Ah, the joys of Limit Gloving grand dragons and gaining dozens of levels on the first trip through Gizamaluke's Grotto...

 

[Gaia Lanzer]

What was even the point of Amarant?

Click to shrink...

Nothing of interest. They should've just let Beatrix be the 8th character, or Lani. Just add a bit more to Lani if that was the case, as she already had MORE a personality and presence than Amarant ever did. Maybe they didn't want to break the "3 girl" tradition.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

I liked quistis honestly. She at least had some relevance and background.

Redhead from ff9 I can't even be bothered to remember.

 

[daveo42]

Half the cast of FFVIII. The entire cast of FFXII outside of Han and Chewbacca. The entire cast of FFXIII. Everyone not Noctis in FFXV.

 

[Deleted member 38050]

Yeah, gotta be Amarant or Quistis imo. Quistis is especially bad because she's with you for the entire game and still ends up being completely forgettable. At least Amarant has the "arrives late" excuse

 

[Poppy]

see the thing is that i usually only play ff8 for like 10-15 hours before i realize it isn't worth the trouble so i remember quistis very well!

 

[Deleted member 12833]

Whole FFIX cast besides vivi and Steiner

 

[Lunchbox]

I blocked everyone who shit on Penelo

 

[gogosox82]

Amarant is the correct answer.

That Vanille dude or whatever from XIII. His name is basically Vanilla, like come on. Actually I'd go so far as to say the entire cast of XIII are pretty forgettable.

Click to shrink...

Vanille was a girl my dude.

 

[Mr. X]

You can throw a rock at the cast of 8 and hit one.

 

[Timppis]

Anyone saying Amarant is probably close.

I love FFIX too much to be any sort of objective voice of reason here, but for me FFXII and FFXIII are the games with least memorable cast. Couldn't say anything about Snwo if my life depended on it.

 

[InfiniDragon]

I blocked everyone who shit on Penelo

Click to shrink...

Penny is great. She's always in my group, usually as a ninja/black mage hybrid.

Yeah, her literal only purpose for being there was because she was Vaan's girlfriend and some asshole pirate mistook her for Balthier's girl and kidnapped her, but I still liked her character and really loved her XII design so I personally can't put her on this list in good conscience.

 

[Gots]

Amarant is the correct answer.


Vanille was a girl my dude.

Click to shrink...

Ugh I'm talking about Hope apparently. See, Hope was indeed incredibly forgettable, I just proved it

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Obvious answers are Amarant and Ward, as far as long term party members from mainline games go.
If you wanna count spinoffs, the Type-0 cast is pretty forgettable, but Trey in particular is the most forgettable.
Then there's the Tactics games, which is kinda cheating, because of course they have a whole bunch of named nobodies you can recruit into your army.

If you count the pre-PSX mainline games.......Probably Scott.

Click to shrink...

Ward is memorable for being one of the last silent protagonists in the series.

 

[sfortunato]

And lol at that FFXV post. there are only 4 characters. You can't forget them no matter how much you dislike the game.

Click to shrink...

You might remember them---forgettable means that they are not relevant, they are boring and one-dimensional.

 

[AuthenticM]

It's Amarant. Dude has no backstory or development, and the first time I replayed FFIX years after release, I had completely forgotten about him. As in, up until the point the game introduces him, I wasn't expecting him to show up.

 

[Opa-Opa]

Kimahri

Coral

Quistis

Penelo

Yuffie

Click to shrink...

Not Yuffie... but outside that, list is very accurate

 

[antitrop]

A lot of quistis hate here.

This is the chick that's only one year old than the emo she's obsessed with yet wets herself every time she speaks to him.

She has plenty of character opportunities compared to other FF cast members.

She even has a miniature gun blade.

Click to shrink...

She's only one year older?! wtf

 

[Lunchbox]

Penny is great. She's always in my group, usually as a ninja/black mage hybrid.

I loved Revenant Wings :P still haven't beaten XII.. at the end I presume I've sat it down for so long :/

 

[mute]

Quistis is great.

Has the devour comic been posted yet?

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

It's Blank from FF9.

 

[signal]

It's Blank from FF9.

Click to shrink...

If temporary party members count there are probably way more forgettable people than Blank. Even in 9 itself, let alone the whole franchise.

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

Well you did say party members, but didn't exclude temporaries. What say you?

Plus his name is perfect for his forgettableness.

