Tidus Tidus is a cheerful, light-hearted young Blitzball player for the Zanarkand Abes. After being mistreated by his infamous father Jecht and suffering numerous amounts of ridicule due to his apparant lack of Blitzball ability Tidus became dedicated to becoming a better player than his father could ever be. Rising to fame as the star player of Zanarkand he gains confidence which was never helped by Jecht.
As a warrior Tidus is agile and strong with the ability to bring down quick moving foe when others will serve a swing and miss. He specialises in simple spells.
Yuna Yuna is a sensible, quiet individual who values the people of Spira more than anything else. Her father was the high summoner Braska who brought about the previous 'Calm'. To follow his path Yuna courageously sets out on a pilgrimage to gain each of the required aeons before facing Sin and hopes to defeat him.
As a warrior Yuna can be seen as a healer, she is quick to learn the high level healing spells which are vital in difficult battles and also a variety of spells which negate magical attacks on allies. Her physical attacks are ineffective yet her ability to summon means she can deal devastating blows to the enemy.
Auron Auron is a serious and wise man. He is legendary in Spira for accompaning the High Summoner Braska on his pilgrimage 10 years prior to meeting up with Tidus. He is a powerful and fiecre warrior with an amazing and intimidating air.
As a warrior Auron is an incredible physical force but is not so much a magical one. Almost all his blades have the Piercing ability which means he is perfect for attacking enemies with hard shells or strength. However he moves slowly and can not attack nimble or flying enemies with ease. His HP and strength has the ability to sky-rocket when the Sphere grid is used correctly.
Wakka Wakka is a fun-loving, joker who enjoys placing a little comic relief into many situations. He is the captain of the Besaid Aurochs and though hes a quite competant player plans to retire so he can dedicate all his time to being Yuna's guardian. Since he had lost his brother, Tidus seems to be adopted as some form of replacement in Wakka's mind.
As a warrior Wakka is most effective when used against flying foe. His blitzball weapons can be thrown to great heights allowing flying enemies to be brought down without the use of spells. He is a strong attacker yet has issues when it comes to defense.
Lulu Lulu is a solemn and wise character which is an essential aspect of the party. Though she can seem insensitive at times Lulu does in fact have a softer side, especially when it comes to Yuna who is treated much like a little sister. She can be sarcastic and forth right at times not caring for how it is seen by others but knowing she is speaking the truth and it must be heard.
As a warrior Lulu is solely a magical fighter. Her physical attacks are often ineffective and instead one must rely on her supreme abilities related to black magic. Her spellcasting can be classified as amazing and powerful though her physical defense is low.
Rikku Rikku is a lively, cheery, upbeat girl who seems to always have a positive perspective on life. She is part of the Al-Bhed who are based in the desert at a camp called Home. She has the incredible ability to steal, dismantle machines and use Al-bhed potions which can be highly beneficial. Doesn't join the party until you reach Moonflow though she is introduced early in the game to Tidus.
As a warrior Rikku is excellent for fighting machine based enemy as she can dismantle them instantly by stealing important equipment. Her physical attacks can be weak so she is best used for her Steal and Grenade abilities.
