Final Fantasy Character Showdown! Winner!

This is a 64 character tournament to see who is the strongest Final Fantasy character of all time. Vote in the poll between each pair of characters and every couple of days or so I will update the poll. I have marked the pairs of characters with letters to show who's fighting who. There are four divisions, the 8-bit Division, the 16-bit Divison, the Next-Gen Division, and the Wild Card Divison (the division names mean nothing as the characters are all mixed up). We'll do those and then go to a final four.

We'll start with 8-bit Division Round 1! Get to voting!

I haven't played all of these games, but I'm sure I could get a good idea of who to vote for. Sounds like fun. *thinks*

I vote Celes beacuse she's hot.
Edit: Bahs. I too misrelized the multi-vote trick.

Long live Josef!

Edit: Oh, it's multi-vote. I don't remember who I voted for then. Josef was one of them though.

This idea rawks.

Poor Josef has a tough opponent. Maybe I should have stuck him with Lulu.

Ooh this looks fun.
I voted Yuna, Black Wizard, Cid, Vivi, Squall, Celes, Mog and Rosa..I think. I probably got mixed up in there somewhere. And I didn't know some of the characters *needs to play those games*

How could anyone vote against Adlai Stevenson? :(

I had a feeling that the Lulu - Black Wizard battle would be a good one.

personally i think cloud or bartz but they were'nt there,


but the next best thing....Cid

Remember everyone, this is a multiple select poll, and you can vote for more than one person at a time. So select one person in each lettered pair to vote for them. There are still 3 divisions left to go, so Cloud or Bartz may be in those, you never know! (It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Cloud wouldn't be left out :p).

Here is a bracket. The rest of the divisions will be revealed later to build suspense.

Yuna and Lulu belong to 8-Bit division? Hmm...

Here are my votes:

Yuna vs Gordon - Yuna
Black Wizard vs Lulu - Black Wizard
Cid vs Josef - Cid
Vivi vs Gogo - Vivi
Squall vs Galuf - Squall
Celes vs Agrias - Celes
Mog vs Red Wizard - Mog
Rosa vs Quistis - Rosa

WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE LIKE GOGO!?!?!??!11?1?1?1!!

Poor Gogo, she/he/it has feelings too :cry:

Those were mine too.

looks like i voted for every1 who was winning NEway, apart from lulu and balck mage were close but my wote for lulu may of gave her the edge, but its hard to tell
I sure hope u get cloud, sephiroth, well most the FFVII crew and FFX crew into this. maybe u could of done a bracket for each game then had the best play the best.
but maybe next time

Cid Highwind deserves a lot better than a 4-seed, man. And there's no way that Yuna is one of the Dukes or Kentuckys of Final Fantasy. :p

Yuna (and only Yuna) has access to some of the most powerful attacks ever seen in Final Fantasy. Her ability to summon six or seven beasts per battle that do hoards of damage and take hits of their own is unmatched by anyone on that board. In my opinion she can wipe the floor with anyone and is one of the most powerful Final Fantasy character ever.

Hm, looking back now Cid should have switched with Mog so I agree with you. The seedings were loosely done based on my opinion of the strength, importance, and likability of each character. If there is a next time I will seed them based on these results I assure you.

I'll start round 2 tomorrow evening sometime, or however long it takes for the Black Wizard to beat Lulu. :D

Actually, that's true now that I think about it. Yojimbo meant an instant kill on anything, and Anima meant 1.6 million HP worth of damage, if I remember rightly.

But Gogo could have mimiced that if it was in Yuna's party, yet you all forget it! :(

Gogo = Gonzaga

It makes perfect sense. Too bad he's gettin' beaten.

Here are the 8-bit Division Round 1 results! No upsets really thus far, but that can all change in this round.

<b>Yuna - ||||\||||\|| 12</b>
Gordon - || 2

Black Wizard - ||||\| 6
<b>Lulu - ||||\|| 7</b>

<b>Cid - ||||\||||\||||\|| 17</b>

On to Round 2. Voting is the same, select one character from each lettered pair in the poll. Voting ends 2 days from now.

I see Del and I disagree on everyone there, except one.

This is gettin' way more interesting after just one round. It made for some really good matchups in this round. *votes*

We have our first same game match with Lulu vs. Yuna, and for some reason it's a close one. (you people make me sick)

yuna, cid, celes, and mog. tbqh the only one i found at all difficult to decide was yuna vs. lulu.