 

[steviestar3]

I think Amarant is actually so forgettable that he turns it around and is memorable for that reason. Like he's actually notorious for being forgettable.

I'm going to go with Irvine because he joins late, sucks in battle and is fairly useless to the plot.

 

[Dragoon]

Dreadlocks FFIX
Khimari FFX
Vaan FFXII (a main character shouldn't be that unremarkable)
entire cast of FFXIII

 

[Tuorom]

Amarant. I only remembered his name reading this thread. I was going to say that dude with a claw weapon and red hair.

What does he even do in the story? I can't remember him saying more than like one sentence.

Kimarhi may be lame gameplay wise, but he is really involved in the story and a big blue cat. I would hardly say he is forgettable.

 

[Bard]

As a stout Amarant defender I just want to say, fuck this entire thread. That is all.

 

[Jonathan Lanza]

I'm gonna go with Selphie. Her design is really unimpressive and while I usually love "excited genki girl" personality types, I dunno she just never really jumped out at me. Though I consider most of the VIII cast kinda forgettable anyway.

 

[Rust]

For all the Final Fantasy XV talk, people at least remember that there are four guys in the group.

However, there's the FIFTH guy that people look over. So, so bland.

 

[Astral]

How yeah Noel, lmao. Strong contender there.

Click to shrink...

You guys suck. Noel is the best character in the XIII games besides Sazh.

My answer is Freya and Quina and basically everyone not Squall and Rinoa in VIII. The only reason Amarant isn't included here is because I had him in my party. He was the worst member of my party.

 

[gogosox82]

Ugh I'm talking about Hope apparently. See, Hope was indeed incredibly forgettable, I just proved it

Click to shrink...

lol thought you were talking about hope and yeah terrible character. That whole arch with him and Snow is just so so bad.

 

[Mechanized]

I forgot the little rat girl summoner thing even existed in FF9 until I played the re release on Switch. I remembered Amarant because he was so forgettable.

 

[Firebrand]

Everyone in FF8. Also that Amarant dude from FF9.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I loved Revenant Wings :P still haven't beaten XII.. at the end I presume I've sat it down for so long :/

What's with the lack of underwear

 

[ThisThingIsUseful]

Tidus

poof

Click to shrink...

psh Yuna said to never forget so psh

 

[ThisThingIsUseful]

I honestly don't understand the Cait Sith answers.

Maybe for some of you he really is the most forgettable, and I know many don't like him as a party member.

But, like, if you can forgive a few

OPEN SPOILERS (for those of you who for some reason play many FFs but not 7)


I find it hard to forget the Shinra character? The scene where he gives Shinra the black materia was surprising for me at the time, especially knowing there was a spy, and then there's the whole Rufus scene where he shouts, "CLOUD! BARRETT! I'M SORRY!" near the end because apparently he's found out.

I dunno, for the purposes of the story, it's hard for me to forget him.

Or any of the 7 cast.

Caith Sith and Quina jumped in my mind first.

Click to shrink...

See what jumps in last and that's probably the answer. =P

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Tidus

poof

Click to shrink...

How can someone forget this

 

[kittens]

I'll never forget Quistis because I was so hot for teacher back in the day.

Click to shrink...

loool same

 

[Askherserenity]

Like 80% of all FF characters.

 

[Coinspinner]

I'm sure I've partied with hundreds of FFXI players whose names and appearances I've totally forgotten.

 

[Piscus]

Dreadhead from FFIX. What a weak origin story.

 

[Easy_D]

Definitely Amarant, though his theme rocks so maybe not, hm.

 

[Joltik]

I forgot Amarant was character in FFIX until I read this thread and I like FFIX. I can't remember if I ever had him in my party since he's such a late-commer. Does he learn any useful skills? What was his weapon type again?

 

[Bricktop]

Every one of Noctis' buddies in FFXV.

 

[brinstar]

I love FFIX and I'd still vote Amarant and I think he's cool, but he just barely gets anything to do. Irvine from FFVIII is the runner up for me.

 

[OdjnRyu]

"PS1 era and later"

pfft!

 

[DeathPeak]

Whoever said the cowboy from FFVIII was the right answer. Completely forgot about him until they mentioned him.

 

[HK-47]

Vaan and Penelo weren't even supposed to be in the game. That makes them the most forgettable.

Click to shrink...

That's just not true

 

[DrForester]

Vann and Penello.

Once the full party gets together they pretty much vanish into the background of the narrative.
