful route follows his orders and murders innocent people because he doesn't know who he is and is vunerable at the time. The rest of the game is pretty much his redemption and atoning for his sin. He learns to deal and cope with who he is and grows as a person unlike a character in a video game. If you haven't played Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, I suggest you try it out. It pretty much where the Quest team got their basis for FFT, but the characters, "villians" and battles are much more real. There is no evil force (exluding a few fantasy elements and the last boss), in fact in the end you don't really know what is right and what is wrong. As opposed to FFT, where it is good vs evil and you know what you're doing is right.

Rowde, I'm sorry, I know how the game turns out, and I know Delita takes all the glory, back stabs his friends and becomes all that he hates while Ramza does all the work, but I mean in the beginning of the game you can't help but feel for him, and Chapter 1, specifically is the Delita that reminds me of me.