Originally posted by The Man

Those were my votes too.

Tough decision? Here's some help:

Lulu: Eat Flare! *casts Flare*
Yuna: *summons Bahamut to absorb Flare so doesn't get scratched* You were saying?
Lulu: *doesn't get a turn because Flare makes her so DAMN SLOW*
Yuna's turn: *does nothing because she can*
Yuna's turn again: regular attack kills Lulu in one hit

Originally posted by Del Murder

Or even better:
YUNA: "Feel my pain! Come, Anima!"
(Anima reaches her Overdrive and uses Oblivion to blow Lulu to bits. Overkill and 2,500,000+ damage.)

Lulu [random pick beacuse I haven't played X] Vivi [Haven't played IX but I HATE THE CID TRADITION, ENOUGH WITH THE STUPID CID ALREDY!], Celes[ Eye candy of FF6] , and Rosa [Slight Celes look-alike]

cid in ff7 is pretty crappy, really. vivi however is quite powerful.

cid.

Hmmm, maybe you should of had all the rounds of 16, then 8s ect, know what I mean...?That way we dont know the final four until the very end, instead of knowing 1 finalist for a month then the next.

Lulu, Cid, Celes, Mog were my votes though

Nah, I'd rather the winners square (get it?) off again right away to continue the momentum.

cid in ff7 was actually one of my favourite cids. ff4 and ff9 had really good cids as well. i think thus far cid in ff6 has been my least favourite, he's pretty bland really.

cid vs. vivi is a tough matchup and i've been known to vote either way, but whatever ;)

oh come on people!
Lulu & Vivi are WAY more powerful than Yuna & Cid (respectively)

Seriously though, I want someone to come up with a scenario where Lulu beats Yuna, keeping in mind that Yuna can summon powerful beasts to do her work for her while Lulu cannot.

(Lulu gets a Preemptive Attack)
LULU: "Double-cast Ultima!"
(Lulu casts Ultima twice, dealing 2*99,999 damage. Goodbye, Yuna.)

Psh, preemptive. Such cheating.

<b>Cid - ||||\||||\|| 12</b>

<b>Celes - ||||\||||\ 10</b>
Squall - |||| 4

Rosa - |||| 4
<b>Mog - ||||\||||\| 11</b>

On to the semifinals! Here are your matchups:

Yuna (X) vs. Cid (VII)
Highwind seems to be dominating and Yuna just barely got out of a tough match with her guardian. Can she summon her way to victory over this master of airships?

Celes (VI) vs. Mog (VI)
A pair of FFVI greats go at it head to head. Can Mog's flashy dancing beat the runic blade? Will Celes continue momentum after an upset over Squall? You be the judge!

Get to voting.

i've got to go for cid and mog.

i didn't really consider celes' victory over squall to be much of an upset either; by my estimation, squall is the least popular main character since frionel or whatever they called him in origins

Yeah, you're probably right, but it was according to my unofficial seeding.

fair enough then ;)

I like Mog a bit, but I like Celes better.

*votes Cid and Celes*

Hey! I thought Squall was good until he started being all lovey rather than "...Whatever" because that's just the opposite of how a traditional hero is.

Oh, and in Origins his name was Firion. Probably.

Frionel is such a better name than Firion, IMO. :p

Argh. I voted Celes then accidently hit vote before voting Yuna.

Took care of it for you.

Very close battles this time! (go Yuna!)

Aww man, what is this!?

<font size="5"><b>GO </b></font><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/mogsmile.gif" height="50" width="45"/>

CELES BEAT AGRIAS??? man! did any of you even play the 2 games?!?
holy hell...

*votes Cid and Celes.* Yuna in FFX is boring. She's pretty cool in FFX-2, but Cid's still greater, IMHO. As for Celes, I think she's a lot stronger than Mog.

Ooh, Cid pulls ahead, and Celes has some good separation on Mog now.

Cid better advance, dammit. >:O

celes sucks.

Why are these races so close? They really shouldn't be.

Looks like it's all over for Yuna :(

Cid all the way!

Only because <a href="http://forums.eyesonff.com/memberlist.php?s=&ltr=Y">these people</a> haven't voted yet.

cid sucks

Things are heating up in the 8-bit Division, though all the 8-bit contestants are long gone.

