1. Lightning>Literal Goddess, defeated Bhunivelze, a Creator God among Creator Gods2. WoL XIV>Has done everything all the other protags has by this point and much more, excluding LightningA. An Ocean of a Power Gap 3. Adventurer XI = Onion Knight (=? Bartz)>Both have defeated multi-dimensional threats in Promathia and The Cloud of Darkness. Bartz may or may not be placed in this tier since it was never clear if Neo Exdeath was on The Cloud Darkness' level.4. Squall >Defeated a cosmic threat in Time Compression UltimeciaB. Power Gap5. Cloud>Defeated a stellar threat in Safer Sephiroth6. Noctis = Clive = Bartz = The Warrior of Light = Zidane>All their final bosses were planetary threats to varying extents, and should be about the same level. Though I'd say end of game King Noctis is most likely the strongest among them.7. Terra>Defeated a global threat in Kefka6. Cecil = Firion = Tidus>These three generally occupy a vague territory where you can tell they're not on the other protagonists' levels, but you're not sure to what extent or how they'd rank among themselves. Their final bosses felt like they should have been impressive, but never did all that much.C. Power Gap7. Vaan>By far the weakest of the mainline protagonists, seeing as Ivalice is meant to be a lot more grounded than the rest of FF. No enemies he faced were ever anything special in the grand scheme of things.
>>739382780>XI WoL below XIV WoL>XI WoL below ANYONEBrother, XI WoL is simultaneously two different Gods at once. He didn't beat Peak Cloud of Darkness as some significant task, he did it to pull a victory lap on reality and give Iroha a happy ending after ascending. On top of that he has Shantotto on speed dial.And Bhunivelze isn't a 'creator God', FNC Gods are comically inept immortal retards who get fluffed up to look important.
>>739382780>Cosmic terror utlimate universe spanning time travelling omega gods>All defeated by sword attacks and razzle dazzle magicThe most powerful protag is the braindead player base's suspension of disbelief
>>739385449Razzle dazzle is cracked
This is incorrect. The real power levels are:>Lightning>Gap>Zidane (theoretical)>Cloud>Squall>Terra>Zidane (actual)>Noctis>Bartz>Firion>TidusDunno about 16.
>>739385590She's literally perfect
>>739382780Correct.
>>739385590Shantoto is NOT the protagonist wtf
>>739389524dissidia has done irreparable damage to the average power scaling ff tard
>>739389524>>739389818Shantotto's power level is OOHOHOHOHO
>>739382780>(=? Bartz)>implying Cloud of Darkness is even on par Exdeath, let alone somehow strongerThe level of disrespect for /OURTREE/ is off the fucking charts.
Why they always try to make Cloud and Squall as some sort of iconic duo?
>>739391647Written by the same guy, one came out right after the other, similar personalities (somewhat), most iconic PS1 protags, lots of reasons really
