Lurker > Ifrit

Results:

Behemoth - 7.33
Malboro - 6.95
Midgar Zolom - 6.66

This has been a really fun contest to run. Thanks to everyone who participated! You can now post ratings in this topic for any that you missed! I'll try to keep things updated. I do wonder how FFXVI would do when more people have played it. I imagine not nearly as well. Though I imagine Cidolfus will remain very popular.

Tomorrow begins a new series. Might not interest the same people, but should be interesting. And at least will have a lot of characters worth rating.

I almost feel like summons should be on their own list. Less people care about rating them and they get bloated by Ulti's love for summons lol

Yeah, they should probably be separated because they have lower vote totals.

Yesterday's Results:
Phoenix - 8.80
Alexander - 9.00
Yojimbo - 8.25
Brothers - 6.45

Phoenix is one of the highest rated Summons
Alexander rates ahead of Shiva
Yojimbo rates very well
And Brothers isn't quite as popular as the others.

Yesterday's Results:
Leviathan - 8.29
Asura - 7.63
Madeen - 5.44
Tritoch - 6.83
Bismarck - 4.88

Leviathan rates really well
Asura, despite only having one appearance, rates highly
Madeen rates higher than Eiko does
Tritoch doesn't do too bad for having only a single appearance
And Bismarck rates lowest of all summons so far.

Yesterday's Results:
Bahamut - 9.70
Typhon - 5.37
Atomos - 5.90
Mist Dragon - 6.88
Good King Moogle Mog - 6.93

Bahamut, king of Dragons, is our highest rated character, with near universal love so far. Though with few votes, it's liable to change.

Typhon does not do so well. I always remember him as Chupon from Final Fantasy VI. *Sneezes*

Atomos doesn't rate that well

Mist Dragon does okay, but not as well as you might expect of a summon with some story significance.

Good King Moogle Mog does a little better, but still not great.

Future planned "Rate the ___" character topics:

-Pokemon Character (NOT Pokemon. Things like Gym Leaders, Rivals, Player Characters, etc...)
-Ace Attorney Characters
-Persona Characters

I think those would be fun. I'd like to save Persona and Ace Attorney for when AA Trilogy 2 and Persona 3 Reload come out though.

Yesterday's Results:

Odin - 8.55
Knights of the Round - 8.50
Fenrir - 6.48
Crusader - 5.37
Maduin - 6.05

Odin, the insta-kill king, rates very highly!
Knights of the Round, who probably does some extreme damage (and takes almost as long to summon as it does to get) also rates nearly as high
Fenrir isn't quite as popular, but that's not surprising
Crusader does very poorly
And Maduin, despite having some story relevance, doesn't do too well either.

yesterday's results:

Titan - 6.29
Cactaur - 8.03
Tonberry - 8.17
Diablos - 6.56
Doomtrain - 7.19

Titan rates pretty low for one of the major summons.

Cactaur and Tonberry are very popular for recurring enemies as well as summons

Diablos does a little better than Titan

And Doomtrain does solidly well, but does have some people who don't like it.

Yesterday's Results:
Ramuh - 7.09
Ixion - 5.85
Quetzalcoatl - 5.86
Valefor - 6.82
Pandemona - 4.78

Ramuh doesn't do nearly as well as Ifrit or Shiva, but still best of our lightning summons.

Ixion is slightly less popular than Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl isn't well loved either, though.

Valefor doesn't do quite as well as I'd expect, for Yuna's original summon.

Pandemona does very poorly for a summon. I'm still not sure what it's supposed to be.

Yesterday's Results:

Shiva - 8.99
Sylph - 5.09
Anima - 8.02
Magus Sisters - 7.76
Lakshmi - 5.44

The Ice Queen rates above every character so far. Though we barely managed 11 votes.

Sylph rates pretty poorly, which isn't too surprising. Not a popular Summon.

Anima rates very well. Almost as well as Ifrit

Magus Sisters also do extremely well.

Lakshmi is a little higher than Sylph.

I always said Bee-Heh-Muth for some reason.

Well, I can do it as a final day and give everyone an opportunity to rate characters they might have missed one last time.

Nominate Tonberry, Behemoth, Cactuar, and Malboro. Just because we havent tapped that vein yet.

You'll be happy to know Tonberry and Cactaur are coming up. I feel like Behemoth and Malboro are just too much random enemies though.

Yesterday's Results:

Ifrit - 8.03
Siren - 6.43
Carbuncle - 6.22
Cerberus - 6.42
Eden - 5.45

Ifrit does very well, not a surprise for one of the most common summons.