Yuna - ||||\| 6
<b>Cid - ||||\||||\|| 12</b>

<b>Celes - ||||\||||\| 11</b>
Mog - ||||\|| 7

Now for today's matchup:

Cid (VII) vs. Celes (VI)
These two superpowers collide in an inter-system finals! Will Cid be able to trash talk his way out of this one? Or will Celes put her magical powers to the test? One of these two will make it to the Final Four!

I know where *my* loyalties lie.

GO Cid GO!

Down with the Cid tradition! Go Celes go!

SIt down and drink your goddamn DEFEAT Celes!

Also note that Cid's victory over Yuna can be explained. Imagine if you will.

Yuna would indeed quickly summon, and would hurt Cid. But our potty mouth airship capitain is of the Dragoon tradition. So he can jump OVER the summon and take on the Summonner directly (can he, I say he can! So there! yes I know Kihmari can't jump enemy Summoners) Yuna becomes Summonner on a stick, Cid has a nice smoke. (smoking is bad kids)




Of course, Yuna COUD have gotten out her FLYING Aeon but..... shut up, Cid won. Now if only he can take out the magic wielding general.

(mind you, Celes against Yuna. Would Celes runci abailty be able to prevent Yuna from summoning eveything, bringing it down to hand to hand? We shall never know)

Go on Cid! Do it! That's it!

Remove the word "Cid" and you got yourselves a quote from FFVII. Seriously, go find it, it's what an NPC says throughout the game, so it isn't that hard to find :D

Neither is really that strong, but Celes gets my vote for being an evil general and actually having skills without having to use any outside help (materia).

Celes has an early lead, but we had 20 votes last time so it's still anyone's game.

I find myself sorely unable to choose. Either character winning this division would make me very happy.

Just make it easy on yourself, Man. Vote Celes, since that's the obvious choice, anyway.

Nay, I vote for Cid! Now Celes better hold on to her drawers and not piss in 'em because Cid's going to send Celes on a break where she can sit her ass down on a chair and drink her goddamn tea.

nicely said, Sephiroth1999AD...but i vote for Celes :D her Paladin's Shield will protect her from all his attacks, then she'll clean out Cid's mouth with Ultima.

paladin shield goes to Locke, though.

and dual atma weapons to terra.

Here are the results and the winner of the 8-bit Division, moving to the Final Four:

Cid - ||||\|| 7
<b>Celes - ||||\|||| 9</b>

In a very close battle it looked like Celes edged out Mr. Highwind with a mix of Runic and powerful spells. She moves on to face the winner of the 16-bit Division, but first let's go to the Next-Gen Division. 16 more characters, but only one will make it to the end.

Remember to vote for one character per lettered pair.

I can't believe Relm is a 15 seed and white wizard (ff1) is 14. They are both strong characters. However, Steiner beats WW. Tough matchup. Relm waxes Rinoa, though. Then she sketches a new copy of Rinoa and slaughters her too. Locke should also be much higher, but he can beat the crap out of Benjamin.

Celes's victory makes me very happy.

I'm not familiar with a lot of these matchups, though, so I'll just vote on what I've heard over time.

all the favorites should win, excpet Relm beats Rinoa.

No love for the spy and Mystic Quest. Why am I not surprised?

who the hell voted Benjamin over Locke?

Don't blame me for the seedings, blame the official Final Fantasy Character Rankings.

Is there going to be a play-in game?

xD, yea between Edward and Black Belt, the two worst characters ever!

I forgot what I voted for already. [Yes, my memory is THAT bad.]

My votes:

A. Terra (VI)
B. Seifer (VIII)
C. Red XIII (VII)
D. Beowulf (Tactics)
E. Locke (VI)
F. Steiner (IX)
G. Rydia (IV)
H. Relm (VI)

np

Wow, Terra layin the smackdown. FFVI might dominate this thing.

That's 'cause Terra owns.

Here are the results for the Next-Gen Division Round 1:

<b>Terra - ||||\||||\|||| 14</b>
Cait Sith - | 1

Frionel - ||||\ 5 (:()
<b>Seifer - ||||\|||| 9</b>

<b>Red XIII - ||||\||||\ 10</b>

White Wizard - ||||\ 5

<b>Rydia - ||||\||||\ 10</b>
Cid - |||| 4

<b>Rinoa - ||||\||| 8</b>
Relm - ||||\| 6

Now vote on Round 2!

That was easy voting.

Terra, Red, Locke, Rydia.

Nanaki kinda sucks though. Summoner is pretty good.

Locke and Steiner are both good, but Locke is more good, I suppose.

ff6 characters > others
I choose Terra, Locke and Rydia to go to the next round, alongwith Red XIII.

