The Warriors of Light Fight as One!
Candidates: The Warriors of Light
Game of Origin: Final Fantasy (NES, 1987)
I've noticed a few character suggests for Squaresoft/SquareEnix characters, which is nice but no one can deny that the original Final Fantasy is what help raise Square back from the ashes.
Who are they?
Prophesied by the Sage Lukahn, four warriors, each bearing a crystal, shall come during a time of great darkness and restore the balance back to the elements of the world. Their quest starts them off in the kingdom of Cornelia to save the captured princess, Sarah, from the corrupted knight, Garland. Each hero is assigned one of six Job Classes, Warrior, Monk, Thief, Black Mage, White Mage, and Red Mage, each having a different playstyle and contribution to the team.
Why them?
No one can deny that Final Fantasy is an iconic game and the Final Fantasy franchise is popular, so why not have their first heroes join the fray?