Siren does fairly well.

Carbuncle isn't as well liked as some of the others

Cerberus is more popular than Carbuncle, despite having fewer appearances

Eden does the worst, and is one of the more forgotten summons of FF8.

I've got more Rate The ___ Characters planned for the future. Or at least a couple more. If there's any series you'd like to see, please tell me.

Pretty sure I know what I'm doing next, though.

Yesterday's Results:

Ace - 6.25
Layle - 7.83
Tseng - 6.11
Byron - 7.43

Ace does pretty well, but doesn't get many votes.

Almost nobody played Crystal Bearers, but Layle is very popular among the few who did.

Tseng rates pretty well, but still below the other Turks.

And Byron almost rates as high as Dion Lesage

Yesterday's Results:

Umaro - 3.95
Desch - 5.25
Zalbaag - 7.1
Ricard Highwind - 5.63

Umaro rates the lowest of all FFVI characters
Desch rates second highest of the FFFIII cast
Zalbaag rates third highest of the FFT cast, behind just Delita and Ramza, and ahead of his older brother Dycedarg (but not Dycedarg's older brother maybe)
Ricard is the highest rated FFII character. Which is not saying a lot for FFII.

Ritz - 4.75
Palmer - 4.17
Cagnazzo - 4.50
Ghido - 4.95
Guy - 3.82

Zemus doesn't do well, as expected for a villain that shows up way too late.

Ardyn is the third highest FFXV character. Not a surprise.

Gestahl does okay, but he gets undone too quick to leave a lasting impression.

Zenos is just behind Gestahl

Rubicante rates just below Cecil!

Joshua rates pretty well, but that's not a surprise. Most people who've played FFXVI like their characters so far.

Cissnei does okay, just below her fellow turks

Ritz can't beat out Marche

Palmer is the least popular FFVII character

Cagnazzo doesn't do nearly as well as the other fiend

Ghido makes his fans sad

and Guy rates lower than all the FFII characters so far.

Yesterday's Results:
Gilgamesh - 7.19
Gau - 6.05
Brother - 3.14
Chocolina - 6.55

Gilgamesh rates higher than all FFV characters, which isn't too surprising.

Gau rates a little above Setzer. Not one of the most popular members of the FF6 cast, but not the least popular either.

Brother rates the lowest of all characters, including Vaan. FFX made him unremarkable. FFX-2 made him creepy.

Chocolina rates decent for a minor character, above Snow and Hope, but below Serah.

Use whatever start time is easiest for you. I don't have any preference personally.

Leblanc had a mix of scores that kept her right close to the middle. She's just hurt by the lack of offset for 1's and 2's she got. Those hurt a lot with low vote numbers.

Tip: The first area is great for restoring your blood vials, as they become prohibitively more expensive as the game goes on. At least that's what I found when I did my playthrough topic 2 years ago.

Yesterday's Results:
Elena - 6.81
Leblanc - 5.06
Lunafreya - 6.57
Benedikta - 7.86

Elena rates the highest of all the turks, in a respectable position.

Leblanc is the lowest rated FFX character so far.

Lunafreya does pretty well for a character who's importance isn't too big. Higher than Iris, but below Prompto.

And Benedikta benefits a lot from FFXVI being very recent and not having a lot of people play it. But she is a pretty awesome character nonethless.

this sucks because the ravens will make the playoffs and get bounced again, dooming us to a lower draft pick with nothing to show for it... again.

Trade up if you have a player you've got your eye on. It's not that difficult. Might be costly in terms of picks, but it's better than losing games to get a better draft position and create a culture of losing.

That probably helps the Jaguars most of all teams, weirdly enough. Well the Vikings too.

I think chang said he had a lot of traveling to do over holidays and wouldn't be able to play or host until 2024.

Vayne - 4
Emet-Selch - 7
Dion Lesage - Abstain for now
Mewt - 4.5

Didn't do these the other day. Vayne is a pretty meh villain. Emet-Selch is definitely a solid character, but honestly not one of my absolute favorites. Haven't seen Dion's story finish yet. As for Mewt he's not too bad. His design is terrible though.

It's too bad Phoenix was taken. Then I could have risen from the ash. (go ahead groan. I'm allowed to make dad jokes.)

Also because my wife loves Phoenix Wright.

Nah, I sent in the change the other day.

Oh hey! My name change went through. Cool.

I'll sign up. My username might be changing soon though, cause I put in for one.

Also want to say I've put in for a username change when it changes, I'll let you know.