Terra,[can use all sorts of magic without espers unlike most other characters], Summoner [can call really powerful monsters lke Bahamut], Steiner [Haven't played IX but I hate Locke], and Rydia [every black magic spell in the game along with every summon is awesome]

Terra, Red XIII, Locke, Rydia.

Originally posted by The Man

Sorry, but the answer we were looking for is Terra, <b>Summoner</b>, Locke, Rydia.

Good try though, thanks for playing. :)

Nay, Red XIII is one of the best characters in FFVII. And how does Summoner have a personality? =/

The same way that the characters in FFI have a personality, whatever I want it to be. :)

So my summoner is a pimp. http://foolsgold.kicks-ass.net/forum/images/smilies/ezpimp.gif

I really doubt either of them has a chance against Terra anyway.

Rydia's the only character in this group who *does* have a chance against Terra, by my reckoning.

I agree. I don't even know who I'm gonna vote for, when it comes down to them (because I know it will, for I am omnipotent).

GO RED XIII!!!!

Red XIII, while cool, doesn't even come close to deserving to win this round when Terra and Rydia are in it. He did win the FG tournament, though, and I still haven't a clue in hell as to how THAT happened.

Tina, Reddie, Rusty and Ryddee for me, please. :D

Results for Next-Gen Round 2:

<b>Terra - ||||\||||\|| 12</b>
Seifer - ||||\| 6

<b>Red XIII - ||||\||||\| 11</b>
Summoner - ||||\ 5

<b>Locke - ||||\|||| 9</b>
Steiner - ||||\|| 7

<b>Rydia - ||||\||||\|||| 14</b>
Rinoa - || 2

Now for the semifinals matchups!

Terra (VI) vs. Red XIII (VII)
It's the red beast versus the green haired half-esper. Both have their animalistic and human qualities. Will Terra be able to Ultima her way out of this repressed Cosmo Memory? Or is her time up with the Zozo clock strikes thirteen?

Locke (VI) vs. Rydia (IV)
The makings for an epic battle here, as we have a master thief versus a master summoner. Will Bahamut save Rydia before Locke is able to steal her clothes, leaving her stunned in nothing but her b. day suit?

Locke and Terra.

Terra and Rydia.

We can all see where this is going.

*votes for the green-haired girls*

Red XIII is one of the most different of all time!

Locke will steal all of Red XIII's materia, then Terra with the kickass green hair will ban him! XDDDDD (no, i'm not saying that i hate Red XIII...i just like Locke and Terra better XD)

*goes off to kill more CC haters*

I'll vote for those who are going to lose this round. So R and R for me, Red XIII and Rydia.

FF6 characters for me.

GO REDXIII!!!!

Here are the semifinal results for Nex-Gen Division:

<b>Terra - ||||\||||\| 11</b>
Red XIII - ||||\|| 7

<b>Locke - ||||\||||\| 11</b>
Rydia - ||||\ 5

Now for the finals, an all FFVI finals:

Terra (VI) vs. Locke (VI)
Well it looks like two FFVI titans will battle it out for a spot in the Final Four. Terra has the magical and physical talents, but Locke could very well steal this one. Should be quite a match.

This is where it gets tough. . . I might have to sleep on this one.

Locke! speed kills man!

Vote for the treasure hunter or he'll rip your lungs out!

Okay, okay, okay. I voted for Terra. It wasn't an easy choice, though.

And you probably could've convinced me otherwise. Though, you know, Terra would really beat the living daylights out of Locke.

no way, Locke would just dodge all her attacks.

But evade dosen't work in FF6, and she would only use magic anyway, and it's not like Locke can ever have enough HP to survive magic attacks, espically Ultima.

what are you talking about evade doesn't work? My Locke (admittedly with Illumina and Paladin Shield, MArvel Shoes, and a Zephyr Cape) evades basically all physical and magic attacks. And he would survive ultima and lay waste on Terra.

He'd be no match for her esper form.

terra is a better character, so i'm voting for her. i really couldnt give a toss who's more powerful in battle.

Locke

Morph is dumb though. It's a much better skill in ff7.

You know, the result of this matchup is going to pain me no matter how it turns out. :(

Wow, this is going down to the wire. Come on Terra!

I don't even remember who I voted for. I really liked both. Locke's my favorite guy character from FF, and Terra's my favorite girl.

