Favorite Final Fantasy Character(s)?

So what are your favorite Final Fantasy Character(s)? Optionally what are your favorite Job Classes from the FF universe? Who would your ultimate 4 member party consist of (chose 4 because I feel that's the right mix of balance yet being powerful)? My favorite actual characters in no particular order are: Tifa, Sabin, Cecil, Cyan, Vivi, Shadow, Rydia, Cloud, Kain, Sephiroth, Edgar, Barret, Gau, and Steiner. My favorite job classes again in no particular order: Ninja, Summoner, White Mage, Fighter, Black Mage and Theif (well I more like begrudgingly have someone learn some thief skills because who knows when stealing will be useful) My party (assuming the combat was in the classic turn based not tactical world) would consist of Tifa equipped with some healing and thief skill related materia so I can have a healer who can also hit quite hard and attempt to steal, A random generic character who learned a bit of Black Magic and summons, a Ninja who also learned some thieving skills so s/he can also attempt to steal and Sabin equipped with some Espers that grant healing spells. With this foursome I figure I have a good mix of people that can hit physically hard, a couple of healers who can heal when they are not busy hitting dudes hard, a couple thieves that can attempt to steal when we do not need so many dudes to be hit hard, and if things get really hairy, someone who can use some fairly powerful black magic or summons (though I doubt I'd be casting anything like Meteo or summoning Bahamut for a LOONG time due to my mages duel classing nature. Also, upon thinking about this yet not feeling like typing most of my post again I would like to put in some of my other favorite characters and just give them Materia/Espers that would give them the desired skills and spells...but at this point Im lazy :p
