Lurker > Ashethan

Balthier would be better if he came from a better game tbqh. Then again he's the 'han solo' and I never really liked Han Solo.

Let's see the most popular characters left (at least who I view as most popular)

Selphie
Red XIII
Dagger
Weigraf maybe?

I think once i get the most popular characters done, I'll move on to 5 characters a day because there's a lot that just aren't as memorable.

Tidus is doing pretty well

Death
DK

Denver absolutely could blow this 17-16 like they did with the Raiders though.

I'll be more surprised if they don't

19. Sabin - 7.43
20. Locke - 7.40

Yesterday's Results:
Auron - 8.78
Vincent - 6.91
Steiner - 6.99

Auron comes close to dethroning Vivi, but can't quite get there.

Vincent rates above Cid Highwind, and around Terra.

Steiner rates between Lulu and Kain, very solid for ol' trusty Rusty.

Refs are the best player on the Browns!!

Got all the games wrong so far.

Will the Bills blow the lead they were gifted?

I thought Hoyer the Destroyer could get the job done against the Bears, but I was wrong. Forgot Josh McDaniels is Josh McDaniels.

*casts Raise*

Bills are looking really bad.

*offers Bloody Party Streamers*

Auron - 9.4
Vincent - 8.6
Steiner - 7

Auron's pretty great. Great theme. Awesome story. What's not to like about Auron?

Vincent is pretty cool. I wish he were a little more plot relevant. Can't wait to see what the remake does with him.

Steiner is a pretty good character. Possibly the best comic relief in the game tbh.

20. Ramza - 7.37

Yesterday's Results:
Sabin - 7.43
Yang - 5.83
Yda - 6.32

Sabin rates just ahead of Locke, but below his brother Edgar. Tools are just too cool. I mean he's got a chainsaw!

Yang finishes below Edge, but above Rosa.

And Yda rates a little below Alphinaud. But still does pretty solidly.

More like BlueOak amirite

Ate at McDonalds back in July, when we were moving and were on the road for four days.

Hold on a second. Changing my name to Israel.

Okay. Yes, the United States should give me $70M. I will spend it wisely.

I'd probably test it out on someone super old and pretty evil. Like I'm talking over 95. Just to see if it actually works.

Yeah, it's two separate words. It's a dumb user name, but most people called me either "Ash" or "Ethan". I've thought about changing it.

I played it, but didn't really get it. Toriel told me to wait then never came back. Should I have left the game on for another couple of hours?

Jamarcus Glover was the one they arrested before they broke into Breonna Taylor's home looking for the guy they already arrested and shot and killed her while she was sleeping. Kenneth Walker, as the article states if you knew how to read (not surprised, they usually don't teach literacy in Mississippi) was her boyfriend who was actually there at the time and was trying to defend his home from violent intruders who were hell bent on killing him and his girlfriend.

The quest marker is WAY off for some reason. Wonder if they'll ever patch that.

Also i keep forgetting to put points into my abilities. Really need to start doing that more often.

Okay, I swear finding this last piece of stardust is impossible...

edit finally found it... geez

Sabin - 10
Yang - 8.4
Yda - 7

Sabin is awesome. He suplexes a freaking train! One of my favorite FFVI characters, without the baggage of Edward.

Yang is pretty great too. His kick ability is pretty sweet. And his story with Sheila is fantastic.

Yda is okay. She was one of the first major characters I met in FFXIV cause I started as an Archer.

Darn Cat

I feel like I'm getting old, cause that Titan Fight felt like it lasted forever.

Delita
Cid
Rinoa

Is there any chance you might extend the rankings to Top 20, Ashethan? Feels like we got a pretty good pool going now.

Sure, I can do that.

MacArrowny posted...

We're counting Yda and Lyse as the same character here, right?

Yes.

Have to wait until Christmas and get this for my kids (and me.)

I'll sign up.

Self-care still the best killer perk fwiw.

Yesterday's Results:
Delita Hyral - 7.67
Seifer Almasy - 6.75
General Leo - 5.93

Delita rates very well, highest of all FFT characters so far. Almost makes the Top 10!

Seiferrates just above Terra. Below Quistis, but above Zell and Irvine.

General Leo does pretty well for a temporary party member. Rating above Zell and just below Ultimecia.

Though honestly 41% is more than I thought it would be. I do wonder what would happen to the results of the first poll if you took out the word supplies.

I'm more surprised the Republicans are a little more consistent than the Democrats on a question.

43% say "Don't send weapons" 41% say "Send aid to Gaza."

Meanwhile you've got a lot of Dems saying "Let's send Gaza aid to help with the weapons we're sending Israel to use against them."

Alex Jones can't use bankruptcy to not pay Sandy Hook victims.

Good. Fuck him, and I hope he becomes the world's only homeless person some day.

Delita - 8.6
Seifer - 8.2
General Leo - 7.5

Delita provides a lot of intrigue to the game. Definitely one of the best FFT characters.

Seifer is a nice foil to Squall. Not truly evil, but not truly good either. A morally grey character that gets a happy ending all things considered. His rivalry with Squall should've been explored a bit more. Especially given the twist.

General Leo is pretty good for a temporary party member. His offering is really cool, and he provides a face for the empire that isn't completely evil. He does, however, look the other way when evil occurs. (At least until he meets up with the party in person). But he also realizes it, and I think he wants redemption. It was pretty obvious he wouldn't become a party member because you couldn't name him. I feel like the shock of his death would've been much bigger if the game didn't practically spoil that. Solid character all around.

My past favorites:

Gen 1: 4. Charizard
Gen 2: 9. Ampharos
Gen 3: 13. Gardevoir
Gen 4: 6. Garchomp
Gen 5: 2. Krookodile
Gen 6: 37. Delphox
Gen 7: 5. Lycanroc

Not too bad.

...actually now I'm wondering which FF's don't have your party imprisoned at some point.

FFI
FFIII
FFXV

And I think that's it.

Rinoa gets abducted a couple times!

Edgar
Jessie
Cloud
Wakka

Tellah had the decency to die. Probably need to give 4 a replay but all I remember is she's Cecil's girlfriend who gets kidnapped a lot and Kain has a crush on.

She gets kidnapped literally once.

This is why I feel like FF8 could use a real remake that fleshes out the characters a bit more in the way 7 remake did for 7. With all the trains and everything they could skip much of the world map.

This was an awesome topic, Steiner. Your spreadsheets are amazing.

Top 10:

1. Vivi - 8.82
2. Aerith - 8.5
3. Cloud - 8.14
4. Rikku - 8.1
5. Rydia - 8.1
6. Kefka - 8.07
7. Squall - 7.97
8. Yuna - 7.96
9. Tifa - 7.85
10. Barret - 7.76

Yesterday's Results:
Tifa Lockhart - 7.85
Lulu - 6.96
Rosa Farrell - 4.97

Tifa ranks in the Top 10, but at the bottom. Above Barrett by a little bit in spite of having a number of people who really didn't like her.

Lulu rates respectably just below Quistis.

Rosa barely ranks above Edward. (C'mon. She's better than Tellah!)