I voted Terra because the staff harrassed me until I relented tears streaming down my face oh the horror Fleance!

Fleance!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

Locke wins. excellent.

Here is your winner for the Next-Gen Division, and one of the Final Four!

Terra - ||||\|||| 9
<b>Locke - ||||\||||\ 10</b>

A battle for the ages, this was the closest one yet. Terra went for her ultima attack, but Locke quickly dodged and stole this victory away from the green haired mage! Looks like honesty doesn't pay.

On to the Wild Card Division with 16 new characters battling it out for a shot versus Locke in the Final Four.

orlandu, zidane. faris, ninja, eiko, edgar, shadow, auron

Rydia is out. Quina is my last real hope.

Zidane? I hate you, eestlinc.

Onion Kid, Yang, Vincent, Paine, Edge, Edgar, Selphie and Auron.

But really, I have no idea outside of the two E's.

Nooo!! I read Edward vs. Tristam instead of Edgar vs. Tristam and voted Tristam. :cry:

Celes and Locke so far to the Final Four. Hmm... this could be a battle of the lovers.

I wish most of you have played Tactics to know how great TG Cid is, but that's ok.

Originally posted by Del Murder

He's great but I think half of his awesomeness comes from his Excalibur. Regardless I still voted for him.

Eiko is about 2000 times better than Edge.

Yang and Onion Kid better pull this one out. Also, Ninja should have more votes.

I knew I shouldn't have told Spuuky about this thing. He's ruining everything.

A. I didn't like Onion kids so much and I didn't play FFT that far, but I'll take Orlandu just because I've heard he's really powerful.

B. Zidane.

C. Vincent.

D. Here comes the Paine. This part is such a Paine-in-the-ass. Fine, I'll choose Paine.

E. Edge! Otherwise his could-become-a-girlfriend will end your reproductive years rather quickly.

F. I wouldn't like to support more FF6 characters (too many have already made it into the finals), but I don't know who in the blazes Tristam is, so I'll just vote for the pimp king.

G. Gah, again! I'd like to vote for Selphie just because she'll lose anyway, but she's a bit annoying whereas Shadow is pretty cool.

H. Go Auron.

i want edgar to drill holes through his enemies.....yes, i'm that much of a sadistic bastard :D

GO VINCENT!

Orlandu, Zidane, Faris, Paine, Edge, Edgar, Shadow, Auron

Ninja and Eiko are sorely underestimated by you people. sad, sad...

Wow, we had a very good round in Round 1 of this division. Lot's of close battles and a couple upsets (Edge over Eiko?? Paine? The hell?)

<b>Orlandu - ||||\|||| 9</b>
Onion Kid - ||||\|| 7 (not bad for an onion kid)

<b>Zidane - ||||\|||| 9</b>
Yang - ||||\|| 7

Selphie - |||| 4
<b>Shadow - ||||\||||\||| 13</b>

<b>Auron - ||||\||||\||||\ 15</b>
Reis - || 2

On to round 2!

the best ones are gone...well some of them...

orlandu, vincent, edgar, auron

Haha, battle of the mack daddies. That oughta be good.

Zidane, Vincent, Edgar and Shadow.

Yes, Edge and Edgar are the battle of the ladies-men.

Edge's lines are so much better than Edgar's. Don't belive me? "Whoa! I can't keep a pretty girl crying! *Rosa casts Cure2 on him* Say, you're hot too!" [Something like that, I haven't played all the way to that point in a while and my memory fades very fast] I only voted for Edge, beacuse the other FFs I haven't played are paired and I don't feel like picking a random one.

I like Edgar better, but voted for Edge becuase we need to get those FFVI characters out of there.

Why does the Edge/Edgar match have 10 votes while the Orlandu/Zidane match has only 6 votes?

My guess is people can't decide between Edgar and Edge so they voted for both.

A. Zidane.

B. This choice is once again a Paine-in-the-ass. I'll choose... Vincent.

C. Edge! I want the flirt prince to beat the pimp king!

D. Auron. Just because he's the cooler man out of those two.

Actually 10 people have voted, it says so at the bottom. So four decided not to vote in that match.

I like Edgar better, but voted for Edge becuase we need to get those FFVI characters out of there.IT'S RIGGED!

So Del is aggravated because the best game with the best characters is winning?

I just like variety.

It's not about variety. It's about the best characters. We can't always have what we want, y'know.

