So many to choose from.. From the loud-mouthed to the silent.. Young to old.. Somewhat useless to somewhat cuddly.
I won't go into great lengths now because I'd like to hear opinions from others..
..but I won't keep you in suspense. My personal favorite is Locke because hes so firm in being noted as a "Treasure Hunter" instead of thief. Also "steal" gets you access to some great items that are either unique or available much earlier via thievery. Plus hes sneaky, a romantic, and thats not touching the fact his love is in a basement basically dead yet being kept alive in hope of a cure.
My least favorite is a tie between Relm and Gau.. they have interesting stories and designs but their special skills are lacking.
