5 Final Fantasy Characters Who Really Deserved Their Own Spin-Off Game

Auron

Everybody’s favourite samurai warrior priest ghost, Auron somehow manages to pull off some of the other FF protagonists’ trademark tropes without ending up looking like a backing dancer in Cyberpunk: The Musical.

He’s got Cloud’s ludicrously overpowered sword, but you can bet your life Auron doesn’t get any jibes about overcompensating for something. He’s got Vincent’s scarlet coat, but no-one cracks wise to him about looking like a wimpy Dracula wannabe, unless they've become disillusioned with the integrity of their spinal column.

Maybe it’s the sunglasses and thousand-yard stare. Maybe it’s the voice so deep even hell itself couldn’t hold him. It could even be the fact that he carries around a gallon jug of Sake just for a cheeky swig mid-battle. All we know is, Auron don’t take no crap, and that’s the kind of spin-off players need – taking names and showing those monsters just who the hell is boss around here.  The other protagonists can suck it; Auron is a thousand times the man they’ll ever be, without even being fully corporeal.  You tell ‘em Auron. I mean, Sir.