Sure it has variety, it has a variety of FFVI characters. :)

I think I'll remember that in the next rounds. But yeah, I agree with Del Murder. We need non-FF6 character too. Those FF6 suckers have got lucky too many times already. :D

Zidane, didn't vote, Edge, Shadow

Damn you Edge haters! I voted for Auron, but Auron vs. Shadow would be one awesome fight. I just hope this doesnt end up with another thing like Cloud vs. Sephiroth (*cough*gamefaqs*cough*)

If Edgar gets to the final four I'm cancelling the rest of this game.

1. paine
2. auron
3. zidaine
4. vincent

i honestly cannot see how u can vote 4 the older characters

Because they're good. You probably haven't even played the earlier games in the series, have you?

Also, you're only supposed to vote for one character in each pair.

Aaaaand how.

ff6 is like the ACC

Reckanize.

On to the semifinals:

Zidane (IX) vs. Vincent (VII)
Another master thief has snuck his way into the division semis. This time Zidane hopes to trick his way around Vincent before the vampiric former Turk lets loose some Chaos punishment!

Edgar (VI) vs. Auron (X)
The FFVI characters stay strong and now Edgar tries to help the game take over this tournament. He has his work cut out for him, as he battles the legendary guardian, Auron! Will Edgar find the right tool before has Auron seen 'enough'?

zidane wins if he can get into trance. and auron would probably win too.

Zidane and Auron. Edgar was okay, but Auron was the best thing about FFX. Vincent's overrated.

Vincent is one of the less good characters in ff7, battlewise. He's still better than stuffed reevis, though.

rofl stuffed reevis

Vincent was a decent story character. I don't think I ever really bothered using him much after I got him. His flying thing was cool but I couldn't really be bothered because I didn't find him very effective. xD

I liked him because he used a gun and because he was cool.

but for someone who used a gun, his attacks sucked majorly.

I hate every FF character who uses a gun as their primary weapon.

I'll go with Zidane and Auron. Vincent is cool, but Zidane's one of my favorite main FF characters (2nd only to Cloud, IMHO), and I'll go with Auron because he's a good character and because I don't want to see Edgar in the finals with the other FF6 characters.

zidaine is much like me and auron is just smooth ya kno? lol

You all make me sad by not voting for Edgar. He'd kick the living daylights out of that old man.

How can Zidane be beating Vincent WTF!?

Edgar should win this one >:O!

Vincent is crappy, that's how.

Vincent is one of the coolest characters from any FF. He deserves to win. The only characters "cooler" would probably be Sabin or Kain.

*really doesn't like Edgar* In the last round, I voted Edge against him, and in this one, I voted Auron. And if he makes it to the final, consider my vote going to Zidane or Vincent. But if it was Locke, or Gogo or someone else cool from VI, then that would be a different story altogether.

Very close, anyone's game really.

Vincent was not crappy! he was one of the best in 7 imho.

He's weak in battle, and his personality is a complete rehash of that of Shadow in FFVI and Kain in FFIV. "Hi, I'm distant and aloof." How original!

How is it a rehash? Or any more a rehash than most the characters in this series? I don't see any similarites between him and Kain.

They're both silent, brooding characters who have tragic pasts. Granted, it's almost a requisite to have a tragic past to be an rpg character, but both of them have pasts more tragic than normal.

Kain was the original silent, brooding RPG character (as far as I'm concerned) and he remains the best, with Shadow being a close second.

die, The Man!

or have you not noticed that JUST ABOUT almost every FF char have a tragic past?!

Locke - lost Rachel
Terra - was used as a weapon
Cloud - his life was made a living hell by Sephiroth
Tifa - same as Cloud

etc.....

you know the story.

Here are the results from the Wild Card semifinals (VERY close!):

Zidane - ||||\|||| 9
<b>Vincent - ||||\|||| 9*</b>

Edgar - ||||\||| 8
<b>Auron - ||||\|||| 9</b>

On to the finals:

Vincent (VII) vs. Auron (X)
A battle between guns and blades (but not gunblades), we have the vampiric Vincent versus the undead Auron. Will Vincent be able to transform himself into something that will stop Auron from breaking him in two, or will the death penalty be no match for the masamune? One of these two move on to the final four.

Locke'll tear either Auron or Vincent apart so this vote doesn't even matter. :mog:

I voted for Auron. He's winning too at the moment.

aurons HP is so high and i dont want a HIDDEN CHARACTER to win!

Voted for Vincent. I just got a soft spot for guys in a coffin. Also, I have no idea who this frigging Auron is. =D

You can't compare 99,999 hit points to 9,999 hit points when comparing characters between games, it doesn't work that way. You have to compare them relative to their own environments (i.e the game that they are in). This means you're comparing an Auron that is at the maximum hit points points possible in his game with a Vincent that has the maximum hit points possible in his game. Which means that one isn't any more powerful than the other when it comes to hit points because they both have the maximum amount possible in the game.

GO VINCENT GO!

it is a ridiculous crime that vincent has made it this far.

Even though Vincent is a cool character, I'll go with Auron this time. Hopefully he'll also do fine in the finals against those two FF6 idiots.

if vincent advances to the last round i am seriously going to cry.

Apparently I'm the only one who liked Vince...

he's decent, but overrated.

I don't care about his battle stats, it's HIM that's awesome. His concept of existence and all that.

Yeah I agree and FFX was just bad. all characters in it were just bad.

I don't see Vinny climbing out of this hole, though.

auron was the best thing about ffx.

I'll agree that Auron was the best thing about FFX, but that didn't really take much.

Yeah really. i just couldn't stand FFX. I like FFVIII more and I really disliked the story in VIII.

Vincent = teh cool0rz

Here is the winner of the Wild Card Division and moving on to the Final Four:

Vincent - ||||\|| 7
<b>Auron - ||||\||||\||| 13</b>

Vincent's shots couldn't find their mark, as master Auron used his swordsman skills to deflect and dodge. As a last ditch effort, Vince tried to turn into Chaos to strike the final blow, but in the process left himself wide open for the guardian's overdrive! Now Auron must prepare for his battle with Locke in the Final Four.

I saved the best for last, as the 16-bit Division is loaded. But only one can make it to the finals.

go lenna go butz go gus go fighter go knight go ramza

A. Cloud.
B. Kain.
C. Cecil
D. Knight!!!
E. Butz
F. Aeris
G. Rikku
H. Guy

FF6 characters better not get into the finals from this division...

I voted for

A Cloud
B Quina
C Cecil
D Strago
E Zell
F Aeris
G Rikku
H Gus

Fighter because Cloud's so overrated, Kain, Cecil, Knight, Batz, Lenna, Ramza, Sabin

Oh come on, how evil is this making me choose between Fighter and Cloud, and Quina and Kain?

I chose Cloud and Quina, as Quina is the single most sexiest FF character in the history of FF. *swoons* :love:

...this poll....

are ya kidding? Aeris will beat everyone because she can make herself immortal via Planet Protector :D.

Go zell!

Here are the results from the first round of the 16-bit Division (some of these results make me sick).

<b>Cloud - ||||\||||\| 11</b>
Fighter - |||| 4

Quina - ||||\| 6
<b>Kain - ||||\|| 7</b>

<b>Cecil - ||||\||||\| 11</b>
Wakka - || 2

Knight - ||||\| 6
<b>Strago - ||||\||| 8</b>

<b>Bartz - ||||\|||| 9</b>
Zell - ||||\ 5

<b>Aeris - ||||\|||| 9</b>
Lenna - ||||\ 5

Ramza - ||||\| 6
<b>Rikku - ||||\||| 8</b>

<b>Sabin - ||||\||| 8</b>
Gus - ||||\| 6

Anyone who thinks Strago is better than a FFI Knight and that Rikku can even hold a candle to Ramza needs to be institutionalized, seriously. Oh well, on to the next round.

bracket

Knight losing is the biggest travesty ever. Knight is the all time baddest ass kicker in FF history.

Next time I'm rigging it so Knight wins, or at least gets to the final four. And all those damn FFVI characters are going to play each other in the first round.

dont worry, ff6 wont dominate the next tournament

Quina lost. :(

Hmm, This time I voted for Cloud, Cecil, Aeris, and Rikku.

Yeah...I don't think Strago will go anywhere this round.

Wow, all of the mathces are tied except for Cecil and Strago where it's an 8-0 landslide in Cecils favor.

Kain, Cecil, Bartz, Rikku.

A. Tough one, but I'll go with Cloud.

B. Cecil! No matter whether he's a Dark Knight or a Paladin, I'm sure he can always take that old fart down!

C. Another tough one, but I'll take Aeris.

D. Rikku because I'm not voting for FF6 characters.

cloud is overrated.

#1. he started the whiny, angst-ridden/asshole protagonist trend that carried over in future ff games. (sure, cecil and terra had their own angst, but they never whined about it). cloud himself wasn't actually that bad, but squall and tidus certainly were. i swear if tidus asks one more pointless question, i'm going to smash the forking tv screen in.

#2. he spends half the game lying about who he is. maybe it's not a conscious lie because his memory's obviously been tampered with, but it seriously devalues his worth as a character. it might make him somewhat more human, but kain has the "human" thing going about him too, and it's done without the blatantly unidentifiable (to a lot of people) trait of having his memory screwed with.

kain is badass. not only does he have the ridiculously twisted past that he never once complains about, but #1. he's a dragoon, and dragoons own quite possibly every other character class out there, and #2. he isn't all flowers and goodness. he has jealousy and evil in him, and the story explores that very well. not only that, but his ending kicked ass.

aeris is somewhat overrated. she's not a bad character, but she's not the perfect goddess a lot of people make her out to be. bartz, on the other hand, is a :skull::skull::skull::skull:ing pimp. how could you vote against a pimp? it's just wrong.

i don't really care about the other matchups. actually strago doesn't deserve to advance, but he's not going to.

too many people haven't played ffiv and ffv. also, too many people vote for ffvii characters just because they're ffvii characters. the fact that vincent made it to the last battle of the previous round was a travesty.

I'm sad Gus lost.

How do you know Kain has such a twisted past? I don't remember much background given on him during the game. Cloud, however, is the most in-depth done character in all of Final Fantasy. Plus Omnislash can beat just about anything Kain can dish out.

Oh my, Strago is being whitewashed.

Oh, and wtf Quina is out? WHAT THE BANANA IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Some people just don't know sexiness when they see it...

Oh, I voted Cloud, Cecil, Aeris and Sabin.

Aeris is winning over Bartz right now? :mad:

It's not given in the game, it's given in the Japanese-only "Foundation Guide" that Square released awhile back. Kain's father's last wish was for him to become a Dragon Knight like him and restore the Highwind clan's honour. At some point, he began dating Rosa; when faced with the choice to become a Dark Knight, he had to decline, even though he wanted to bring honour to Baron. While he was away for training, Rosa took up with Cecil. Who was his best friend.

Hence, tortured past.

GO RIKKU AND CLOUD!!!

TOP 3 remaining:
1. Auron
2. Rikku
3. Cloud

huh. i doubt a vote will change a thing, but i WILL bet you that someone will vote for Strago by the end of this round.

and WTF??? Rikku is beating Sabin?!¿ :eek:

To: Mr. Mimic: yes, Aeris is beating Bartz. Aeris can use Planet Protector to make herself invincible and then beat his ass down with powerful materia spells :bgl:

yea but Bartz actually is worth levelling up. Levelling Aeris and her limits is so ridiculously beyond pointless.

When you get down to it, playing these games is pretty pointless.

Is today a new round day? I've lost track.

EDIT: Ok, I see where I screwed up. I went to fast on round one. That sucks, because there were some close battles in that round. Oh well.

of course it's all pointless, but levelling Aeris is even more pointless.

I've played the game 7 times and every time I level Aeris up to get her last limit. I don't know why, maybe because it is so awesome, maybe because I feel sorry for her and the road before her, or maybe just for completeness sake. Probably all of them, I get pretty sappy for the characters and I'm also one of those people that doesn't sell equipment so that he can have one of every item at the end.

It might be fulfilling, but it's still pointless. :p

once i get to the point that i don't have to use Aeris, she never sees my party again.

Yeah, she's cannon fodder anyway so why bother with her? I'd rather use Barret and Yuffie as you have to do solo boss battles with them.

Round 2 of the 16-bit division results:

<b>Cloud - ||||\|||| 9</b>
Kain - ||||\| 6

<b>Cecil - ||||\||||\|||| 14</b>
Strago - | 1

Bartz - ||||\|| 7
<b>Aeris - ||||\|||| 9</b>

<b>Rikku - ||||\||| 8</b>
Sabin - ||||\|| 7

Seminfinals coming up!

Cloud (VII) vs. Cecil (IV)
Two main characters battle it out in this one, with the paladin pitted against the mercenary. Can Cecil continue his momentum in this match, or will Cloud send him straight to the moon with a powerful Omnislash?

Aeris (VII) vs. Rikku (X-2)
Two ladies battle it out here. Will the planet protect Aeris enough to give her the strength of victory? Rikku may very well steal another one here.

I'm going with Cloud and Rikku.
